Great Job on your weeks weight loss!! I am very proud of you! It is kinda strange how you and I so far have had the same issues. My water retention in weeks 2 and 3 were really bad, for really no apparent reason. I kinda think it was hormones as my body was trying to have a cycle or something, which I hadn't had in years. I just upped the water like 30 to 40 ounces more, started the nova-lax. I have now started the enzymes and my tummy is great. I also truly believe in the power of celery. Coffee too helps the water issue. Good Luck with all the tips from everyone and keep up the good work Sister in Law!!! Originally Posted by tcswain

I was excited because I just new that the individuals that I work with would be so excited for me. I am walking in and all pumped up with expectations and someone stopped me (a client) and welcomed me back and looked me up and down (I was sure she was going to compliment me) and she said, "You look wonderful, you cut all of your hair off didn't you." I guess there are some people that really do see us for what we are inside.

Ladies and gentlemen....
I bought a pair of size 8 jeans yesterday. Yes. That would be a single digit size. I honestly canNOT remember the last time I was in the single digit sizes. Best part is, the sales lady had to talk me into trying a size 8. I had picked out a pair of 10s and the waist band gapped really bad in the back. She came by my dressing room to ask how I was so I just asked her if this cut of jeans was supposed to gap in the back. She said no, that I needed a smaller size. An 8. I had her repeat herself 2x because I wanted to make sure I heard her correctly. She just laughed about it.
I went and had my first fitting with the new wedding dress today. They are having to take in 2 inches off of my hips and an inch off of my waist. I'll gladly take that. Gladly.
Now on to my 2 hour "break" from IP.
We had our cake testing this afternoon. I only allowed myself one fork of each flavor. That plan worked out really well. I know it'll set me back just a smidge, but I'm not too worried about it. I don't really think I ate enough to make me plateau again. My coach told me to be extremely strict the rest of the weekend and I should be fine. I'm going to take the boot camp approach till at least Tuesday.
Once again, how exciting!! The wedding dress and the size 8!! Great Job also on the cake tasting!! You are doing great! Originally Posted by Soon 2 B MrsT
