I know what ya mean Murphmitch and Natasha! I can definitely tell a difference in the fit of my clothes and ultimately that's more satisfying to me than some numbers on a scale. At the same time though, I guess I must have been retaining water and bloated because this morning the scale dropped down a few more numbers for a total loss of 6lbs thus far (going by the WW scale. Going to check the gym scale as soon as I can.) Yay!! I attribute it to the great suggestions I got in this thread.
Thanks again guys! And I had my beans and veggies this morning as promised.
I always get such great ideas from you girls!! Way to stay strong melanie!! It's such a personal thing as far as how much grain we can add back in. I'm only up to like 2 a week before I start to slowly creep back up the scale.
Mel, if you feel like you are retaining water...this sounds weird but blending watermelon rind and parsley together will help...you'll be a tinkle queen, but it will help!
Mel, you've heard everything here that you need to, but I just wanted to say great job staying on plan! you've been such an inspiration to so many people over those past 5 weeks!
