Hey Tulip.....thanks...

I talked to my counsellors.....they told me to stop walking for a while and that may be the cause.

I do weigh my food and I eat everything I am suppose to and drink my 8 glasses of water.

Do you think I should drink more than that because I weigh more?

[halfbakedtulip]

Melanie...

That actually may be what the problem is/was. If you were walking and sweating etc and not getting enough water ur body would retain alot of the water you were drinking for fear of not getting more. On the other hand if u drink too much your body will hold on to that too. I actually had to curb my water drinking when I started this program...I used to drink between 3 and 4 liters a day. That came from when I used to spend so much time in the gym. I believe you need enough water to be able to flush out toxins etc released in your body but too much water is never good. Why dont you wait and see if stopping walking will help first?


Everyone....can anyone tell me why they would discourage walking or exercise period for that matter? I have heard this before and I find it odd and perhaps unhealthy. My counsellor told me "we would wait and see how I did" before she decided if I needed to cut out my gym routine. I dont just want to see the weight down on the scale...I want to be toned and healthy too!!

I've heard about the ??questions?? about exercise. I did not recieive answers that I understood from my councellors that made much sense. So I stick to 30 min of exercise 5 days a week. Meaning intentional exercise. Not what was my normal activity level which was low anyways.

GREAT news! I have now lost a total 30 lbs. Only 2 more to get my first 10% off!

I would like to me measured on Sat see what the update is there.

[MelaniePP]

Thanks Tulip..... I will see if it helps!

Good job Julia

I am on week 14 of HM

I had hit a plateau I thought but dropped down to 174 today and so far 32 inches lost.

I will admit I do not weigh my food at all but do not really eat starches rice cakes and arrowroots are my only starches pretty much. They also told me to have all my food in by 6pm so I try my hardest for that buit is hard when you work shift work.

Tulip don't feel bad about the cheat I think sometimes we need to do that to get back on the wagon and to give us the ummph to do it better.

I had the person I do not like at the centre today she always makes me feel worse even if I lose..like I am not losing enough..

anyhow good job gals!

[sexynesscoming]

Thanx julia and halfbaked...
I'm resting as much as I can with 2 kids and sports with them and managing a buisness that is very busy. When I'm homa all I do is lay around or sleep. I find out on the 22nd if their gonna say surgery or not. I would excercise a little if I had enough energy to do it, I barely have enough to walk from room to room, my bodyaches are worse than any other time and then my stomach hurts out of the blue so I can unfortunately.

Right now my throat and ears are soooooo sore. sorry for the whining *L*

Congrats to the losers.. way to go!!

Welcome to the newbies, you'll love it here! Well back to resting and then bed again.

Take Care everybody

Holy Cow
I go away for 4 days and we gain new people, (yippee) and we move to a new thread because be are too "big" LOL.
I haven't stepped on a scale since Sunday pm and I am very curious as to my weight. I can't even guess.
As for the S/B and F/B my councillors recommended 2 of each for every meal I was there, as NO MEALS were going to be right on plan. It is a training centre for youth, so , youth friendly meals.
I'm going to check my weight tonight , and of course tomorrow for WI.
I'll let you all know. Cross your finger everyone.

Good Night

[takingchances]

[takingchances]

Ok so I am working the night duties and really started looking around and now have a siggy...

[JuliaDH]

Yay for the siggy! They are fun.

[TrudyF]

Hey guys.. I found you.. I have been MIA for a bit and kind of on a plateau. I did finally loose 3lbs yesterday so I am back on track.

Sorry about your Grandmother Christina.

And welcome to all the new people here.

This is a busy thread now.

Talking about alcohol, I drink usually once every weekend (quite a few) and still have lost weight continuously. I am usually up after the weekend so I don't go in till Tues or Wed. Even though I don't usually eat when I am drinking so maybe thats why I still loose.

Off to change my ticker.
Byeeeee
