I assume my taking a diuretic is why I am not getting the initial "WOOSH" loss?
12 days at this (second go around after 5 years) and I am not getting the heavy initial loss I did the first time around. I can only assume it is because I am taking a diuretic this time (high blood pressure) and it is making it so I am not retaining water as I would normally - therefore not dropping water weight right at…

Less than 4 weeks in but stalled for the last 9 days
I am a wee bit frustrated to say the least and I know weight loss is not linear and it takes time, etc. I am in this for the long haul and understand it did not go on overnight and will not come off overnight. That being said, it feels way too early in the process to have stalled already. Stats: Week 1 - 4.6 lb loss Week 2…
