I have a god awful toothache, seeing the dentist on Thursday but right now and since lunchtime yesterday I can't eat anything. I'm hoping it won't lead to a horrible gain when I start eating properly again

    Just been drinking warm water, I really can't tolerate anything else. I'm not even hungry but I think that's the pain. Just so annoyed as I've been so on track! Oh well, get it fixed then back to being tracking queen ;-)

    I meant not eating for a few days then going back to eating normally might push the scales up on my next weigh in. If it won't do that...wonderful!

    Make smoothies, blend vegetables and fruits. Grab some protein drinks. Mash potatos and soup is what usually gets me through a situations like this.

    It might spike from where you bottom out at, but you will likely net a loss.
