3 month Progress w/ pics

helpmelose2011

I've been bummed out lately b/c I've been retaining water. I will go from 232 to 240 within a few days. The doctor saw the swelling and prescribed lasix to help with the water retention. (still unsure why I'm retaining water) Anyways, I've been trying to document my progress with pictures - having a photography background - it makes it easier for me to see then just numbers on a page. I just updated a pic 2 weeks ago but with the fluctuating scale I decided pictures are better than numbers. What do you all think? I know my thighs and butt have gone down a lot b/c of all the c25k training, zumba and kickboxing. Just looking for some encouragement today

Always looking for supportive friends - add me if you'd like!

I see a difference everywhere. You're doing great. Keep it up!

As for the water retention, are you tracking your sodium intake? Too much salt will make you retain water.
Also, if you're not drinking enough water your body will hold onto what it has.

Yay for you! That's a big difference. I can really see it in your torso, but also in your face. It looks like you've lost more weight than that. Congrats! :flowerforyou:

Increase your intake of water maybe? I have been consuming about a gallon a day for the past 3 weeks and have noticed a substantial reduction in water retention.

Yes I was tracking it before the doctor told me to - I try to keep it under 2500mg a day - It was a bit high sunday but I cant be perfect everyday - damn hot wings
As far as the water I'm drinking 12 or more glasses a day. My problem with that is .. I seem to not be releasing what Im taking in (except for sweating during my workouts) I have another Dr appt for April 19th. I will discuss with him about the possibility of kidney issues then.

Thank you all for the support it is much needed today! I feel like I've lost more and it looks it to but the scale doesnt agree so we're not on talking terms at the moment :drinker:

I attend to retain a lot of water due to my high sodium intake. I created my food diary to keep track of it. I started drinking more water. I held on to the weight for 3 weeks and then finally had a 6 pound loss this past week. Your before and after photos are amazing. I can definately see the difference from when you first started out on this journey. Stay encouraged!:happy:
