    Salt+ Edema=A Nightmare!
    After my lowest of 193 lbs, May 5th.....

    I gained 10 lbs! I will take responsibility and note that my diet has been high in salt, which triggered a flare up. At times, my salt count (especially at dinner meals) were in the 3K range! Oops! My calories and workouts have been really great, but I decided to go rogue, and...

    ***BREAK OUT THE SAUNA SWEAT SUIT!***

    It did the trick!! I lost -7 lbs of out 10 in just a few days. Almost to where I was earlier this month. woo-hoo! I'm still working on it. I hope to break through the 180s by late may/early june. *prayer hands*

    ****6th-19th: Ups/downs/highest weight, 203! salt, water...
    ****week of the 20th-26th: 196 lbs

    I am not giving up. I need one more miracle in May!

    Holy moley! I grumble about my 2-3 lb. bipolar weight swings.

    Sauna sweat suit? It's a real thing?

    Glad you're back on the right side of Onderland, but please be careful. Swings like that can't be good for you.

    I have been battling puffiness too. Warm weather brings it for sure.

    I fluxed up 5.5 pounds this weekend, unfortunately for me it’s a normal thing to gain and loose that much in a day or two. Still hard not to freak out a bit when you see the numbers go up like that lol. We still have a few days left in May, let’s make them count!!

    My body is quite used it to the big swings, it's heredity. I've been dealing with this since I was a teenager. No biggie. The sauna suit, that is the real deal--and yes it works--but, that's one thing you have to be careful about is not overdoing it. You can get severely dehydrated! I will only wear the suit every once in a while during the summer season only. I feel as it's more dangerous to take water pills (that can damage your kidneys) oppose to wearing a sauna suit, whereas you can sweat out the fluid naturally. Either way it's MY FAULT that my meals lately have been VERY HIGH in sodium. Silly me....
