Skymnigen... this is exactly what I've been thinking today. Obviously my eyes have been opened and there must be something wrong with the math. Even though I had a significant weight loss: my body has improved significantly in the past week, it's as clear as day physically... Likely the first scale broke the first time we…

Thank you so much, I appreciate you seeing this RaeBeeBaby! :smile:

lol that's exactly what I thought at first too! Those scales be crazy! I already said, but yeah my husband went and got new scales from the supermarket down the road, 15 minutes later I weighed myself on new scales and they said the same thing.

Lounmoun I know what you mean... it would seem that way. But in this case it all makes sense and feels right. I was over DOUBLE my ideal body weight. Your body really wants to release that fat, so it comes of quick. Plus there was water weight and the (sorry tmi) but the massive bowel movement on day 6... We did think the…

I'm so vain emmydoodle I stopped leaving the hose because of my weight.. so I didn't take before pictures because I was so ashamed of how bad I got. It was bad and I didn't want anyone from my past who new me as fit and hot to see how gross I got.

Yep absolutely! a lot of it was water weight. Still - that water weight was part of my weight issue, so it still counts. I'm staying hydrated so it was all the stored sugar fluid that gets trapped. Once my lymph system started working better it got flushed out (hence the reason I massaged my lymph system)

Skymnigen it's hard to understand since you're not here. I had headaches the first 3 or 4 days. But healing reactions are common. Traditional Chinese medicin teaches them. When people begin to heal they have sick type of symptoms as the toxins release. It's not a bad thing and it's not permanent. I'm definitely not…

^^^^Super unimpressed with this last comment. You only make yourself look bad by saying mean things, Friend. Peace and Love xo

I am at 1200 for the next 3 weeks, until I go back up to 1500... I'm looking for supportive MFP friends too! So I will add you :-)

I really agree with this and couldn't have said it better myself... The important thing is not to deprive yourself, but to begin exploring new and delicious foods that are easy to whip up... That's why you have the calorie counter too, so you gage which day you want to have that nice piece of chocolate cake for instance,…

This is brilliant - what a great way to look at it! I totally agree, it may take a'a whole year' but I suggest make your aim for one week and then one month - notice how much better you feel after you exercise, if you are breathing deeply more often, happier, feeling less bloated or acidy etc etc..... And have inspiration…

Thanks for replying! I look forward to seeing your posts and having some fun! :-)

It sounds like you are really going through a lot! I go through stages too, where I am so happy just being comfortable nothing can pull me out of it, so don't feel down it really is a normal part of the cycle...... One thing that helps me is getting an idea the night before and having every single thing i need ready for…

Hi Kate! You're story sounds amazing - I will add you! :-)

Hi Shonnie, So nice to meet you, I will add you:)
