Hi, I've gained 3-5 lbs (depending on the day) since upping my calories almost 6 weeks ago. Hoping it goes down soon :) hang in there!

You look great!!!!

I've started lifting weights! First time since having surgery to repair my deltoid over 4 months ago :drinker: And all my blood tests came back excellent. Good job everyone!

I'm very interested in the potassium aspect as well. My potassium is so low everyday......... What's everyone else's potassium average each day?

Hi, I just ordered the book last night and aiming for a Monday start (if it arrives in time). I'd love an add :). Thanks.

I've had the same goat bloat as I call it. It's getting better now, but man it was so uncomfortable of a feeling. Hang in there!

I can relate! I went through the same thing......now I'm a hungry girl.

You guys are the best! Thank you!

Anyone? :flowerforyou: Pretty please?

Thank you!:flowerforyou: And you are simply Gorgeous! :love:

Great news! Thanks for sharing your story, it gives us hope! :flowerforyou:

I just started using this and really like it; R & B: http://www.lushusa.com/R-B/03080,en_US,pd.html a little goes a long way. I use Potion 9: http://www.sebastianprofessional.com/en_US/products/flow/product.jsp?id=100004 I also use Moroccan Oil.

I'm only on week 2, but wanted to say Welcome!

I stalled and/or would lose and gain the same few pounds for months......... Just started eating more 2 weeks ago.

:flowerforyou: Thanks Ladies!

I'm so glad you posted this and can totally relate. I just completed Week 2 and I'm up 2-3 pounds, but the bloating is really the worst part. I also struggled to eat all the calories until this weekend.....it felt like I was never satisfied! Thanks for reassuring us Lucia...........the psychological component is the most…

Nice work !!:drinker:

Excellent news!!:drinker: How long did it take before you started seeing results?

If it makes you feel better, mine always says I'll gain! Keep calm and carry on.

1.4% is awesome!!!!:smile:

Nice work!:flowerforyou:

Thank you!

I'm sorry you are frustrated. Not much to add, other than I've been there......and I'm still there. 3 months of losing and regaining the same pounds. It makes you want to pull your hair out! I Just started eating more and I'm hopeful for changes. Did you mention how long you've been at the new eating more level? As for…

Interesting.....Lately I've slightly gained and feel very pillsbury doughboy-ish, I've been tracking so we'll see. I have to say, I rarely drink, but have found it odd that I'm always down on the scale afterwards......now it makes sense. Lucia- what do your high carb days look like, if you don't mind?

Interesting point of view on "whooshes"........thoughts? http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/of-whooshes-and-squishy-fat.html

Hi- I'm in week 2 of eating more and was wondering how long this "goat bloat" last? My abdomen feels distended and it's not a pleasant feeling. Thanks ladies:flowerforyou:

Wow, thanks for all the responses.:flowerforyou: Lots of good ideas, I have severe allergies too....so I will give the MSM a try. Oh.....and I use a netti-pot which can be very helpful.

Everyone has given great advice, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the pain you are going through.

Congratulations! This is great to hear that you lost after the initial gain:smile:

You are correct! After 30+ years I'm about "weirded" out.... I do have to say Oregon is one of the most stunning places, worth a visit for sure.
