I've been waiting for about 6 days now for my body to drop the excess weight its been carrying around. It finally left us this morning.

My first week of induction I went from a 238 to a 228 and couldn't have been happier. Then suddenly I went back up to 230 for no apparent reason. Finally, after sticking it out and trying really hard not to let it get to me I weighed in at 227 this morning.

You would think that after 15 years of dieting I would remember that my body holds onto excess water for a few days before dumping weight. Don't know why, its a mystery, but it does.

I really appreciate all the encouragement everyone has been giving me. I know that, in the end, it isn't a disaster to stall and everyone does it, but man it sure can be demoralizing when you are working so hard.

Good luck to everyone today!!!
