    Day 12 should I give up?

    Well here I am day 12 and completly pissed off and depressed! First week was great lost 5 pounds and inches. Now here I am doing all the right things and all the weight is back...still can't go to the loo and feel like I'm pregnant. It's not the TOM cause I had a hysterectomy two yes ago...I drink more than enough water and exersize everyday!
    I don't want to give up but I'm feeling helpless! Ugh!




    HW-162/SW-152/CW-140/GW-130...and than some later if needed!

    First goal met 10lbs down
    now on for the next 10

    Hang in there, Jules! The problem you have can be sorted out and you'll feel better (and lighter!) soon. Did you try a fiber supplement, taken with a lot of water? If that didn't work, take some magnesium (e.g. magnesium oxide) and that should do the trick. Or a stool softener.

      Hi Jules! Noooooo...don't give up! You're through the hardest part! You just need to figure out your specific problem and you'll be good to go. In two more days, you can move to OWL and MORE veggies. You can do this!

        I hope you get that sorted out. But don't give up. For me magnesium really works - drink lots of water

          Post your menu for others to look at ... people may see what may be causing you problems. Are you using flax for fiber? What kind of veggies are you eating? Are you eating cheese?

          When you are alone in your head, you are in a bad neighborhood.

            As someone posted yesterday - you might be weighing yourself plus 'Mr Poo' at the moment, so try a glycerine suppository to get things moving.
            Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
            Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
