Re: 2009 Staying Cheat Free Challenge
Un-freakin believable. 21 days cheat free and I've GAINED 4 pounds. On Friday I noticed that I had gone back up to 228 after being 226 for two days. Then this morning I'm suddenly at 230!
I have to keep reminding myself that my body gains water weight before it dumps fat...but 4 pounds is a lot to put up with! URG!!!!! I know its only temporary but its so demoralizing when I've been working SOOOOO hard! I even went out this weekend and spent $100 on additional sports bras, yoga mat, free weights and exercise videos I had researched so I would have no excuse not to work out. (pulled a muscle in my back this weekend so that is on the back burner for the next few days, except walking) If those little ketone strips weren't coming back with a reasonable light purple color I'd be worried.Bellajgw aka Jacqui

Re: 2009 Staying Cheat Free Challenge
Hang in there Bella. Your analagy of what is happening with you is an accurate one. I see a visit form the Whooshie Fairy coming soon in your future. Those four pounds + more will be gone soon.
Can I give you a word of advice? Stay off the scale for at least a week at a time. Our weight fluctuates so much throughout just one week that it can get discouraging to some, if they allow the number on the scale to dictate what kind of day they'll have. Weighing once a week is sufficient.
That's great that you bought all that for exercising. Good for you.Looks to me like you're setting yourself up for success. And you will be successful. Patience dear, it will happen. Sorry about you back. Wishing you a speedy recovery on that.

Re: 2009 Staying Cheat Free Challenge
Hey everyone - keep going!
I hear you Bella, I've been struggling with this myself. Bah!
Hi articsp2003 - congrats on four days it always gets easier on the 5th day for me
Sherri - yep, I think we're on a roll! (Low carb of course)
I got my days a bit wrong before but this is day 22 yay! I had a superhard meeting again but thankfully there was a turkey salad option - which was not tasty but I survived. Hopefully a clear run for a while
