Subject: Oh NO!!

Well everyone I thought things were grand until this morning. I have been doing this diet for almost 3 months and went from 212 to 190. I was so excited. Today I got on the scale and gained 5 lbs. I have been following the diet and I don't bounce around on the scale. I hope it is just water retention, but it is not that TOM for another 2 weeks. I just about cried.

Has anyone had similar experiences?

Dana

Hi Dana I once gained 4 pounds in the space of an afternoon. I was eating home made beef jerky (in which I used soy sauce). All the extra salt cause that much extra water to be retained. If it is hot where you are or you are using extra salt, it could simply be water retention. Don't worry about it, it will come back off. (NT) -- Sherry, 08:22:34 07/22/02 Mon
I've gained as much as 8 pounds overnight with no change in diet or routine. It's water retention. Give it a couple of days. If you're not already taking a B-complex vitamin, you may want to add one to help get rid of the extra water. (NT) -- Katie, 08:45:10 07/22/02 Mon
