FINALLY - Past the Plateau!
WOO HOO! Lost 2.8 this week. That means I finally broke past the 2 month plateau. I know 2 months seems like a long time with no change, but in the grand scheme of your entire life, it's not very long. If you've hit a plateau or even a gain, do not get discouraged, just stick it out and do what you know to do and your body will come around. I did pointpoint the source of my 2 lb. gain over the last few weeks. It's the water. The water in Commerce has tasted like dirt for over a month and since WW changed the requirement to 6-8 liquids a day instead of being "water" specific, I was drinking a lot of diet soda and not much water. I felt like I had gained about 10 lbs, not 2. My clothes were tight and my rings were not loose they they had been. I switched back to mostly water last week and things are back to normal, so I realize that was from water retention. 2 lbs would not have made such a drastic difference otherwise. So if you are starting slow, just get your liquids in, but the less carbonation, the better your result. Water Aerobics in Commerce at 11:00. WOO HOO!

Yeah! Way to go! I have been almost 2 months too and I am losing my mind! I am trying to get the workouts in more often and I too need to go back to being very serious about my water. I bought the big water purifer at WalMart and it has been awesome. I have well water here and now it tastes great. It was about 30 bucks for a large one and I keep it in the fridge and refill my water bottles. I will heed your advice and get off of the diet soda and crystal lite and do my water and hopefully my weight will move again too! plus I need to beat the hunger at 4PM and after 9! Usually if I am exhausted from exercise I just go ahead and sleep at night and beats one of those times! I am going to try to eat a Progresso lite soup at @4PM...they are low on weight watchers points too...and yummy and filling!
