Default Re: At a loss... very upset

I know what you mean. I have been on extended induction know and I have lost 15 pounds in 5 weeks but for 2 of those weeks the scale did not move at all!!I even gave up sweetners, diet soda, I only drank water and I drank 80-120 ounces a day. I was so disgusted and then I found out some interesting information Our fat cells actually have a defense system and as they shrink in size they maintain their size by taking in water. It can take 6 weeks to eliminate that excess fluid.

You said you have been drinking a 100 ounces of water a day. Have you noticed if you have been visiting the ladies room as much as you probably should? It could be possable that you are losing the fat but carrying the water. You may be one of those people like me that sheds 6-8 pounds in a week than nothing for 2weeks than shed another 5-6 pounds of water. Keep up the good work! You will see the results if you are patient!
