I'm gaining all of a sudden

[Sera]

ah finally a small success, after having gone up to 81.3 yesterday, I'm down to 80.7 today.
YAY!
All but 1 of the gained centimeters are gone again and I still don't know what was different except that I only had 1 portion of meat during the day yesterday and I didn't have my evening snack but eating both of these portions never caused problems before.
Anyway, I hope I'm on the right track again and will finally make it under the 80 next week like I had already hoped this week :/

Good to hear! Happy for you.

I've lost 1.5 of the lbs (leaving me 2 more to go),again for no apparent reason. I didn't change anything.....

HOWEVER, I did wake up yesterday with a massive bladder infection. I wonder if my body has been holding on to fluids while it has been building.

Who knows?

Glad you're losing again too, Sera!

[Sera]

i guess it must be that we're ill.
i had that virus infection and now i have a real bad cold, i hope there are no more of these extreme up and downs coming, i hate it.
tomorrow will show if everything keeps going in the right direction!

[Evermind]

I'm happy to report that today I have finally lost that 3.5 weight gain - plus an additional 1/2 lb.

I didn't change anything, but I've been taking my antibiotics faithfully.

This teaches me that my strategy of just being patient works!

[Sera]

I'm happy to heart things are going good for you again.
I'm still struggeling, gained 300g on Sunday, lost them today...I've had this before (not as much though) and I fought with it for weeks :/
I was really hoping I could present myself as an under-80-kg-girl when I go home to Germany this weekend but it doesn't look like that'll happen

[Sera]

omg, another 500 g gone, I'm almost where I was now
300 g more and I could get under the 80 before the weekend.
keep your fingers crossed for me

I had almost no meat in the last 2 days...just didn't feel like it, so maybe that is a way for me to go.

[Evermind]

Maybe it is.

I eat very, very little meat - maybe 2-3 times a week at most. It's definately doable on Atkins.

[Sera]

before atkins i didnt eat a lot of meat either so it shouldnt be too much of a problem, just have to get through lunch at work.
meat has lots of protein after all, so this could be a problem idd.

[Evermind]

Women only need about 50 g of protein per day. I get most of mine from eggs (A four egg meal has a ton of protein). And fish, though I'm not a big fish eater - maybe once a week. The rest of mine actually comes from veggies - brocolli, for example!
