Thanks Bear, I really appreciate that. But I got on the scale this morning
and I've gained 2.8lbs now! I know it's not fat cause my calories vs. total
expenditure is fine, it is water retention. At this point in my month and
for the next 2 weeks, it's going to be hard to see much of any losses. Oh,
the joys of being a woman. :(
I had a mini goal of 320 by Easter. Realistically though I don't know if it
will happen.
*sigh*

Amen. I'm in PMS at the moment. I haven't GAINED any, but I KNOW I've lost some
fat because I can just TELL. I'm smaller today, and that's a fact. I'm
squishier all over and my legs and butt feel smaller when I grope them :-) After
almost 9 months on this WOE, I've come to recognize this phenomenon of KNOWING I
lost, feeling squishier in places, and NOT having it show up on the scale for
another few days. In this case, I may have to wait for another week or two
before I see it on the scale, though. [Visualize me crossing arms and settling
in with a confident, slightly challenging stare] I can wait.
