Hi all.. This week has been a little different for Dave and I, another day of no loss Monday, followed by 1 lb lost for each of us Tuesday.. We did go last night and buy a digital scale..
I know, crazy that we were using an archaic old scale, and it appears the relic was weighing about 1/2 lb light.... So starting over with new numbers at this morning's weigh in, Dave lost only .2 lbs, and I actually gained 2 lbs :( (a little less than the real numbers, but getting on the right track)
I went out on another research venture, in hopes of finding something that would keep us from getting discouraged, since we are following the diet to the letter, no cheating whatsoever, actually getting under 500 calories most days! I did find a couple of key items to share..
~ A plateau is going 4 to 6 days without losing any weight, and although I hope that does not happen, there are many folks out there who have experienced it, and still lost a significant amount of weight over the entire process.
~ Women, those still having menstrual cycles will likely gain a little during the time of ovulation! The gain is temporary, many women have experienced this, and guess what... I checked my calendar, and I am definitely dropping an egg in and around this time frame :) :)
I will say that even with the no loss and smaller loss days, we both look thinner!!
I did also want to tell everyone that the orange ginger dressing recipe is great! I did equal parts vinegar and fresh squeezed orange juice, I did a little less garlic & ginger than it called for, and added fresh chopped basil. You need less than a Tbsp with your lettuce or spinach for a salad, it's great with chicken, and I will definitely make this dressing after the diet with just a little olive oil added!!
Until next post... Good luck, good eating, and goodbye fat!!
