I had the same thing at 3.5 months out. My doctor said take more magnesium. It helped. (He also mentioned the dehydration.)

Hi Stacie, I'm doing the same thing. I have noticed that I am only losing weight the week after my period. The other 3 wks, I'm up a pound, down a pound, etc. I have another 42 lbs to go to my personal goal. Fortunately, we are only 6 mos into this and we still have another year to continue to lose. I have no doubt that either of us will be able to. We just have to stay positive!!! Michelle 270/172/130

CONGRATS You're doing great! Best wishes for continued loss and better health.

Congratulations, Michelle!!! I'm only 1 pound ahead of you. We are almost a part of the Century Club!!! Won't that be great?? Of course with my luck, it will probably take me 2 wks to lose those two pounds! LOL Michelle -98

Ya'll are definitely not alone in the feelings of getting off track. I have been eating a few things that I know that I shouldn't have. The one thing that I can say is that I still get my water in and I do try to eat my protein first. I still listen to my body and know when I am full. Lastnight, we went out for mexican food. I had chicken fajita and cheese. I didn't eat tortillas but I did have some chips and queso. I have had a couple of cookies here and there. I did real well during the holidays. I have been on a plateau for over 2 weeks but I lost a lb yesterday. Thats when I get discouraged. "Am I gonna lose anymore?" crosses my mind several times. I don't have the fear of gaining it back though. Everyone's feelings are valid. Hang in there..... 280/174 -106 Paula
