First week, Just saying Hello :-)

[lynda horswell]

I am in my final year of nurse training, I know I am on the mature side (I will be 43 when I qualify) but it is something I have wanted to do since I was little, but life and 4 kids got in the way! I must stay focussed when writing the assignments though and remember to eat!

This week although I have stuck to plan I do feel quite bloated so not feeling hopeful for Thursday weigh in - but I will see how it goes and keep my fingers crossed for a loss xx[
QUOTE=green eyed monster;7811639]Thats some great losses Lynda,

What kind of assignments are you writing? I remember how taxing they can be , but just remember to keep some nice free foods to hand and keep hydrated.[/QUOTE]

Hi Lynda, welcome and good luck!

 

[lynda horswell]

Hi, and thank you for wishing me luck.

I am feeling confused though, I have stuck to plan all week but feel really bloated, the only difference I have made this week is to up my intake of water, I got on my scales today and it shows a 4 pound gain! I do hope my scales are wrong and I get a loss at weigh in tomorrow :-(

Apologies if this is a bit tmi lol but are you going regularly? That happens to me sometimes and I have to take senna to get things going

was gonna ask what Clair did but she asked it so much better than I could have

 

[Mick1892]

black coffee works well

I'm used to asking questions like that myself being a student nurse lol, and yes I am going regularly - I just don't understand where I am going wrong. My consultant said not to worry too much and see what the scales say at weigh in as weight can fluctuate so I will see what happens tomorrow xx

If you're already drinking lots of water or can't be water retention.

Are you coming up to star week?

Were you eating a lot of fruit and veg before you started the plan? If not the increase can cause bloating while your body gets used to it

 

[lynda horswell]

I have only just started increasing my water intake this week, and I am 10 days away from star week, so I am not sure if that would be the cause or not?

 

[flashharry]

10 days away it's probably not star week then.

And if you're drinking more water your body should be retaining less.

I'm struggling to think of what else it could be

 

[lynda horswell]

Thanks anyway, I have wrote everything down so maybe I am doing something wrong or maybe my scales are wrong - I will find out tomorrow

Thank you all though

 

[lynda horswell]

Well, I have been to weigh in and luckily I had not put on any weight but I had not lost any either.

I am not going to let this get me down though and hopefully the losses will show next week. I am going to start walking this week so hopefully that will help xx
