Really struggling at the moment guys and gals and could do with a pep talk.
I am on LL and it is my last foundation class next Tuesday. The problem is that my weight loss seems to be slowing to a crawl. I started off great guns at the beginning - had a few weeks of being a bit naughty picking here and there and got that under control a couple of weeks ago. Since then i seem to be retaining water and hardly losing any weight at all.
I need the number on the scales to keep moving steadily to keep me motivated for the long haul I have ahead. I am just over halfway so even being optimistic and hoping for above average weight losses I have another 100 days to go after foundation finishes on July 25th.
I guess what I am asking is - does anyone know how I can help the water retention? I am upping my water daily to try and flush it through but this doesn't seem to work as my rings are still digging in where they were sliding off a few weeks ago. All the herbal remedies I have looked at have sugar coated tablets which I obviously can't take. Has this happened to anyone else?
It is TOTM at the moment so I wonder if the build up to that may have been the problem - but I would have thought the retained water would be reducing now.
I am a grumpy chicken this morning aren't I ?
Sorry to be such a whinge
