Are you drinking enough water? My dr told me that I was not eating enough. I am suppose to 6x a day. Eat breakfast, small snack, lunch, small snack, dinner, small snack. You need to eat protein with every meal. It is hard but I have been trying it this week and this morning the scales told me that I lost 2 lbs. I don't know because my scales have been on the fritz. But I do have more energy and less headaches eating 5-6 x a day. Try it and let me know if it works. I have a list of the things you are suppose to eat and how many of each thing you are to eat for the week. If you want it. It is posted in here. Just let me know. Good Luck

It's ok LiveLoveLife!

I think Malisa might be onto something about the water drinking.
Did you know that drinking enough water is absolutely essential to really suceeding
when you're trying to lose weight?

You can do it!!

You will do fine, Baby, just keep on just exactly as you are doing. Eat several times a day and a little protein each time. Exercise some every day and write down your calories so you will know just how much or how little you are eating. Be sure to eat breakfast; it kick-starts your metabolism. Include lots of vitamin rich vegetables and fruits and whole grains.
:cool: You CAN do this!!!

I agree with Susan. Use fiday.com to track your calories, water intake, and exercise. Don't give up!

Hi, Sweetie! Have you been able to shed any more weight? Did your 5 pound loss come back?
:confused: I have been one of the slowest losers, yet when I stay on the plan without giving up, it really DOES show sooner or later!
:cool: DON'T GIVE UP!! Come back and post and let's get this going so we only have to do this ONE more time in this lifetime!
