my little progress report end of week 1
Well, one week in, I am down 3kg (yay). The boo part is that I lost
that 3kg in the first 2 days, and nothing since. So, next week, way less cheese, no diet coke til I've had 3l of water (I saw someone else on here say that and it seemed like a good rule). If I lose nothing by the end of week 2, I'll start tracking everything I put in my mouth. I really want to avoid that if I can because counting becomes an unhealthy thing for me. But the fantastic news is that at the start of the week I had severe eczema, some kind of weirdo flaky skin thing on my forehead and eyelids, and eyes so puffy that I could feel myself blinking, and see my own eyelids from the inside. My eczema is today 5% of what it was last Saturday. I woke up this morning to NON puffy eyes. The flaky skin thing is gone. That alone is success beyond an army of dermatologists' reach. We'll see what week 2 brings. Thanks for all your inspiring posts. Hope |

I've been gaining weight, actually, and don't know what's up with that. The
other benefits outweigh what the scales say, and I'm all with that. My mother, who has Alzheimer's, keeps asking me if I'm on a diet. Something good must be happening. |

You don't necessarily have to change what you are doing. Just give your
body a chance to "catch up" with your weightloss. What you are experiencing is quite common. Try measuring yourself as well as weighing. Sometimes the scales will drop but your body doesn't change. Then the scales will seem "stuck" but your body continues to shrink. -- Tara Mum to Madison 28 March 2004 - my 29th birthday www.dazzled.com/lowcarb - my lowcarb story http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~tjharris/ - pics of Madison New Zealand "Hope" wrote in message ...

Carol Obviously it must be that I am rather seriously allergic/sensitive to something I eat when not LC (last time I lived LC, my skin was great too). It's bizarre though because I have been tested for allergies to all kinds of things by an immunologist and the *only* thing that I tested allergic to was dust mites. So go figure. Hope |

Low-carb can become an elimination diet of sorts. I was put on one of those years ago, by an allergist, and found out that I have a sensitivity to potatoes. Now, I have the same reaction to bread. Horrible, painful bloating. I have no interest in either of those things anymore.
