Could it have been the water?

I've been hanging around the 146-148 range for a long, long time. Last week
I decided to participate in the water challenge as I often forget to drink
enough water. This morning I stepped on the scale and saw 144.5. I checked
the scales a couple more times before leaving the house and it remained a
steady 144.5 readout so I'm claiming it!

I've also been giving the new Core Program from WW a try. This didn't
require much of a change in my WOE as I seemed to be eating most of the
foods on the core list. I just had to make a few minor adjustments such as
using skim milk for coffee instead of non-dairy coffee creamer, plain yogurt
with fresh fruit in place of low-fat flavored yogurt, adding a daily serving
of olive or flax seed oil, etc.

I'm just happy to see the scale going in a downward trend once again and
hope it continues.

Way to go Bev! I'd be willing to bet it was the combination of the
water and all of those little changes you mentioned, but then again
there is no study proving conclusively that drinking water leads to
weight loss...

Well I did make a lot of extra trips to the bathroom last week which
increased my exerciseG

Then we're all drinking the same water... because the scale was down
another two pounds this morning. Like Bevery, I checked it a few times.

Weird. That's 5.5 pounds in 10 days. My normal rate over the summer
was about 1 pound a month. I guess "practicing maintenance" is over!

Wow! I'm drinking more water hoping I can get the same results.
Congratulations.

Congrats to all three of you! I normally am pretty good about drinking
water, although I don't measure it. I'll have to start doing so and
perhaps amp it up a bit. Couldn't hurt... :-)

Thanks. I'm also making slow by steady progress in the droopy overhang
of a stomach. I distinctly remember when it was like two balls of pizza
dough. Now it's more like one... and I can't toss it in the air
anymore. :-)

Heh! I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm also trying to only weigh
myself once per week, as that became my habit over the summer...
