That could be water weight! I can vary 5 pounds during the course of a day depending on what I have or have not consumed!!

My Mom has a scale that weighs her in oz and she weighs everyday, and writes it on her calendar. Anyway, some days she's like "I gained 0.4 lb and I can't figure it out" My answer? "well that's the difference of a good poop" - yes I'm a classy broad...

Down 0lbs. today. I was down 2 but had a carb (beer and chips) weekend. I needed it- it was my first night out with the girls in a loooooooong time. So next week should be a big loss.

RULE #1 avoid carrots! LOL

Avoid Carrots? please let me know why?

I'd love to know also!

LOL
"Don't eat carrots" was said tongue in cheek in response to kw01ai :

I am biting the carrot. Share. You have me hanging.

The farm carrots down the road are delish. I’m avoiding carrots only when I restrict calories for a few weeks at a time. Otherwise uncooked farm carrots are a staple for all of us – dog included! We love them. Carrots provide all vitamin A needed for one day. They help keep skin smooth and fight off infections. They have lots of potassium to slow bone density loss & good for blood pressure. Carrots are super veg.

During my low calorie weeks, I’m choosing veg that I can eat in larger volume to satisfy my emotional need for a full plate! Carrots have more calories (from sugars) than many other veg.

for example... one serving of carrots (or corn!)
= 5 servings of cucumber, green onions or leaf lettuce
= 2 ½ servings of asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, green snap beans, iceberg lettuce, radishes or summer squash

REMINDING EVERYONE I'm following a fairly controversial (but WORKS FOR ME!) diet.

I'm down -10.8 Lbs

[Frugal Momma]

Phew, good to know about those carrots, i love them and eat them everyday.
I do have to briefly cook them because in their completely raw form i can't digest them and they hurt my tummy. The naturopath said to cook slightly to help reduce the alkalinity of many veggies for me. It works, I can eat my favorites (which are few) all day long.

Please share, I'm good with controversial stuff. lol, any help for me. I'm mostly focused on eliminating white carbs, etc.
My mom has dropped 10lbs., these past few weeks! Yay Mom!

interesting... if it works for you, and is safe then go for it. I don't think i could eliminate all sugar, but I do try and limit wheat/bad carbs.
Just out of curiosity, you don't have to say...how much do you weight/height? I am just wondering as a 400lb person (not saying you are that) losing 10lb in a week wouldn't be bad if they drastically changed their eating/exercise, but a 100lb person (not saying you are that either) it might be more "controversial"...
