Weight Loss/Maintenance
In reply to the discussion: Dukan Diet/Day 2. Anyone have success with this? [View all]PassingFair
(22,437 posts)I had to weigh myself 3 times before I could believe it.
Over 21 lbs lost!
My pants started sliding off yesterday. I tried wearing three different pairs
and they were all too loose to wear out of the house. I was pretty sure that
I would show a weight loss this morning, but almost 4 lbs! What a pleasant
surprise.
I don't think Dr. Dukan spends enough time in the book detailing the horrors
of water weight and women's menstrual cycles. I'm approaching menopause,
and I had not had a period in three months when that unexpected 2 lb. weight gain struck.
If I had not made the mental commitment to stick with this plan until November, I
might have fallen off the wagon. The weight loss work was apparently still going
on under all of those swollen cells.
When I hit the 25 lb loss mark, I'm going to take a yoga class as a reward.
The swimming and walking tends to tighten up my leg muscles, and I could
use some stretching.
When I hit the 50 lb loss mark, I'm going to tackle my rotten core with
a pilates class.
