9 more lbs to my goal
Weigh in today lost .2 lb down to 119 even.
I had four extra bites yesterday. I was very hungry yesterday and the only thing different was I went to decaffeinated coffee. Today I awoke with more energy than any other day since I started the diet. I even feel like exercising today.
Possible reasons for lower number today:
1) that's just how it is going to be from now until I get to my goal because I am within 9 lbs.
2) switching to decaf
3) four extra bites made enough of a difference - seems sort of impossible
4) constipation is weighing me down
5) just a fluctuation and I shouldn't be weighing myself daily
I'll just try to eliminate variables and see if it makes a difference tomorrow.

Re: 9 more lbs to my goal
I like to weigh myself daily b/c it helps me to pinpoint what is going on. The constipation can be a real problem...I have written about it extensively in my journal and that will happen on this diet just b/c you don't have as much waste to expel...but what you do have can weight you down.

Everyday fluxuations??
Day 8 February 26 = 119.5 (increase of .5 lbs.)
:Thanks Snow, I appreciate the feedback. I have read some of your journals and they are very helpful to me. Helps me to understand some of the normal stuff to happen.
I was disappointed this am because I am up .5 lb from yesterday. But, I also know that monthly I can fluctuate up to 2 lbs. It is easy to get excited about the immediate progress this diet shows and get discouraged at this point where you aren't getting the 1lb a day average.
I also had a cup of chicken bouillon soup after dinner last night and the night before. Although a teaspoon is only 5 calories, there is a lot of sodium in it. I think that on top of my monthly cycle has me holding water.
I have to keep the faith. I've been doing 5 bites for lunch and 5 bites for dinner. Usually my one extra bite is in the evening as a desert of some type. I like banana pudding, so I have a bite of that.
What I noticed on this diet is that all food tastes so much better. That first bite of everything is like heaven!!('')
Thanks for the support.

Re: 9 more lbs to my goal
That is so true when you say the first bite of everything tastes like heaven.
Apparently there is a 3 bite rule (like 5 wasn't restrictive enough ) where they say....
When you take the first bite, generally you are fully present (because you’re so excited to bite into that food that you’ve been salivating over) – and when fully present, you are able to taste 100% of the food. When you take a second bite, you are able to taste 50%; third bite is 25% and, yes, exactly – by the time you get to the 4th bite it is pretty much over.
I have been very selective with my bites, and unless the food is particularly yummy I try not to have more than three bites of that particular food. I am eating 10 bites
