So, after a few really good days, I was just a pound above goal before I went on vacation for 16 days. I am back and also back to my stall point where I have hovered for months.

Up and down but my waist was the smallest it's been this morning since I started these challenges again. I think I am laying down muscle and taking off fat because I've been very active (swimming, strengthwork). It's down 8 inches since earlier this year even though I haven't actually lost all that much weight...

I don't know what'a wrong with my body that I'm not only stalling but going up. I wonder if I am eating something that's causing a lot of inflammation? I had chicken with coconut two nights this week. I got very strict with myself the past week and I just keep going up, up. I'm wondering if coconut milk is causing inflammation? Or the chicken? I'm all bloated today, too. I've been super strict with the carbs and also fasting more through the day.

Hang in there jschwab. Could it be hormonal?

I lose so slow with my stinkin' diabetes. I enjoy seeing other's success!

Everyone is doing great!

Jschwab. .I can't eat coconut at all. It causes blasting and stabbing stomach pains. Not good.

My weight is the same today. .I'm a few days before my TOM and usually I gain..so I'm not feeling too worried. I've been so so clean but yesterday I ate some roasted yams and sweet potato. With chicken. I can feel the carbs.

Whatever the inflammation was, it all dropped off last night which stank because I was supposed to get up art 4:30am to go sit for deer (I sat 8 hours until the evening, though). I was up all night peeing and I think my body was fighting a UTI. It's still puzzling because it's my second one this year and I haven't had one in years and years and I consider it a high-carb side effect from sugar. I'm still investigating...

Sarah, that stinks, but so long as you keep chugging along. Have you had success getting your blood sugar under control? Are you Type 1 or 2?
