What a great forum.. really has helped with questions I have had.

I have lost 15 lbs since April 2001, on Protien Power. I have never lost of ounce going the low fat route. I am thrilled, to actually see the scale move. The month of June I haven't moved , but what I read is just keep going.

A question, does anyone else feel this. I find when the weather is hot , I bloat up like a balloon. This happens even when I am keeping the carbs to 20 and drinking at least 100 ounces of water a day. I feel so much better in a cooler climate..... any ideas.

welcome pjm! what a terrific start! 15lbs! don't worry about the scale not moving. your body is getting adjusted to the weightloss. have you taken your measurements? lots of people find that they may not be losing weight, but they're losing inches!

i don't get the hot weather bloat, but i've heard lots of people talking about it! i think i don't get it because i drink a lot of water. i drink about 1.5 gallons a day. that prevents water retention. i don't think that what your feeling is uncommon at all!
