missrhonda- melz and I are in P3 (past the critical 2 weeks) so we can do watermelon it's been a delight!

Ok so now I'm EXTREMELY confused and frustrated! I did a high protein day on Sat and Sun gained both days!!!!! On Sun I had gained 2 lbs and this am I gained another 1.6lbs I don't understand!!!!!!!!!

I ate grilled chicken breast- skinless, no seasoning. Steaks- fat trimmed,no seasoning, grilled. Tillapia and Cod- grilled with lemon juice only. Turkey Breast- organic, roasted, no seasonings! I also had some cucumbers, asparagus and celery. No fruit, eggs, cheese, almonds or cream. I checked and rechecked all of my labels looking for sugar or starch. I drank water w/lemon juice or water alone about 90-110 oz each day. oh yeah and I had a couple of glasses of tea.

I feel like I'm being punished and I can't figure out why. My fingers, knees and ankles are all swollen, it hurts to walk sometimes. Why would I retain water like this? Any ideas??

I don't know your age or your health history, but since you aren't using salt and are drinking an appropriate amount... are you still menstrating? is it that TOM? Have you any cardiovascular problems that you are aware of? How is your blood pressure? do you have decent digestion or does it feel sluggish to you? are you on any medications? ~Carey, RN
