Thank you, I liked the explanation. Especially for someone, like me, who has a medical condition and has to weigh herself every day.

It's nice to finally have a reason for the 1-2 pound a week weight loss besides the usual "it will stay off". If loosing more can possibly cause harm due to fluid loss then it makes more sense to take weight loss slow.

Remember also that menstruating women can easily gain 4-5 pounds of fluid weight during the week before the menstrual period starts. That fluid (and salt) retention will resolve just as quickly, if not quicker.-----------------------------Steve Parker, M.D., author of "The Advanced Mediterranean Diet"

Weight is not as important as percentage of fat, dont fret the scale. Eat right and exercise, this creates confidence and substantiates your well being. Of course if you are under doctors orders you should follow any recommendations.

I saw these products by a company called It Cosmetics www.itcosmetics.com on the Today Show so I thought I would try them. I TOTALLY look like I’ve lost 15 lbs instantly and I feel like I’m finally able to get that “in-shape” look I’ve been working so hard for in the gym. Just thought I’d share this GREAT find!!! Here are some of the products and pictures from their website:
