United Statesso remember when i swore the plateau in my weight loss was from water? i wasn't lying. minus the water retention, i am 185. that's 9 pounds in 3 weeks, and i've eaten some really horrible things in the last 7 days (i.e. hot dogs, deep dish pizza, chicken fried steak and mexican food.) if i had stayed on my normal eating schedule i would probably be at 12 pounds by now. i'll sacrifice three pounds for being on vacation.
