Hi Everyone
I’m back from vacation! And of course I didn’t stick to any diet. So when I weighed myself on Monday 6/1, I was surprised and pleased that I was up to 127lbs from about 124lbs. Not too bad given my indulgence.
I promptly put myself back on The Fat Flush Plan and by Wednesday morning I was back down to 125lbs. I know what you’re thinking, “It’s just water weight”, because that’s what I’m thinking too, but sure feels good to see that number on the scale.
It’s an interesting thing though. I look fatter now at 125lbs than I did about 2 weeks ago at 125lbs. I have a theory about this. Every time I lose weight, as soon as I lose it, I look pretty good. But when I stay at that weight for a few weeks, I morph back into my old shape. My theory is that it has to do with your body’s setpoint. When you first lose weight, you’re body isn’t used to it, so it takes on its new and improved shape. When you stay at that weight for a while, your body resets itself into a smaller version of your old shape. Yes, you look better overall, but if you don’t keep at the diet and exercise, your body gets comfortable with the new weight and starts resorting to your old shape. So anyway, that’s my theory – don’t know if its right or wrong, it’s just what I observe about myself and my husband. (He’s trying to lose some weight. He’s lost about 20lbs so far and has remarked about the same phenomenon.)
On a separate note, I just want to say for the record that I’m not in anyway affiliated with The Fat Flush Plan – I just keep writing about it because it’s working for me.
In any case, that’s its for now. Next post is this weekend.
Thanks for reading!

Hi Regina
Yes, they’re Amazon links, so if someone buys a book through this site, I make about 50 cents to help offset the cost of hosting this site. (And no one has bought anything-yet!) What I meant is that I don’t know the authors of The Fat Flush Plan, so I’m not getting any kickbacks from them.
So, that’s what I meant, but I can see why what I said seemed misleading.
