I am the mid process of week 3 and have stalled badly, I eat no cheese or bacon keep my carbs under 20 grams a day drink 80 oz of water a day, exercise for 45 minutes and still i gain weight.
But the most frustrating thing is this: my mother in law is doing it with me and she is cheating (eating chocolate, having gum, regular sugar) no exercise, not evening drinking water and she has lost 12 pounds!! And ot top it off she is twice my age!!! What gives?
DH thinks it's water retention but I can't take anything for it can I? I am utterly discouraged and would hope someone who has gone through a similar situation could be of some consolation. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
