Thanks Clybella for your reply I made sure that I drank my water as for TOM I,m 53 and I haven't had that Tom of month for a couple of years and don't miss it lol. In the past when I don't see the scales move I get discouraged and start eating carbs and I would gain the weight I lost and then some. However this time I'm really trying to keep myself focused. What has helped me is the support from everyone. Thanks Tina
