thanks for your advice, your suggestions make perfect sense - I appear to have been on TOM for the last 3 weeks since i started (thanks to the depot provera injection) and i have been eating a lot of salted peanuts lately - would they have caused me to hang on to the water?

I find it really difficult to stick to when I am not seeing results after trying so hard, it has taken great will power not to give up again! The thing is, I understand how it works biologically, but cant understand why its not working for me!!!!! I even thought about having a carb blowout to give me a jump start but then worried in case I ruined anythin I might have acheived...................


I am also very bloated around my tummy, which I never get when low carbing but is usual with my old (bad) diet. Sorry to whinge on but need support to keep going at the moment!!!!!!
