Paleoanth,

Yes, I did neglect to mention the loss of water retention I had. I had about +3 pitting edema in my legs, my face, hands, everything, were puffy with water.

I feel certain a good portion of the weight loss was water to start with. My first week of induction, I went to the restroom about every 20 minutes and woke a lot at night. That passed quickly, and I could see the fat start dropping off. Tom hasn't been around yet, but I too am curious how that will go. I could *easily* gain 5lbs or more in water bloating from it, so we shall see!

I had bought a mixed salad in a bag, but then saw the shredded carrots and balked. Lol. I wasn't sure how to count things I couldn't measure very well.

Thank you for the encouragement.
