Hi all...

I'm having a very depressing week! Even though I'm following my plan fairly strictly, I'm not losing and in fact, I've gained. I'm hoping that someone can take a look at what I'm doing and give me some feedback.

I went back to work on Monday, and this is what my days have looked like:
Monday:
Breakfast: 2 egg mcmuffins without the mcmuffin
Lunch: green salad with ranch & about 3/4 cup of chicken salad
Dinner: 3 grilled chicken thighs/salad with ranch
I managed to drink about 48 ounces of water that day; maybe a little more.

Tuesday:
Breakfast: 2 sausage mcmuffins without the mcmuffin
Lunch: small chef salad with 2 slices of cheese and 2 slices of turkey and ranch
Dinner: About 1.5 cups of chicken salad
Today, I drank about 80 ounces of water.

Wednesday:
Breakfast: 1 sausage mcmuffin without the mcmuffin (bought two, but had a meeting and didn't get to the other one)
Lunch: same as Tuesday
Snack: On the way home, I ate the leftover turkey from my salad and a monterrey jack cheese stick.
Dinner: I'm not sure what we're going to have yet.
I've already drank 60 ounces as of 5 p.m. Will probably drink 3 -4 more glasses before bed.

I'm pleased with the amount of water I'm managing to drink, but I'm wondering if part of my problem is that I'm retaining water now. I'm also wondering if I'm eating enough food. I'm not usually hungry between meals, but sometimes am.

I'm still turning the little stick pink, and my pants are still comfortably loose. I guess I just want to know what's going on.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know! I'm starting to get very discouraged.

Thanks...

TTFN!!
