glassnquilts-- are you still drinking the 8 cups a day? do remember that muscle is heavier than fat, but takes up less space, and is lots healthier! most likely it is fluid retention!
lynne-- i 'm sorry. i didn't mean to be insensitive. i know you've been under the broiler all summer, and enough is enough. my husband has lost all his insulation so the house is now kept warm for his comfort, and i am in a bad mood from constantly being overheated. my only relief is to hit a store or mall and i have even less self-control there than in the refrigerator. grrrr.. i think, too, i just want to go home.
