I woke up this morning and I feel like my skin is tight w/excess fluid. I feel so swollen. =( Neck pain or not, I'm getting to Costco as soon as they open and I'm getting stuff for a detox bath. I also will be doing a steak day today since I got on the scale and was 242.8 lbs EEEEEEK!!!!! That's 2.2lbs up from yesterday! I've been reading up on steak days since I got up this morning. I guess it can be pretty common in your 1st round to have to do them esp in the 1-2 weeks of maintenence. It's pretty depressing, but on the other hand I know w/o a shaddow of a doubt my gain has nothing to do w/ what I'm eating. I'm eating phase 3 foods to the T.
Please Lord, let tomorrow be a good day!!
ETA: I am sooooooooooo hungry!! It feels like my stomach is going to turn inside out, dang it! It's only 2pm........I still have about 4 hrs to go before dinner and my steak. I went to Costco today and got some stuff for my detox bath. I also bought 2lbs of filet mignon. I thought if I have to eat steak (which I don't really care for red meat anyway) it might as well be the best I can get. I think I'm going to make a garlic/herb compound butter to go on top of it. HURRY UP 6:00!!!
Dinner: two filet mignons and an apple
I DO NOT LIKE BEEF!!!!! It was very tender and the 1st few bites were OK......but I was trying not to gag on the last few bites. UGH! My feet and ankles are so swollen, reminds me of when I was pregnant. =( I read pounds and inches again this afternoon and not only have I been eating too little calories...should be 1500 MINIMUM......but I should be eating lots and lots of protein. I know for a fact I haven't been doing either one of those things. It says that patients who don't follow those two rules will gain lots of water weight. I've read that whole red book like 4 times....and somehow I missed that info. If I'm not better by tomorrow, I'm going to find the nearest bridge and jump off. =)

Boo for steak day!
Okay I'm interested to know how that steak day went. I didn't realize that you could gain water weight by not eating enough protein either. I'm so glad you're doing this before me. I tried your detox bath last night because my weight loss had definitely slowed down and I was feeling fat last night and it worked. I'm down .8 this morning.
Oh also I have heard of people who can't stand beef, or who don't eat red meat as a rule using chicken on their steak days. I'm not sure if it's as effective or not, but it might be worth a try if you have to do one again.
Yeah I will definitely look into a different option than steak if I ever have to do another dreaded steak day.
