I did all the same things this week that I did last week as far as exercising and watching my calories etc but it's that time of the month and so I gained water weight. Two pounds! I'm back to where I started.

Corkey's right. Don't stress. This is a marathon not a sprint.

You'll have one great week, one eh week, one great week, one eh week....et cetera.

The important thing is that you are doing something to get healthier. If you feel as if you are getting to a plateau, shake things up. The body becomes very accustomed to movement if done repeatedly.

Oh and watch your sugar intake. It's in everything from ketchup to soda to spaghetti sauce, et cetera.
