I just wish I could figure out what causes it so I could make it STOP.
1800 cals yesterday. Incredible. I am up 1lb today, but I THINK it's water weight because I'm really feeling the retention in my legs (and didn't pee well this morning).

Hey Michelle
Girl, I am feeling the SAME way today. Cals have been a bit higher than planned over the past few days (I reached 1800 on Tuesday!), and I feel just awful this morning. Swelling and fluid retention in my stomach, thighs and calves, along with just a tired achy feeling all over (but especially in my legs). I just chugged a bunch of water though, and it perked me up a bit. Must be related to fluid imbalance/hormones/whothehellk nows, etc. I widh I knew exactly what causes this too so it would stop! It's frustrating...
Anyway, great job on upping those cals! Your body is just loving you right now (keep repeating this to yourself
)
