Wed, Nov 16, 2011: Gained three quarters of a pound, so I am now 9.75 pounds away from my ultimate goal. I still have less than 10 pounds to lose, my goal to achieve by Thanksgiving so that's good. Perhaps it was the Indian food from Saturday that caused the gain, or it could be that yesterday was the last of 5 protein and vegetable days. The fiber in the vegetables can retain fluid which shows up as a weight gain. Today, I start back on all protein for 5 days, so hopefully I will lose this weight before Thanksgiving next week.
