Its a physical impossibility

i put on 0.5lbs last week!!!!

I know that's not a huge amount and if I'd been out for a meal or eaten alittle something i shouldn't have 0.5 lbs would have been a success - BUT I DIDN'T. I've been sticking to my food packs 500 calories a day plus regular exercise - it can't be possible to put weight on.....can it? It's not an irregular blip either, I weigh myself every morning and usually i see a very slow but steady drop in the scales as the week progresses - last week they just didn't budge - not until that Monday morning when they went up - and stayed up for my ofiicial weigh in on Monday evening.

My counsellor gave me some advice - I had been a bit constipated but not significantly - but she explained that can be a sign of the metabolic rate slowing down. She suggested that I needed to up my physical training as I've been concentrating on swimming - so I went to a Spin class on weds - I used to go before I started the diet but with the calorie reduction I thought it would be a bit much for me. I'm pleased to say I found the class relatively easy - certainly easier than when I was 5 stone heavier - so I'm going to go more often now. I've also upped my intake of Green tea which I'm told also helps boost your metabolism. I'll try anything - I'm desparate.

Anyway so far this week the scales have dropped slightly, about a 1lb, but that includes the 0.5 lbs I put on last week so it's not great. I've got 3 days til weigh in - I really need at least another 1lb or I will get really depressed. 

Keep your fingers crossed for me
