apples and water

I know that I have read a few blogs on here where people have comented that the weight has stopped comming off and they are at a stand still or they have a few more pounds to go and they just won't go. I have suggested to each one that I have read a remedy that a weight loss patient told me about 10 years ago. She said that you should buy a bag of apples and for dinner that night you repace dinner with the apples. You eat the apples and drink water until you are stuffed and then go to bed. So actually the apples and water are dinner, dessert and midnight snack. You aren't allowed to have anything else. The next morning, you should see a difference in the scale and this should kick start your weight loss. Well, I am depressed and not up for eating and I have a bag of apples in the fridge. So I went and I got them along with a gallon of water and here I am in the bed, on the computer, blogging, eating apples and drinking water when all of a sudden the bathroom was SCREAMING my name. My goodness, I understand now why the scale goes down, the fiber in the apples really does its job and whatever the fiber doesn't send packing, the water does. Check in on me tomorrow. I promise to post my weight by the afternoon. If it works for me, maybe you can try it. But from what I remember, I did loose about 3 pounds overnight.
