    Re: Beginning Today

    Same thing happened to me on the height. I have always been 5'7 but they said I was 5'5. I think they wanted to raise my BMI. Lol. Didn't matter since I was a self pay.

    What you are feeling is natural. Check out how your clothes are fitting not how much weight you lost. Your body just had a shock. Give it time to heal. Walk as much as you can and sip that water...

    Re: Thigh cramps?

    I have to agree about the hydration. I get them as well from time to time. I eat banana's and drink more water and that seems to help.
