update to my previous post about gaining wt instead losing

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. I said that I would keep you posted about how I was doing,

never thinking i'd have anything to say so soon.

I am so excited, and thrilled that I had to post right away, also to

give hope and encouragement to anyone who may be experiencing the

weight gain as I did.

Yesterday I dropped 5 lbs. and today another 4. So, I lost those 8

lbs that I had gained back plus 1.I think this is just great for me!

I was thinking all along that the weight gain was coming because I

started to use more of the Coconut oil, but, now i'm wondering if it

could have been from eating seafood ( the sodium) which I did eat a day

or so before I noticed my weight go up so much. I dont know. Or, maybe,

a combination of different things which ive made some changes in. But,

I am just so glad that I didnt just stop using it as I was going to.

I did make a few changes and will continue to keep things this way,

and thats only because I had you guys here to give me some advice. So,

again I thank you all and I just wanted to share with you my good news

for today and to let you all know that today I will be ordering another

jar of Coconut Oil, from Tropical Traditions. I love it.

Just to think that if I didnt have this group to come to I would have

definitly stopped the Coconut oil and lost out on all those good

benefits. Thanx guys.

hope everyone has a great day.

Hi ,

Great news on your weight loss. Part of the reason I started using VCO was to

lose weight. For about a month nothing happened. Then in February the weight

started to fall off. So far, I am only doing 1 Tbs a day with soem skin

application. It concerned me because it seemed to be too fast. My rate now is

about a pound a week. I agree that initially it is water loss. To me a loss is a

loss. After reading Dr. Fife's books, I have a long term perspective. My

question for Alobar is did you have trouble with loose skin? I have heard of

people losing hundreds of pounds, and then having an operation to take care of

the loose skin. I have to lose more than you did, and the skin issue concerns

me, Thanks for your response.

I have some loose skin. But not a great deal as I lost under 100

pounds. I would not get surgery even if I could afford it. I do not

trust that doctors look at long term consequences. The skin is just

as much a valuable organ as liver or kidneys. I am not sexy looking

at my age for a number of reasons, so why pretend I am a movie star?

The whey is helping me regain some of my muscle mass, so I am hoping

the loose skin will diminish as I put on some muscle.
