Repost: Losing Weight

[Guest guest]

I dropped pounds fast after about a month of vegetarianism. A then,

BAM I seemed to gain it all back, but it was fluid, not weight. I am

going to the doctor to find out why my legs/ knees etc are so

swollen. I don't eat salt and have been eating alot of raw veggies

and fruits. I am in a weight management class and I had fluid in the

knees prior to the class since age 18. THe young teacher had us walk

from 5 laps the first time to 11 laps the second time and I did it

and continued to walk-you know grocery shopping etc. So, then

Saturday my body was so swollen I couldn't do anything. Even now I am

swollen up in pain. I feel like I am doing my part but failing. I am

eating right, with no junk foods only good stuff like trail mix,

fresh fruit, fruit smoothies made with soy milk and eating dried

berries. It almost feels like I will never lose anything, even though

I saw my body drop several lbs-not sure if it was more than 5 lb's

but I couldn't fit into my clothes anymore, to now fitting perfectly

back into them. What foods could I eat to help me lose fluids. I'm

sure the doctor will prescribe more fluid pills, but what can I do

naturally? I'm tired of being heavy and from eating right, I want to

see some progress.
