As most of us know, estrogen is stored in the female fat cell. When we lose weight, that estrogen is released into our systems -- hence the warnings about birth control vigilence during weight loss! But the other side effect that I've rarely heard about is the moodiness that also comes with this excess estrogen release. It's like constant, low-grade (and somedays, not so low-grade!) PMS. Has anyone else had to deal with this? I can't believe the cranky thoughts that cross my mind! Lucky I'm good at biting my tongue or a few people'd lose their hair from the flames coming out of my mouth!

The good part? 2lbs. gone so far this week

Yours, crankily,

parrotmom,

Never thought about it but I guess that would be a good reason for my being onery a few times. Looking in the mirror always seems to improve my mood though. Funny, though, as you probably know, if I'm in a cranky mood, my birds pick up on it and adopt the same attitude so that helps to curb it! (I give them a few sips of my vanilla shakes - they love it)

Great another 2 lbs gone!!! I'm waiting to weigh on Sunday and KNOW I've lost a few just because I feel lighter. Funny, I feel light as air sometimes when I get up from my chair! What a difference that is from the old groans and shifting around trying to ease my knees.

Medifast is the bees knees!

Interesting, parrotmom! It kinda gives me the creeps because of the bad rep that estrogen has as a cancer-feeder... hope it's passing right out. A good reason to drink that water.
