Sunday Weigh In - December 4, 2011
Okay, folks, here we are, with another week behind us and it's time to weigh in. I hope everyone had a good week.
My week wasn't bad; I'm still busy with Auntie, but things are falling into place, and I'm beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel, so I'm hoping things will calm soon.
Weight wise, I didn't do too badly, though not great either. During Aug and Sep, I'd been doing quite well, and had dropped a total of almost 10 pounds, from my high, then held steady for some weeks. Then I started retaining a lot of fluid and over a short period, I put on 7 pounds of water weight. Nearly every day, my ankles were swelling to nearly twice their size; my shoes didn't even fit well.
I went to the doctor on Monday of this week and was given new blood pressure medication, containing a diuretic and it's helped get the swelling in my ankles down, though I'm still dealing with it in my fingers, so I'm down a pound again this week, from last week's 148 to 147.
As for exercise, I've done very well. My "winter neighbor" and I have walked daily, plus I've been busy with a lot of other physical activity, so I'm feeling good about that. I'm planning to get back to my yoga real soon.
Okay, now it's your turn....... How was your week? Let us know, so we can cheer your success or try to help with motivation, whichever is needed.
Wishing everyone a great week.
Remember: we win by losing.

Do you have medical issues that could cause weight gain/inability to lose? If you haven't been tested, you should think about doing so.
I have hypothyroidism and sometimes it's really hard for me to lose weight.
Hang in there and let me how I can help you.......
