Cjmomma you are 45 min. from Paducah!!!!! If I had been a quilter when I was in Louisville I would have been there in a heartbeat. Have you ever been to the quilt show or museum? Would love to go but not in the budget or the calendar. You've got to go to Hancocks so we can live vicariously through you! What am I doing today? Trying to get back on the eating program wagon, cleaning house and washing the dogs... Got to get done so I can go in my sewing room. That's my reward :-).

Are ready????????/ Are you all sitting down????????// I usually weigh in on Sunday however I decided to do it today. I had gained while Jim was home and this week I really buckled down. Last Sunday I was above me suicide weight of 185 weighing 187 today I am...........181. I lost 6 lbs this week. The only thing is before the holidays I was 180 so it's not really a loss but I will take it anyway. I am back to having to lose 31 more lbs.

I have fluid build up today. My scale said I gained 10 pounds last night - will drink lots of water today and see what tomorrow brings.
We have 9 days left in the month-let's give it a big shove!
Just for today...
I will stay on my program.

I have issues with fluid retention too. It is awful. I take Lasix but I do hate that too cause I am peeing all freaking day. Oh well. We do what we have to do, no?

I have been trying since the first week of January on cutting calories. I have been posting on myfitnesspal.com what I eat. It has been helpful. It told me I should keep my calorie intake at 1200 and would chastise me if I ate fewer. I really struggled to keep it under that amount. Thus I would lose 2 pounds and gain it right back.
Finally I remembered that back in 1976 after having my last baby, my doctor helped me lose over 40 pounds. I saw him once a month and we would pretty much just talk about my behaviors. It helped. But also he put me on 1000 calories.
I decided to lower my calorie intake to 1000 and be strong about it. In three days I have lost 4 pounds. Yeah! I am eating well, just not junk. I feel good. I just have to remember to have small meals throughout the day of veggies or crackers. I have also found, for my sweet tooth, that I can eat those little animal crackers. They are low in calories and two or three are usually enough. If that does not suffice, I put just a dab of Nutella on them. Yum. Good but not bad.
Best of all I do not feel deprived and I feel good and I am losing.

I am very excited for you! even jumping up and down.
I am so discouraged about my overnight gain. I just started More new medications, I'm guessing one of them is not agreeing with my body.
I'll have to research which one causes fluid retention.
Ya'll keep working hard, it is so satisfying to see the scale go down!

On one if I lose enough weight, I might be able to go off of. Hopefully.
