Some say not to weigh yourself every day because it can discourage you and lead to set backs, others say to do it so you can hold yourself accountable... IDK... do what works for you... Fluctuations ARE normal :hug:

My scale says I'm up to 160 now, something I'm NOT HAPPY about, but I don't think I look like I'm at 160. My feet and legs are swollen- either because I've been on my feet too much, and/or I'm taking too much Advil with the Lithium and not drinking enough water. I'm not going to the BR either, so that may be part of it. Hopefully if I correct those things, the weight will come off. If not, I may go back on to the South Beach Diet so I can get back to a weight that I'm more comfortable with.

I am so depressed and scared that I can't control myself about my eating. I just want to eat carbohydrates. I haven't been this fat in years. I started ordering lean cuisine from jet.com they have a good selection and for the most part their prices are great. I won't weight myself anymore until I can control myself.
I am thinking of eating more chicken.

I ate at mcdonalds for lunch as planned.
It was over 750 calories, well the oatmeal had 300 alone.
hot plate dinner came out good.

Hubby has prepped for tonights cook out for friends.
BBQ Pork kebobs and separate veggie kebobs, store bought but he created a marinade and he has been basting them every hour or so. Lots of garlic smells wonderful. Store bought pasta salad, he sliced strawberries and added raspberries and blue berries.
Yummy!
Our guest come over at 6:30.
These are newish friends of ours.
They have either given us food or have had one of us over for dinner. I felt we needed to have them over.
I think she is making a blue berry cheese cake...It will be very hard to resist since I am on a diet!

I'm still loosing weight. I was going out today, and my belt wasn't working correctly. I had to make two holes in belt so that my pants would not slip down. I didn't expect that. I had to get a hole punching tool, and made two holes in the leather.

I have two, or three belts in my closet. In the last half of a year, I've been on a high blood pressure medication. I wonder if that's what's helping me to loose weight.

My doctor said that my blood test indicates that I need a kidney check up. I have an appointment to see a kidney specialist in October. I might be sick. I don't know. BF:hug::hug::hug:

have you been checked for diabetes?

I'm glad you slept well on your new bed and lost 2lbs. I'm so happy to hear that you woke up feeling "blessed," because that's a rare thing :)

Congratulations on your 2 lbs as well, Bobby :)

You have been working hard and doing a lot of good things that have probably been the main reason for you weight loss, BF. Maybe the BP med is helping too though, IDK.
I really hope that everything turns out okay with your kidney work-up. Your doctor must not feel it is urgent if you aren't going to see a specialist until October :hug::hug::hug:

Since I stopped taking the Advil and started drinking more water, the swelling in my legs and feet has gone down, and I've lost 3 lbs... in a day. I should not have been taking so much with the lithium. They are both salts, so I was really retaining water. It's Tylenol from now on I guess.

I agree with Kay, they would have you be seen sooner if it was any thing urgent.
I am happy for your weight loss.
((((hugs)))))
