Anyhow, the "problem" is whether to postpone (not cancel) my physical with a NEW doc. Maybe just til Feb early March instead of next week to rid myself of the bloat and extra lbs. I'm still within a healthy BMI, no health issues, just been delaying a doc visit (been about 5 years) for myself due to eldercare responsibilities for both parents and an in-law. Just would rather start fresh and feeling as "healthy" as I can. Dumb? Makes sense?
A lot of it is probably food and water weight. You should lose some of it soon.0 -
I gained 18 lb from December 23 to January 2. I've lost nearly 6 lb of by January 5. I'm easily amused.1

Nope, does not make sense to postpone the doctor's visit, especially since you are within a healthy BMI. Get thee to the doctor's1 -

Yeah, I gained 9 lbs. I'm back "in the saddle" again and I'll be weighing tomorrow to determine if I've lost anything.

I technically went up 7, but there is no way I ate that much over maintenance over two weeks, especially considering I was sightseeing with my family and we were regularly walking 20k steps a day. Very ready for the water weight to come off, though. This post helped me take a deep breath!0
