Hi,
I'm new here, I think I'm the only new member in this team for February!
My name is Sarah and I live in the UK. I've recently been diagnosed with MS and having a life long illness has helped me to prioritise what I want from life. Being in a normal BMI is supposed to improve outcome of MS and so I'm very focused on achieving this goal, 1lb at a time.
I have lost 14lb since January 1st this year but have 47lb left to lose.
Welcome Sarah! Wow you have done amazing, already losing 14 lbs! Good luck with your journey to a healthier self.1 -

Weigh In Day: Saturday
PW (Previous Weight): 157.3 pounds
(gained 1.9 pounds last week after losing the previous 4 weeks)
CW (Current Weight): 153.4 pounds
(shocked to be down so much in 1 week)
Lost 3.9 pounds since last Saturday.
Down 16.7 pounds from my highest weigh in 2016.
Last week I was bummed as I had worked to maintain my loss of 2.8 pounds from the previous 4 weeks but instead I gained 1.9 pounds. I knew some of the gain was choices I had made and some of the gain was my body and health conditions and possibly a new medication.
This week I was incredibly surprised by the huge loss as it is not normal for me to drop 3.9 pounds in just 1 week.
I was actually even down 4.1 pounds (153.1 pounds) when I weighed in first thing when I got up but I felt that was unrealistic and didn't really believe it so I took my thyroid pill and got back into bed and when I got up for good and weighed myself again I was 153.4 pounds so 0.3 pounds more than the first time I weighed myself but still down way more than I expected or thought was normal for me.
I attribute the bigger than usual loss to a number of factors like my body righting itself from the gain last week, getting rid of some water weight/retention, going off a 3 week trial medication for a new health problem that affected my thyroid medication which changed my usual thyroid levels on my blood work, exercising every day except my rest day, eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking 8 cups of water most days, and eating less (partly due to possible stomach acid/hiatus hernia/ulcer and partly due to trying to make better eating choices).
I am well aware that I will likely gain some of it back next week but I am going to work to maintain the loss as best as I can for next Saturday.1 -
