Highest weight 155 I believe. I got discouraged and while I didn’t give up. I haven’t really been sticking to it.
So I’m back! Since there’s not much left of May I’ll be happy to see 147!
May 1 150.1
May 14 149.1
May 15 149
May 16 147.8
May 17 148
May 18 149.9 now that’s the wrong direction!
thank you for the kind words about my sister. It was over a decade ago. But still messes with me. It was such a shock!It was rainy and cold yesterday. So I spent the day in bed writing letters (I’m a Penpaller) and watching Dr Oddessy. Wow it’s bad. Perfect binge show!
And I ate a whole bag of nerds gummies. Hence the uptick. But you know what? It was a good relaxing day. So I’m not mad about it.

5/19- 164.6Yesterday was kind of a weird day.I spent some time with my folks and then got my shopping done, came home and was mostly unproductive. Got some of my meals prepped for the week but pretty unmotivated to do much else. I was so body sore and I still am. In fact I didn't sleep well last night because I could not get comfortable . I am very tired today. The intensity of my muscle soreness does make me wonder if I have Fibromyalgia or CFS . I have been tested in the past and some of my markers do indicate increased levels of the specific labs they would see for those (can't remember what they were now) but I have never done the follow up testing to confirm. I have always scoffed at the Fibrodiagnosis as a junk diagnosis ,but the muscle pain I sometimes experience does seem excessive at times. I will get some time stretching today and deciding if I give myself another rest day from the weights or atleast do some walking.

I get to go home Thursday instead of Friday 🎉
Got in about a mile a day Sun/Mon walking the halls (BORING), sleep is inconsistent but will get better. We bought a used elliptical from a friend recently and hubby set it up for me. I found an online user manual so looking forward to trying it out this weekend. I will go easy, I know my body has to rest and recover.

Happy for you @tishsmith101 and wishing you a smooth recovery at home.
Yesterday I attempted a light jog and it went well. Just 10 min. I had tried jogging many many times in my life but I had intense joint inflammation from undiagnosed wheat allergy. My joints no longer hurt so light jogging is now possible.1 -

@MercyRoth Congrats on getting back into jogging. Sometimes when I walk on the treaded I think I should start jogging. I used to do a walk mixed in with short bouts of jogging. I should really try it again.4 -

Does anyone on here have experience with Lipedema? I strongly suspect I have it. There are not a lot of options for treating it, just managing symptoms.

5.21-164.6@MercyRoth - I was just recently reading about someone who had been weightlifting and was still struggling with Lipadema. I just know its a chronic condition and as you said becomes more of a management thing. Dry brushing and lymphatic massage are two things people mentioned as helping. I also have heard that the GLP medication actually show some help because one of the things these medications do is reduce systemic inflammation. I know myself I tend to hold the majority of weight in my lower body , thighs, hips and was always afraid of developing this disease. Being on GLP has helped reduce alot of that, combined with the weight training. I am sorry your dealing with this.

Going home today 🎉
They serve really carb heavy meals here and they keep saying eat all you like but the past couple days I started to cut back. Something the other night didn't agree with me and I had heartburn all day yesterday. Treatment went very well and I feel great. Repeating this process in June and July. Thanks for all the good wishes, it really means a lot ❤️
I'll weigh in at home Sat after walking and expelling all these carbs!

tishsmith101 So glad you get to go home! It's disappointing the food wasn't the best option for you. I get heartburn easily too, and without options, controlling that is so challenging.

May 22: 159I’ve been eating big breakfasts, and lighter lunches and dinners. I think I’ve found the key to keeping the munchies at bay. I didn’t snack last night and today I’m not hungry. I’ve also decided to focus more on whole food plant based eating. I will still eat meat etc but just make more vegetarian and vegan meals. I made a vegetarian shepherd’s pie today. I’ll have that for dinner.
This way of eating is a bit of an experiment. I do cook with beans and lentils etc but not nearly enough. I asked my dietician what she thinks of it and it turns out she follows a WFPB diet herself. She thinks it is a good plan and recommends it.I feel like I have a plan now. Something had to change as I’ve been at my current weight for months now. Clearly what I was doing was not working. Hoping to have some success with this.

136. I seem to be less hungry. Or possibly unintentionally moving a bit more? I’m not keeping any track of calories and I don’t have a Fitbit or anything. The vegan diet is a lot more whole food and I’ve stopped eating things like protein bars. So maybe I’m not absorbing as many calories because of all the extra fibre? Anyway I am feeling better so all good.

- May 8: 192.6 - Leveling out. I lifted today for the first time in ages. Gonna see a bump in the scale tomorrow most likely.
- May 9: 191.6 - Just about back to where I started the month.
- May 10: 192.4 - 3 cheese penne chicken pasta for dinner - high carb & salt. Within calories.
- May 11: 192.2
- May 12: 193.0 - Happy Mother's Day bump up
- May 13: 191.4 - Nothing like a good spin class to bring you back
- May 14: 191.2 - Back to May 1st weight. Still not back to April 30th weight of 190.6. Baby steps.
- May 15: 191.0
- May 16: 189.8
- May 17-19: Won’t be able to weigh next 3 days due to travel.
- May 20: I chose not to weigh today. Sodium intake was off the charts yesterday and I'm definitely retaining water (rings don't fit). I will weigh tomorrow and hope my long weekend doesn't ruin the month's progress. Some weight loss is better than no weight loss.
- May 21: 191.0 - Up from the low, but consistent from last week. Considering the festive weekend and the random nature of my hormones right now, I'll take it.
- May 22: DNW - running late today and just didn't do it.
- May 23: DNW - Had Chinese for dinner last night and it ALWAYS bumps the weight up for a day. Wasn't mentally up for that today.

Gaining and losing the same two lbs since April 6. I started exercising more so it could be muscle replacing a bit of fat loss. Maybe. But I’ve been calorie counting for nearly a week now with no improvement. Grrr.

@HappyDonkey75 wow thank you, I did not know that Glp-1 meds have a role in reducing inflammation. I’ve now read some great articles on that. So the meds could be helping to slow the progression of lipedema.
