    I have gained this week, which I expected with changing my medication.... (no more blood pressure meds!). I am not recording it as a gain since I think it is just water weight. Hopefully I'll be loosing again by the end of the month.

    Great job not gaining! You have had a busy few weeks and that's tough to balance out with eating right and exercise!

    Thanks, it was really important for me to get off of the medication. I did it a few years ago but let my weight slip back up to where I needed 2 medications! I came off the first one a few months ago and now the last one! I have a pretty big family history of heart disease and high blood pressure, so I need to be on top. Plus, my daughter had emergency heart surgery a few years ago. She is still on blood pressure meds, but should be off of them soon. I need to show her a good example of being healthy since she will always have a predisposition for high blood pressure now that she has dealt with it at such a young age.

    Oh and of the 6 lbs (yes 6) I gained in ONE week, 3 have come off. Hopefully the other 3 will disappear soon!

    i've been absent because my computer has been busted in one way or another for the last week and a half or so. So first let me say, Becca, that is amazing. Getting off those meds must feel so fantastic! It must be very encouraging to see such kick-*kitten* progress. And Courtney - it looks like you're in your house and things are going to finally settle down for you, which must also be great!
    So - because i haven't had a food diary to be accountable to, this morning's weigh in was a gain. After last weeks terrific drop, i think i slacked too much (i ate ice cream!:blushing: ) and now im paying the price. I'm up .4 of a lb, so it's back on the logging train for me. Have a great week ladies!
    And keep your fingers crossed my computer isn't suddenly struck with some new debilitating ailment.
