Starting Over - Again!

I just got home from a cruise (where I didn't gain weight) and I am now trying a new method to drop some weight. I find it very hard to lose weight due to the fact that I retain fluid because I have lymphedema. If you have lymphedema and have a plan that works I'd love to hear about it. I dropped over 20 pounds about 5 years ago, but it took me over 18 months of hard work. My plan now is to start out trying to lose 5 pounds at a time.

    Good luck on your new journey. Remember it's a lifestyle not a diet. Do it for you and your health.

    I got my blood results back from my doctor and my diet has helped a lot. My cholesterol is down, and my kidney function is up. I think I will put off wondering and thinking about dialysis for another time. Just need to drop another 10 pounds and I will be kicking my energy up another level. I'm pretty happy I've stayed with the program.
