    As always good writing. I'm proud of you for sticking with it, but you've really got to break the habit of daily weigh ins. I'd cry if I did that to myself every day!

    Thanks for that reminder...I seem to need it daily.

    Scott!

    I bet you gained muscle. I assume your working out.

    I started new blood pressure medicine a month ago and it's has my body reeling.

    I lose three pounds Monday
    Gain 2 lbs Tuesday
    Lose .6 lbs on Wednesday
    Stable on Thursday
    Lose 1 lb on Friday
    Saturday I kick up the exercise and gain a 1 lb
    Sunday Stable
    Monday lose .4 lb
    Tuesday finally drop below 170 and lose a full lb.

    Who knows maybe I'll gain it back tomorrow. Blood Pressure Meds I hope to be a thing of the past soon!

    The idea is the general direction is down.


    Stay the corse. so you don't end up a corpse! Dude!

    LOL!

    You are funny.... and yes, sodium is a huge contributor to daily fluctuations of weight.

    Remedy: Drink lots of water to flush your system....

    Great job realizing it and being committed to staying the course!:happy:

    Loved your conversation with yourself. You are not alone in this type of discussion. I do agree with you on the soup mix being the culprit. I have noticed that if I use a packaged mix or proccessed food item to round out dinner the scale is not kind. It is the sodium and all the stuff you can't pronounce on the list of ingrediants.

    LOL--nice attitude to have! It's not easy staying positive when things don't go our way, but knowing you can fix it and keep moving in the right direction is the right mindset to be in! Congrats . . . to both of you :laugh:

    Sometimes it only takes one little (sodium packed) thing to pack that water and everything else that went with it into your system. What is surprising is that when you work that sodium out of your system by eating exactly right and so on.... suddenly you look at the scale and it wasn't just the sodium weight or water weight you dropped. You were about to drop a little when you told your body to hold everything in sight with that sodium rich whateveritwas. French onion soup is a wonderful evil. That little devil has toasted alot of weeks for alot of people.

    "I love reading your posts."

    And I LOVE writing them for people like you who enjoy them, appreciate them, and hopefully, feel more motivated and energized to see this battle through because of them. And besides, I know that I will have days when I need to be motivated. Who else to listen to than myself from my Super Warrior MFP days. So in a sense, my messages are my trail of (low fat seasoned panko) bread crumbs to help me find my way back to the path if I lose my way (weigh?) in the forest of earthly edible delights.

    Scott in Houston, Tx.

    I was talking to Scott, not you, 3rd person! Wait, I'm guessing the therapist is you, Mr. 3rd Person...
