I got weighed tonight at my TOPS meeting and IWas only down a pound but at least it was in the right direction. Had a doctor's appt. And he thinks I could have arthritis in my knees. He also changed one of my meds because it is causing my legs to swell. Here I thought they were just fat. LOL! All in all not a great day. But I am under goal for my calories and managed about 3000 steps.

    Don't be disappointed I think you had a very good day. You have been taking care of yourself as 1) you went to the Dr 2) the Dr offered a possible improvement in your care & 3) you lost a pound! Think of the size of a pound of butter on your tummy & you have just successfully thrown it off! :flowerforyou: You are doing great!

    Swelling means fluids so your weight would be higher than usual. Your weight loss is even more impressive.

    Thanks to all of you. I was feeling pretty sorry for myself. I really appreciate the encouragement.
