So, Saturday's are usually my heaviest days, due to a high-dose medical steroid dose on Fridays and a blood product infusion that causes quite a bit of swelling. It hasn't been uncommon for me to gain 10-14 pounds from Friday morning to Saturday morning. It's been a consistent pattern since I started the infusions last November.

Well, I lost weight from yesterday!! And I had minimal cravings from the steroids :) Yesterday was 303.4 lbs, today's is 301.6!! That's a new low for me, at least for the past 4-5 years or so.

I realize some of this is my first "woosh" from starting a low-carb eating plan since Wednesday. But it's been a 10-lb loss since Wed, I'll take it regardless!

Definitely motivating!

    Always nice when the scale drops suddenly.

    Congrats on the new weight.

    I couldn't weigh myself daily. When I retain water there can be a 10 pound difference sometimes. I couldn't handle the ups and downs daily. Weekly is hard enough for me and once I get settled into a good routine, it will likely become monthly.
