I’m here for friends that would help me along. I started one month ago today and have lost 13.5 pounds so far. Got really depressed yesterday and binged. I started at 170 and want to get down to 119. At 5 feet tall it’s a good weight for me.

Wow, I have my hands elevated and it still happens. I have tried everything and it doesn’t seem to help. It takes a few hours to get back to normal also. Time to ask the doctor

I’m drinking before and after my walk. I can’t drink during as it causes major cramping. I usually have a banana in the morning with my yogurt a couple of hours before my walk. Funny thing is that this never happened before. I move my hands when I walk but after the first Mile my hands are so swollen I can’t move my…

Thank you everyone. I’m drinking 64ounce of water daily and moving my arms and hands during the walk. Very strange but I will check with my cardiologist

It just started a week ago but I figured I would check here to see if anyone else had the same issue

Here are pictures of my hand

This is the highest calorie count for breakfast that I’ve had, 545

My lunch today. Tuna, tomato’s and pickles

My lunch: tuna in olive oil, green olives and grape tomatoes with a dash of red pepper

Thank you everyone. I appreciate all your help

Unfortunately I did gain the weight in weeks. I gained the weight due to medications for my heart. I gained over 40 pounds in less than 2 months. I’m not looking to lose as fast as I gained I just figured with my calorie reduction and walking it would workout to more

You need to put on your patient pants and get mentally ready to do this for the long haul. You didn't gain the weight in a few weeks and you aren't going to lose it in a few weeks. You're not doing anything wrong. You're losing about 1 lb per week. AWESOME! Keep it up![/quote]

Please don’t get me wrong. I’m not looking to lose a huge amount of weight every week. I’m just looking to lose 2 pounds a week. With losing under a pound this last week and working so hard at it, it seems like I must be doing something wrong.

Ok, I was told by my cardiologist that due to my age and having already gone through the change that this was affecting my weight loss. My doctor is one of the top in the country so I really believed what he was telling me

Also please add me

Hi, I’m new here and only a couple of weeks in. My first week I lost almost 10 pounds of which I know was water weight. I just weighed myself and I only lost .9 pound! I’m sticking to my diet, eating good foods and walking 5 miles a day every morning for excruciating. I didn’t expect to lose another 9 pounds but not even…

If the 1200 calories isn’t going to get me to my 2 pounds a week what should I do? I am also speed walking 5 days a week for 5 miles a day. Should I dip to 1000 calories a day?

I walked 4 miles

I’m pretty new here but would definitely be interested in an accountability buddy. I always was able to maintain a good weight but when I met my now husband and he moved in I started eating fast food and sitting on the couch for the weekend. We’ve been together over 10 years and I’m 50 pounds overweight. I’m uncomfortable…
