Gradual 30-35lbs

Varicose Vein Procedure
Hi all, Not sure exactly where to post this so I chose here! Has anyone had any procedures done to get rid of their varicose veins?

Weigh More Next Day
Im sure this has been answered somewhere before... Is it normal to weigh a few pounds more the next day after a good workout? Im new to MFP and this happened once before to me earlier in the week. Two days later the weight came off. Last night I burned a good amount of calories and stepped on this morning to a 1-2lb gain.…
