Big Time Plateau
I think I may have to try something else....I have been using "fatsecret" for a couple months now quite faithfully, but..........lately I have not been entering all my calories and I know that I am going over my count Crying or Very sad

I think the big kicker was when I went for my doctor appt a week or so ago and I had not lost any weight at all. I had actually GAINED a pound!!!!

I have always had a hard time - plateau big time. SOOO - I am going to have to try something else.

The herballife challange sounds good but I am a person who has to "chew" something - I can't go long on just a 'liquid' diet.

Maybe adding more walking/treadmill will help. At least I did loose the initial 35 pounds.....

DOCTOR VISIT
I visited with my doctor yesterday for a follow up appt for my recent bloodwork.

I have not lost any weight in 5 weeks!!! In fact I have gained a pound!!! I am not very happy....

I have to remember that my body has been through a lot in the past 6 months or so since the gallbladder surgery that was complicated by pancreatitis.

My doctor explained yesterday that the pancratitis had made me very sick and that it had affected many things - one being my kidneys. My kidneys are fine, good blood flow etc but my blood pressure had to be more tightly monitored so that my albumin/creatinine levels will get more normalized.

SOOOOO, I am now taking another medication for blood pressure in the hopes that the levels will get better - next blood work appt on 8/29/12.

Hopefully by that time I will have lost more weight and will have brought my BP down.
