performance: losing 0.7 lb a week

I'm a 40 year old mother of 11 yo daughter and 8 yo son. I am a bookkeeper and office manager so I sit in front of a computer all day and the TV all night. I am morbidly obese and I don't like it! And I will become healthy for me. WATCH ME SOAR! I need to find and KEEP my motivation to move and eat right! Because I deserve it!

I welcome all new friends. We're worth fighting for!

Swollen ankles???
Tamaralynn, I swear by the diabetic socks. Its constant pressure really helps me. They are knee high so not appropriate for all fashion. I found my at Rite Aid. Black and white pairs. I agree with all your solutions but this helps until the swelling subsides. I don't sleep in them though.

Swollen ankles???
Yes I get this. The main reasons tend to be sodium intake, lack of water, and hormones.
I see from your food log that most days you are over 3000 and somethimes up to 5000mg in sodium. "They" recommend not going over 2500.
Water flushes the sodium and fat from your system. Drink Drink Drink.
I swell right before my period. Always have, but now seems to settle in my ankles more that before.
Don't discount riocaz's comment. If you haven't been tested for diabetes lately, get tested. Better safe than sorry. I've been tested often (mostly because my Dr. can't believe I'm this weight and NOT diabetic). I wear diabetic socks on the bad days. It eases my discomfort.

Question: Can alcohol stall your weight loss?
Which is funny, because I'm holding a beer in my picture (Taken 2010).

Question: Can alcohol stall your weight loss?
My love of beer is partly why I'm here. I'm now in a low-carb lifestyle and ironically, now find that any beer (even those nasty low carb ones) will stall my loss for the day and leave me bloated and gassy the next day. However, vodka and whiskey don't affect me at all. I think for most people, as long as you factor in the calories to your daily RDI and watch your sugary mixers you should be good. However, some people may be hypersensitive to it. If someone is in a stall, cutting out the alcohol to see the effect would be smart.
