Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / March 2008Weight loss was a fluke!
I seem to have gained back 5 of those 8 pounds I lost. The only thing I can figure is that it is to do with "that" time of the month. At least I am still down 3 pounds from what I was so it's not a bad thing. Julie Bove wrote in message ... >I seem to have gained back 5 of those 8 pounds I lost.

Don't despair Julie, 3 pounds is 3 pounds, and women tend fluctuate a lot with water weight at times. Cheri > Julie Bove wrote in message ... >>I seem to have gained back 5 of those 8 pounds I lost.

I had to keep looking and looking at the scale when I lost the 8 pounds. I suppose another consideration is the gastroparesis. I suppose there is no telling how much food my stomach might retain when it is not working properly. >> Julie Bove wrote in message ... >>>I seem to have gained back 5 of those 8 pounds I lost.

When I weigh myself, I always do it at one time of the day; first thing in the morning, after visiting the bathroom, and before doing anything else. I am always dressed the same way (not saying, on the grounds that it's too much information). Currently, I vary between 191 and 195 lb., and that range is going slowly downward (a week ago it was between 193 and 196, which is fine by me. My target is 175 or so, but I am in no hurry to get there. Having started at 237 last August, I figure I am in much better shape now, and can afford to work on fine-tuning my calorie intake and increasing my exercise.

Larry, I only weigh in on Fridays. It's not all going to fall off overnight. Standing on a scale everyday is just futile, imho. You're headed in the right direction. Good luck reducing! I started reducing at 247lbs in May 2007 after gout attacked me. Then diabetes attacked me in November 2007 (I didn't have a clue). Eat as natural as you can and skip the saturated fats in favor of the mono- unsaturated kind when you can. Best, Andy 6'3" 198 lbs.

For me, a daily visit to the scale keeps my weight level. If i were to weigh in only once a week, I might easily put on several pounds. The daily check, even with the water variations that exist, works , like reading this group, to keep me on the straight and narrow. Same thing with testing. although I no longer have to tet as I used to, I still check 1-1 1/2 housspp or I am sure I would start having just a bit here and a bit there adn soon the bgs would be rising. We each have to know ourselves adn find what works to keep us homest.

It's of no concern to me that some folks think it's futile, or (as some folks have told me) counterproductive. It's not as if I panic and starve myself if the scale shows a few pounds increase. Seeing the daily numbers just makes me feel good, and if anything, reduces my stress by reassuring me. I could step on it once per week, but I have no reason to limit my weighings; no reason at all.

From years of yo-yo dieting, I know I'm not going to lose pounds overnight. Aside: I DO test BG and BP religiously! Thanks to weight loss, this morning's BP was 110/70 without medication. I'm able to skip my Diovan (or half it) about every other day recently. Best, Andy SignatureT2 HBP Gout :) >> Julie Bove wrote in message ... >>>I seem to have gained back 5 of those 8 pounds I lost.

Julie, I never have any idea about my stomach relative to the gastroparesis, and its affect on my weight or bg. I am in a *feeling better* mode right now, so this would probably be a good time to do an indepth bg check-up on myself, then see my endo preferably before my next hospitalization. It is just *so* hard to do whenever *down*. How are you doing otherwise?
