    Weightloss Checkin Group: Weighin For 11/22/18

    I'll start this for Karen. She was likely busy yesterday, for Thanksgiving. I'll let her add her comments and affirmations when she is ready to post.

    Still waiting on a dx. It's looking less likely that what's going on is a UTI. But, lab lost my sample, my PCP is out of the office this week, and even with pulling strings in his busy schedule, they can't get me in to see him until November 30.

    I guess I'll post weight anyways. It's still doing weird, fluctuating things.

    Recent weights:
    07/12/18: 136.2 lbs

    11/08/18: 125.2 lbs
    11/22/18: 125.6 lbs

          I lost 2.8 pounds . Of course I weighed in before I started on my Thanksgiving meals , so I hope that I can gain a little this week.

          11/15 117.2
          11/22 114.4

          I have to say that the loss is is due to thyroids being overactive again - and yes I am taking the meds prescribed for that. But the doctor DID cut the amount that I was taking in half the last visit that I had with her (2 weeks ago). I will call her next week about increasing the dosage again.

          As usual, dinner with the in-laws (on Thursday) was a healthy version of Thanksgiving fare, but my family dinner (Friday) was the fattening version. I made sure to load up on both .

          ShrinkKaren - Sorry to hear about the gain . Hopefully you can reverse the trend quickly.

          Mamabug - Sorry to hear that you are still sick with no sure path yet to treating it . And sorry that your weight is acting haywire on you. At least it is showing at less than half a pound gain, so maybe not as bad as you fear. Hope that you feel better soon .

          Daisycat - Welcome to the group . Your post suggested a great plan for losing unwanted weight, so keep up the good fight.

          Agate - I hope that your scales are back on the downward trend .

          Hoping that everybody had a great Thanksgiving .

            I am at 113.2 but I always gain something during my wonderful time of the month when I want to rip my uterus out... So hopefully next week will be better. I feel like I am hitting a plateau and the usual stuff isn't working.

              Karen is away

              Karen is in the hospital overnight due to feeling very weak today. She will likely be home tomorrow or Friday at the latest. Not a serious issue, just feeling very weak.

                Karen still out

                Karen is doing well, but is in a facility doing some rehabilitation related to ms. She will be there for a couple of weeks.

                    I didn't notice this until today. Sorry to hear Karen is in the hospital. I'm glad it doesn't seem to be serious.
