Ok I went to the surgeons office today for my regular check up and hopped on the scale. I'm down 8 pounds for the month. All this time, I'm beating myself about my weight not moving and this is the reason. I'm so relieved!

I told the doc I live in a old traditional brick bungalow and he said maybe your floors aren't leveled. PROBABLY SO!

So my advice to the new bandsters! Make sure your scale is accurate and your house is leveled. Lol

@LJ, yes I am measuring all my meals, I carry a 64 oz jug of Water with me at all times and I walk 1 hr 3 nights per week. I am unfortunately under tremendous stress and I cant sleep most nights. I haven't seen my surgeon in 6 wks and I need to meet with nut. I bought a fancy scale thats weighs bmi, water weight etc. but it didn't work, it kept saying I was 5'7. Lol! Well I made a double appt for nut and surgeon for next thursday! I pay my surgeon to help me with my weight soo I have to face him! Wish me luck!

Hey PK, the new posted pic looks great : ) I have found there are 3 pillars to Health:

food Plan

Exercise

Sleep

It really sounds like you have the food side nailed down pretty well and as you said the Sleep pillar is a challenge due to Stress (which in turn complicates the Cortisol problem) and you are logging some time on exercise. I am confident that tweaking your exercise will get you over this current weight/scale issue and as a Bonus help the Sleep (Stress) problem.

I am glad to make recommendations of manageable tweaks to your exercise you can start with right away if you are interested - just let me know.

It's happening for you... new life ; )

Hope in your Future is Power in Your Present!
