First clinic visit and weigh in

Today was the first weigh in since starting the program. I am down 11.9 pounds since the 6th. I know a lot of it is water weight, but still was very gratifying to see the numbers change so rapidly!

I did fairly well this first week, even with the temptations of all the food at the hospital all week. I didn't get much exercise, other than walking from end of the ER to the other all day!

Not being able to carry any liquids past the security point at the airport is making it tougher- as you cannot always plan for delayed flights, etc. I drank an extra Optifast before clearing security, and then my flight was delayed nearly an hour-- so I really should have waited a bit longer before having that serving, so it would have sustained me longer. As it was, I was really, really hungry by the time I landed and retrieved my baggage. Good thing I had some Opti right on top-- and it was fairly cold!

Back atcha, Siobahn. Thanks for the tip on the hand-knits washing stuff.

Yes, it's a cumbersome way to connect, but it works!

Good luck on the weight loss program. I found that once I started to notice a difference, it got easier to stay with the program.
