Yeah the scales finally moved again...

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh...The scales finally moved!  I am down 2 lbs. this morning!  I am so happy.  Persistance and label reading and measuring helped!  I was also told by my counselor that being stressed and sick can make you gain weight or not loss weight too...I had never thought it could but I guess it has something to do with the way your body processes the food when you are under stress and well I am under a bit with having children with behavorial problems and me being sick all the time.  Not sure if you read my post to Cheryl but now I have a sinus infection and its painful...I had a repeat x-ray that showed it was the same as a month ago when I had pneumonia...  This they said could be that its been treated but not cleared up in x-ray yet...Or that it could be damage to my lungs from the blood clot...So I have an appt. in Bangor with Penobscot Respiratory to see what he wants to do as far as tests and such...Anyway thats my news...I finally made the darn scale move!  I see that you are all doing well...Keep up the good work!  And remember dont fall backwards if the scale doesn't move, give it time and it will!  Hugs and Honks...Angela

ngela!! You are soooooooooo right, and I am sooooooo glad the scales moved to reaffirm all the hard work you have been doing.  And it has been HARD for you.  You ae so brave and strong to see this through.  Pat yourself on the back for me and give yourself a huge hug, too. Hope things clear up soon so that you can enjoy this journey a little more!!
Love and honks to you,

I'm so happy for you Angela, those were hard earned 2 lbs.  Keep up the great work and good luck with all your lung and sinus problems.  Hugs, Cheryl

I am so happy for you Angela   glad it started moving again.   

measuring is a big key  to portion sizes and  eating till we are  just full and not  one bite too much.

You are doing wonderful.   sure hope these  sicknesses go away.

Angela, I'm so glad to hear the scales moved. It's not easy being sick and trying to work the weight loss thing.
Hope you're feeling well soon.

YaY!!!!! Scales moving - although it should be only a tool.....it makes us feel sooo much better when it does.....at least in a downward movement. 

I'm right there with you with the sinus infection - got one myself - and it's hanging tough. I'm glad you have the appointment to get this checked, with all the complications it's best to be sure.

Congrats on the weight loss and I had a sinus infection last week and have you ever heard of a  nedi pot?  My mother inlaw bought one for my kid cause he always had sinus issues... well I mixed warm water with some sea salt and poured it up my nose and I did that for 2 weeks and it was gone... plus i didnt have the sore throat that comes after the sinus infection from dripping down ur throat...

 

But keep on pluggin with the weight and u will get there...

**Congratulations** on the "scales moving" 

Hope you're feeling better...Soon !!
