Thanks. My DH laughs at me calling it weight training because I am just doing 5 lb hand weights but the Nut seemed to think it could make a difference. And I certainly can feel it.

It does make a difference. You have to start somewhere and soon, you will be up to a higher weight. I love feeling some muscle under my skin and feeling stronger, but alas, it still won't be enough to take care of all the loose skin. It is helping and the skin would be worse without the weight training.

Using your own body weight for lunges, pushups, squats, planks, etc., are also effective fir building some muscle.

That's a great report, Price. How were your labs?

On the fish oil. Take a look at Coromega or Barlean's Omega Swirl. Regular fish oil gel caps..not too sure you'd absorb the oil.

Both the PCP and the Nut were very happy with them. B12 was very high and they said I could drop back to 1 instead of 2 a day (500mg each). Protein and cal were good. They do ferritin, not iron and it was great even with no iron suppliments (very post menapausal). I'll see if I can copy them from the spreadsheet and post later today.
What's the difference in the fish oil you listed and plain gel caps?

The Coromega and Barleans are both emulsions rather than straight oil. Better for malabsorbers according to Vitalady and her grads.

Yeah but you have been dealing with all that gall bladder stuff. You'll get there and in the end, know one will know the difference.

Congratulations on a fantastic check up! My 9-month is in 2 weeks and I'm doing my labs tomorrow. THree months after you and i still have 12 pounds I'd like to see go away.

Personally, the Coromega's made me vomit, I couldn't stand them and I tried everything, so good luck...

I prefer to call it "shrinking into" and then "shrinking out of" my clothes, cuz you aren't growing :P

Great job and best wishes on your continued success
