WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!! Way to go lady! I am so glad for you. Keep up the great work. FYI, fluid retention can also be caused by not taking in enough water. It is your body's way of trying to preserve itsself and store extra fluids to prevent dehydration.
Glad too you are resting better. Let us know how the PNP appt goes.
Hugs back at ya!

Hi there,

     Welcome to the group. Thanks for posting. It's nice to meet you. The people on this site are amazing. Informative, supportive, and really nice people. 

   Keep posting so we can get to know you and visa-versa. It's wonderful that you are starting your eight loss journey.

   Take care    Mag   

Good Morning,

      I am doing much better on my food but not where I want to be. Had GoLean and a banana for breakfast. Peanuts for a snack, Shake for lunch. And chicken salad made with ff mayo, cottage cheese, and 5 grapes. A few more peanuts before bed. Only had 45 ounces of fluids.
Will work on that today Usually weigh on Sundays, but retaining fluid in my legs.

     Going to see my PNP today. Hopefully I won't have any more med changes, Sleep was good. Not waking up during the night. All in all, I believe I have turned the corner and I'm over my eating binge.

     Hugs    Mag   

Thank you all so much for your responses!  You've given me some great ideas and it feels really great to have your support.  I will definitely talk with my husband about this.  We talk a lot anyhow, but I think yuo've brought up some things that we haven't addressed.  He is trying the best he can right now despite his reservations so I don't think it will be too hard to get him on board for the rest.  He was actually interested in reviewing the material I got at the nutrition seminar this past Friday.  He asked questions and really listened to me.  Also, last night he tried grilling portobella (sp?) mushrooms caps along side our 90/10 hamburgers.  So we tried eating a mushrom instead of beef.  I think it may take some polishing on the cooking technique, but it was nice he was willing not only to cook that option for me, but to try it hmiself as well.  He has type 2 diabetes also, and all of these changes will benefit him too.  I really want to add exercise together to our bonding time as suggested.  A seperate cupboard for him is a great idea, as well as alternate treats like flowers.  Thank you all again for all the great advice! 

Thanks Lynn,

It is awesome you and your husband are taking the weight loss plunge together. Your support is awesome I appreciate your responses. Sometimes we need an outside voice to affirm things.

P.S. I am the worst speller ever so np.
