Hi fern. When do you plan to weigh yourself next? That's so exciting that you're only 0.4 lbs from your personal weight goal.

I got on the scale today. I actually lost a pound after maintaining my weight for about a month or so. That is actually pure luck considering that I had been eating a lot of not so low cal stuff. I am sure I maintained because I had a mild mood upswing for about three or more weeks. I lost the pound this week because I was even higher in the upswing, albeit with mixed features, and barely eating the last day and a half. I feel really good and level today, though.

It sure would be nice to lose another four pounds soon. That would mean getting back to lowest weight I've been in recent years. Plus, that would take me to only 10 pounds overweight. If I could really get back on track again, reaching my normal BMI again wouldn't be that big of a feat. It sure would be nice to have a normal BMI before the holidays begin. Hubby and I usually go to Florida over Thanksgiving. I'd love to look really HOT in a bathing suit by then ! Also, I have tons of nice clothes that would fit me again, if I could lose just 10 pounds. It can be done!

My next round of blood tests are in February, I believe. I'm pretty sure I can have normal triglycerides, glucose level, and blood pressure by then...if nothing bad happens. I really want my cholesterol to be much lower. I won't aim for normal, just a lot lower. That can be done!
