Weigh in and the day after
Well I finally went for my weigh in yesterday, as I thought I was up
2.6kg 5 3/4 lbs :-( this in just 6 weeks. SO I am back to journaling and weaning myself off the points down to a weigh loss level. Todays goal 23 points so far 22.5. Not bad for 3 meals and 2 snacks. ( B: Muesli with peach banana and skim milk, Sn: peach and a milky coffee, L: polenta with grated cheese and salad w o dressing milky coffee, Sn: low fat milk rice, D: stir fry w pasta chicken and veg) My goal is reduce by one point a day until I have my 18 points which I used to have during the weight loss period.(European system) Got to get used to lower points slowly but will stop if weight loss is too quick. My Pedeometer was showing 11000 steps before I accidently hit the reset button still 2 hours before bed too. Not to sure how many activity points I think with 11000+ steps I will give myself 1 point. It feels good to be back on track. I think I will save my 1.5 point towards the weekend. Now the plan for tomorrow is 22 points.

Weigh in and the day after
My doctor doesn't really want me to lose weight at the moment but to
maintain, alot of the weight is probably water from the medication, but the 60kg mark is my psychological barrier. I will lose 1 to 2 lbs to get below and then back to maintaining. I had built up a conciderable clothing allowance but I won't really be trying for that now.

Michelle : Ozzie in Switzerland 69.8/61.4/61kg I dunno, I would go with the doctor's suggestions, if I were in your position. Losing 9 kg (13% of body weight) after a surgery like this is a big deal, especially since weight loss and thyroid function are related, so a doctor may know something that you don't. Maybe ask him why he thinks you should not lose weight. See if he has anything worthwhile to say. Perhaps he would agree to suggest to postpone your weight loss by a few months, to see if there is any new disease, and to proceed with it if there is no new disease? Imisread your numbers, sorry, you only want to lose 2.5 kg. Still, I would go with a doctor. i To those who might pop up here saying that "ignoranus is dispensing medical advice", this is not medical advice, but common sense based advice. This was a suggestion to follow a doctor's advice after a complex medical situation. This is not a run of the mill dieter situation. One has to tread carefully. i who knows someone who lost 57 lbs without even trying On 5 Aug 2004 17:52:50 GMT, Ignoramus17820 wrote: Michelle, sorry for your weight gain, but it is also a good sign wrt your recent medical history.

No we don't have the flex point program here. Our points are a little
different, we get lower points but can earn activity points ( max of 12 a week) but there are alot of fruit and most veg that have 0 points, so no problems on the amount allowed to eat, you just have to make sensible choices :-) For example breakfast today 30 g muesli w fruit no sugar 2 points 10g bran with prunes 0.5 points 120 ml skim milk 1 point, grated apple 0 points. One very filling breakfast for just 3.5 points. Michelle : Ozzie in Switzerland 69.8/61.4/61kg On Thu, 5 Aug 2004 15:32:13 -0400, "Beverly" wrote: snip Do you have the Flex Point program in Europe?

That really wasn't so bad of a weight gain in my eyes -- but you are very smart to
catch it now. Looks like you are doing terrific on exercise too. I am pulling for you, Michelle! Mary "Michelle Guy" wrote in message ...

Thanks Mary. This week has been much better choice wise. I am seeing a
drop on my scale so I am looking forward to my next weigh in. No real exercise just walking, I am not allowed back in the weight room yet, and can't do any serious cardio either. So gentle walking it is for now.
