I am stuck and have not lost any more weight in over a month. I have a daily weigh in to insure I am not gaining in a horrible way, but up 3 pounds and then down again, basically I feel this is water retention or thyroid issues. I am watching my diet, probably not eating enough, but even with the band at a wide-open size according to my fill office, I still have the PBing way too much. I have an appointment set up for this Saturday to check things out again. I am going to get tightened, which I may regret due to not keeping food down, but also I need to eat slower, more carefully, and this should insure that. The holidays need to be for family and not food and a fill will help this issue. I have high hopes for myself and am basically half way to my goal. Now if I can just get there. I sometimes feel like "The Little Engine That Could"! I do know more exercise would only help and I have not been in a good routine for that lately. My swimming ended with the onset of fall-winter months, so walking needs to be more prominant for me. I don't know if I am the only one to go through this issue, but it is so hard. I want to get all this weight off and feel like I should! Hopefully Saturday will help me and the Lord will direct me through this path!
