Well, doesn't that mean that your measurements changed - at least on your calves?

I don't know what measurements you are tracking but if the boots fit now but didn't before, something clearly changed :-)

Unfortunately, the measurements haven't changed... the boots are new, what I meant was that I have never been able to buy a pair off the shelf and zip em up to the top... normally there is an inch or two left unzipped and a pair of trousers or jeans covering it!!

My boots that are currently in my wardrobe still don't fit up...boooo hooooo... but I have a new pair now...YEY!! =]

I have to say, the pneumonia likely put a major hitch in your weight loss get-along, and your body may still be recovering, even though as far as you and your doc are concerned it's behind you. Pneumonia is extremely serious, and the body needs every ounce of energy to fight it, even in the presence of antibiotics. So all bets are off as far as weight loss is concerned - the body can't afford to allow weight loss when it's fighting a big infection. Combine that with a naturally-occurring stall, and you have a crazy-making several weeks. Keep doing all the right things - and make sure you're getting AT LEAST 64 oz of Water a day, which helps break down glucogen - focus your mind on other things for now, and the weight loss will start back up again.

Hey Muffinsmom,

I never thought of it like that... you're right, as far as I am concerned the pneumonia is long gone and I am back to normal... the Dr did warn me that it could be 'a 6 mth project'... so yea, that is probably why things have gone a bit pear shaped... I am doing the right things... but yea, my pure Water intake has gone down, but I do drink plenty of tea and de caf coffee (skimmed milk and a tiny amount of sugar... I've been doing this all along)!

Will focus on my water and take it easy!!

Thanks x
