  • Lost TEN pounds since Friday - Woohoo!

    I'm psyched! I had a lot of water weight at the end of my pregnancy. And if that wasn't bad enough, I lost a lot of blood during my C-section, so they pumped me up pretty good with that IV. I couldn't see my knees or my ankles. If any of you out there are familiar with edema, you know what pitting is - OMG, I had it horribly. And the pain from the swelling - who knew?!

    Anyway, I know my weight coming off so quickly is water weight left over from the pregnancy, but ask me if I care. The scale moved and my wedding ring almost fits.

    I haven't logged back onto Fitday yet, but I'm a purist - no splenda, no crap, no Franken-whatever; strictly pure foods and so far, so good. I credit the quick weight loss to that and to drinking a ton of water.

    All in all, I feel great. Funny - DH said he was feeling his age (40!! as if!) and felt a little heavy (again, as if - he's 165 and 6'1"), when I told him, "It's all about perspective, baby, because I feel great!"

              Weigh to go
              Keep up the good work!!
              Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
              Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
