good news (long)

I went to my weigh****chers meeting on Friday and I had lost 19.6 pounds in one week. I am sure most of it was water because Monday my doc put me on fluid pills for my legs and took me off insulin. She said my kidneys were working over time and this was from the insulin. I am sticking to my weigh****chers counting my points and all in all feel pretty happy with this program which has made many changes in 30 years. I found I can eat anything I want just got to count my points. There are two plans one you count the other you dont. I also bought a pedometer from WW and DH helped me set my stride. Yesterday I did over 4000 steps which was 2 miles. I have to work this weekend but monday I will see what the treadmill says. I must admit I am feeling so much better with out the insulin injections I feel like a whole new person. I am taking a higher dose of metformin. I can get in and out of my car better now and clean all the right parts in the shower again. Went fishing and boating this week with DH he was on vacation and even planted some plants around our goldfish pound. One thing that happend while fishing was I was talking on my cell and lost a fishing pole it fell into the lake. Cant fish and chat on cell at the same time LOL Annie

Annie I am so happy for you!!!! It sounds like you have found something that will work for you. To get you to whatever point you need to be. So you have a goldfish pond too hun?? I have one set up in the front part of my house. I just found my lighthouse that was out in the garage. I am going to paint it and put it by my pond after I put my light fixture in it. Sorry to hear you lost your fishing pole. Please keep me posted on how your doing. I am so happy for you. Take Care Melissa P.S. Beware of phone calls while fishing

Annie, This is great news. Those swollen legs are the worst...so glad you've found some relief!!! Hugs, Lori
