The good news is, I made it through Thanksgiving with a weight loss, according to my doctor's chart. (I've now lost 6.5 pounds since Saturday night's weigh-in, which obviously was almost all fluid.)
The bad news is, these pounds have been lost before, so no new territory yet. But I do feel like I'm getting on a roll, and that's a good feeling.
I saw a how-to-lose-weight thing on a friend's Facebook page. It's written by a guy blogger, so there's some bad words and whatnot, but I think it has some good reminders for us banded folk. Take a look.
