I had a busy, busy weekend! I went for a run at the gym and then ran around shopping and running errands yesterday, and then had a Dr. appointment at 8am this morning, followed by the baby shower brunch I was putting on an hour away from home, and then got in more than an hour and half at the gym this afternoon. The good news from this weekend is that my bloodwork and ultrasound results from the appointment this morning show that I am responding very well to the meds, and we are good to go with the embryo transfer this Friday!
The bad news is that the scale hates what the meds are doing to my body, and my weight is back up again.
I start some additional injections tonight and will continue doing both at least until we find out whether or not things worked, which won't be for ~3 weeks, so I think I can expect continued issues on the scale. Oh well, if I'm able to get pregnant as a result of all of this, I will GLADLY take whatever nuttiness comes my way due to the hormones.
LeslieB: I hope you enjoyed your vacation! Those are always VERY tough from a food perspective. I look forward to seeing you in the February thread!
tavvy: Oh, water weight - I am intimately familiar with it lately!! The good news is that it always comes off eventually.
Hope this weekend was good for making some progress on that front!
RoadtoFifty: AWESOME job! Those are some seriously impressive numbers! I'm so glad you've had such a great month on the weight loss front (you deserve it) - it really helps to inspire for continued commitment and progress! February is going to be great as well for you! Definitely keep us updated on how the tracking works for you - I really feel like it's been such a useful tool for me.
ItsMyTurn: Maybe it should be considered a good thing that your scale died on it's own - because I might have had to murder it for you if it didn't!! Seriously, that thing just would not let you catch a break! Your name IS going in
RED because there's no way that you didn't actually lose that last partial pound of fat over these last few days of the month, and the evil scale isn't around to say otherwise.
And OF COURSE you can participate in February, scale or no scale - it matters not. Heck, I'm going to set up the thread and not even set a goal for myself! (I would be delusional to believe I'm going to see any movement in the right direction I think
) You're one of the people I always look forward to seeing around here, especially because you're so consistent and committed in your effort, and we would all be losing a lot if you weren't participating.
And, not to seem like I'm a crazy person for still having all this stuff around that I'm not using... but I have a second scale I bought but never use (it's been collecting dust for months)... do you want for me to mail it to you? It's an Omiron and is supposed to track muscle mass and body fat and things like that (which is why I bought it, but then I didn't like what it was telling me
), but it functions perfectly well as just a plain old scale, too. If you're interested let me know and I could put it in the mail to you this week, I just need to find the instruction manual for it!
Jester: WOOHOO!!! Congrautulations on meeting your January goal!! I made you
RED below! Great job!!!
ferretgirl: You're so teeny-tiny already, that 2.5 lbs seems like a really great loss! I'm glad you're feeling good about it, because you should be! Way to go!
loose seal: I love the continued encouragement you keep giving.
There is no way I'm making my goal this month, but I'm continuing to fight no matter what!
MsP: You've done a fantastic job this month, and I bet that the feeling of making good choices and being in control this month is even better than reaching your target number on the scale. Serious kudos to you.
