That's seems like such unhealthy power and control behavior... feels really icky just reading it... and I have experienced this before... it's not fun to deal with and when the person is in a position of power... much ickier... Sandi

WTG, WG! The most significant decrease was in your abdomen and that's the one that counts. People with abdominal fat (like me!) are at higher risk for heart disease. Also bear in mind that muscle weighs more than fat. So as you are losing fat, you are gaining muscle and your weight will decrease slowly.

Keep up the good work!

Good job, WG. I too got depressed around the first of the year as we were just starting our journey with this disease. I had shut my family out completely (my husband, son, daughter, and even my grandbaby) My husband also brought it too my attention, I mean all I did was sit at home and cry! I got meds from the dr but they made me feel drugged out all day so I stopped taking and made up my mind to get up and help myself! I started walking first then my son and I joined the local gym. As of today I have lost 55 pounds and 6 sizes in clothing!! I feel great and my son and I are playing on the co-ed softball team for the hospital where I work. Now hubby and son says "you need to stop losing weight" men are never satisfied lol. Keep up the good work, sounds like you are off to a great start!! I feel much better about myself and I'm sure you do too.

keeping you in my prayers,
Shelia
