Whoa. 430 - wow ...
I used to think that large weight drops were a required and desired part of the dieting process. Now I fear them. I know that the likelihood is that I will go back up. So, I'm trying not to get too happy about this number.
I think the majority of the weight loss over the last two weeks has been in edema. Since I've been laying around with my feet up - my feet and ankles look great! My calves used to be hard, now they are spongy. I think I've lost a lot of fluid.
My ankles and feet are still hurting. But, not nearly as much. I still hate my feet and ankles.
On the real weight loss front, I had a fun discovery. I sat in my car, something I hadn't done for a while, and I noticed something different. My tummy wasn't brushing against the steering wheel. In fact, I could put my hand between the wheel and my tummy without touching. That was impressive to me!
So, we are making some progress. I'm just worried that I won't be able to hold onto this number. We'll see.

I had to force myself to limit weigh ins to once every 30 days so I didn't get too attached to numbers. Then I started studying for my NASM/ACE exams and weigh ins amuse me more than anything.
I've gained almost 2lbs in less than 2 days and I just started working out.
The long and short of it - be proud of your accomplishments but don't get emotionally attached to a number on the scale. The emotional attachment is the dangerous part.
Heath is the goal - numbers are elusive.
