The good news, I guess, is that I just hit 419. I wanted to be more excited about this - getting beyond 425 has been a big psychological barrier for me.
However, losing 14 pounds in one week seems unhealthy.
It's possible that it's all fluid. I have indeed spent another week with my feet up because my left ankle is killing me. But, that's a lot of weight. If it is just fluid, it's likely to come back. So this number, while an incredible thing, is likely to be a short term victory. Or, if I have lost a lot of muscle mass from doing nothing for weeks on end, it could be the beginning of a whole other set of problems.
I'm going to try to see the doctor sometime this week. Maybe we can sort this out. Why must my body fight me so?

Believe me.. I know exactly what you're going through..
in regards to the fluid.. yes it might be a big part of that weight loss number.. but it's still a loss and even though it might come back on again, you will lose it again and more.. .you know, one step forward, two steps back type thing.. frustrating as all hell, but we just have to put our head down and keep doing what we know is right... in spite of everything our bodies is throwing at us...
Continue to rest, put your legs up to help with the fluid retention, drink plenty of water and track... everything else is out of your control.. but control well what you can..
