Fourteen pounds in one week. These big numbers always freak me out a bit, but whenever I bring it up to my doctor, she smiles and nods and tells me that's the way it should be. Between being VERY overweight and the Januvia, these numbers happen.
The first week of getting back on the wagon is always tough. I only got to the gym once. Quite a few times I felt like I just couldn't wake up and get going. Low calories, low carbs and no caffeine … it's no wonder, but it's amazing when you are going through it.
On Friday I had a bit of a gout flare up - my big toes and feet were hurting. However, the meds calmed it back down. I was impressed. I don't mind a little flare here and there, walking is the important thing.
I'm looking forward to this progress continuing. The fridge is full of good foods. I want to get to the gym more often this week. 399 here I come!

Great Start! Glad you are back for a great 2011.
Hey! If your doc isn't worried, there's no reason to overthink it. It sounds like you've got a great doc! You're keeping your nose to the grindstone and pushing through. Keep up the good work! you can do this!
