May/June Weight Loss Challenge

[Possegal]

Thanks, Possegal. You know, I was on a really strong antibiotic up until a week ago. Augmentin or something like that. Is that an antibiotic?

Augmentin is an antibiotic, and though some antibiotics are known to cause sun sensitivity, augmentin isn't really a drug that is known for it. But that said, there can always be instances where a person has a reaction to a drug that isn't a common one. Your reaction didn't sound to me like just 'I got some sun'. I wouldn't rule out the possibility.

Thanks, Possegal. It could easily have been something else. My face is somewhat better, but I still have a lot of little red bumps on my chest and neck, and a few on my forehead and on my right cheekbone that hurt to touch. My face is still red and it feels warm -- it looks like I got sunburned, and I did, last Saturday. I just keep splashing cold water on. I'm still puffy, too.

Too much salt, I guess. I need to get back on my clean diet as soon as possible.

The scale has a mind of its own... 114 on Thursday, 116 on Friday, 118 yesterday and 117 today. So...I guess I'll take the 116 and see how things sort out by next Friday! That goal of 112 seems very far away right now...

You could also be allergic to one of the meds you've taken. Medication allergies often show up as rashes (ask me how I know this...). If you're still on any meds, I'd call your doc just to ask and report your symptoms. Otherwise, it should clear up soon.

I'm late.. whoops!
180.5 - absolutely ZERO loss this last fortnight. Grr....

[ultraviolet]

I was out of town again for most of last week. And found this morning that my scale has been possessed...OK, so really I think it just needs a battery replacement. I didn't get around to fixing that situation today, so I'll just have to join back in next week. With any luck, my schedule will settle down soon. *fingers crossed*

150 - Wrong Way Good news, I'm riding stronger than I have in a long time. Now to just quit eating everything in sight.

[ultraviolet]

Never got around to fixing the scale. Maybe I'll be able to take care of that today. But between the nice weather and the amount of work I have to do, that doesn't seem realistic. *sigh*

129 Down .6!

Shocked. I ate so much last weekend, and barely exercised or tracked my calories this week.

[goldfinch]

131. This was my first chance to weigh myself since the beginning of May. Down 5.5 pounds for the month of May. Averaged 1164 calories per day for the month. My metabolism is too efficient.

[jennyrc]

165 today...up a bit but I think I'm still doing okay. I ate like crap this weekend, but I have been exercising more than normal so I'm going to call the extra half pound muscle Hopefully this is actually the case and I can start going down again next week...

115.8

Could be worse, but not going back down...
