As many of you know I just got back from a three day vacation a few days ago. I've felt that something was different and really didn't want to get my hopes dashed by stepping on the scale. However, I bit the bullet and got the surprise of my life.
During our vacation, we walked a lot. Climbed a lot of steps 630 I believe was the number I heard for the tower, but we also ate quite well in many of the different restaurants available to us.
So I just stepped on the scale and you remember that on the women's retreat I had gained 6 pounds and some of it attributed to the medication I was on? Well, I'm now down 13.2 pounds from the gain I made. This makes a total weight loss of 22 pounds.
I'm one happy camper.

@just4him ......Yes, I can't use the cane and it's a wheel chair for me due to the shoulder. I can't see me with a walker either.

@celticeagle There have been times when I wish I had a walker, but now I'm glad the cane is once again history.

That is wonderful news. Losing weight is never easy, but hard work makes it possible. I am trying my best as well to lose weight. I need to buy me a scale though. I found one I like. I will try and get it this week. Then I can monitor my weight better. Again, congrats on losing that much weight.

@crazyhorseladycx True, but right now I'd rather be kind to my joints than to my eyes. I can enjoy the scenery when I need to go anywhere.
Sounds like you're going to have a giggle over that photo for a very long time.
