Now I can't say a bad thing about Paula.....a true southern lady and cook. But as far as a referee.......she is a fat addict (me too)
She uses more fat in one meal than I do in a week..........But try her sour cream biscuits

Giada DiLaurentis is her name. I can't watch that right now. Paula Deen. Love her....can't watch that either. Rachel....I can take in small doses....can't watch that right now either. Paula is the Lucille Ball of food, is she not? Funny funny!!
It's official! I now have documented proof from the doctor's office that my weight fluctuations over the last couple of months have been due to fluid retention, NOT my excessive eating habits... Okay, maybe not entirely, but it sounds better than "I'm a pig."
Seriously, though, my new ICD is totally cool. It keeps track of CHF symptoms, including fluid retention. Apparently in the month of October it was through the roof. May be why it was so hard to get the scale to inch downward. I seem to be back down to "normal" now, which made sense to me, since the scale this morning showed a 2 lb. loss from Friday. It's nice to have some validation that it's not all me... Well, sort of.
I got a copy of the report that I'm going to try and scan later and post for you all to see. Pretty neat gizmo.

Niki,
The ICD does sound cool! It is great that you have a device that can track the amount of fluid you retain, but even better that you've now got it off again!
I hope you can scan the report. It would be fun to see it.

Help! I need a serious intervention! My brother in law treated us to the Elephant Bar Restaurant(any of you all been there?) and my inlaws are coming Wed -Mon. They bring a TON of doughnuts when they come. I am already in a bigger holding pattern with my weight than O'Hare the day before Thanksgiving. I am going over the edge...help Cooker!!! Deb

DebNow, I'm not going to pretend to understand all of what that report says... but I do know that the big tall peak isn't a good thing. It's the valleys they want me to stay in. I have no idea what caused these spikes, unless they are when I went to visit family and therefore ate out more than I do when I'm home. I think I'm going to try and keep track of what I'm eating and doing every day (plus any symptoms I might be having) so that when I go in next time (Feb.) I can better guess what might have caused any fluctuations.
Oh! And I also found out what was making it so hard to do strenuous exercise. Apparently my max HR was set for 130. So when my HR sped up with exercise, my ICD would step in and bring it back down, causing me to "hit a wall." The doc said that he's had patients pass out when that happens, so he reprogrammed it so that my top rate is 150 (or something like that). I'm hoping to discover that I can now do more with my exercise (like swimming!) without "hitting a wall" like I did before. Maybe we'll see a big drop in my weight now!

I think you need to RUN......LOL..................you can't do that so do the best you can. We are entering the season of dietary hazards and it will be hard for all of us. I don't think total denial is the answer during the season so just try and be mindful and maybe you won't get to tummy full
Anyway.....a holding pattern is better than a crash...............good luck

Fear not! Superbob will save the day. Just hand him those bags of doughnuts (and if you have any scones, those also) and he will
take care of them for you!
