2e. Re: Darn plantar faciitis/heel spur--any suggestions?

I would love to hear if Tory has any advice... But when I had this I got accupuncture for it and the results were amazing! I couldn't put any weigh. On my heel before the treatments but afterwards I went back to my normal activites. Search your area to see if any MDs or DOs offer the service.

So, I'm asking for suggestions from Tory or anyone about anything
additional I can do to get this heeled.

This is one exercise I really love and will do without being pushed
into it. So any suggestions would be so appreciated.

it is still weight - your body wouldn't have lost the water weight if you weren't doing something right - and yeah, the first few weeks usually do have higher losses than the rest, but so what...it's still a loss - it's still xxx lbs you AREN'T carrying around - be proud of your loss - you go girl!

Thanks, I do understand 9 lbs in one week is just a beginning.....and that it will subside....I have always looked at the first week as God's way of saying "you can do this, here some help" I know that 1-2 lbs a week is the average and I know that plateaus will happen....I just wish her words were more like yours....words that encourage and celebrate... all weight loss, because after allwater or fat...either one is a start to something good. I can see that my "stumbling" across this group was not by accident, it was guided. Thanks again.....I am going to keep on keeping on.....SMiles

I am so sorry that happened. In trying to encourage others, she crushed
those of you just beginning. People always say it is water weight you lose
when you first start losing, but I don't believe that is the case. I mean, I
wasn't eating any less salt or drinking any more water, so why should it be
water weight that I lost? I know I have gained water weight on occasion, but
I feel I am retaining fluid at that time. This is just my opinion.

So don't let the leader's comment dissuade you and Lisa. Keep right on doing
what you are doing. Know that the weight loss will level off, and you
probably will hit those plateaus, but you will lose weight.

Ok I went to my meeting..... I lost 9 lbs and my friend lost 12....the topic

first few weeks when you lost more weight...well that wasn't real weight it
was water weight and we all know that." Lisa and I were crused....I guess
deep down inside we knew it was water weight but we were so excited only to

While it's true you won't lose 9 or 12 pounds each week, the jumping off
week is so helpful to your motivation. My first week I lost 5.2 pounds and
we celebrated and it just put me in a good mental spot to realize that
although this won't happen every week, at least on my way!

I hope your next meeting is more uplifting to you! At least remember the
lovely folks on this group that have been so helpful and supportive. Even
for me, a long time lurker and seldom poster.

Anyway, congrats to you on your loss and for making the decision to change
your lifestyle!

It sounds like you feel like your team leader did you a diservice im
mentioning this but seriously you have to know you won't lose 9 pounds every
week! That would be very unhealthy! I think that's all she was pointing out.

~~~Faye~~~

I know you may have been hurt, but the fact is it IS water weight. But it is
IMPORTANT water weight.
When you are living an unhealthy life; overeating, sedentary, overweight,
you end up going into this inflammation "mode" where your body responds to
all of the abuses you're heaping on it (and by "you" I mean all of us who
have done this, which is pretty much all of us, not YOU specifically) with
acute inflammation. This eventually (along with all of the other metabolic
things going on related to it) damages your cells causing those "lifestyle
related illnesses" we all hear so much about; Type II diabetes, heart
disease, etc. It's a lot more complicated than that, but suffice to say
acute inflammation in the body=Very Bad Thing long term because your body is
continually fighting to fix itself while you continue to damage it.

So when you lose a great deal of weight the first week or two of a diet what
you're seeing is some fat, but you're also seeing "water weight". In truth
it's your body saying "Oh thank you SO much for the relief! I can stop
fighting now!" and the inflammation decreases dramatically. So while it's
frustrating to hear "water weight" it is GOOD water weight! You WANT to do
that! It means your body is going into a repair mode and out of the fighting
mode. It's not just "I ate too much salt on my popcorn" water weight.

I just don't know how to get back on track! :-(
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Faye, I know exactly what you mean....it is SO HARD to get back on track,
even after just a day or two. The same thing happened to me last week. My
daughter was visiting, we went to a wonderful scrapbooking convention, and
then out to eat at Chili's afterwards, and then the next day I had an
opportunity to go out with two of my children and their spouses, so of
course, I went, because I don't get to do that very often. I had 3 'bad'
days, but really 'made' myself get back on track on Sunday. I was convinced
I had gained weight, but was glad that a pound still came off.....but, I'm
still worried it may show up this next week. Oh well....
I keep telling myself that's why we have that extra 35 pts. during the week,
and I do use it from time to time. I only get 20 pts. so I have
to.............lol.

I have to keep reminding myself, it's easier to stay on course and continue
to track my points even if I eat something with too many points.
