W: 320.2 BS: 221
Well FFS....
Weight just keeps climbing. I didn't THINK I was eating badly. Mostly staying under 2k a day in calories, unless I'm cheating myself. I think I'll do just liquids for a few days and try to get a handle on what is happening. Ironic since I will also double the Lasix for a few days.
Yes, the gain is real. I can feel it, especially in breathing. Put new batteries in the scale and zero'ed it every day.
The BS... I am pretty sure is BS. I put on a new CGM and it went to over 200 and never came below it. Never happened before. The last sensor was trash out of the box. Been averaging 50% junk as I open new $enSors. Asked the doc to prescribe the newest model which is said to maybe even possibly actually work... most of the time.
I tried to verify the bloody way, but discovered I'm out of lancets. New box will be delivered tomorrow. Maybe I should just go back to the old fashioned real daily blood test.
Today was to be 'Make Falafel for the first time' day. Yeah, so maybe that can be tomorrow.

I understand exactly where you are coming from when you speak about weight. Those of us who struggle with our weight, often since we were young, know that it is a continual issue.
I did learn one thing, a couple of years ago, when I was trying yet again to lose weight. The only change that I made was to take in the lowest number of calories as possible via liquid. So no more sugary soda pop, black coffee, no milk, etc.
The thing about this was that it took very little effort, just a bit of remembering what I was doing when getting something to drink. Like at some restaurant remembering to not order a real Coke but instead either a diet Coke or just ice water.
I know it sounds simplistic, but over the next 2 months or so, I lost 20 pounds. I went from 240 to 220 with little actual effort, and only a slight time of missing the sugary soda or cream and sugar in my coffee. Now that I no longer drink any sweetened drinks, I find that if I do get a real Coke, it tastes like it really has the teaspoons of sugar in it that nutritionists tell us that it does.
Another thing that I have learned over the course of my life is that those of us who struggle with weight are targets for others to want to tell us just how easy it is to lose weight. Kind of like I am doing right now, but with a greater sense of moral superiority.
They should understand that those of us who are overweight know exactly how to lose weight. Most of us have done so and regained it all back uncountable numbers of times. So I wish you success and share in your struggle. Best of luck and don't stop trying.
I've not been a fan of sweet drinks since I was 12 (?). Each of us doing this battle have our own things that work. For me, with the heart issue, sodium is a really big player. If I intake too much, nothing else matters. Past that issue, for me it just seems the age old way. Eat less, move more. It's those days where I eat nothing and sip black coffee... and the weight rises..... those are heartbreakers.
