I gained a pound this week, not good, but I'm not going to let it get me down...... I am proud of the fact that I am winning in the fight against osteoporosis!
I went in for a screening today at my local pharmacy. It involved an overview of my osteo risks and a bone density screening (an ultrsound type test of the bone density in my wrist. I am at high risk due to family history and early menopause, but I have a reading of 0.5 higher ( better) than the average 25 year old! They told me the most bone loss occurs in the first 5 years after menopause, so I am past that and still doing good. Keeping active and all those calcium supplements work!

Now that's what I like to hear!! A POSITIVE attitude!! That's gonna take you places girl! You're right- a 1 lb. gain in small in the scheme of things- it'll probably be off by tomorrow. Thanks for brightening my day with your GREAT attitude!

I would be proud too. And I would probably feel relieved too. I would hate to end up with osteoporosis. I know you feel relieved too.

That one pound gain isn't true weight. The bloat fairy has been hanging around WISH. I'll bet that is what is happening with you :teeth:

That pound will come off soon plus more. Hang in there and do not despair because you are making progress. You are going to be very successful--but you already knew that, didn't you?
