Losing Slowly

All last year I was consistant in losing an average 2 lbs a week; I got spoiled. It took forever to lose the December weight (see last post) and from then until now I have managed to lose 4 pounds. BUT, on an up note, I am at a long-time low. I am within 2 pounds of not being overweight for my height. I still want to lose 20+ more pounds from that heading to the middle of the desirable weight area instead of the high end.

My knee is still inflamed and will not straighten all the way. I head to PT twice a week and I believe it is getting better, but I still tend to limp and get really tired if I stand for any length of time. My doctor told me last week that maybe I'll have to talk to the nutritionalist. I don't mind talking to the nutritionalist, but I've done some research on the net and I AM eating an anti-inflamitory diet; so I don't think any of this is my diet, but we'll see. We're heading to our daughter's home this weekend; that might derail my anti-inflamitory diet for a period, but even when I'm away I make the best of choices.

As for the weight-loss challenge for the 1st time in over a year, I'm NOT in 1st place. But we're not quite half way through the challenge. Do you think it's the lack of me being active?

Next time I put words to paper, I will be a normal weight and achieved the first of my big goals.
