losing 4.2 lb a week
12 January 2018
It's hard to believe that two weeks ago I could not stand up from a seated position without the aid of something to pull myself up on, and walking across the room required chairs to grab, the edge of the counter, or even a shopping cart for support at work. I could not stand longer than about 20 minutes before my legs felt as though they would collapse.
I have been dealing with increasing joint pain, muscle weakness and fatigue since last April. It started in my hand and shoulders, and this fall it moved into my knees and hips. The doctor I was seeing just kept offering anti inflammatory medicines. I just wanted to find the cause. Depression started to become an issue.
Walking for exercise stopped. My flower garden died because I couldn't take care of it. My house suffered because deep cleaning, even vacuuming was so painful.
On December 27th, I saw a new doctor who listened to me and ran a simple blood test. The result, I am severely vitamin D deficient. Now, after only 10 days of taking high doses of vitamin D, I can stand up unassisted, I can stand long enough to cook a proper meal and clean up after it, and I can walk without grabbing things for support. I still have some joint and muscle pain, but it is getting better. I feel happy and hopeful again.
I look forward to resuming walking for exercise and I am already planning what to plant in my garden. This picture is of the flowers I picked last June while taking an hour long walk around the neighborhood. I'm eager to go walking again.

I took time away from here to use an 8 month free Weight Watchers membership. I recorded in both sites for a month to see how they compare for me. Looking up food choices was easier in WW, but I am not willing to pay $20 per month for that. I prefer the daily summary on this site. I like being able to see where my calories are coming from: carbs, fats, and proteins. So, I am back. Last March my weight was 235 pounds. I am now down to 210 pounds. . .I gained 4 during the holidays. So, let the journey continue.
