If you lose weight, but then gain some back

Due to coming off of meds, and then lose what you gained from quitting the meds, do you get to count the extra?



I was down 35 pounds and then came off my blood pressure meds, which caused me to gain 5 pounds (one of the pills was a water pill, so doh, yeah, I gained that water weight back). This took my net loss to 30 pounds. I've since worked off nearly all of those 5 pounds I gained from the meds, making my total loss 40 pounds but my net loss 35 pounds.



So, how much weight have I lost?

Oh, and I never got to go out and finish the driveway. It started to rain freezing rain and then I had to leave and by the time I got home I only had time to wrap gifts before the kids got home, so I skipped the drive.

So what if everyone thinks we're slobs, huh?

Okay, dear one...you lost 35 lbs!!! Which is awesome!!! At least that's the way I look at it and that's how my WW Online program runs, anyhoo. I lost 37 lbs since May 2006 but have regained 10-15 lbs (and keep re-losing and re-gaining...) so my online graph shows 22 lbs lost currently.

You look marvelous! Or should I say MAHvelous!!
