Statistics:

I am now on day two of my new step one. Magnesium and probiotic supplement, purchased more cheaply than hoped for.

I decided that, while I could do it without them, it saves me the trouble of eating Greek yogurt, so often.

Anyway, as you can see, above, I got to weigh on April 22. Finally!  Then, on the 23rd, I started taking the magnesium and probiotic, one pill once a day of each, to help with various aspects of getting healthier.

The full information from the GNC receipt is:
Weight: 259.9  
Height: 5'6.5"  ( A loss, alas! I was under a LOT of stress, this last month, though).
B.M.I: 41
Body Fat: 41 %
Body Fat Mass: 107.3 lbs.

This is a teeny tiny loss of weight from the last time. However, as often happens, I was much smaller and flappier, and, I was swimming in my bra (due to size differential, as a matter of speech, not in actual fat being in a pool with it or using it as one, I hasten to add, as I have already been misunderstood on this point) the day before. Then, I got all swollen up and my clothes were tight and it was time to weigh. Of course! So, it is conceivable that I lost more weight, but, I can only go by what the scale says and try to stop swelling up!

To help with that problem, I kicked out the people who were stressing me out, who then stole my onions and left their giant, crappy broken desk, stole my son's Ipod or MP3 player or whatever it was, and, generally, stressed us both out some more. That was right before the weighing, though.

Also, I started taking the aforementioned supplements. People with Fibromyalgia (me) tend to have low magnesium. Magnesium can, and should, be gotten through food and I will be doing so. I am taking the supplement to speed the process along. And, because, quite frankly, some of my food has been stolen, again, and, now, I have to worry if I am going to make it until I can get more, without eating crappy things in place of the good. The probiotics help to balance gut bacteria, as does the magnesium. People with Fibromyalgia also tend to have various digestive issues and suffer from Yeast Overgrowth, which is probably due to the fact that they are low on magnesium. I really don't know which is the cause and which the effect, but, it seems obvious that the things are linked, no?

That's all I have to say on this subject, until I begin a new step or have another weigh-in. Which, I might try to do it, sooner (and, might succeed if I try) so that I can see what progress, if any, was made with supplementation before moving on to another step. Or, I might just start the next step today. One can never tell, until one does.
