Good news!

Weighed in with the dietician and I had only gained one pound in the month of December.

Considering that I gained an average of 5 pounds from August to October, I'm doing well. 

My first month of medically supervised weight loss happened the month of Thanksgiving -- and I gained no weight, so we both think I am doing well.

Exercise is going great too.  I did 20 minutes both Saturday and Sunday, trained both dogs back to back on Monday, first time I'd done that in a long time and I started making handling mistakes in the last runs so I stopped and watched.

I was only able to do 8 minutes last night but so far have 15 minutes in and am hoping for 20.  Yeah, I'm having to do it in 4 sets, but I'm doing it.
