Orschid, I had my complete check up this summer and my doctor wasn't concerned at all. My numbers had all come down and he thought I was on the right track. He felt that it was just the gym that was causing the stall, and said not to worry about the weight. It may not concern him, but after all this time, it does concern me.

I realize that I may be building muscle, but after a time, that muscle should require more fuel than the fat it replaced and I should start to see some loss, not just more gain.

Susanib, I can understand what you are saying about eating more salt. I never used much salt but now I am enjoying the taste and some days I do think that I am eating too much. I have stopped using all salt for a few days to see if that will help. Now I see that I am beginning to get puffy again. What a puzzle!
