Goal is to lose 15 pounds. BMI = 24.6. BMR = 1,250. During the first three days, I "lost" two pounds (assumed it was water). Since then, my weight has plateaued -- down a few ounces, up again, back down again, back up again.

I'm measuring everything, keeping calories within the range, staying within yellow and orange percentages (mostly eating green), exceeding activity goals except for one day. Took one treat day (and even then ate fairly healthy).

Would love to hear from others who experienced the same and went on to meet their goal.

My CBC results in mid-March were whacko, so my primary care provider ordered a repeat. The late March results were similarly whacko, so she referred me to an oncologist. I'm completely asymptomatic 64yo female in good health.

Met the oncologist today. CBC in the office showed WBC counts continuing to rise. They're running all the blood test specified by NCCN guidelines plus I'm getting a CT scan (chest, abdomen, pelvis with contrast). I go back in three weeks to get the news. I'm hoping for CLL.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but DAMN. The wait for a diagnosis is hard.

I'd love to hear from others and their experiences.
