[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 152955, member: 1991"] It's still good news, even if you don't seem to notice any weight coming off. The rings falling off is a good sign. The liver enzymes being down is even better. The sed rate (ESR, over here) is undoubtedly up because of your lupus, but it's not a problem in itself, just a symptom of inflammatory processes being currently active. Your rings - I remember seeing someone in my family wearing a ring that the jeweller had put a small strip of metal, like a spring, on the inside of the ring part. It looked to me like it was made of surgical steel (for the springiness) and would have been a cheaper option to getting a ring made smaller. They sort of snap on, and help hold the ring on your finger if it's only a couple of sizes too small. It might be something you could look into, anyway. They should be really cheap, like buying a packet of spare hooks for pierced earrings. Don't fret too much about the binge. It's maybe more of a worry that you were able to eat when stressed, because that indicates something that won't change even after the diet, unless you can put some strategies in place as alternatives to eating, next time there's a similar scare. Nineteen pounds gone is about where I'm up to now. And I'm still waiting for my engagement ring to loosen up enough. It's almost been at the "quick, cut it off!" stage and even now my hand looks puffy on both sides of the ring. I have another ring which I haven't been able to wear for about 20 years. I can't get it resized because the design is complex and goes all the way around. Maybe if I lose enough weight for my wedding/engagement rings to come off, I'll be able to get this other ring on? I can hope. Marg [/QUOTE]
