Epilepsy Increases Mortality Risk in Pregnant Women | Medpage Today
Sarah C. MacDonald, BSc, of the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, and colleagues, found that after adjusting for several confounders, women with epilepsy had a more than 10-fold increased risk of death during delivery hospitalization (adjusted odds ratio 11.46, 95% CI 8.64-15.19) compared with women without epilepsy (80 deaths per 100,000 pregnancies versus six deaths in 100,000 pregnancies).

Journal of Obesity — An Open Access Journal.
A two-year Cornell University study found that tracking the results of daily weight checks on a chart helped people lose weight and keep it off.
Sometimes I forget but I try to weigh myself every day. I keep a log on a Google Sheet. It is a daily reminder of whether I’ve been good or bad. Bad behavior is not hard to recognize. Too many restaurant meals, too much animal protein, ice cream, pizza, beer, etc. Good behavior is harder but achievable. Grilled chicken on mixed greens, choosing the smaller burrito rather than the giant version, more plant based meals, less beer.
Periodic weigh-in’s work. It’s part of the routine ever since losing over 200 pounds. Boom.
