Positive thought:

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
---Theodore Roosevelt.

keep up the great work

TTYS!

I can so sympathize with you I am also 45 and last week I wanted to slap someone or something!
I didn't even weigh in and I did eat some chocolate about 2 am! Arg all this is doing me no good
anymore! I went online to see if there is a 'safe' way to end these cycles and of course not!

LOL I feel much better this week and lost a whole pound chocolate and all!!!
Hang in there!

Good week so far I even excersized last night 'not much into excersize yet' but I'm trying, must have patience with the new me!

Adam should be slapped twice:laugh: I asked my gyno to take it out at age 25. He said no I may want to have kids. I laughed. Unfortunately the doctors here will not perform elective hysterectomies. If they did I would be first in line. I am not adverse to taking hormones but I have hit the age barrier and I have genetic HBP so that is out. I don't bloat I get grrr. That is one reason I have been eating all the yogurt. Vitamin D is supposed to help also.

Try the hershey dark chocolate cocoa. It is 5 calories and 3 grams of fiber. It is very bitter though.

:drinker: Here's to post menopause

Marie, I was just saying you could tell us how wonderful it is not not have to worry about it anymore! Sure glad you beat the cancer!

So I'm Sitting here watching Oprah. They are talking about the diabetes epidemic. Dr. Oz did a presentation about how glucose effects your body. He said it is like glass shards striking your blood vessels. So next time I think about inhaling a large quantity of carbs especially when I have been sitting on my butt doing nothing all day. I will think all I am doing is ingesting glass shards.
There was a lady 44 years of age who had amputations she had a transplant and needed another all because of diabetes. I think about the fact I have been insulin resistant since I was a child and no one knew it. That could have been me. By God's grace I saw and endocrinologist because of my hyperthyroidism who clued me in on the fact. That is one thing to be thankful about today.

Thank you for reading my rant.

Lioness, you are blessed to find a good gym and you an your husband can take this journey together. We all start over everyday.

I hope every one has a blessed day.

It's quiet. Hope everyone is having a good day. I finally had a pretty good string of days and am down 1.8 pounds. I guess the calorie increase and the C25K is the jolt my body needed.

Hope everyone has a good weekend and don't eat to much at the super bowl party tomorrow.

Diana, I haven't heard of low tsh being a sign of insulin resistance. I know hyperthyroidism can cause insulin resistance. I will ask my endocrinologist next time I see her. In the book I have on it the indicators are low HDL, high LDL, waist circumference more than 35 in, triglycerides > 150, blood pressure> 130/85, bmi>25, fasting glucose 110-126.

Hope everyone has a great evening.

Hey all, well I've had very good luck with LC before, so am giving it a go here....that, and as well watching my calories pretty strictly, and of course, exercising! Wish me luck!!!

Welcome, Slipperystar.

Congrats on finding employment Cloverluv.

Diana, you're welcome. Well raspberries are good for you:bigsmile: I figure whatever you're eating should be either good for you ore good to you:laugh: Glad you enjoyed the day with your friend.

How are you Marie our Flax Queen:flowerforyou:

Hope everyone has a great day!

Hey all! I'm just getting back on Atkins. It worked for me before after I had my son (he's now 7) when I lost 65 lbs. I was 110 before him and about 180 after him. I really ate for 2, LOL.

Well, all the weight came back after my Mom died in 2003 and just kept coming back. I got up to 190 and am now back down to 145 (I was 137 a couple weeks ago but slacked off.)

Sooo, since I got stalled and sick of the Scarsdale diet I was doing I'm going back on Atkins. At least I can eat, LOL!

So HI to everyone!!!
