Hello Friends!
Well, today is another snow day here in DFW. I probably could have made it in to work if I'd tried really hard but I'm afraid of getting into an accident so I just play it safe.
I'm so glad to see we have a few on board for our challenge! Each day for me is getting a little bit easier. I just keep reminding myself that I can do it, I'm not going to starve to death (no matter how I feel), and it will be worth it.
Stay warm everyone!

Thankyou so much. I hope we all will achieve our goals
Good Luck everybody!!0 -
Okay ... went back to the doctors to see if it's normal to be feeling so yucky with the antibiotics and she said that’s just what antibiotics do ... they wreak havoc on the digestive system ... so I'll suck it up and I'll be done with them on Monday. I've decided to give myself a break for now. My tummy feels better when there's something in it and I'll get back to fighting the fight starting on Tuesday. Sometimes you just have to roll with it.
I’ve also had terribly sore feet for a couple of months now. I was told by a doctor years ago that I have arthritis in my feet. They hurt sometimes and then it will stop and so on and so on. But this time it’s just getting worse all the time … so my doctor that I have now is telling me it probably isn’t arthritis … she says it’s rare that arthritis will hit the feet. Really??? Anyway … I’m off to see a Dr. tomorrow who specializes in the treatment of feet. Hopefully we’ll get all this fixed up and next week I’ll be back to my full force healthy life mission. Woo Hoo!!!!!0 -
Hope you feel better soon Magglett and it isn't anything serious with your feet. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Take care all and have a happy, healthy day!

This sounds like a great group. We all need support sometimes. Personally I started on here and lost 4 pounds and then fell off the wagon and gained like 10. (my depression got the best of me) So now I've been less depressed and have gotten back to the same weight I was when I started here but now the stress from work is getting to me and all I want is comfort food. It wouldn't be so bad if I could still bike commute like I did all summer but the weather has been so bad here in NY that I don't feel safe out there on my bike. Spring needs to hurry up and get here! :sad:0

HI Skinnyspirit,
The weather has been a downer for everyone. Even here in Texas it is so COLD. I am a snacker at nite, so I try to keep my hands busy. And always have a bottle of water with me to drink. Keep a journal and when you feel like eating write why you want to keep, maybe venting will help. Or log on and just vent or just scream let it out.
I know stress can get the better of us.
Hope today is better.
Have a Great Day Everyone.

Wow, I was HORRIBLE yesterday. OK, maybe not horrible. But certainly not great. I went to dinner w/ a friend at a Mexican restaurant (Joe T Garcia's for anyone who might be familiar w/ it in the DFW area). We had the cheese enchiladas. Which really is just one cheese enchilada. It comes with rice and beans and a "nacho" (read: a large tortilla chip with melted cheese on it) and beef tacos. I didn't have any of the tacos, had 1 enchilada, some rice and beans, 1 nacho and a whole bunch of chips with salsa or guacamole. But not a ton of guacamole. Then ... I had some flan. It was delicious! I had oatmeal for breakfast and a special k bar for lunch along with some crackers. I guess after writing it down it doesn't sound that bad after all. I haven't logged it all yet, guess I should do that now huh?
Yesterday my husband and I were watching some TV and the guy on the show had been shot so they put him in a medically induced coma so he could heal. My husband says "I need to get me one of those medically induced coma's! Talk about weight loss potential!" I cracked up laughing He's crazy!
How is everyone doing today?0 -

Morning everyone! Happy Valentine's Day
So, last week was the first full week that I was logging my calories again and I did not do wonderful. Not HORRIBLE, but not great either. Even so, I was down 1 lb when I weighed in this morning. I'm not exactly sure how, but I'll take it! 10 more to go to reach my current goal yay!
How did everyone else on the challenge do last week?? Let's hear those reports!

Hi all ... hope your day is going well. It feels like a new beginning for me. I've been on antibiotics for a couple of weeks and they've wreaked havoc on my intestines. I had my last one yesterday, my sinus infection seems to be gone, I had a few treatments on my feet, and have been fitted for some orthotics. So now ... starting today ... I'm back to a normal healthy eating schedule. The specialist said I won’t do any damage to my feet by exercising so I’ll try a step class DVD tonight. Woo Hoo!!

Hi Jen ... welcome to MFP. We all get down once in a while ... the fact that you posted that on here shows that you haven't given in to it ... so for that I say Way To Go!!! This time of the year is tough on a lot of us. My only advice is to "Act" like nothing is wrong. I always ask myself ... If I was feeling up right now what would I be doing? And I try to force myself to do it. 99.9% of the time that works for me. My mom always said ... "Act" the way you want to be and suddenly that's the way you are
I miss her and her words of wisdom. Keep in touch with us here. We're here for each other.

Saw the doc yesterday for this chest/head cold since just when I think I’m on the mend it changes its mind...lol... so she prescribed antibiotics since my sinuses might be infected now. Right now I have to sleep sitting up and can’t talk for more than a few minutes at a time or it sets off a severe coughing fit but at least the silver lining is that the Nasonex seems to be working well on the constant inflammation I get in my sinuses and I am not stuffed up to the point where I can’t breathe through my nose. Yay. Take the victories where you can.
And I finally got my thyroid medication straightened out last week so that is helping with the weight loss now. Double Yay.
Rambling here now but for some reason I just don’t seem to be able to pronounce the word antibiotics right... it’s so weird. I know how it is pronounced and say right in my head but when I speak it, I say antee-bee-yotics for some reason unless I really concentrate on the word and speak it slowly which I then sound totally whacked to anyone listening to me...lol. Just thought I’d throw that in there for no real reason.
Take care and I hope everyone is doing well. I will be catching up on posts today since I am off work again.

Okay ... so I was planning on getting back into my exercise routine this week ... but my feet were so sore. Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Spurs ... SUCKS!! But then ... I love the people on this site for their words of wisdom and their insight. It was kindly brought to my attention that just because I can't use my feet right now ... I can swim. Why didn't I think of that? I was just too focused on what I couldn't do (hiking and Zumba) instead of what I could do. I plan of visiting the pool at my gym soon. Thanks AGAIN to this wonderful site for your help. I love it here.

@ Magglett - Good plan! I can't wait until the new Kiwanas pool is built since I don't have my gym membership anymore.
Back to work today after my head/chest cold took another downturn for a couple of days... just when I thought I was getting better...lol. The doc prescribed Zithromax since it looks like I now have a sinus infection. I feel a lot better today though so long as I sit still and don't talk...lol. Good thing I work at a computer all day and my boss said I didn't have to work the phones today.
Take care everyone and I hope you are having a good week!

Hi everyone. Just touching base. I hope everyone's weekend is going well. It's a long weekend in our neck of the wood ... we celebrate "Family Day" on Monday. I love long weekends. How is everyone doing? I've been fighting a bit of the winter blues. A few more sunny days like today would be awesome. Take care all and post to let us know how you're doing. Spring is just around the corner.

I've been in a little bit of freak out mode this morning ... you can read why on my blog:
http://losingandchange.blogspot.com/
But I just now (and I apologize to any men who might be reading this) started TOM and that explains why I was up 1.5 lbs this morning when I was basically pretty good last week. It also explains why I've been craving carbs like a mad woman the past several days.
This too shall pass ..... 0 -
How is everyone doing? Rather quiet here lately. I hope that is a good sign that everyone is busy, happy, healthy! We finally are seeing some warmer weather and less snow! I've been trying to exercise more and eat less. That is supposed to be the key, right? Sounds so easy....NOT! I am working on planning the meals and sticking to it. That really helps so much. Then I don't have any excuses to eat out or order in or whatever. Have a wonderful day!0

Great morning everyone!! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the breeze is warm and flowers are blooming. Okay it's really snowing and freezing but a girl can dream, scratch that, fantasize...lol.
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Hope everyone is doing well and making healthy choices. Stay strong, be postitive and choose your attitude.
I am a bit hyper today so I am sending warm fuzzy energized thoughts to everyone.
Take care,

He there everyone ... we really have been quite a quiet group lately. We need some more updating on here. Okay ... so ... Personally ... I'M SICK OF WINTER!!!! Ugh, enough already. Again we have a winter storm warning in our area. Oh well ... you really can't fight mother nature. I'm still waiting for my orthotics. The company sent a pair and they were the wrong ones so my doctor sent them back. So I'm waiting again. Some day this will all work out.

Hi there. I see we haven't been on much. My reason is that I've got the blues big time and just don't want to spread it around. I hope you're all okay. It's not too bad ... just the blahs you know? But today is March ... which means Spring is almost here. Woo Hoo!!!
