Good for you on the weight loss Shirl. And for taking care of your health with that colonoscopy!
Because of the positive encouragement here, I made an apt for my 50,000-mile (50yo) check up, so I'll be having that appointment too in the not to distant future (but after vacation!).0 -
Hi Roger,
I wanted to thank you again for setting up this group, and for announcing it on the NS site so that no one that was checking the discussion board got left behind/abandoned. I admire your computer skills, and really appreciate your using those to benefit me and all our NS friends! I would not have found my way here without you. And it makes a huge positive affect on my life to be here learning and sharing with you and everyone. Plus, your support, encouragement, realism, and sense of humor are awesome!
Thank you, Val0 -
Roger, what Val has said is absolutely true. And said better than I would. Thanks for all you do, and how you do it!
We appreciate it! 0 -
Thinking of you Shirl! The hard part is the drinking, the sleep is great!

I had to ditch my old scale, because it was all over the place, plus it was giving me a weight that was at least 10lbs less than than my actual weight. I got my new glass scale, which I still think is going to break when I step on it, on Amazon and it is working great.

I did the same thing that I threw my old scale away as it was just not reflecting what the real deal was. I have also a glass scale and the fear of breaking through that thing is there lol...0 -
I am getting a new scale tomorrow!!!0

Hi Again
I had a off moment last night too, But it did seem to help break the Mini Plateau as the scale moved down this morning anyway.
Good Luck
RogerI am getting a new scale tomorrow!!!
Hi
One tip, Make sure it is returnable if it is not consistent. Keep all the packaging in like new condition, just in case.
When I was working in a retail location I had to refuse returns where the first thing they did was destroy or throw out the packaging or wait to long to test the item. I felt badly but I wasn't going to lose my job over it.
Good Luck

Hi y'all
It's been a rough couple of days, I developed a ginormous abscess in my armpit and found out today that it is infected with a "superbug" called MRSA. Had a total meltdown in the doctor's office when she told me. I shouldn't be surprised by it because I am a nurse and am exposed to these bugs daily but I still found it very upsetting. They did drain the abscess yesterday but had to do it again today. It really hurts. The Dr initially wanted to admit me to the hospital, but ended up sending me to a surgeons office. The surgeon decided I didn't need surgery beyond what was done and that the infection can be managed at home! I was so relieved.
On a happier noted, my boyfriend, knowing that I'm having a rough time sent me the most beautiful bouquet of roses today. No one has sent me flowers in years and years. I think I cried over the flowers for half an hour, happy tears though. When I called to thank him he thought I was calling to tell him I was dying or something because of the way I was crying lol. Finally got it out that I was just so touched. I think this one's a keeper.
Haven't been 100% on plan but it's been more that I haven't been eating everything because I have a fever and have been forcing myself to eat what I am eating. Should have weighed myself yesterday but I forgot and today I just don't want to lol. I'll weigh tomorrow.
Hope everyone else is well.

Lesa - sorry about the MRSA - get well soon! So Scary! so happy about the boytoy!
5mates - unfortunately, it was a thinner scale we replaced. That scale worked well for years and then didn't. This time we went for form, not function I guess - got a bamboo one - will be buying another I guess.
Nene - you mentioned the cals in a blizzard. A peanut buster parfait is 1000 calories - that was a real shock to me, as was the amt of calories in a meal at steak and shake - also over 1000 calories. Really a shock, when you know you really only need 1200 to 1800 cals a day for most of us.
All clear on the colonoscopy. Prep didn't go as well as it should, so I will need the next one in 5 yrs. Very surprised, they didn't weigh me nor check my blood sugar. The nurse and I discussed what happened if I went low - and I was only 99 when I woke up this morning so covered it with 15 grams of liquid clear glucose, just in case. She said if I got shaky or sweaty she' d check my sugar.
Unfortunately, medical is usually a hurry up and wait situation. Today was no different. Appt was at 8:45 - never did the procedure until 10:30. DH was wondering what was taking so long as I left him in the waiting room at 8:30. The Clinic has not yet updated my insurance either - I was still labeled retiree under 65 - turned 65 last week and started MC. Hopefully won't be a medical billing nightmare. I've been holding off scheduling unnecessary appts until they send me new insurance cards, but they're really lagging, as usual. Of course I'm sure I'm not the only person who just turned 65! LOL!
Roger - adding my kudos too. You not only have great computer skills, but explain things really well. You're a huge asset, please don't leave when you reach goal.0 -
Lesa-a that is a scary infection. Do take care of yourself, and hope that clears as quickly n thoroughly as possible! Very sweet about the flowers. Glad you found a thoughtful caring man!!! (Does he have a brother?)0

Has/does anyone monitor their ketone levels to optimize dieting effectiveness?0

Lesa..scary news. Please take care of yourself. Good you have support from your boyfriend.
Roger..thanks for the scale info.
Scrappin..at least the colonoscopy is over. I had the same results and need to go back in 5 yrs. the best thing about the procedure is the sleep!!
Terri..congrats on a super weight loss.
Anyone thought about Memorial weekend and food choices? We will be camping at the RV but entertaining my daughter and family.
I seem to have several dinner entrees left this month. Should I delay my next auto shipment and try and order a la carte or try and sell online?

Scrappin.... So sorry about the infection. I know that has to be scary! ((((hugs))))) What a thoughtful man you have there. He sure sounds like a keeper for sure!
Jane....Thanks. I have no plans for the weekend besides work. I thought about having a grill-out on Monday but I'm not sure. Turkey burgers and chicken breast on the grill sounds mighty tempting though! lol
Woke up sluggish this morning. Woke my son up for school then went back to sleep. When I woke back up for work I realized that he had fallen back to sleep and missed his bus! Grrrrr TEENAGERS!!! lol So as sluggish as I was this morning I had to rush him to school over to the next town 30 minutes. So that made me late for work. Now I'm going to have to stay late to make up for it. *sigh* Oh well! Just another day! lol
Have a great day, everyone!0 -
Guess I found you again. Thanks to button. I work off the iPad most of the time & lose my way.
Down another 3 lbs & feel great that's it's moving again. Had to delay my order for awhile & been doing most meals from what I learned from you all. Resumed order so hopefully will be here soon.
Thank you all for the motivation.0 -
Hi Friends,
Terri and Kath. ......congratulations on your loss.
Lessa.....I am also a retired nurse. So sorry about your infection. Get well quick!
Shirl.........glad your procedure is over. That whole DQ blizzard thing just blew my mind. This time in my weight loss journey I am not trying to be perfect but manage my life. Blizzards are just crazy calories, I would have rather have had ribs (at least there is some protein).
I usually don't whine, but oh my goodness here it comes. Yesterday I made an honest concentrated attempt to work within the new NS guidelines. I logged on NS and charted food on the web site, then I went to Numi and charted there and I also charted on the MFP site. I read posts here and on the pro boards. I clicked on the DD on the NS . Today I read a comment on the dd that said on June 22 they will move the dd and to go to the Numi site for the new tracking for clicks. Didn't find any information on the Numi site or official notification from the NS site. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Thanks for letting me vent.0 -
Sorry folks, the whine continues. On NS site and on back of package there are 120 calories in tuna salad.....Numi has the tuna salad at 200 calories. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr0

Ok, so now I'm talking to myself. I did see that on the NS web site that it is closing on June 22. So it is official. Sad0
-
Closing the whole website??? Whaaaat?0
-
Really..so I assume they will have somewhere for ordering food or they will be out of business! I do hope they settle down at one place, because it is wearing thin to keep jumping around on websites. Let's hope they have something new and exciting planned!

"All NS tools and trackers found on this page will be closing June 22. Check out NuMi.com to start our all new tracking tools today."
Just to continue my rant on the Numi site; it has congratulations you have lost 20 pounds click here for your bear. In another area it has that I have lost 55 pounds and a third that says 6. Thinking I need ETOH or prayer for patience today. Maybe both0 -

Hi Nene, You're so cute. I was getting caught up and reading each of your notes...and then got to the one where you're talking to yourself! I chuckled!!! Thank you (laughing is good abdominal exercise, and good for the soul too). I had to call NS 3 times to get them to "fix" my weight on Numi. Since that's the only thing we have to do there...it sure would be nice if they got that right. Thanks for the update about the continuing changes. ~Val0 -
Thank you Lesa and Val for calming me down off from the ledge. I promise I was not auditioning for a snickers commercial. Voices in my head...... Breathe.......I have eaten all my stuff today and now it is time to go to bed.0
