hi all.
It was not my heel but my leg where I have this rash looking stuff on my leg. Don't know what it is call but the docror told me there was no nothing to do about it. It was cause from me leaking iron. and sure enough my socks I had on was a rusty looking color. I have a Doctor apt Tuesday so will et her to look at it. So far she has not been concerned with it. But I guess with the fall it got it all mixed up/ I am still black and blue on that leg. and very swollen up even my socks are too tight. I can't get my shoes on. Got Jerry to trim my garden shoes out some more so if I need to go outside I can. I have pretty much spent the day watching movies and eating out of the fridge Gonna get me some butterbeans soaking tonight to cook tomorrow. Besides Pintos Butterbeans is my second favorite/
see you in the morning

Hi Marie. So you are leaking like a rusted pipe?
Iris is 5 for now. Her birthday is August 31 so she will be 6 soon. Shaundra is 14 on Tuesday. I survived her first driving lesson. She can take her permit test on Tuesday but around here nobody waits until they pass the test. They just go out on the gravel roads where there is hardly any traffic and learn there. It is harder to learn on gravel than pavement. She was so excited to have been allowed to drive. She will do just fine at driving. I even had her turn in reverse and park. Yes we used a really big turnout for that part. And she pulled a Uie. Like I said a gravel road with only 4 cars in 20 minutes. So there was no traffic. Can't go tomorrow but I will try to take her on Tuesday again.
So I told everyone I had crab last name night. I was still full this morning from all that crab. I thought I ate 4 crab but hubby said I ate 5 1/2 crab!!!!! No wonder I am still full. But according to MFP a Dungeness crab is only 140 calories. And I swear I burn half of those off just trying to crack and eat them. But soooooo worth it. And dinner was only $50 for all you can eat. Normally it is $50 for 2 pounds which is 1 crab. I haven't been really hungry today. Gee I wonder why... Tomorrow will be back to normal. And my hubby leaves for 14 days. I can't miss him if he ain't gone..... and I can't spend it if he ain't out there making it.....

Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Monday!
Barbie..good for you for holding it together on the pizza decision and the weightraining interruptions! I may have caved on both of those.
Where are the misfits??
Marie...I am worried. I hope we hear from you soon.
It's cloudy and cooler here today. I am taking a break from the pool and will get some much needed housework done.
Make it a great day, losers! Stay strong!

I am going to try to get on early this morning. Yesterday morning the IPad said it did not access to Internet. It does that occasily. Buy usually come around later rather than sooner and then I would lose my post.
Concern about me too. Concern too but not bad enough to go to c
I did not have any leaks in my legs yesterday.and after Jerry fixed my old garden shoes to give me more instep room. I go to the doctor in the morning and see what she has to say.
Have a wedding shower to go to this Saturday my grandson and his girlfriend . Hope I can get some shoes on by then. Yes Connie I am concern about me too. but not bad enough to go to ER just wondering if I need to get some of this water drain off..?my blood presser and blood sugar are both I in my normal rangeAs far as weight I am not getting on the scales.
Going to close before I lose this Marie 0 -
hi there,
hope everyone is busy doing their thing!!
marie, hope that you are more comfortable today? maybe some of the swelling is due to the heat?
ester, I can't believe you are doing driving lessons at 14? my daughter is turning 15 in two weeks and she is just able to start drivers ed. I don't think I can get in the car with her.....yet
Barbie, great choice not to even start! sometimes when I veer from plan, I just can't stop....yikes! this woman that is my "nutritionist"(not really) believes in a cheat meal once a week to reset your system. If I do it, which I usually do not, I have to do it for dinner or else I would be binging all day long!!
Rachel, that was so scary about your cat, I hope the kitty is healing up.
Janice, how is your sister?
hi to everyone else, Shirley, connie, faye, rosie, etc.....
very hot here this week!! I don't know how I ever tolerated the heat! this almost menopausal body does not like it!!
stephanie0 -
Good Morning,
Got my exercise in for today. Glad that's done!!!!
I got a Fitbit Flex for my B'day. Think I will really enjoy this new toy.
Hope it's a good day for all.
-Connie, Try not to stress over all the decisions.
Soon that phase will pass and you can sit back and watch it all unfold.
-Marie, Hope you leaky heel is not too serious.
Take care.
-Esther, Pack up some of those crab and send my way.
-Steph, Hope you are doing well.

Hi Misfits, again thanks for all the well wishes for my sister, she was moved back to the nursing home early Sunday morning, she still has pnuemonia, and is taking pills instead of all those iv's. She is suppose to start her physical therapy again on Tuesday. We're not sure when she will leave the nursing home now. She definitely needs to be well when she does go home, no since sending her home with pnuemonia.
Marie-I am going glad you are going to the drs. tommorrow, I hope he finds out whats going on with your swelling ,congestive heart failure and leaking, to get you feeling better. I am going to make a tomato pie in alittle bit we have alot of ripe tomatoes, I seen the recipe on a repeat of the chew, I watched off my dvr, it has stuffing in it, cheese, mayonaise and basil. I am going to use my light mayonaise and cheese to reduce calories.
Connie-I see where you are selecting all your things for your new house, hopefully its not stressing you out to much, when we were building our house in1995, I was involved in 2 car wrecks, a month apart, neither my fault. I was off work from the end of September 1995, till the the week after 4th of July 1996. That was a really stressful time for me, along with other things, my 1st husband and I split up less than three months, after we moved in after 17 1/2 years married. Now that was a crazy time in my life, he married someone he worked with 3 months later. Anyway that was my house building experience.
Stephanie-Thanks for asking about my sister, when do your kids come back from camp, I'm sure your missing them. I am really getting bad about the heat lately, when I normally do good with it, I went thru menopause and stopped having periods 5 years ago, so for me its not that.
Esther-Your night out with the crab sounds great, I love crab, I havent had it in along time. There isnt any all you can eat crab places around here anymore. I cant believe in Alaska the age is 14 for a permit, you have to be 16 here. It sounds like you have a perfect place for her to practice driving.
Nancy -You got your exercise in early today, the fitbit sounds like its motivating you, my fitgear makes me walk more too.
Barbie -You are amazing with your regimen of walking and your discipline with your eating the same foods, at this point I like variety, but it sounds like it works for you.
Rachel-I hope you close soon on your house, that will be so nice for you, with this heat maybe you can get in your pool some, where you can get some relaxing in before the big move.
I weighed today and I was down to 178.4, maybe finally, I will quit going back and forth to 180-181.
Sorry if I missed you, gotta go. Janice0 -
Good morning misfit losers! Happy Tuesday!
It's so quiet in here it's scary! Is it the heat or are we just caught up in the business of life?
I'm headed to the gym for body pump. I have not exercised in several days because I've just been so tired. The more I don't go, the more I don't want to go so I am going.
Marie, I hope you get relief from the doc and will be on the mend soon.
Janice..terrible house buying memory..I guess it's true..what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, huh?
Make it a great day, losers!
Connie0 -
good morning ladies,
I think I accidentally posted on the other thread last week. I read on yahoo that new research has determined it takes 7000 calories to lose 1lb of fat versus the 3500 calories we all think it does. maybe that is why losing is so sooo slow for me:(
I am a little frustrated, weighing in around 149 with no cheats and sticking close to plan. I was at 148 all of last week. we have been out to dinner a lot, can only think it may be the sodium in the food? this is so not linear.....I get how you feel Janice, trying so hard to break into the lower decade and stay there. I just want to say goodbye to the 150s!! going to eat home the next three nights:)
it is still really hot here, I walked the dog very early and am off to spin class! hope everyone has a great day and you feel better marie!!
stephanie0 -
@slw19 I would expect it to be Sodium. Whenever I stop minding it, or when I forget to add potassium and water while removing the sodium, I get stuck.
Eating out has ridiculous amount of sodium, I eat out anyway. Even choosing wisely, I have no clue how much sodium is in that prepared food, but I'm only doing things I can continue doing, that was my rule for this journey. It takes me a few days to off set a high sodium day, so things slow down.
I'm stuck too right now, it's partly sodium and partly new movement muscle effect. I had 2 high sodium days, 4 days apart.... yeah, not best for my scale reading which says 201.6 today. I know i can flush it though.
This takes so much diligence!0 -
Good Morning,
Hope it's a good day where you are.
Hot as blue blazes at my house!!!
Have done my exercise on my bike and am adding some
weights to my regime. I don't know what I am doing but I
started with 3# dumbbells as well as some bands.
Stay cool!!!
Nancy0 -
Connie-Your right it was a strange, hard and growing time in my life. I had to get stronger in order to work and take care of my children. With hard work, good bill paying decisions, a good plan, alittle help from my inheritance, and alittle from 2nd husband I was able to pay my house off. It was such an achievement for me. I'm sure your new house will be beautiful, is it going to be in that golfing community.
Stephanie-It is annoying to keep going back and forth with the 170'sand 180's, this is the most trouble I have had with any set of tens. I feel just maybe it will happen soon. One day we will be there. I was fine for awhile just kind of maintaining, but now I want results again, its been to long in the 180's, its not like I'm tall. I am 5'5, still have a good amount of fat on me. The thing is I never did that much different from when I was losing, steady. Good luck getting out of 150's for good, thats our next step in getting to our goal, we have to get past our stubborn plateau like drama.
Eninad-It looks like you are in the same situation as Stephanie and me, sorry you haven't got to stay in onderland, I remember you hit it before, didnt you. Again it will come, I thought it took awhile for me get into the 100, I kept doing what you are doing now, but my 190's went fast, hopefully that will happen for you, too. Dont let it get you down.
Marie-I hope the Drs. have a good report for you, and get you feeling better. Janice

Hello everyone!
I am happy to report that Little Miss Foxie is finally acting like herself! Thank you for all your kind thoughts.
We ran and ran all weekend and yesterday helping paint/spackle/clean/remove old carpet and hardwood, etc. from our son's new townhouse. My Fitbit recorded 59 flights of stairs on Saturday alone! I earned over 700 calories just on Saturday. Whew. It is 1.5 hours away there and then back and then there and then back. Crazy busy and trying my best to pack food and stay on plan. We went to Subway Sat and Sun and I got a roast beef sandwich. I felt like I did well, even though I missed a snack S/Su/M.
Today the scale was up 0.8lb from last week. :-( I have my official 3-week accountability session tomorrow after working out. They'll do pictures/measurements/and BF%. We may end up changing the meal plan (?). I'm still down from 3 weeks ago, but I hate seeing a gain at all.
I read everyone's posts to catch up, but too much to respond to.
It's sweltering here and it is only going to get worse tomorrow. This weekend and next we will be back at our son's place helping again. We are getting behind on all of our own home chores/mowing/etc. I have the gym today, tomorrow and Thursday.
Back to work!

back from the doctor and grocer shopping.
The doctor said I have an infections on my legs were I have had a rash for over 10 years She gave me some antibiotic and for my swollen feet and ankle she gave me a much stronger water pill that you take once a week. Hope My system adjust to it OK. She was not to happy with me for not going to ER. Maybe I can shed these lbs I have gain.
Got to go find lunch.
Marie0 -
Marie glad you are doing better and hope you get rid of some of that water retention in your legs. Also good to see you
went to the doctor after all. How are you kitty's doing?
We got back from my grandson's today, Dave had a golf game with his passed coworkers at 2PM so we had to leave early
and didn't want to. Isaac is getting so big and cute and responding and smiling all the time. He will be 4 months next week.
I will put on a picture as soon as dropbox puts them in.
I am finishing up laundry from Sunday yet and still have to put it away. I already went to get groceries, drugstore and
fish food at Walmart. I will be having dinner myself as Dave is eating with the guys. Not a great two days of eating but
hope to get better as the week progresses. It has been so hot here, I will be getting my walk in after dinner and after it
cools down.
Hi to everyone else!
Shirley0 -
Marie..so glad you are getting the antibiotic to clear things up! Don't worry about losing pounds right now.
Eninad..you will get there..muscle exercise does mean water weight. When I took a few days off from exercise last week, I dropped 2 pounds of water.
Nancy..you can lift more than 3 pounds! You have put up a screened porch, mowed the lawn, framed pictures, and a lot more. You are stronger than you think! Try the 5 and soon it will be 8 then 10.
Janice..the house is in small community within a large golf/country club community. It's a gorgeous community and my screened porch will look out over the woods, and there is a lot more room between houses than where we are now. You and I are the same height..I so wish I weighted 180!
Becky..so glad your fur baby is better. The thing about weighing in the afternoon is food, water, and exercise...don't let it get you down!
Steph..7000 cals for 1 pound?? Geez..it will take me forever.
Shirley..I know it is good to be back home.
Stay cool guys!

Marie, Sorry you are having leg problems. Hopefully the antibiotic will take care of the infection and the diuretic will get rid of the water retention. The hot days are not good on your health. Take care!!!
Nancy0 -
Hi guys. I'm trying to send all of you "hotties" some rain. We have more than we need here. I am just praying this week will end soon. It is killing me. Monday started assaulting me a day early and it hasn't let up yet. My brain is fried and my legs are killing me. And what is worse is as I lose weight I am noticing my legs are starting to act up when I am resting in the recliner or in bed. I know it is restless legs but so far it is tolerable. If it gets bad I will go see a doc. But they used to bother me during final ballet weeks when I walk 6+ miles on concrete and tile but now it is every week multiple nights a week. Once my body finally completely relaxes it goes away but sometimes it takes about a half a book in bed to completely relax. Kinda like tonight. Well I guess it's off to sleep for me now finally. Talk to all of you tomorrow.

Hi everyone!
I have been so busy at work this week (we have auditors in and have had to sit through a 2.5hr interrogation on Monday alone)
Time has flown by!
So my in-laws haven't noticed that I dropped 15lbs since I last saw them at Xmas - but that's okay I guess they are just not the types to mention (but still a little encouragement would have been nice)
My mum arrives in sept and I am pretty confident she will make me feel good about myself ;-) good ole mums!
Got about another 1.5lbs to lose from the 4lb I gained the other week and I am off to Cambodia tomorrow and will be walking around the temples so will definitely get plenty of exercise in! I have also read there is an early morning cycling tour so may do that as I do love my cycling ;-)
Marie - glad you are getting fixed! And I agree with Connie don't worry about losing pounds right now - get fixed up first!
Keep up the hard work Becky and keep focus of the bigger picture!! You are down since you started!!!
Take care everyone

Lost my post be back later
Marie0 -
Marie, so glad you went to the doctor! Infections in the legs with edema from CHF can be tough to treat if you let it get too far along. Glad you caught this one early. I hope the new diuretic works wonders at getting that fluid off. Just be sure to stay very hydrated!
Thanks, everyone, for your encouraging words. I know it's a long process. It's so tough when you want results right away. I am definitely seeing new shapes in my arms and legs and rear end. Now if this fat would take a hike so I could see the muscles! LOL
It's going to feel like more than 110 degrees here today with the heat and humidity. UGH Stay cool if your weather is anything like ours is right now. Supposedly there is suppose to be a less-hot (definitely can't use the word cooler!) front moving in next week some time.
I have the trainer again tonight and tomorrow, off Friday for lab work and the annual vet visit for the three dogs and one cat. Then the weekend back over at our son's place working like crazy to get it ready for their move-in the next weekend. So much to do, and not nearly enough time! Keeps us out of trouble.
Becky0 -
Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Wednesday!
Just peeking in since I just got back from the gym and need to shower. I was dreading the gym today but feel great now. So glad to be taking the cut in cals starting Monday. I need order restored in my life! My trainer and I talked about how excess exercise causes stress on the body and stress is water weight (along with muscle water weight) so this creates a "no scale loss" scenario.
Hope all is well with you guys.
Will check back later.

Connie - all the info you share from the trainer is fascinating! And highly logical...it's just not something I have ever really thought about before, but it definitely all makes sense0

I am thinking about the changes I need to make to drop the fat since I am virtually beginning with a clean slate. When I started in December, I was eating too little and exercising too much. Two levels of stress..cortisol from working out= water weight. Weight training=water weight. No wonder I wasn't losing anything! So I need to reduce the stress!0 -
Connie - Add some Yoga to your routine and you start to stress release. It has really helped my blood pressure readings.
I am so trying to incorporate meditation too to slow myself down and just be with myself since we give to others so much
of our time and energy.
Speaking of Yoga I had my class today and trying to get in as much this week since I will off again. We are leaving on
Friday for another sailing club cruise until Monday. We have a holiday here in Canada called Civic Holiday which is on
Monday. We will go to another port for two more days and then head home again.
I was so glad to see Isaac for two days and enjoyed every minute of it. I will post another picture. Sorry its so big
but I can't seem to control the size on this tablet. I can control the size on email but not on this site.
