Join me... 100 pounds to lose! -part 3

Aw, Keri don't give up. Something will happen for you when the time is right. Be patient, I know easier said than done, but it will happen all within time.

Seems like all these threads I have are all getting so very quiet.

i'm trying so hard not to give up on my husband with his weight loss, but he's gaining all his weight back....we've been trying everything and it sucks he's a third shift trucker....ugh!

Sorry this is so short, but I need to go do some laundry at the fun old laundry mat, how exciting......:huh:

Take care everyone! :flowerforyou:

Thanks, Keri. My husband is almot 380 again and that's where he was when we found out about his heart problems last year, I'm so worried with him having heart problems (even thought he is on medicine), I'm just worried his weight will cause a heart attack or something.

Thank you. Not too much more to go and i'll be where I want to be, its taken me a while, but I'm getting there.

Hi Keri and everyone...

Sad new, I have given my 2 weeks to my job, I have so much going on here at home with the inlaws and stress, I ended up getting sick and its just not working out.

Good news, my inlaws adopted a puppy last weekend and we get to pick her up today, she's a German Shepherd pup, so that should help keep both hubby and I motivated since she's going to need lots of walking and playing! I'm so excited!!! :happy:

Thanks for the prayers Keri!

Hi all, It is so nice to hear from you Pam and best wishes with the treatments. I hope your anniversary is wonderful. This year is one of our bigger ones too in December. You know that we want you to have the me time you need.

Sorry to hear about your job not working out for you Barb. I think something better will come along at the right time for you too. I may have a parttime on call job but I will see soon. A puppy would be so fun. I too got sick this last week and I keep feeling like I am better but not quite up for alot of exercise as yet.

So here is to a healthy weekend ahead.

Hi All and Hi Kami! So nice to hear from you. I worry about how it will be if I ever find a job. I vow to find a way to eat right and exercise regularly but know it will be a challenge. We are here for you for motivation. I am wondering how the anniversary went for Pam. How is it going with out a job Barb?

I am working one morning a week temporarily and the other job didn't pan out although he offered me work verbally but since it was on call it isn't like I lost much. The nice thing about the job I am doing now is that it is active. However it is also when I used to go running. I feel like I am in a good weight loss groove right now. Losing about a pound a week on average. I feel like I have a good exercise routine now that I have added in 2 days a week of weight training. I am doing interval walk/runs too. Right now the Aquafit is on hold until the pool is open again. When it does open I think I will do it and weight training on Monday mornings. It has been a while since I have gone to my Zumba class. Something always comes up on Friday mornings for me it seems. Maybe this week. I finally seem to have found a good calorie goal that works for now. That seems to be the hardest thing to figure out for me. Do you lower it or up it when things aren't working? But for now it is. Sometimes I feel like if it isn't up it for a while then lower it back down. One thing I have realized is I just have to have a restday. I don't like it but it is true.

Hope all have a great week.

Missing everyone!!!! Hope all is well with everyone!

This past weekend, I did the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk with my mom, my friend, and my 7 year old daughter (hence the new profile pic). We walked the 3.2 miles in 1 hour and 10 mins. Then after we did the walk, my friend, my daughter, my sister and her husband went walking through 4 corn mazes (1 was about 1-2 hours, 1 was 45 mins, and then the smaller 2 were 15-20 mins). We did a lot of walking on Saturday.

Then on Sunday my hubby and i went bowling for our league and we did an okay job, still working on brushing all that rust off.

Hiya girls.....I've been having a really tough time......so I haven't been very chatty lately. The last two weeks have been really emotional for me.

Long story short: Our cycle for IVF didn't happen in August/September because my cycle went wonky (after 12 perfect cycles, now....nothing!!!). They tested my blood pressure which was borderline high. Decided to do a half cycle of medication (using the birth control pill to get hormones in place).....I had to stop the pills because they were causing TOM to start early and continue for over 2 weeks. Doctor thinks it's because of the high blood pressure (which I've never had in my life!!!!) So now I have to wait to see a high risk pregnancy specialist for pre-eclampsia for a pre-conception consultation. I was willing to wait, but then we found out that I don't have an appointment until January 23rd....so I'm a wreck. I've been eating like no tomorrow and my weight is showing it - I've put on over 25 pounds since June (most of which has been the last 6 weeks). This isn't helping me at all and I know it, but I can't seem to stop. It started with being on the pill - I was physically hungry all the time and once you start eating like that it's really hard to stop.

Even today, I had a chiropractor appointment and booked my next one, which sent me into tears, because I realized that I could have 3 monthly appointments with him before we try again. I'm having a really tough time with all of this......

Anyways....back on it today - I have a set of very specific goals on my fridge for things like: Hydration, Food, Exercise, Medications & Mental/Spiritual. Hopefully it will get me back on track.

You guys are all doing brilliantly!!!! Keep it up. I'll try and check in again here soon!

Keri - thanks I feel much better since my family doctor validated that I'm not completely incompetent - I do not have high blood pressure. She's sending me for a 24 hour monitoring next week to prove it!!! YAY, it's so awesome to be taken seriously for once (I went to college to become a nurse.....not completely clueless). I've had a brilliant few days, both foodwise and moodwise. I'm stepping up the water and looking forward to a good weigh in on Monday. I have dental surgery tomorrow so food will probably be limited to milkshakes and soup....LOL

Pam-It was so nice to hear from you. You are in my prayers as well. Yes, like Keri said, please take care of yourself....even if that means just taking a time out from us, just let us know.

I had a great loss this week (finally!) Hopefully, it continues.....
