    We are doing well. I'll take a no gain for this week, by the skin of my teeth though. :grumble: This week will be better!

    I've had a few weeks where i gained 1 lb or so.
    Next week I would lose 3 lbs.

    it averages out.

    Congrads everyone.
    Just noticed 11 of us together have lost 132 lbs.

    That's a person.

    Not much going on here. I still don't have a job though unemployment is kicking in. I drove my car back to my house the other day (illegally of course :laugh: ) so now I'm working on the last few things before I can get it inspected.

    I just tried to do another day of C25k but my shins are STILL killing me from a week and a half ago. Grrr. I'll have to reclaim my area of the basement that's filled with fake trees and broken tvs so I can do some dvds again.

    I feel your pain - really! Been suffering with shin splints myself. Sani posted a link and advice last week which has made a HUGE difference. I can actually walk downstairs without pain rather than oohing and awhing with each step. My 4-year-old was starting to call me Mommy Ooh :laugh: Hope yours get better too!

    ahem, ahem <clears throat> Well . . .:embarassed:

    No worries... I'm in the same boat. At least it isn't 5 pounds, I guess!

    But, I weighed today and was down half a pound.

    My normal weigh-in is Saturday morning... so... we'll see! What day do you weigh yourself?

    Congrats to everyone who lost! :flowerforyou:

    So... I went to my doctor for one thing and ended up talking to him about fluid retention, since I've been *really* feeling it lately. He told me that exercise, sodium intake (of course) and even - get this - humidity and certain vitamins can cause you to retain water! :noway:

    LOL, it has been especially humid the past few weeks, I've been exercising five days a week, and I'm taking vitamins. :laugh: At least I'm watching my sodium! Haha. Oh, and I finally sucked it up and bought a bottle of Rhodiola Rosea from GNC... but I haven't really felt any effects from it yet. Hoping!

    What are you taking the Rhodiola for?

    I used to take it a few years ago... it kind of replaced my coffee addiction. I felt like I had more energy and my mood was better. But, the kind I was taking also had caffeine infused in it, among other things. The kind I bought this week is a pure extract. A friend of mine has been taking some herbs to help with pain and depression associated with having avascular necrosis and he said it took about a month of taking them before he felt results.

    I weigh on Tuesdays, so I can check in with you guys. I used to weigh myself every other day, but I've learned not to do that anymore.

    I know that Gaia Herbs makes some in capsule formula - not cheap but great stuff! I thought at first that you were taking it for fluid and that was a new one for me. I worked for Gaia about 5 years ago - I love that stuff!

    You are not a moron! I am for not exercising as much as I should have. I am going to head out and exercise right now, though.:bigsmile:
