Auntiebk: hope you're doing better - sounds very painful!!! machka9 sure would be helpful if we could do that. I've been fighting insurance battles trying to retain insurance so I haven't gone to the doctor to get my inhalers as needed. Too much cost for doc and too much cost for inhaler, ughh. Good luck to those…

I've joined a couple of online support group. But everything's so new and I'm in recovery. I hope to find a fairly local group but know if I will be able to just because I'm so rural. Thanks for the input.

I'm almost afraid to put this out there, but my scale shows me down to pre-diagnosis weight (which is still high, but I'd lost 29 pounds before the lethargy kicked some months before diagnosis). I'd gained 8 of those back (could have been more but with the blood loss, who knows). When I did my two week post-op I had lost 2…

Still problems posting my pics.

Precious!

That was one of them yes. I couldn't come up with the copy image menu. I'll try again, thanks.

Sorry, I was experimenting trying to post pics but it won't let me

I can't get my pics to post

Thank you to everyone for your encouragement. My family had a wonderful Christmas despite my being down due to the hysterectomy recovery. Went to my 2 week post-op yesterday and the doc says I'm on track (reviews laproscopic incisions only.) He did verify I had 2 forms of cancer but the lab md said it appears to do be…

Dawn

Rejoining the crew after getting back on after 2 years. Felt like I could use the mutual encouragement. This year has been a crazy year! I just adopted 2 children (now 5 & 7), still leading a small private school, and two weeks ago was diagnosed with endometrial cancer leading to a whirlwind week of transfusions, hydration…

Thanks everyone for the hugs and encouragement. Today was a better day as far as planning meetings. But it was a day full of details. It really does feel like planning for some big event like a wedding except it less time to plan and so surreal. Last night I laid down and closed my eyes and immediately I was transported to…

After today, I think that keeping the diary is pretty much out of the question for at least a week. My whole day has been consumed with making calls to the medical examiner, to the out-of-town mortician, meetings with the local funeral director, and the food coordinator, and the lodging coordinator, and the ..., and the…

Well, I haven't posted in a couple of days. Dealing with a very tragic and unexpected loss of a close family member. Even though I haven't logged anything, my last minutes before finally giving way to exhaustion have been spent reading all the encouraging notes you ladies are sharing. Though not directed to me, they are…

Well, I'm up much earlier then I'd typically be on a Saturday. Haven't had a chance to be on the last couple of days. Enjoyed a few minutes to catch up. Thursday was better foodwise for me but got very little exercise in. Yesterday was a great day for exercise because we took a field trip and I surpassed my goals but…

Thanks for the welcome. Today's been a bit of a bust for me. Got up late not feeling good - maybe weather change? Didn't do morning stretching exercises. Got asked to cover a couple coworkers on my break when I usually walk. Got surprised at lunch when as I'm sitting with my healthy meal, some one brings me an expensive…

1918 steps down from yesterday - sick with upper respiratory

(1) Being able to walk stairs at work w/o being winded / (2) Overcoming recent injury with little to no after effects hopefully thanks to exercise and nutritional changes

Hope it's okay for a newby to jump in. I've just started back on MFP. I had been pretty faithful about 4 years ago. In the last year, some of my old accident injuries had been starting to wear and tear on me so I began to let exhaustion get the better of me and quit exercising like I should. Just before Christmas, I…

Hey, if it's okay, I'll join ya'll. Just got back on recently and I'm on day 2 logging in.

Well, I only got 3400 on my first day. Got home to surprise out-of-town guests. Blew my eating habits and my walking goal for the day. However, still came in under my day's counts. Yeah! Just wished I'd gotten more steps in. It seems like every time I stepped out during my breaks at work to go walking, someone just had to…

I'm in for 7.5 k/day. that will double my current average numbers. Great challenge.

Mix of my Dad's dog's name and a nickname a foster sister gave my Dad years ago. Wednesday Wish - get off the plateau I'm on. That all of you would have healthy, stress-free days! I think I missed what the Halloween challenge is, but I've joined a September step challenge (most are doing 10,000 a day - I've chosen 5,000 a…

Have seen anything from anyone recently. Hope I'm not alone in this now. Since I had to check in Labor Day, I've changed my weigh day to Mondays. No loss since Labor Day - so sad. I'm looking for something this week. Good luck to all - hope stress isn't taking you out.

Robin - glad to see you're doing well. Sunday Share: I am exhausted (which leads to lack of motivation). I have spent the last 3 weekends in another city packing up my apartment (just one more weekend left) and then coming back and preparing for the school which opened this last week. I may have gotten 6 total hours of…
