You got to put your health and that of your baby first. I am sure those people coming to your party know you are expecting. I'm sure they will not hold it against you for a little dust here and there. Just do the worst of it and let the rest go. You really need to put yourself first.

Hey girl, Give yourself a break! :flowerforyou: I am proud of you. You didn't let it stop you. You got right back on track. Everybody has a down day. If I was you I would plan my eatting habits to allow for one of those kinds of days once a month, that way when and if it happens again you can enjoy it instead of being so…

Hello all, I think this is for the age of 50+ right? If so, I definely want to join. I'm 53 years old and feeling it! Thank God for this website with so much support and helpful tools.:flowerforyou:

First of all before you do anything, maybe you should get that checked out with a doctor. Last year, I was so tired I could barely make it through a day. I was eatting right and going to the gym, basically living a healthy lifestyle. Everyday I was sleeping more and staying tired more. After a trip to the emergency room…

Welcome, I just joined this past week myself and I have found this website is very helpful. Not only is everyone here supportive, but the site has all kind of tools to help you.

I am 5'1" and I am on a 1200 calorie diet. I lost 3 lbs my first week; I am thinking most of that is fluids. I thought that may be too many calories at first, but it seems to be working. I think you should give 1300 calories a chance before judging. It feels good to eat and lose at the same time. :wink:

This site has some great stuff on it. I just joined a few days ago and I have found the people here are very supportive and there are lots of things on this site to inspire you. Welcome :bigsmile:

You know, I tried rice cakes. Yuck! They are so dry… My munchies were not healthy before, but now I have turned to healthy veggies, carrots and celery mostly, because they are convenient to take everywhere.

You are a very brave woman. I hope you are still doing well after going off the steriods. I understand how hard it is to take on a challenge of dealing with health issues when you can't get in touch with your own emotions because of medications. I hate taking medications of any kind. I found that after I got off the…

Thank you so much for the encouragement. I was wondering if anyone even reads these posts. And yes, I live in South Carolina. I moved here when I was 17. I grew up in the Southwestern Virginia mountians. So I have a horrible accent. I'm told that by people who live in SC! Again I want to thank you for the encouragement. I…

During the past summer I had a problem with my blood. My doctor kept me on high doses of steriods the whole summer. I gained an extra 15 pounds on top of the 15 pounds I had already been trying to loose. Instead of trying to loose 15 pounds I now have to loose 30 pounds, that was so discouraging. Up til this point I have…
