This thread is about to reset. When it does, it will add a link on the last post taking you to a continuation of this thread. Already seeing progress for lots of people. Let's nail it this month! OK - I tried to post it on the first thread before it switched, but didn't make it.

He passed away on October 6 at 8:30 am EST, in the arms of three of his four children. I had told him of this thread and of the people trying to be healthy because of his story, and he was touched. Later on this week I will get the count on how many Yes's we have (unless someone else is curious and wants to count them) and…

I'm afraid my father-in-law is not going to make it. They are concerned that the cancer may be back even though he was going through chemo, and he has so many other things wrong that if the do something to treat one thing, it will compromise something else. His poor body is so tired, but he still wants to fight to get…

My son showed me this clip and I thought it was fabulous. When you see someone, you do not know where they are on their journey, what struggles they face, and what they are doing about it. The fact that obesity is such a target for bullying is real, and for some reason people think it is OK to be mean to someone just…

Wow - thank you for all your stories and for joining in the encouragement for MFP buddies to get tested. I want us all to be able to be here for a very long time!

OK - here's one: How do we expect our children to take anti-bullying education and expectations seriously when all over the news and in the political arean, bullying is the norm of the day?

My FIL continues to struggle with his health. Anybody want to cheer me up with taking the plunge for a scope? You could be saving yourself tons of pain and illness, and your families a lot of stress.

I recommend reading a really good book called 'Boundaries'. Can't remember the author off hand, but it could help you avoid this in the future.

Update on my father in law. He got pretty weak with his chemo, fell, and now is recovering from a combination of fractured pelvis, aspiration pneumonia, skin breakdown, GERD type symptoms, and a blod clot in his lung. So wish he had gone farther with his testing when they found polyps 17 years ago, and that he had gone…

Lot's of great weight loss going on here! Latest crazy thing said to me: How's the baby doing? OK - I'm 56 and haven't been pregnant for like 27 years - just fat in a way that some people THOUGHT I was! So I took it as a comment that I no longer looked pregnant!
