What a wonderful transformation and to now be an instructor. That is a goal of mine someday but at my age it would have to be for the older population. I sent you a private email. Hope to become friends.

Hmmm, Shoulder pain from Gas pain, Interesting to know. Yes Roger when they do laparoscopic surgeries they blow up your belly so they can move the instruments around. The Dr said he would get most of that stuff out but some remains. You just have to take care of the rest naturally by walking and various sounds effects.…

Thanks for the words of encouragement. All my life my weight has been an issue for me since I was 12 years old. I can't tell you the number of diets I have been on, the pounds I lost and always gained back including NS twice. The first time I lost with NS was back in 2006 lost about 90 pounds in 10 months gained it all…

Hi all I just found this thread today. As of Jan 24th I qualify to be in the group. I turned 60. I have struggled with my weight since I was a child. Since my highest weight of 497 I have lost 202 pounds. It has taken many many years and I still have 140 to go. It has been a long hard struggle as I am pretty much…

Thanks Roger I appreciate that. Thursday, Friday and Saturday I was out waking with my walker. Even though the walks wee from 15 to 45 minutes I think I may have overdone it as today I have a lot of pain underarm breast area pain. I am wondering if the pain is still from the gas they use to fill up the belly for…

Hi everyone it has been ages since I have posted in this thread. I have been spending most of my time in the Lose 5 NS Group. I haven't been following NS since June of 2015 as when I went to see a surgeon about my gallbladder he told me to leave NS for a high protein low carb diet so I could get closer to the 300 pound…

I have lost more than the complete Oxford English Dictionary 150 pounds. But 7 pounds less than an average adult man 187 and still have another complete Oxford English Dictionary 150 pounds to lose

No worries about spelling, I knew what you meant. Sure hope the drugs are helping to kill the pain. Remember sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk and you will be back home real soon. Have a good nights sleep if that is possible.

HI all this has been a life long journey for me. I started in 1999 weighing 497 now 16 years later I am 320. I have been on an electric mobility device since 1994 when a complete stranger used my back to stop him from falling over a tent stake. He caused terrible damage to my back and my emotional being and I ate myself up…

I have been spending a lot of my time at other sites so I just now saw this one. Here is a picture of my she-devil that I made

WOW Roger thanks so much for that PDF. Some of those low glycemic recipes look wonderful and I will be using them. Atkins look great too. I have saved the 1st one and bookmarked Atkins. What are you doing for Thanksgiving? I have about 6 maybe 8 people for the Holiday. I have been busy coloring Thanksgiving Day place mats.…

Wow you two are doing so much walking! I can't imagine going 11 miles Val that is fantastic. So sorry to hear about the blister. Roger good deals you found on your walk. Did I mention I started back to the gym? Have been doing 11 pieces of sit down equipment in about 45 minutes. I know I am very slow but at least I am able…

Hi Everyone So sorry I haven't been around for 15+ pages worth of posts. I didn't read them either. Hope you will welcome me back! Was busy all October with Dr visits and getting ready for a craft show. The Dr visits went well but I have more this month but no craft shows just a garage sale. The craft show wasn't worth the…

Love the pictures Roger. Thanks for sharing. You out did yourself. Our HOA had a Halloween Dinner and movie night along with some of us in costumes. I was a she-devil. Made my own horns, pitchfork and tail and wore a red dress. Perhaps you saw the picture over in the lose 5 in Oct thread.

I have been looking for some recipes low carb for the side dishes. I have been following low carb but still would love the sweet potato and stuffing. Any sites that would be good.

Well fancy seeing you here! I thought you left MFP. I'll be seeing you this afternoon at Youfit. It will be nice to connect again.

oops so sorry I though I was replying in a different group about another program.

From this site: http://www.dslreports.com/ and this subforum which I sometimes look at I can do a decent job of spotting scams. The ScamBusters SubForum http://www.dslreports.com/forum/scambusters Thanks so much for this links. I also have been getting some of the calls that these sites listed. The grant money and the IRS.…

WOW! Are you sure those pictures are all yours? You look like a totally different person. Amazing job. Have a wonderful time during golf weekend.

Congratulations you have accomplished a lot since I last viewed the site. You hit a goal on your walking laps, you finished your class and you lost even more weight after switching to Low Carb. GOOD FOR YOU!! KEEP GOING STRONG!

You are looking real good! Wow that High carb Low protein diet seems to work really well for you! Keep going strong!

Sorry I haven't been on this thread for awhile as I had issue with my computers loading your videos on the desktop and my laptop had no speech. The laptop is still a mess but I did get the video problem solved on the desktop and was able to watch several of them. Rick I can understand about going off NS due to the…

Thanks everyone. Me too!

Dr took a urine test and he didn't see any cancer cells or blood in the urine. He feels that the radiologist reading the CT was overzealous in his findings. Perhaps due to my obesity and him wanting to cover his *kitten*. He did say if I do see any blood in the urine to call him right away. He does want me to come back in…

Hi Everyone. I had the CT scan yesterday and the PCP called first thing this morning and wanted me to come in. I really didn't understand a lot of what he was telling me but it didn't sound good. I will be seeing the urologist on Monday and hope he can provide me with more info. Based on the report I have received I have…

That is usually what I do Roger. I know I drink a lot more water than I need but my throat is always dry. I told the Dr about that and he did check for diabetes which I do not have. The only other thing must be the meds I take. This week I found in Walgreens and Walmart a dry mouth lozenge called ACT and have been taking…

11th day on med and I had a dry night again. The second time so far. I went to bed around 12:30 at 6 I got a signal I had to go and was even able to get out of bed and walk to the bathroom. Maybe it will just take some time. I only have a few days left of the sample Myrbetiq I think I will call and see if I can get some…

Well the catscan is scheduled for July 8th. The pills are helping during the day but not at night. I had not had Myrbetri before and was hoping it would help. Sorry to hear it didn't work for you either. After the catscan maybe something else will be suggested. He did say my weight and the pressure of that weight was…

wow that is a fantastic loss!! Keep going strong.

I noticed this happening Friday when I had 1 tablespoon of light mayo and it came up as 10 grams of carbs. Really since when? My label says 1 gram of carb.
