Happy Holidays Everyone! :) What an awesome group of people here! I thought I'd drop in for a moment to wish everyone some good cheer and a bit of motivation! Tomorrow is a big holiday meal for a lot of us and there is a lot of agony and suffering behind all that. :'( I just want to suggest that you go to the meal with the…

An amendment to Niki's post about me - the shot I got was in my spine and it made a HUGE difference in my health. I had been walking like Quasimoto prior to that, cane necessary, for 4+ years. Now I am up-right and going short distances without that cane. BIG BIG CHANGE! MOODS are UP. :) <3 Finances are in the dumpster but…

Hi Everybody and BIg HUGS to all! <3 After my warm chat with Niki I thought I'd drop by and say hello to everyone old and new. To the newbies, when Skinny Jeans gives you an answer, it is absolutely the correct one, do not second guess her. She is an expert and I take my advice from her at this point. Also, Nina is the…

To all my weight loss friends, I love you all, and I have learned much from every one of you; I appreciate all of you for the support you have given me and for what I have seen you give each other. That is so beautiful: to see caring support given to each other. <3 Please keep that alive. Do NOT lose that because of what…

double-posted the above response, so filling the space with answers to questions about my EMG test. To bad for me but EMG shows lots of nerves damaged in both legs up to knees and above due to old B12 deficiencies and that explains long time bruising issues, pale skin and part of some other issues. My primary doc didn't…

Happy First Day of Spring Everyone! this is such a happy day for me - there's no turning back as far as I"m concerned Spring is here. In Nebraska, this usually mean's we'll get at least 6 -8 more weeks of frighteningly cold, windy, miserable weather! But as I head out each day clad in my ugly but warm puffy coat, its dull…

Ha! You guys crack me up! @Celtikgirl and @Sora4ever, I pictured those encyclopedias immediately too, but with much fondness as I had them also. From childhood on they were my best friends.

I wanted to share this Quote: It seemed strangely appropriate for this space. I suffer from depression. I don't know how many of you do as well. If you live in a forest with a scary bear and a bunch of delicious berries, you need to keep that scary bear on your mind all the time. You need to hide your food and yourself,…

@Skinny - a long time ago I rented part of my rental house out to a nice grad student from Philly. She hated Feb. too, and just couldn't get going and called her mood the whim-whams I used to wait on her as she lolled on the sofa, trying to study from a big text book on the floor below her. She'd drink endless glasses of…

After the doc saw the MRI he decided to call me and cancel that appt. he said nope, and get thee to the neurosurgeon. So I'm seeing a friendly doc I worked with back in the day, on Mar 1. Ugh, thats a bad indication but I read a lot and having looked back on 3+ years of falls, and pain sufficient to require narcotics and…

THOUGHTS ON UPCOMING MONTHLY CHALLENGES] please share your input so we can decide on the monthly challenge for March. I'm thinking we should plan for the summer by preparing from the ground up. ie. in March we could concentrate on our ankles and calves. IN April the challenge could be to work on our glutes and our thighs.…

@niki-You last post of Pick your whatever day is cool! @Barb - I'm totally sympathetic to your ankle problem...if the base is broken the statue is no good. Same for us. And you feel worthless. I'm often in the same boat. Currently I'm wearing ankle braces on both feet. It does help tremendously, but they are also fatiguing…
