WOW!!! You look great!!! You are such an inspiration!!! Thanks for sharing how you got this far!!! Keep it up!

We're having roasted chicken thigs in the oven, roasted carrots, and sweet potato fries.

I have no moderation when it comes to chips. I'll eat a whole bag (big bag) of chips in one sitting :( Therfore, I can no longer buy them......I know, its not normal...

THIS!! Great Info!!

Likes: Very cheap. We actually get paid a few dollars after our insurance reimburses us if we each go at least 6 times a month. Like: The classes are free, Clean gym, I have 24 hour access, and it is in the same parking lot as my work (i work at a hospital) Dislike: Wish we had a pool, hot tub, and sauna. Otherwise, I…

OMG!!!!!! My Adult Husband does this!!!! Drives me NUTS especially when it is something I'm looking forward to. One of these days, I'm going to stoop to his level and get him back ;) Unfortunately, it probably won't bother him one bit :noway:

I would most definately find a new doctor. 600 calories is NOT ok, even if you are overweight. Shame on him :( Sorryl! You want to have a good relationship with your primary doctor and he is not starting out in the right tracks. Find someone different and if you can express your concerns on a comment card or something, I…

Chips, Chips, and MORE Chips!!!! :( I could live off chips

Way to go!!! Thank you for volunteering your time to help save lives!!! The people in your town and your ambulance crew are lucky to have you!!!!!

Hard boiled eggs, almonds, pistacios, string cheese, cottage cheese, fruit. I like to cut up cucumber and put it in water and vinegar. It's delicious!! Popcorn on the stove

Ahhh! NEver mind, I'm sorry I thought you said you were getting married in 3 months :) I'd get the dress altered, drink lots of water and still eat healthy. No biggie, enjoy your big day!!!

If it were me, I would work my ars off and eat healthy! I'd try it on a month before your wedding and go from there. If you need to take it out a little, not the end of the world but I wouldn't do anything with the dress until closer to your wedding date. Dont stress, if that's the worse thing that happens with planning…

Bump!! I will try to remember to post my dinner on here tonight :)

Bump! Great recipes!!!

:flowerforyou:

Hi Cheryl! I dont know anyone either, nor any stories. I wish you the best on your surgery and afterwards. Hope all goes well and hope this is the best option for you!!

Suprisingly, they don't. Sometimes, they don't even review them until the day of surgery. Very unfortunate.

I disagree. Surgeons should be the one to make the choice. Afterall, they are the experts. The surgeon's duty is to do what is best for the patient. And, I am assuming (if i read correctly) they are sending the patient to a hospital. A different facility. So, they aren't doing this to "make more money" They are doing it…

The surgeon should have noticed her BMI the day of consult. He shouldn't have even scheduled. The nurses probably prepped her chart the day before surgery and it was noticed. If her pre op was at the same facility, they should have caught it at that time as well.

Also, there is always a risk with anesthesia. Higher BMI, higher risk

I am a surgery scheduler and our surgery center is in the beginning process of coordinating a policy that BMI has to be under a certain number. The higher BMI, the more risk for infection. This is for the safety of the patient. The reason they would need to go to a bigger hospital is because the hospital would have more…

Oh, and did you say you run 30-40 minutes a day? That seams like a good workout during the week. Maybe try adding another 20 minutes if you need to?? 2 hour workouts would be hard to fit into my day and my days aren't nearly as busy as yours. Just get longer workouts during the weekend where you have more free time?

I find it very helpful for me to get as much done on Sundays as possible. I do all my laundry / cleaning on Sundays. I also cut up any fruits / veggies / snacks for the week. That way it is handy and available. I also try to make a big meal on Sundays so I have leftovers for part of the week. Maybe if you cook something,…

I think some people have nothing better to do and enjoy putting people down and trying to make them feel bad or try to cause conflict. Their lives must really be boring. Or they are just downright mean people :(

My husband and Family! And then my puppy Percey :) Love them all so much.

LOL! I am being SELFLESS!!! You think its fun taking medications that make you crazy, giving yourself shots, going to apt's every other day? Not really, but you know what? I will do Anything to carry a child in this world. If it doesn't work with IVF, maybe its not meant to be. But no, nothing wrong with being SELFLESS :)

You dont get it, never mind

Obviously from the sounds of it, it sounds like you dont ever want children. To each their own. You DONT understand then and should not be commenting on this thread.

Well said !! THank You!

LOL! Exactly. I can't be in debt to have a baby!? But people can for cars, toys, t.v., fancy phones?! Pretty sure 95% of everyone in the world is in debt. Unless you own every single thing you have, more power to ya then!
