Ahhh i figured it out but will anyone join me? hmm?

Is there a way to get back to this message thread without having to scroll down to the person who started it - so that we can continue it on? :smokin:

Well hello there nancy - i'm cynthia and i've got to lose about IDK 60-70 lbs - i weigh 213 and i'm 5 feet tall if you can imagine - suffice it to say i can hardly breathe under here!!! So it's A: lose the weight or B: lose the weight - so guess what i decided to do? See ya on the big board!!!!

i am here here here - can you hear hear hear me calling you I'm a lo carber too. Just check out my diary today. And i have a friend who i could hook you up with who is very kind and has been very into the lo carb thing for a long time and knows what she's doing - i just lost 20 lbs in about 20 days - i couldn't beleive it…

I started menopause about 2 yrs ago and i'm quite certain that before i'd have lost a lot of weight quicker than i am now - ie: i've lost 12 lbs in about 45 days and i weighed 222 (210 now) and surely i would have just kicked off that 20 lbs in a month 10 yrs ago - when i started this i was so disappointed that i lost so…

GOT TO LOOK INTO IT - thnx guys

my goodness 200 pushups?situps?squats? r u outa ur mind? - that's awsome whew - it would take me several days to accaomplish that

I think that trip mentioned from DC down to Florida was an excellent idea. Also Colorado - they are real fitness buffs into rock climbing, mountain biking, horseback riding , and of course in winder skiing - there's the Colorado river to go down by multiple means, camping in Colorado would be dreamy, altougth perhaps not…

i feel more sorry for her than for you - no offence. She is clearly either sick psychologically or jealous She deserves your pity for being so damned unhappy that she would go around making others feel bad. It's a classic form of transference - put the way you feel onto whomever you're dealing with - people even do it with…

i lost 48 lbs when i was 16 and was size 7 for the fisrt time since 7th grade - then w/in about 6 months i gained it back - i got so discouraged that i never tried again - now i'm 42 and 5' 200lbs and i think ya know i could have spent some of those yrs thin if i had just tried even if i gaied it all back over and over…

look on calorie counter thingy - it does carbs too - ook up 1/4 cup mushrooms, 1/4 ragu sauce, 1/4 mozerella, 1/4 cup pepperoni and see what it says - it wouldprobably be close - i'm guessing 4gms

(look how close to yor goal weight you are whew amazing) and yeah that stuff at work - it's so hard -i know when i make something and nobody eats it i feel real down - but i at least do't say anything for cryin out loud - people have reasons beyond what you're cooking's like fo instance diet, alergies, just ate, .......…

am i the only one that has (and this is soo em bare assing) had trouble reaching around to the other side of me (i can't believe i just wrote that)

wonderful just WONDERFUL

i go ahead and make the recipi too - and for things like chicken soup in the future you can substitute vegis based on what you got in the fridge becasue they're so little difference in calorie - at least that's what i do when i make a recipi - if i add something that's really going to count caloriewise just put in the…

no noodles and no fried things like wontons or sweet n sour anything no dumplings- i think some sauces are ok like beef and brocoli but your friend is right - anything steamed would be the best - the schechwan dishes tend to have lots of cut up little vegis in them so they'[re usually ok, lemon chicken,, curried dishes…

i hd hip replaced in march - besides upper body exercises i would stick to what PT says is ok - ie if swimming is ok then do it - it might not be ok yet - has your scar healed - did it just happen - if so they'll show you exercises you can do - and be careful to do them correctly - you certainly don't want to screw up your…

thanx hubby - what a wonderful idea

i say stick to your plans and don't beat yourself down for a night out - you deserve a break every once in a while - if you go out alot keep in mind that there are drinks that have ALOT less calories than others - look into it, for instance i think a rum and diet coke has only about 100 cal;s - you're gonna have to look it…

i'm 5'0" - 214 - it's very relative - i look attractive at 150 and about a size 9 cuz i have very large shoulders even when i am "thin" for me that is - and that is my goal even though my bmi says 110 is ideal - i would look anorexic truly at that weight truly - once at 135 i was told by family and friends that i was too…

You have VERY much to be proud of - 4 kids all decided to go to college - that's almost miraculous - most other mom's would be jealous of that fact alone - empty nest syndrome or no You know what - how about giving yourself some time to grieve for the loss of the company of your crew And then decide to do something and i…

What state do you live in - some have programs for the uninsured - maybe spend a little more time looking into it - it's important to have some insurance or other plan jic

great thanx

've thought about it but not tried - i''ve heard it's not good to limit all carbs - my mom once did it and then one day decided to cheat at a party she had a piece or lemon merengue pie and passed out - haha - not funny i know but you can foold you're body too much if you're not careful - so i think low carbs with all…

it's lookin like that's NOT going to happen - sorry typo

I'm in almost exactly the same position as you. Dr. wants to fix my back with surgery. I have a torn disc and L5S1. The pain makes it so that i can only walk for about 10 minutes before i have to sit down. And pain meds and injuections only go so far. I just moved to a new area where i know noone (a yr ago recently haha)…

please don't do things that cause you pain or at least don't continue doing things that cause you pain - pain is your body's way of telling you something's not right here - definitely get to the ortho asap just in case there is something wrong and if it's a mild injury than hopefully he/she will give you some course of…

my thought is give yourself a splurge day once a month - and the other nights out give yourself an extra 300 cal.s - no more than once a week and i fyou drink the right drinks you'll find that you may not have to use the extra 300 anyway - or skip lunch and replace it with rice cakes and water just to quell the pain of…

thanx and i'm sorry you are hampered by the disorder also sounds like it runs in your family huh - mine too - but it sounds to me that you are handling it well - so good luck and i'll wish you happy, healthy and prosperous

i see him for the first time on tues next (i had seen him before for hip replacement - i'm only 41 but both hips replaced and most other joints are compromised because i have lupis and it's attacking me
