Well, the court date for the son was postponed another month. The court did give me permission to let him do yard work outside the house in our yard. This lets him gets some exercise. We finished Vacation Bible School this week. I have to run the gantlet of a church potluck. I tell you, those little old ladies can cook…

Thank you for listening. Niece has gone home to her mother. Bank didn't charge us a fee because it was under 5$. Hubby got the weekend off. Hubby is the one to have to talk to the delinquent boy for the weekend. DD's doofus boyfriend wasn't around today. I checked in with my local pharmacist when I had to get some meds…

Still swimming?

I understand. To be hanging in limbo vs. getting on with life to the best of your ability is big. I was where you were about 20yrs ago. The constant dr appointments that really didn't change much. When I finally said enough and just got on with life, I mentally felt so much better that I didn't care about the pain. That…

Candy Crush. lol! Definitely more cals than ny lumberjack would need. I didn't even eat the whole plate and was ill. Hopefully learned my lesson. I have been close, but not quite right on cals, except for our anniversary dinner. I had planned on a cheat holiday. I ate so much good sushi, but it was the wine that got me…

Practice what I preach is the same for me. I can talk a good talk, but then over do it to the point of meds, too. The USA has issues for sure, but it is all about bureaucracy and money. I have private insurance through my husband's job. This is usually better than the state aids like Medicaid and Medicare. Those are a…

I would love to win the lottery, too. I have planned it down to the penny on how I would spend it if it ever happened. Problem is, I don't play the lottery. ha ha ha! Land_Rocket, what country are you in? Your accent makes me think UK. Does the health care cause issues with services like this?

How Absolutely Awesome! Now that you can prove it works, how hard do you think it will be to get one? I know how you felt though. I have hit walls that made be believe that this is as good as it gets and will all be down hill terrible from then on out. A new med, a new adaptation, a new plot twist and life changes so fast.…

How great to be able to go swimming! I haven't been in years because I can't find a pool close by. Then there's the logistics of my entourage. Lol. I love swimming. It is definitely working muscle groups you don't really push in your daily life. I love how it really helps with expanding the breathing. I feel like a fairy…

In this, any loss is a great gain. :) I have a daughter (19) that has this personality that Has to feed people. She is terrible when she bakes cookies. She goes around the house putting cookies in everyone's face, trying to get them to eat. A very big danger with dieting. lol. I ran out of my normal diuretic a couple of…

I have had my grown kids all visiting this week. It has been big family meals (13 of us) either at home or out in town. I have been very careful to eat small portions and to just say no. I have been very open with my kids about how my weight loss is mandatory for my health. The only part is when everyone is having drinks…

Yes, I do know how much damage can be done with a motorized chair. lol. I haven't run over my feet, but I have others. oops! First time I had to use one in a store was demoralizing. My best friend was with me and she made it a riot. We laughed and joked as I bumped and beeped my way through the store. My kids made jokes…

It took me 2 hours to find this thread. I needed a thread with people that are disabled in varying degrees like here. I have a a chronic, degenerative auto immune, plus other fun things. I can be in a wheelchair one day and walking around the next week looking like everyone else. I was 100+lbs overweight when I started…

Born in NJ, my parents grew up in a very backwoods town near Ft. Smith, but I lived my whole life in the South. I also have a severe Southern accent that comes out when I'm mad. Cracks my kids up. Nothing like getting in their face yelling to find them trying hard not to crack up. I love the REALLY old country, too. Some…

Son 23 m. wonderful dil, daughter 18, daughter 16, son 14, son 12, son 9, son 5, son 2, and son 1. And if anyone gives you grief about child free by choice, just…

I read an interesting article last night about a study that was done that had women rate 2 pictures of men. One was a thin, yet healthy looking male with a very lean face. The other was more of a bulked up, slightly neanderthal face.(their words, not mine). The study had the women look at it during their most fertile and…

I have about 100lbs to lose total. I, too, wonder how I or my spouse will react to loose skin or other such issues. I do know that losing weight makes the body feel less tired as a whole and that will definitely help those friendly times be all the more friendly.

You say a burger, but it could be that you just need protein. I've come across this a couple times. I have tried a protein drink and then chewed some gum. It worked for me. hth.

Book called Boundaries by McCloud and Townsend. It teaches you how to tell people to back off with out being disrespectful or disrespected. 4 lbs in 3 wks is great!!! Any faster and you risk the huge amounts of flabby skin problem. You are doing this just right. You can say to Mom that you are so glad she cares, but that…

I have bipolar, and a slew of other things. I have a form of arthritis that is halfway between rheumatoid and lupus. It's called ankylosing spondylitis. After 20+yrs of treatment, I have developed osteoporosis, a blood clotting disorder, and hearing loss. I'm only 42. Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. ha ha.…

I purposely posted something to 'freak' my mother in law out about on Facebook. I privatized it to where only she and I could see it. She's in her 70's and can be a bit of a terror. I told her the truth after a week. hee hee

Used to always be my hips, rear, and thighs. After 9 kids and hitting my 40's, my rear, belly, back, and upper arms. Every time my weight goes down, the boobs are gone first. I fit 1 size on top and usually 2 sizes or more bigger on bottom. Ugh.
