Good morning ladies. So I've been on the metformin for about 3 weeks now. The nausea has diminished some, but I still feel like crap :( And after eating sometimes I have to get right to the bathroom which is not always convenient. Now I am pretty consistently having acid indigestion or acid reflux at night. Have to get up…
-
So I just decided to go on the Metformin. I am 1 pt away from being a diabetic and my Dr doesn't want to see it go up, obviously, so I am to try it for 6 months along with diet and exercise to see what happens. It seems to be making me nauseous so maybe that's how I'm gonna lose weight! ;) I don't feel like eating anymore.…

Ha, they changed my 'rear end' to 'kitten'. lol Thanks for your input Snoozie. I'll be talking to the dr (she called me while I was on a tram in Alaska when I couldn't talk much) to see what my number was and get into a bit more detail about my options. What kind of side effects have any of you experienced with metformin?
-
So, just heard from my dr regarding A1C. Not good. Borderline diabetic. She wants to put me on metformin. Any thoughts? I want to have a discussion with her about giving me six months and try to get my number down without by choosing diet and exercise and see what she thinks. Maybe this will be what makes me get off my…

I'll be there Snoozie to celebrate with you! That gives you all summer to enjoy your walks around the lake! One day at a time walking our way to better health!
-
Awww, don't let the group go. I don't know what would motivate me to check in every day if it was gone :) Keep up the good work. I lurk but will try to contribute more if I have anything worth sharing ;)
-
Present and accounted for! Same size as before :( This not so new job is putting a hamper on my walking. No motivation. Got to get in gear. It's almost April already! Been struggling but checking in daily on MFP. Probably should let that lapse so I can be real about this and start fresh. Must log my food. I know it works.…

Saw this while browsing the internet this am... Before you begin a weight loss program, remember this — you are not fat…you have fat. Losing weight isn’t about shame, it’s simply another achievement you CAN accomplish! Once you stop beating yourself about the weight you’ve put on, you can focus your energy on getting the…

Sorry, I don't know how to rotate the pics...

One of the stalkers here.. I am trying to get out of my funk and start concentrating on my health. Boy what a battle that can be when you fall off for a long time :/ So last weekend was my birthday and my husband surprised me with a trip to Portland, OR to celebrate. We had a great time! We had Argentinian food one night.…

Not so good on the challenge. Had the best of intentions but... My husband whisked me away in the car for the day on Saturday and it was pouring rain all day Sunday. Poor performance last weekend :( Hopefully this weekend will be better...

Hello ladies. My goal for today is 10,000 steps. My doctor invited me to a fitbit challenge for the weekend along with a few other of her patients. Hope I make it!
-
You and me both Snoozie. Mentally ready to decline! ;) We've got this ladies!
-
I think I will adopt those resolutions! Sounds great to me!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! And here's to a happy and healthy new year. Ok, reset my ticker (yet again). So sad to be back up again. Read the following this am and I am going to use it as my mantra. 'You don’t feel bad about yourself when you get fat. You get fat when you feel bad about yourself.' I am…

I think you have a good attitude Snoozie. The holidays are stressful enough without the added crap we put on ourselves (and in our mouths!). Being mindful of what we put in our pieholes will hopefully keep us from going overboard. It is a lifetime journey we are on and we just need to go day to day moving forward. So just…

Hello everyone! Been MIA with new job and life just happening. Gained some back but holding. Not much exercise with the new job having me sitting all day :( Trying to get motivated to get back on track. I think I'm gonna try the Y yet again for the winter. I will try to check in a bit more but by the time I get home from…
-
So glad to hear from you Snoozie! Was getting concerned while stalking that you haven't been posting lately. Glad to know you are doing ok. What's with the hand now?
-
Ha ha! Love it!
-
Snooozie, sorry to hear about the 'bad' injury. Too bad surgery won't be worth the effort. But if you've been able to work around it, I guess it's the best you can hope for. I'm glad it isn't affecting your work abilities too much. I have a social job too as a Realtor so I love to come home to my nice quiet house. Being an…

like!

I'll take a piece. Just stalking B)
-
Do not shut it down! This is where I love to stalk! Don't post much but do enjoy the posts. Summer is harder though as mentioned above with vacays and getting out and doing it weather. Snooozie you are doing so well. Keep it up! If you have problems with the reverse of the bid D, you might want to look at the Plexus…

I lost five pounds this month! So I made my 1%+!!! Finally seeing something going in the right direction! Susan, so happy prayers were answered with your mom's diagnosis! What wonderful news! You must be so relieved! Ok, July, here we come!
-
So sorry about your mom Seehe. My prayers are with you.

Love your pic. Water is soothing to me. Well, unless it is waves crashing over the bow of a boat I am on lol. Looks like a lovely day. I should take a pic of my duck pond view. Not for a bit though I am leaving for 4 days to CA. My son is having surgery on his face there. Good thoughts for him tomorrow please...I'll have a…

Been walking again. Missed a couple of days due to a migraine (I hate those things) but getting my 10k steps walking the duck pond again mostly. Will start logging soon hopefully. Life has been too much for me lately but things are settling down again so I should have time to start logging again. I know that is what helps…
-
Yay Snoozie! You have the right attitude! I love it! Have a wonderful weekend!
-
Sounds like a plan!
