I have been having health issues for a while...severe vomiting and other yucky things. Fast forward to October and I ended up in hospital for 2 days as a result. Blood work, ultrasounds, mri, endoscopy, colonoscopy, biopsies. I have been seeing a cardiologist, rheumatologist, gastroenterologist and now a nephrologist. I…

I went through the same thing a few years ago. Over the years I had had a few cysts rupture. It wasn't getting any better so I had to have a radical hysterectomy and it was determined I had cervical carcinoma in situ. I had two large cysts that had adhered to the pelvic wall. I am glad I had the surgery because I am now…

Why would you do this? Drinking some awful concoction with the empty promise of it being a magical fix? You need to treat yourself better than that. Nourish you body properly, don't drink some horribly mix with no nutritional benefit to punish your body.

My boyfriend has SB as well and he is a personal trainer specializing in adaptive fitness! Do you have access to a gym with a hand cycle ergometer? A fixed seat on a rower with chest straps is another awesome workout.

I had my hysterectomy 5 years ago for cervical carcinoma (ovaries remained intact). Six weeks ago I had the ovaries removed including large cysts (a 12.9cm cyst had adhered to my abdominal wall) and started HRT. Although I have not lost a lot of pounds, I have not gained any. I have never been in better shape in my life. I…

Apples. Thanks to a severe allergy, I cannot eat any apples. But they sure do smell like they would taste good!

I actually prefer running in winter than summer. In Ottawa it gets very cold and snowy, just like the Layering properly is definitely key and good footwear. For my preference, the Asics 1000 G-TX are the best for winter runs. They are Goretex with extra traction. I also wear smart wool socks. Snow isn't as much as a…

Thank you for all the positive comments! You made me smile!

Responding to Leka1000 I am sorry if you took it as a personal attack because that certainly was not my intention. The comment was one which was posted by another member contributing to the post and I was indicating that I agreed with this sentiment. No sinister intent implied so I am sorry if you took it to be.

ps. if you have a husband or partner even if s/he is away a lot you are in no way a single parent. I have been there too and it is worlds different from being the sole provider and caregiver for the kids and the only person in the world to worry after them as a parent would. There is no comparison. [/quote] I agree very…

I have been a single mom for 14 years now. I work 2 jobs but my part time job on Saturday and Sunday is only 6 hours a day instead of 8 (Paying to put my kids through college!) My kids are 16 and 19, so childcare isn't an issue but I am still mom and have family responsibilities . I take half of my lunch break to go for a…

I went swimming at my friends house with a few women. I dislike wearing a bathing suit because I am self conscious. One of the other women said she wished she had a figure like mine and complimented me on having a flat belly!

$0!! My boyfriend is a personal trainer and owns his own private training studio so I get a free gym, personal trainer, supplements at cost and a very reduced rate with the massage therapist. Oh and the personal trainer comes home to me at night so even better! ;)

My "no more" moment didn't necessarily involve the number on the scale but rather I made the decision it was time to start caring about myself. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. I was already suffering from depression, but that just added to it. I'm a single Mom and moping around feeling bad for myself was…

I'm from Ottawa, Ontario and I am an Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP), Policy and Compliance Advisor. And yes, it is as boring as it sounds!

If it is OK with you, I would like to ask my boyfriend and his business partner for suggestions on exercises that you may be able to incorporate without increasing the pain. You say you would like to do bellydancing and fencing but that isn't going to happen....who knows....maybe you will be the first person to develop…

LOL! Thanks!

Calling someone "bae". Drives me crazy!!!!

What type of mobility impairments do you have? My partner is is a paraplegic with low level spina bifida. He is a former national adaptive rower and is a competitive sledge hockey player. He owns his own personal training studio and is a specialist in adaptive fitness. Every day at his studio he trains men and women with…

You have the time, but you have to make it a priority. We all have 24 hours in a day. I understand the multiple demands of parenting, work and other responsibilities in life. I am a single mother of 2 working full time plus going to school (distance ed). It is tough but you can do it! YOU are as much a priority as the rest…

Hi there. Over 40 is where all the cool kids are! I share the weakness for wine. I decided a while ago to stop focusing on my weight, and focusing more on my health. Healthy eating, exercising daily and enjoying life along the way! Now that that number on a scale isn't the driving force, I see more changes in me and I am…

A kiwi, coconut and mandarin protein smoothie which according to my boyfriend looks like baby poop! :/

With wind chill -39C this morning!

The biggest thing that sucks for me is not the physical aspects as much as the mental aspects! To feel not as worthy a person because of my size is the worst thing ever and certainly not the message I want to send to my children!

Tonight is date night with my love so it is a picnic on the beach with champagne!

My boyfriend and I both have locks on our phones for security, like many people do but my boyfriend is free to use it any time he wants to and I can use his phone any time as well. I have never "checked up" on him and he never has on me. If you feel the need to do so, there are bigger issues to deal with in your…

1. When I was a little girl I wanted to grow up to be a professional bride! 2. I was only ever married once.....(and divorced)....guess my childhood dream wasn't the best idea for me after all! 3. I used to be a competitive gymnast 4. I love to cook 5. I'm jealous of my older brother for all of his success (and I feel…

I am starting it today. I have heard great feedback from friends who have tried it.

Now that is a good news story! Congratulations! Keep up the good work you know you can do it!!!

My favourite is "you will never be skinny. Your body is happy this size!" 1) I don't want to be skinny, I want to be strong and healthy and 2) I'm the one in this body saying I'm not happy but thanks for your insight! LOL
