Nsk. Seems we are similar in age and abilities. I've fallen several times due to extreme fatigue that makes it difficult to lift my foot, fell face forward, slipped and fell backward several times. Get pt till my benefit expires each year Sorry about the loss of your ex. No reason why you can't call yourself a widow. If ur…

Hi I'm Katrena. I'd like to get back in this group. Just had my 2nd cancer surgery and they think they got it all but I'm not sure why it keeps coming back. I know sugar control and weight loss will benefit me but I Also in a flare of multiple auto immune disorders that keep me in co start pain and limit my activity (or at…

Minn Queen. I eat out every day from drive thru because I am too tired to cook. Made my own breakfast today. You sound like maybe you are like me and a little depressed. My daughter finally came over yesterday and brought me some toilet paper (I didnt stock up and havent been able to order any). It was so good to see her,…

Starting over again!!!! At all time high. Spent winter in fla and returned home and packed and moved in two week period. The lockdown occurred and I've been working from early morning to midnite trying to get unpacked and organized. Too tired to cook, can't always find what I need etc. bright side is I'm making progress…

Holly so sorry for your loss. Hang in there chickie. this too will pass. Best wishes and prayers for you

I have been in the hospital with an e coli infection and the dietician asked me not to have a weight loss frame of mind until I got better. I have to say the food they served me at hospital was not as healthy as I eat at home. Too many carbs and processed foods. I'm happy to be home and glad that I maintained my weight…

Strrggling to meet goals. Have been super busy. Dr's apptmts for phsical theraphy and school two nights a week. Today I had to sit in on juvenile court cases as part of my training to be a volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for abused and neglected children who have been removed from their homes. My job is…

This is the third day of performing one hour of exercise. I am actually feeling better but the first day I was sure I was up to it. Some shoulder pain but go to PT tomorrow Holly – love that dog. Lucky you, you have to exercise. I’m thinking of getting one myself, but smaller, We are stronger than we think. Hazel - It's so…

@skinnyjeanzbound – Thanks for the welcome back. I think exercise goals would be great. Just getting back into exercise after an accident but anything to encourage me to get moving @midmodjen – Thanks for your kind thoughts. I am so happy for you. Being able to wander in comfort is fantastic. I spent 5 weeks in Europe and…

Holly, I too lost my son to suicide. Counseling really didn't help me (just saying) but a grief share group helped me tremendously as well as a suicide grief group. www.griefshare.com can show you where a local group is in your area. Talking and acknowledging your feelings is the best therapy for a loss such as this. Being…

I'm back for the umpteenth time. It's not that I don't realize the power of this group. It's just my health is up and down and when it's up, I try to do everything I couldnt do when it is down. I've recentlly lost 6.2 lbs but honestly its because my tummy is too upset to eat. I plan to go to the pool later today for some…

Debcountsall: She herself has lost some weight but mostly thru exercise. Thanks for the advice I'm going to a party tomorrow evening and I'm taking a large platter of shrimp. I'll stick to that, bottled water in my wine glass and I know there will be a veggie platter. That should keep my hands occupied. I plan to get to…

Continue to be motivated. My friend begged me to taste a sweet from her Thanksgiving dinner. I told her I couldnt and she said one bite will not hurt. I told her it would because I know myself and it would not end at one bite. n fact, it could throw me into a full fledged binge She said "You are being too strict. I…

Welcome to @consuelo73, @GOINSTD12 and @rinskeep1! The first step is the hardest but utiilize motivation tapes as much as possible. They help me a lot. I listen to one every night before bed and other times as well. Also, when I logged (even if I stray) that helps. Best wishes to all of you. GOISTD12 - I hope you are…

Really struggled this evening. Tired and wanted to revert to old habit of stuffing myself with food. Fnally allowed myself some blackberries with sugar free whipped topping and that took the edge off.

Wednesday Wishes - I wish I could be consistent

Did good today. Had to pick up BBQ sandwiches for workers and glad I put them in the backseat. The smell was so delicious. But I couldnt reach them. Came home and had Shrimp and raw veggies with lite ranch dip. Much better for me. Katrena

Didn't sleep last night. Had to get my niece to hospital by 6:00 AM AND I kept waking up checking the clock. Weighed because I have been faithful since Monday and not a lb dropped. decided not to worry about it. The great thing is that my sugar level has dropped and I am almost in the normal range. That is a big non scale…
