gotta bump this so I can go back and read all these. 55 here!

:happy:

i've had the shots - didn't last 2 weeks. and i have some kinesio tape i got for my sons shoulder. i think i'll try that!

duh - hit post before I wrote anything. you must be reading my mind. I just bought the rocker foot stretcher on amazon. $10 !! I can do that at my desk!

losing weight is going to help I know! poor feet having to tote around this 200+# ! and my shoes are new. and I have custom orthotics. I hate stretching, but I'm going to try it! will definitely look into the strutz! Thanks!

thanks everyone! and i wear good supportive shoes. I'm going to try stretching today. i told the hubby last night that i didn't want to do any damage, but if it doesn't start easing up this week, I'm calling the dr.

AMAZING! I hope to have the same story in about 11 months! :happy:

thanks for the answers. I work in the accounting field and spreadsheets all day - and macros to me are functions in spreadsheets. I just couldn't figure out what kind of "macros" were being used in calorie counting. but I totally understand the macro-NUTRIENT part! LOL! ok - so y'all got a good laugh today! I'm sitting…

my first week I lost 9 pounds. it know it was fluid - and I switched from lots of diet dr pepper to just water and tea. 2nd week was only 1.

my hubby has weighed the same (or close to it) for over 30 years. wore a size 31 pants when we got married. now he wears a 32. he does not get to give me diet advice!

I'm on that "100+ pounds to lose" journey with you. started at 230. ultimate goal is 125. 30 years ago, I weighed 115. it seems after I got married, I was always on a diet. I don't really know when I let this happen. as my hubby says, you didn't put it on overnight - apparently it took about 20 years. I'm so anxious to be…

I don't know the number, but I read somewhere that our bodies burn 3000-4000 calories a day just keeping us alive!

ditto!

my husband tells me that everyday. you didn't gain this weight overnight! but I sure don't want it to take 10 years to lose it! LOL!

my co-workers niece never made it out of the hospital/surgery center when she had hers done. Also, my son is an ER nurse, and has seen his fair share of problems related to any WLS. he told me that if he found out I was ever considering it, he would chain me down! so I'm trying to do it the old-fashioned way, cut back the…

i wear spandex (not quite as heavy and tight as spanx) that you can get at Academy for about $10-15. i'm not even close to my goal, but i've always worn them so my thighs don't rub together and get chaffed. they are kinda like biking shorts. i don't go anywhere without my spandex!

I've had to do this with replacing diet dr pepper with water. I could literally drink my weight in diet dr pepper. but it was causing me to swell, and since I sit all day long, my legs were swollen more days than not, so I decided I had to quit. yep. cold turkey. it was rough. but now I only drink water. I'm trying to do…

many years ago when I lost about 40 pounds, the girls shrunk as well as the band size. and I'm a DD/DDD also. I was actually between a C and D. I'm hoping they shrink a little this time.

I used to be addicted to the scales (during other weight-loss journeys throughout my lifetime)... but when I made up my mind FOR GOOD to get rid of this 100 extra pounds, I promised myself to only weigh once a week - Saturday morning, as soon as I get up. been at this for 6 weeks now. so far, so good. I look forward to…

stoshew - gives you that nice hour glass shape! :bigsmile:

today was the first time I've heard of it. I can see where it would help you eat less, especially when going out or when you know there will be lots of food that you want! however, I can't stand tight! my spandex shorts are about all I can stand! we'll see if this becomes a legit thing! thanks for the comments!

probably a recruiting drive going on at his gym. (just a joke)... definitely inappropriate - especially since you were with others.

I read something several years ago called the EODD - Every Other Day Diet. it seems it was something like you are talking about.

just now seeing this. PLEASE email me or something when you get your food/meal lists together! I'm about to embark on this journey - to lose 100 pounds. thanks!

looks like the group to be in - i'm 54 (but i'll be 55 in June), so barely make the cut, but I've got about 95 pounds to lose.

i'm 54, 5'2" and 220. I can't find boots either - well, I do have 2 pair, but I call them my "fat calf" boots. anyway, I lost a good bit several years back doing lots of walking. my husband says he can tell it in my legs before he can see it in my body. I was walking 3 miles every day and felt really great. I didn't do a…

truly awesome post. i'm going to copy it and keep it handy. thanks!

this used to happen where I worked once. and the guy that was doing it would even throw away our dishes. some that costs a lot too. we put notes on the fridge and still it kept happening. we thought it might be the night security guard, and after talking to his boss, they put in a hidden camera and it WAS him! we had even…
