Hello... this is just a quick check-in as I need to head to work. But, I'm at least here and doing a small piece. I've been having some pretty big struggles and things are just not where they need to be. I'm typically always finding the silver lining - so when times like this show up - it's hard.... because it's simply not…

YAY... what could be better than having Penny, then Steph and now me... start this thread?!? THIS GROUP MAKES THE DIFFERENCE FOR ME!! If I'm not here, checking in, I'm not... NOT... doing well. And, since I haven't been checking in so well - you can imagine how my results are. Ugh! So, I am going to be better... I am. I…

Just what you said there Penny! You do just that... nothing else special. And, yes, that's a GREAT add for the intro o the thread... that and perhaps, this isn't JUST a dumping/downloading zone, while we want people to do that, this is a place to comment and "talk" with others... so feedback is highly encouraged?!? I don't…

We are going to switch over to a new thread in just another 8 posts... if you are the one to switch it over -- PLEASE DO AN INTRODUCTORY POST for the first one in the new thread... I'll try to remember to watch to see if it can be me...

Feeling incredibly selfish - but probably only do a Check-in Tonight and will come back to comment on all the rest of you... which, sucks, and makes me feel selfish -- but I can only do one or the other and my brain hurts, my body is sore... so going with the easy one. :) My Update: I've been pretty busy... started doing a…

Sorry, been having a crazy week... and should have been in bed hours ago. Just am really freaked out because I have an appt with a foot doctor tomorrow to figure out what's going on & to take care of something that started with the bad blood blisters at Thanksgiving's 5K. It's gotten worse & is painful, whatever it is...…

Hello All! I haven't really had a whole lot to post about lately... so, I just haven't. Not that it's an excuse... I've been in here and reading but... well, just didn't have much to say - at least not positive. I am a social worker and work in Senior Services - so I work with people who are older and many who are in the…

I would probably tend to spend longer time on a post, but? I'm freezing, my poor fingers are like icicles! My furnace is acting funny... ugh! Was able to get it going again last night but the connection isn't being made to get it to heat... :( Anyway, it makes my fingers more cold to type... oh, and? I'm super, super…

Hello Everyone! Was planning to start with my first Yoga class tonight... kinda important to me - working on that whole voice in my head thing - so I'm sad to report that I didn't go to the gym. Just wasn't feeling well - at all... Was the weirdest thing - but - well - yeah... So, I tried to go to the grocery store, was…

And Now - to Feedback... :) (here's hoping that the FIRST and SECOND don't make me sound too horrible! Eek!) FIRST -- To any of you who are saying you wish to "JOIN" our group... there is no "joining" to do. Not really. This is an ongoing thread. The IMPORTANT PIECES are that you need to BE ACTIVE not only in YOUR OWN…

OK... so, I am going to start by saying... I think - THINK - that I am finally "BACK." *big sigh of relief* I don't know how else to say that but to say that I think I might actually be back... back to myself, back to the plan, back on track, back to myself... did I mention back to being me? Long story short? I went on a…

QUICK POST BEFORE I ACTUALLY GO BACK AND READ EVERYONE'S POSTS... I wrote a blog tonight, and kinda feel good about it. If any of you want to check it out - the link is below. Much of it had been niggling in my brain for the last few weeks and tonight I took the time to actually put the thoughts down, in what I hope is a…

It's funny... I feel selfish when I can't comment to others and just post my own stuff. However, if I don't at least do a little, then it appears I'm missing... so, I apologize in advance, I don't have much for time and will need to do responses to people on the next one. My birthday week is over, and while it was fun? I…

Super quick check-in... hope everyone is doing well. I've been watching & reading but still have posts to read through... Today... is my birthday! :) And part of my day includes going to the gym... and part of it includes cake and alcohol. Figure it's a good balance. Tomorrow is my 1st of at least 13 runs/races/events for…

Not sure if I have much of anything new to share... I'm tired, and ready for the weekend! And, that's about it. LOL. ******* StephanieStC: For sweets/sugary stuff? I literally am ready to eat anything - even the stuff that I don't "like" - from days 3-12, then it starts to get easier... and, really after about day 17-18?…

I'm pretty damn frustrated! I know why... but... I want to see the scale move in the proper direction and get this "steroid weight" back off, and my ticker back up... and 7 pounds of it was gone, 5 of that 7 were back on this morning. NOW - I know that this could be TOM and that I burned almost 3,000 calories yesterday...…

What the hell is THAT?!?! Seriously... why post if this is what you have to say?!? I mean - come on... *rolls eyes annoyed*

Hello Everyone!! :) Please, make sure to come back often and start posting comments to others, this is our best way to get to know each other and get the support that we are all wanting! I apologize for those that I'm not responding to directly and individually... just that there are lots of posts, but so many of them are…

... hey all! I'm just still really struggling. It's the meds, I know that... but? It's still just a big struggle. So, instead of whining, I'm gonna just say that I hope everyone continues to do well. I'll try to check in more tomorrow when my mood is improved...

Couldn't help but LAUGH OUT LOUD upon seeing this... thought some of you might also enjoy it! :)

... with shakey hands, I took the steroid again this morning! ha, ha. It was a bit strange - to see how shakey my hands became taking the stupid little pills. BUT - I'm on Day 6 of 10 and I'm at half the original dose. So, I'll continue to taper and pray to God that this all just gets better and the weight comes off and I…

Welp, this sucks... I'm not usually sick and sure haven't been sick for THIS long in a very, very long time if ever. So frustrating! Anyway - this morning I got up and looked in the mirror and started crying... my face is sooooo puffy. My neck is disappeaing, my collarbones? well, what collarbones... they left again. My…

Super, super quick post... because I've been a little MIA in this thread: Hey all... this week has been - well, crazy! I'm way, way under the weather - and even after going to the doctor, I end up with issues with the stupid medicine. Ended up with some new meds today - to hopefully help that barfing everywhere feeling.…

Bumping for you... we are about to draft for the other league! ... unfortunately, I'm pick 9... really about the only spot that I didn't want... even 7 would have been better! ha, ha!

yeah, yeah, yeah... you BETTER get excited... stop being fed up, it's over, and it's time to show the love all over again! (I personally think that perhaps it's because you are an Avs fan and know that they'll be losin' to the Wings!! Much like Tyutin in the Staal (funny, fyi, esp with the profile pic) will be losing to…

It's not really advice... but what I think about? Is this...

Ha, ha, ha! She said "shockingly"... :) Sorry, personal joke but it made me laugh... Nothing bad intended for the poster, I promise! :)

Eh, really?!? I thought that he stepped down - with strong encouragement - to try and seperate his name from the Foundation so that it could hopefully survive. From what I've read and watched... they are actually thinking that this confession might "save" and/or "help" Livestong... Guess time will tell??

I was gonna say the same thing... still tons of money there! Secondly - he chose his timing wisely... he's not going to be facing as much as he would have even a month ago - because of the Statute of Limitations on at least a couple of areas. No - this doesn't affect any civil lawsuits, but it affects his potential…

Super quick update... I did go to the Doc today and it sucked. I just HATE the assumptions that they make due to a person's size. Felt frustrated and like they thought I was lazy and dumb, neither of what I am. But, they took my Blood Pressure (BP) but they used a cuff that was the wrong size, the really loose skin on my…
