I live in Florida, we dont have basements, ha ha! However, when we lived in NH the basement was a nightmare! There were small cabinet like doors that never closed tightly half way up the walls that led to dirt floored crawl spaces full of scary things. Also a "cave-like" opening under the stairs that was dark and eerie and…

No...never heard of it but if it works please let us know! I have been on both Synthroid and Lev... for about 20 years....and I still have O metabolism!

Didn't know you were going to have knee surgery...best of luck and many prayers going your way on that!!! Yes, I think 2X a day would be beneficial as long as you are able to do it comfortably.....DON'T overdo it! Also, I noticed when I added a lot more veggies to my diet I lost the weight much quicker. The key for me is…

Check out Dotti'sweight loss zone (just google it) and then click on restaurants. It will list all the restaurants, fast foods, etc. and when you click on them it gives you the nutritional values of most of their foods. This is a free site, and when I am going out to eat I visit this site and jot down several things from…

Ha Ha, too late, I found you this morning!! Welcome aboard!!!!!!!!:flowerforyou:

I love having them public. None of my friends have ever, ever insulted my choices, even when I go over! They are always supportive and give great comments......sometimes even make a few suggestions like: "I always drink a whole glass of water before each meal....that helps me get my water in....have you ever tried that"?…

I'd say she is not sure about the engagement.....needed someone familiar around so she could "gather her feelings". That night she needed comfort not sex.....you must be a nice guy to not have gotten "pushy" with her about the weird situation! Hope she isn't making a mistake settling for someone else. (just my thoughts)

Go you!!!!! This site is awesome. It gives great accountablility and you will "meet" so many awesome people on here!!!! Best of luck to you!!!!:flowerforyou:

The correct response is probably to talk to your doctor, but that would not be something I would do. I started this program in January and I am also 5'5", have poor circulation and weighed 231 when I started. The big difference here is I am 60 years old! I would always get a bit short of breath and a little dizzy, so I…

Some meds can cause that too. I was on steroids for a while and I would wake up every night drenched. Also am on Savella right now and that is supposed to be one of the biggest side effects...fortunately I haven't had a problem with that yet but I haven't been taking them that long.

So glad you are back.......I missed you fluffygramma!
-
Did you take your measurements before you started all this?? Muscle weighs more than fat so you could be showing a weight gain on the scale, but actually be "smaller" than you were when you started. Are you noticing your clothes fitting differently! Sometimes when your working out a lot and "getting in shape" you need to…

Welcome aboard! I can guarantee you will meet a lot of great people here who are always willing to add support. Feel free to "friend" me if you want!

YEAH! I like your thinking! Positive all the way. For an example, I feel much better about myself saying "I have lost 26 pounds" than I do saying "I have 45 pounds to lose"
-
I count it....heck yeah! I live in Florida and since this is the first year I have ever done any weeding, etc., it is new activity for me and has to beat my old favorite activity...napping! Anyway, it is 90 degrees here and very humid too, so when working in the garden I sweat just as much as during any other exercise I…

I would think a digital one would be better because you could probably get a more consistent reading! Right now I am stuck using the old fashion kind and every time I weigh myself I get a different reading so I always weigh myself three times and then average it out!

Wow, Your introduction to this site is like none I have ever read. Everyone else KNOWS they eat way to much and all the wrong foods too, and wonders how in heck they will be able to stay alive eating the few measley amount of calories that they are allowed! I started with 1200 and the first few weeks I was crazy with…

Ohhhhhhhhh you may have found out the secret to my problem!!! I don't usually eat salads, but I have been having one most every day lately and then adding extra veggies or fruit into my diet as well. Well, every single time I stand up, unbeknowst to me before hand, I toot!!!!!! How embarrassing! I work in other peoples…

If I take any vitamins, especially ones that have iron in them, on an empty stomach, about an hour later I feel exactly like you describe! So now I take my vitamins each evening about 10 minutes AFTER I eat my biggest meal of the day. This usually works great for me!

That happened to me once and it was the Sciatic nerve. My whole hip hurt and my let too. The pain was only on one side. Standing was the worse, sitting ... some pain, but I found that laying flat on my back was a blessed relief. I put a board under my mattress, took some muscle relaxants and took it really easy for a…

Good for you! I have been on this site since January 4th and I have lost 20 pounds already! Checking in here each day keeps me on track!
-
I have tried just about every diet under the sun and lost great the first week or two and then hit a stand still. I can tell you that I have been counting calories on this site for 2 months and am really seeing results! IT WORKS! I would stick with it. I know it is hard to stay in your range the first several weeks, but…

Well hello, I am from Sunny Cape Coral Florida....though it is raining right now which is a weird thing for a January morning!
