Hi everyone... well..here we are..back in the er for brandon.. he has been admitted for another crohn's flare up.. always something right? Please pray for my little guy!! thanks! Leslee

Thanks everyone! Yes I am VERY happy that I lost two pounds...... it has been so long I think I was starting to wonder if this was just going to be my weight for good .

and hey..I just noticed my ticker...a FULL 20 lbs lost!!!! That is a big thing for me!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it.. Thank you MY FITNESS PAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally broke out of my month long plateau!!!! I bumped up my calories a good amount....and even though I haven't gotten myself back on a set workout schedule I finally...FINALLY saw the scale budge... 2 lbs!!!! Yes, I know.... 2 lbs is nothing..but being stuck at 145 for sooooo long.. it is nice to see the scale…

eating... lol

boat ( LOL)

My 6 yr old was on the computer earlier..and I didn't realize she was playing around on MFP..... well she had me eating about 15000000000000 slices of pizza for dinner tonight.. When I clicked on the " If every day were like today" button.. I almost passed out LOL If every day were like today... You'd weigh 171314537.4 lbs…

Did it have mayo on it..that would make it jump up quite a bit

Yes I agree with the congrats to you! I can't even go near a drive thru because there is no way I am going to oder a salad while everyone else is chowing down on burgers and fries! So you did great!

Oh my gosh I am soo with you!!! None of my days are the same..and I get my hopes up by seeing that darn thing tell me in five weeks I could be at 135 lbs .. Such a tease I tell ya!

great job! I think you look awesome!I am still stuck in plateau mode..for over a month now. I'm not gaining weight so thats good.. I started this as a die-hard..working out every day from 45-60 minutes.. eating only my 1200 cals.... but I think I burned myself out. Once my son got sick and was in and out of the hospital…

oh yeah I'm right there with you..I'm having a hungry WEEK nevermind day haha!

For the most part we live off of Soy milk . I remember when I first took a sip of it i HATED it...but it has grown on me. It's hard because my son is allergic to milk so we always have soy milk and rice milk here but my hubby is allergic to soy ..so we have regular milk here too LOL..

don't want anymore!! that stork better find another house to drop one on LOL!

Happy Thursday everyone..this day is going by fast and I'm loving it! ( last day of work till Monday) The baby I watch took a nice 1 1/2 hr nap this morning and is now happy. She is usually high maintainance because she comes to me at 7am and is tired.. But not today! If I can make it till 5pm tonight my day is done! Going…

Aww thx! :flowerforyou:

Leslee ( me.. lol!! I'm always confused!)

I think you are doing a GREAT job! and you look AWESOME!!!!

maintain IS good..better than gaining right? I have been maintaining as well...for over a month now..ugh! But anything is better than gaining in my book! Just keep doing what your doing. This time of year everyone is bound to have a little waterweight!

Yes it does look almost like a cartoon character!!!!!! My son's cheeks are so puffy! I hope your husband is doing well with the crohn's and everything is under control! We are just learning everything now...and just trying to get it under control so we can find a maintanence drug. I have never heard of humira though...…

Hi Karen, Sorry to hear the news about the reflux.. That stinks...I don't know if I could go a day without coffee!! My daughter was born with acid reflux and sometimes has problems with it.. some of the foods that help her a little are applesauce, sorbet, yogurt, and bland things like saltines,pretzels, and fruit. I know…

Welcome to MyFitnessPal! watch out..it gets addicting haha!:flowerforyou:

Thanks! i'm not giving up NOW..came this far..certainly not going to throw in the towel..that's for sure :wink:

ooooh..good to know..I will keep an eye out.. that is exactly what he describes as a stomach ache too..a bad burning inside..not cramping...burning.. in his case it was even before the prednisone though..but good to know if I notice the stomach aches getting worse. that is the one thing I just don't understand... I know a…

Yes that's what I do as well..if you can't find it....estimate it using another restaurants nutritional information..like Olive garden...Either way..I think it is pretty high in calories to say the least!

Time to give your brother in law a good swift kick LOL!

Good ideas! yes..I have NOOO problem eating my exercise calories..that's for sure hahaha!! I am just hoping to see the scale jump down soon...because I am stuck at the same number week after week! Though this IS the lowest weight I have been in a long time so I do have to say..I don't mind the way I look right now..BUT....…

Thanks everyone.. yes I remember Brandon's GI dr. saying something about "moonface"..but I didn't think it would be this much!!! It is just so strange not to see such a sharp jawline on him..you know? He is VERY self conscious about it.. I know what you mean Viviakay about the Physically,mind-altering starving. I can't…

I hear ya there..I have been stuck in a plateau myself for over a month... But at guess I can't complain....so long as the scale isn't going UP right? hahah!!

Anyone have any experience with the medication Prednisone? I am just curious because my 10 yr old has been on a high dose of it for over a month now due to Crohn's disease..and the two biggest side effects I have noticed is he is ALWAYS hungry....and his cheeks are really puffy now. Like waterweight or something? He is…
