I tried it...I think at a Costco vendor sample station....OMG I almost yakked right there. SO disgusting.

Tomorrow (well today now) my family and I are going to a beautiful resort for a nice two day break...I took PTO from work and the kids are off school...well this resort has an amazing water park with a lazy river and lots of fun water themed things to occupy anyone. But-this means a lot of time in a swimsuit in front of a…

I think one point that no one made is that when you are way overweight the task seems insurmountable. It can be very daunting to look at what you truly should lose and think it is anything but hopeless. There are a lot of reasons and a lot of "excuses". At some point I think I just said F-it, what difference is one donut…

I count Crystal Light as water.

wow, I didn't think you existed!

Great idea! I think I burned way more calories last night on my walk because I was pretty much running with my dog in my arms.

that's an excellent suggestion, I think I will call the city on Monday and see if they can spray again...or what the spraying schedule is.

now I'm super jealous of you....you lost soo much weight AND you get to live there, it sounds heavenly.

LOL

Yeah....inside exercise for a while....besides in will be 110+ for several months. Sometimes I close the door to my office at work and do jumping jacks!!

see you next tuesday. find someone smarter than you to translate.

I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis which is essentially the same as hypothyroid for weight loss purposes. I am trying to lose and not get discouraged by slow results. I am on Levothyroxine, but my thyroid levels are still off. My PCP tells me the thyroid is hard to regulate. Going for another lab draw tomorrow to see what my…

Maybe just skip chick fil a altogether. they are a bunch of religious zealot weirdos.:laugh:

It is seriously disgusting plain...that said you could add fruit, or one of the girls at work told me to use the Crystal Light drops that you add to water for flavor. I haven't tried that yet but I plan too because the greek yogurts with fruit have too much sugar!

Hello and welcome. I'm new here as well . See conversations with the Denver Broncos logo (me) and bariatric surgery as the topic for some good info! I'm 5'9" F weighing 283 lbs...holy embarassing! But I have been approved for sleeve gastrectomy...we will see!

holy cow...that poor girl. I see people all the time who "eat thru" their restriction. Then they really feel like failures. I am really trying to do this right...to be honest I never really committed to lose weight before. So...now I'm committed...and thankful for the support. Thank you!

I am so happy for the folks that have bariatric surgery and don't have complications. I don't think surgery is a "quick fix" at all. I see what people go through...to say nothing of the heroic people I have met in the classes and support groups. That being said I have also seen SO many people who were either not ready or…

Hey girl...I will be here to support you. I have no homophobic or religious zealot tendencies so you are safe to share with me. I'm your height...but 43 years old and I currently weigh 283. I have NEVER weighed this much, even when I delivered a ten pound infant! So...we can do our best each day, hold each other…

I agree. I don't actually have any of the co-morbidities...although I do use a C-Pap at night. I work in the hospital where the bariatric surgeons operate and the patients stay after the procedure. It's a regular community hospital. I see all of the patients who come back in with uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,…

If you go to vitalady.com there are some good tips....it is for bariatric surgery patients but will probably give you some good information.
