Hi. I'm in the end stage of the process. They are awaiting some lab work I am having done on the 16th and then my team will meet with my doc. I hope we are soon discussing a surgery date. I'm excited for this part of my journey. Happy New Year!

I peek in once in awhile. Been single since the end of August when my bf of almost 2 years decided to cheat on me with a so called friend. They lasted a week and he thought I'd take him back. Been dating - nothing that has stuck more than a couple of months. Have a date tonight. Hope it goes well.

I'm newly single as of about a week. My ex told me I was amazing and awesome and deserved someone better. Yeah, that's BS. I then see him out with a friend of mine Thursday and she's also Nate's ex - a mutual friend between us (he worked with my ex and I went to school with him). Classy eh? Lets just say I tossed a full…

At my appointment last week they did vitals and I had my Fitbit Charge on. Their machine had my HR at 107 and the FitBit had my HR at 106. I'd say that was pretty close and was quite pleased it was so close.

Yeah, I figured I would have to make some tweaks to benefit me the best. My boyfriend is a car guy - he can probably figure out my stride. Most of my muscles do get used. I ride an FES bike - which is electrical stimulation to propel my legs. I ride that for an hour 3 times a week. I can ride it longer if I chose, but I…

I'm hoping mine comes tomorrow, for sure Tuesday according to Amazon. :)

I'm new to Fitbit - I ordered the Fitbit Charge HR and it should be here Tuesday. I'm excited. I'm a T1 paraplegic and use a wheelchair. Last year I wanted an activity tracker to track propulsions. I emailed every company that offered an activity watch and NikeFuel was the only one that said it would work. The NikeFuel…

I just ordered some cheese crisps from netrition.com - they should be here today. If so I am bringing a bag for a snack at our Ski Event tomorrow. They are buying lunch and dinner, but it's all crap like pizza, burgers, etc. I'm going to bring some lunch meat and cheese for me and a bag of crisps. Definitely will be making…

I love PB and J, hell I love PB just off the spoon which is how I am eating now or in a low carb tortilla, but the thought of PB with Mayo or MW - would make me gag. There's a guy at the accessible gym I go to and he eats some weird combos. He ate a PB and BLUE CHEESE sandwich. BLAH!!

I love this show. I love her attitude about life and embracing her size and curves. However, the last episode she was diagnosed with pre-diabetes so I'm hoping she will make some health changes and she does want to lose weight. I think she wants to be a big girl, but a smaller one. I don't know if any of the medications…

Ohhh good to know! Glad I don't have to give that up. I don't drink coffee often (usually because it's a frap of some sort) so I just stick to Diet Pepsi. I cut it off at dinner time otherwise I'd never get to sleep. I won't cut it out of my life. Yay! :smile:

Hi All - I just rejoined today. Was still getting updates from my new health coach, etc. over the year. I quit because the food was expensive and wasn't liking a lot of it. I just ordered a few things that I liked and am trying the mashed potatoes. Thanks for the tip about ebay sellers - I love eBay! I joined the health…

I thought Rachel looked her best during makeover week and right before she went home. Now, she looks GROSS and well, OLD! She's skin and bones! I agree that Bobby looked too thin too. I love this show, but this was a very sad ending. The look on the trainers faces, and the other contestants said it all! I hope they adjust…

I'm back in. I would like to lose 10 pounds in November. I just started Atkins the week before Halloween and I probably should have waited until that was over. I had $100 gift card to use at the bar we party at (lots of drinks and still didn't use it all up), making sure I had food in my belly so I didn't get sick and just…

I won the trip to Vegas!! It hasn't set in yet! I'm exhausted today. Here are the photos from my camera, I tried to look as evil as I could: http://s849.photobucket.com/user/kristina_allen/library/Halloween_13

Thanks so much! I will definitely post photos! My work pays me to write blogs about my costumes and Halloween experience so I will be taking lots. Forgot to mention one of my best friends is going as the White Rabbit!!

I'm going as the Queen of Hearts and using my chair as a throne. I build my costume around my chair and enter local contests. I found an old rocking chair back (friends idea as regular table chair was just too short) on Craigslist for $10 with beautiful details in it. I spray painted it gold and added spray paint glitter.…

Hi All. I'm Kristi and I am looking to start Atkins tomorrow. I want to be down a few pounds before Halloween and well, get this last 30-40 pounds off before next year's Halloween. I've tried different plans, but found that I lose the most weight when I eat more protein. I workout quite a bit. Been on Medifast for the last…

AMAZING! I love homemade costumes!! Bravo!! Can't wait to see photos of you guys dressed up!!

Oh I would be!! Go Cowboys!!

It can work and 5 1/2 hours isn't that far. I have a friend who met a military guy on his way home to Arizona. She was visiting a friend who had moved to Arizona. Well, they hit it off so well they became a couple and now are engaged. He's still in Arizona and she's in South Dakota. She has kids so he eventually is going…

Love Game of Thrones!! Favorite character - Jon Snow! I liked Robb Stark too, those eyes! I think Tyrian will rule all and be King. Feel free to kill Joffery off at any time.

I am volunteering at Jazzfest for a couple of hours for the local Paralyzed Veterans of America booth during peek time right before the headliner - Sheryl Crow. And yes, I am aware she is NOT Jazz. I don't know if we are running out of Jazz people or they just don't want to come here, but Sheryl Crow isn't anywhere new…

Welcome Val!

I think it is a cute story and I wish them well. That Ali is a good looking guy! Thanks for sharing!

Happy Birthday JK!! Enjoy your date!!

High five!! I can do that too! Saves a lot of money! And they have high tops!! It is hard finding decent high tops for a workout in women's. I need the ankle support. Finish Line has a lot of cute shoes!! If your looking for something new.

Wow, what an awesome update brega!

I got one last week from a guy...you are beautiful, can I buy your truck? I said no. He said, but beautiful women should be in cars...now can I buy it? I said beautiful women can drive trucks too! I said he could go buy a black titan if he really wanted one. He said he knew he could, but wanted mine. WTF? I don't know what…

For me. most of my exes have had light hair and blue or green eyes. I am attracted to guys with dark hair and dark eyes, but can't think of the last time I dated one. However, I've been noticing in a lot of the couple photos of my friends that they look like they could be related...like brother and sister. Very similar…
