"If you're having the laproscopic surgery, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how quickly you'll get up and around and how quickly the pain goes away. After the first few days, I felt great and thoroughly ENJOYED the 6 weeks off " I had this surgury a year ago. No problems, except with walking very far. They tell…

Hi everyone! I am not doing so well so far. I had double ear infection, sore throat, ect last week, then my doc wanted me to get a flu shot. You guessed it, I got the flu!!!!! Unfortunately, I crave food (any kind, almost) when I am sick, UGH! But I am starting to feel better and only gained 2 pounds (lost several inches…

Hi Cheri and welcome back. A couple of pounds isn't so bad, at least they didn't bring friends!:laugh:

I understand exactly what you mean. I started here July 1st and I have NEVER been able to lose weight without starving myself. And you know what happens then, you just gain it all back and they bring their little friends! :laugh: :laugh: I also have diabetes and have been able to reduce the amount of insulin I am taking.…

I am with you. I want to lose 15 pounds by Thanksgiving and another 5 or 6 before Christmas.:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Beginning weight: 242 July 1st 2008 Current weight: 205 or 7 (depends when I read it, lol) Thanksgiving goal: 190 Christmas goal: 185 or lower (we'll see how Thanksgiving goes, lol) Kels, to get your…

I am going to be giving thanks that I can pig out one day and not have to worry about it. Life is to short to censor every holiday and family get togethers. And I just told my little angel to shutup! lol Linda

I love this recipe (especially on a cold winters night), you can eat a lot for a few calories and it is very healthy. Beef chuck, arm pot roast, 1.25 lbs. cut into bite size pieces 1 medium white onion ( cut into large chucks) 45 medium baby carrots (I leave the whole) 9 small peeled white or red potatoes diced large 3…

ditto What can we give to the kids (that they will like) that won't be candy?? Cause :noway: am I having a big bowl of candy sitting around!! lol

You are gaining muscle and losing fat. Congrats!!!

Hi Kathie! Glad you could join us. I think you will find this site very helpful, I know I have. Welcome! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Hip Hip Hooray!!!!!! Such an inspiration to all of us.

WOW!!! You look great and you look a lot younger too! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

CONGRATS!! Feels great doesn't it!!

God Bless and I know that your son will be fine. You have the best help there is.

I also have hypothyroidism and take a little pink pill every morning (but since I take a load of other stuff, it hardly gets a blip on my radar, lol). Hypothyroidism can cause a LOT of other problems besides weight gain and tiredness. If it gets bad enough it can cause confusion, stress, etc. Mine was so bad I thought I…

I went to the doc last week and according to his scale I weigh 9 pounds heavier! But the funny thing is that again according to him I have lost 33 pounds, whereas my scale says only 32. Go figure.

wanting to binge and not doing it. lol If I gave into it, I would be eating non stop all day long. Pasta, potatoes, bread, donuts, cake, pie, ICE CREAM, it just keeps going :embarassed: :laugh: But, this site and you guys are awesome and am learning to control my impulses. lol

CONGRATS!!!!! Get well soon :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Sorry I didn't get back to you all sooner. Busy day, what with exercise, daughters, grandchildren and volunteering at the grade school. Thanks so much for the good wishes and I know that everyone of us CAN do anything we set our minds to. My next goal is to lose another 40 (hopefully 50) pounds by Christmas. I don't think…

I bet myself that I could lose to 210 by my birthday and I did it a day before........ I have been able to cut my Lantus insulin to 60 units in the morning and am not using any of the Novalog unless I am going out to eat (in other words, hardly ever!). lol But now that my birthday is here, I find that I want a piece of…

Congrats!!! And aren't you glad to get rid of that gall bladder? I know I was. Take it easy until you are better from the surgury, then hit it again. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Linda

You could also be building muscle :wink: and as we all know muscle weighs more. When we weigh next week, you will likely find you have lost a bit. Chin up and remember, you don't lose anything worrying!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Linda

Take your own snacks and then sit back and watch all of them getting fat and you getting skinny and healthy. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Maybe you can talk them into getting healthy snacks, fruit, granola bars, etc.

No wonder I am so darn tired, I am carrying around a 2 month old horse!!!:cry: :cry:

Yea you!!!! Keep up the good work. Linda

Whew, what a mouthful! :laugh: :laugh: But I love this griller. We use it for lots of meals, even veggies. If you don't have one, you should invest in one. Gets rid of at least half the fat (if not more). You can even have a medium potato shredded for hash browns (110 calories) and a couple of slices of bacon (Kirkland…
