    Good for you...guess I'll have to take my own advice now and get "moving" just like you!....

    Maybe we can get the "Xenical Xanies" together and do a travelling roadshow? What do you think?

    I'm still feeling under the weather tho...back on my antibiotics, and up most nights til 2 a.m. coughing.....I'm exhausted, with dark bags under my eyes (see....I have to keep wearing these dark glasses to cover them up! )

    Tomorrow is tidy up day at our house...so I'll be "moving" around the house, picking up stuff....lots of laundry to do as well, and grocery shopping too....I'm tired just thinking about it.

    Anyhow...let me know how the dancing is going.....!!!

  • Didn't turn out to be such a good idea, only had one dance session and now I can hardly bend my left knee, so it's back to the drawing board with my exercise plans. Any ideas?
  • I DON'T THINK THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!!!
    Sorry about your "dancing injury"...that's too bad. I hope you didn't overdo it too much! (Exactly what wild song were you dancing to anyways?? )

    I am still feeling under the weather...and now dealing with PMS (stuffing my face with rice cakes right now...trying not to do too much damage)

    Bad weather too...really gray, cold, damp and rainy....best to be in bed, and not at work. Have to go home and deal with kids & dinner...they want TACOS.....of course I won't eat that...have some leftover roast chicken from last nite which should do me fine. The trick will be to stay out of the kitchen for the rest of the evening, as I'm afraid the "munchies" are getting the better of me! Will try to satisfy myself with microwave popcorn if necessary...but I will certainly stay upstairs!

    No I haven't tried any dance routines lately...maybe tonight I'll feel inspired.

    I don't dare weigh myself either right now, as I am feeling quite bloated as it is...will try to hold out til Monday!

    Now while no one has really said anything about my weight loss (about 21 lbs so far)...and I mean NO ONE....even me by the way...I finally did notice something! Some of my clothes are now actually fitting properly! I have a gorgeous cherry red suede blazer (bought on sale), size XL, which I wear over a black top & pants...normally I wear the blazer open..that's cuz it doesn't really button up very well...but now it does!!!!...and today's silk shirt is the same...wearing over a black tank top, but I could actually now almost wear it buttoned up on its own...this is very encouraging...and I try to focus on this to keep my mind off of chocolates!

    Hope everyone else is doing well......

    Later,

  • hi Frouf
    Not posted because I have been busy, my weight loss seems to be on the move again albeit very slowly. I think this proves that the Xenical wasn't for me. The only trouble is my doctor does't seem very interested in me now. I think I was the guinea pig for the Xenical, still I will show her that I can do it. Saying that I went to a 50th birthday party last night and overdid it at the buffet and the bar. Where is everyone else.
  • KEEP ON GOING!
    Are you still supposed to be visiting your dr monthly, even if you're off the Xenical? You go and show her/him.......I know you can do it on your own..slow & steady wins the race. ...and my dr. seems very excited about my xenical progress...and I'm sure once the "novelty" wears off, I will no longer be as "special".

    And don't worry about one "indulgent" evening! As long as you don't eat like that every night I don't think you'll have a problem. I know I overdid it this weekend as we ate out both Sat & Sun nights....altho I do try to stay on track, I know there are "hidden" fat grams everywhere. Trying to get back on track (but will have to remove this candy dish of caramels off of my desk!).

    TOM just over, so looks like scale down a teeny tiny bit (maybe 1 or 1 1/2 lbs)...will try to use this momentum to keep going.

    Again, wearing a grey linen shirt jacket/blazer today...did not used to BUTTON UP!!!...now it does....you should see the puzzled look on my face...as if I can't imagine how this happened. I'm still having trouble relating the weight loss to how I look, cuz in the mirror I look exactly the same but when I put something on, all of sudden it fits better...really weird, my mind has not caught up with my body yet.

    Anyone else have this problem???
