Beautiful in Your Skin Month?
Good news...biopsy came back normal. PHEW. Glad that is over with!
I've been thinking a lot about why I'm having such difficulty with weight loss this time around, even with (relatively) clean eating and regular exercise. The only difference I can come up with is the new meds for "probable" Crohn's disease. I say probable because I'm basically a-symptomatic and I notice no difference on or off the meds. Dr. said I could take them or not, up to me. Having other family members with Crohn's and seeing the consequences of going untreated , I've opted to take them to head off long term damage. But I may reassess that, for a short period of time, to test if it's affecting my weight loss. I've read everything I can, but have found no indication that it's supposed to affect it one way or the other...but that doesn't mean it can't. So...I'm on day 2 of no meds. I'll reassess in a couple of weeks.
Crow: Glad to have you back and that you're feeling better again!
2FatCats: Sorry about your pulled butt...I mean glute. I never cease to be amazed at how our bodies communicate with us. 40 pounds gone?? AWESOME!!! Congrats on that!
newleaf123: Doesn't sound like too much damage was done and I know you'll get right back down. Glad you have your house back!!
Sum38: HA! I love the idea of a 20-something challenge. We should plan ahead for the fall and be in training until then.
love2b150: Welcome to the group. Glad to have you aboard.
Jennifer1966: Quite the challenge you've got going. Rock it, girl!
Carma: Crunch vs. plank...girly vs. stair push-ups. Oh, the decisions.
Better than chocolate vs. strawberry ice cream, right? (except for 2FatCats who likes her S'more's ice cream!)
mboo: Good goals!
LindaWW: Family gatherings can be the worst! Sounds like you have a good plan in place.
