...........I'm back!
Hope everyone survived the weekend. We had bright sunny weather, but need more snow. Don't know why I really WANT it since it's not one of my favorite things, but we sure NEED it, so I'll be politically correct and wish for some.
Things would have been better around here if our favorite ice cream hadn't been on sale and it kept coming into the house. Do have to admit it was good......so now I must tow the line for Wed's weigh in. Thank goodness I have TOPS to keep me staying alert and not getting tooooooo carried away, because I would. Oh, did I tell you we had a guy join last week and another [18yo] that visited, and he said he will join this week. I am so EXCITED to have guys in our group. They liven things up and put a whole different spin on weight issues! In the 10 yrs I've been in TOPS we never had our first guy until just a year ago, and now we might have 3!!!
Wendy, too bad about Brandon. DD has alot of those 'staring' seizures along with many others, but I prefer the 'gentler' ones any day compared to the grand mals. In regards to drug levels, we could not go by what they said was theraputic. We had to go by how she was responding to them. On dilantin, she couldn't be at a 'normal' dose without having trouble, but a much smaller amt that the Drs. said wouldn't help her, proved good for her until she got resistant on it. Each kiddo is so different in how they metabolize the meds. I wish you and him great luck. Neurology is not an exact science........and the brain is so complex. Your in my prayers. In regards to losing so much, it was just a 'fluke' for me and I was so busy that I think I was dehydrated too. You have done so well, and it is obvious that the exercising is helping you alot. Keep up the good work and don't worry about it coming off slow. Look were you have come in the past 3 months!!!!
Sherri, how was Megans program??? I bet she was a little doll and you were one proud mama! I hope you get responses to your ad for daycare.....and get some little girls. I prefer them myself. I hope the pain thing is just because of the TOM. I get mine then also and they said it was due to scar tissue. Keep us updated. You know we care about you!
Eleni, I am so proud of you for not snacking at the movies and being under control! The scale showed it last week and I'm sure you will have another loss Thurs. WEIGH TO GO!!!!
I would love to be able to see that circus troup. What a bunch of limber, wonderful performers! I think I've heard that 'O' in Vegas is always sold out. Maybe someday..........
Marlene, I too thought ciecie had answered your question for what you asked. Glad Shortstack was able to answer you more. Welcome to TOPS and hope you enjoy your chapter. Keep coming here and letting us know more about you. We have a nice small group of gals that keep the board alive. I've been here for 2 years...some more and some less. Join us here on the daily thread. That's the easiest way for us to keep track of what is happening.
Coco, Hope you are doing good. I read your post a couple days ago and dummy me didn't make any notes and I am spacing.
Please forgive me, but I hope you're doing well and will have a loss, no matter how little. That's what we all need to aim for right now!
To all our other MIA's, remember, 'IF YOU DON'T PUT IT IN, YOU CAN'T PUT IT ON! That tidbit is for all of us. Let's try to stay on plan and we will overcome.
