Lishar -- I found that you can share the free shipping part of amazon prime with family members. I shared mine with the hubs.

Carter -- I'm so glad it wasn't worse than it was. Scary and an inconvenience but a blessing!

Domlacha -- There's nothing wrong with enjoying yourself for a few days!

I had a bit of a whoosh (2 days now so it might just stick) and am feeling really good. Heading back to work tomorrow.

Today's weigh in 211.2

Packgirl - thanks for the amazon tip. I will have DH change that to add me :)

Successfulhannah- welcome

Chubbygirl congrats of the loss

Domlacha just get back on track.

Packgirl I hope it sticks and then some.

Diana Good morning enjoy your. Coffee. I gave it up with my diet coke. I use a lot of creamer and that was adding just too much to my calories. Now I don't really miss it. Strange after drinking 2-3 cups and 5-6 diets coke's a day because I was so tired.

Valerio welcome

Carter thanks for the advice.

Well I am up a pound. Probably because of my dinner and no exercise yesterday. I am starting my strength training today. I am sort of afraid to go into the weight room. I hope I can choose a time when there are not too many guys there. Most of my workout will be in the cardio room so that's good. I am not looking forward to the crunches or the leg lifts.

Good morning ladies! I am back on plan today and some of this water weight is starting to leave, down 1.8 from yesterday. I went for a short run last night and man did it ever kick my butt!! I am planning on weight lifting today and staying within my calories!

Packgirl--good for you on the whoosh, they are always nice.

Lishar--don't be afaird of the guys. Go in there and own those weights!

Good morning Diana!

Domlacha thanks for the pep talk. I was nervous but forced myself to go in. I have never done any of this before. Free weights kind of scare me. I did the sets and now am feeling kind of sore. I guess this is good? Hopefully it will be easier to walk in next time. :)

Hi Everyone! :wave:

SuccessfulHannah Great job on the 1.4 pounds!

Packgirl Congrats o the whoosh!

Lishar I also use a lot of sugar and half and half. Not ready to give that up, yet. ;) I'm glad you went to the gym. Are there any trainers that help put a program together for you?

Ciao Good job getting right back on track.

Domlacha Great job with the exercise and on plan eating.

ok...im new...got a question...what is TOM?...probably a stupid question...lol

TNCindy Hi and Welcome! :wave: There are no stupid questions. TTOM or TOM means That Time Of the Month, your monthly period.

thanks ...dont have to worry about TOM...LOL :carrot:

You are lucky. Mine is long enough for the both of us. ;)

mine were too...i say hysterectomy is a woman's best friend....but i dont like the hot flashes...lol

I have lost about 9 pounds this month. Not bad, but I am sure it is mostly water weight.

Good Morning, Everyone! :wave:

I'm not sure what's going on with me. For those who have been following this thread for a while, know that my thyroid meds/numbers were off. This year my weight has not dropped at all. I have pretty much maintained at the upper end of my maintenance range. That's not necessarily bad, but it's not where I want to be. A month and a half ago the endo changed my thyroid meds since my labs were over 10 and she wants them under 4. I know stress can cause problems with your thyroid (as most of you know, I lost my Mom back in June). I have also struggled with a couple allergic reactions over the Summer. I feel like I am holding onto a lot of water weight. I'm sure I am right now since it's TTOM. I have stuck to my food and exercise plan 100%. Next week I am scheduled to have my thyroid labs done again. We'll see what that shows. I am hoping it's just a thyroid issue. There's always that fear that my body has adjusted to something and wants to gain weight again. I'm not sure if that's even possible. I am feeling that when my thyroid meds were off, I had the stress of my Mom being sick, and she passed that I actually gained a few pounds. If this is true, I actually gained from eating the same way I have all along. Unless, it's water weight. I'm not sure if the thyroid will make you hold onto water weight. I assume it could since they thyroid controls everything in the body. Anyways, just trying to put things down and figure out what's going on with me.
