MARA... I hope you read this before Thursday... I am OK! got the doctor seal of approval.. but when my spot turns black again I am to go right away and say its an emergency so the Dr. can see what happens... otherwise he talked about my whole body to the Student with him.. LOL funny being a "3rd" party to the conversation.. but I learned alot of things.. Being blond..and suntanning all my life 56+ years.. he said my skin was good! :D SOOOOOOOO I had good news and you will have GREAT NEWS on Thursday!.. Please post as soon as you can when you are able to let us know that you are ok! PLEASE! :) :hug:

So I get to post weights now... tho I think (with my stress today) I will be up in the am.. tho.. reading my Fat Fast book again.. I am adding MORE fat to my food (Fills me up eating less!)

Thanks Ali! I will be good. I did some research and am going to load up on food good for healing. :)

Sue that is great! I am very relieved everything went well. I will let you guys know as soon as I can how I am doing. :)

Jessie the TOM always gets me too.

Sue glad you had good news from the doctor. I hope everything goes well for you Mara. Jessie I think TOM does the yo-yo thing to everyone. Sometime I just skip weighing for a few days so I dont' have to see it. :) Hi Kathy and Ali!

Good advice Monte on the TOM yoyo!

Glad you had good news Sue!!!! I'm sure that's a weight off your mind!

Jessie, don't sweat it, it'll disappear soon enough.

I'm apparently still on the yoyo wagon too - not sure why, maybe still TOM, he is making a slow and overally dramatic exit for the last two days lol

Kuselton.. nice downward movement for you!

Maybe we all should get together and plan a Whoosh Fairy dance! :lol: but.. she came back and smiled at me... hhhmmmm I wonder if it is because I am eating more fat compared to protein (as I was eating more low fat chicken everyday)...Fat is the magic! :) (good fat!)

SW 214.8 gggrrrrrr
7/23 214.8 I WILL go down tomorrow!
7/24 213.8 (-1.0) it DID go down! Woohoo! more tomorrow!

Man O man I made taco salad shells out of cheese in a skillet and then draped them over a jar for shaping..... YUM YUM!!!! I added MCT oil along with my coconut oil in my coffee and need to eat more fat less protein also.

Whoosh Fairy dance I'm in lets do it lol

Ali yay for your getting unstuck and heading down

Not sure what happened here. I did injure my back really bad Thursday night so maybe I'm holding water in the injured muscles. I also didn't take my vitamins, which could have affected it I guess. Because I ate the exact same I've eaten all week. :shrug:

Antonia.. I am so sorry you hurt your back.. Oh ouch! I have a feeling your body is holding water to repair itself.... I am so sorry. Are you able to move around ok?

No, I couldn't really move around at all yesterday. I had to have my dad come and take me to the chiropractor because I couldn't drive myself. The adjustment helped some, but it is a muscle thing, so it is just going to take time. :( I can walk around a little, but not much. Pretty much spending my days on the couch. Painkillers and hot tea are helping a bunch. Sorry to be such a downer, but being it pain sucks. :( Of all the things to pass down through your family, why did our family have to have back problems? :?:

:hug: to you Antonia... My family is afflicted too with back problems (My dad sprained his back in our pool when I was a kid and My mom has spasms = valium whenever she gets stressed).. My sister had troubles too. Me I am lucky... I got the good hair (everyone else is balding or did have very thin hair) and a good back... Just relax as I know you know that the pain will lossen its hold on you and fade.. It will! :)

Antonia I'm so sorry about your back, back pain is so debilitating and really takes such a toll not only from pain the lack of ability too be, I feel for you and wish you a speedy recovery.

Sue looks like you might take this one good job!!!

I was not bear as bad as I thought I was gonna be, did drink almost a gallon of wine by no funnel cake or chilli cheese fries, I got a hamburger no bun, had a little kettle corn and a handful of cinnamon pecans, I'm sure I will be up in water but started back on the right eating this morning!!! Time to get below the 60's and stay on track!!!

Not sure what prompted such losses the last couple of days – but I will take it! Lol

New thread going up!

Thank you Sue, I’m dying to see the 2’s! It’s been SOOOOOOOOOOOO long! Nice job on the walking too!!! 4 miles! Wow!

Montes, so sorry to hear about your back!! Glad to hear you are feeling better thought!! I understand all too well about the back problems and how hard that can be to deal with! My dad was paralyzed for many years b/c of his and my husband has injured his pretty severely as well. I struggle with mine time to time, but nothing as bad as theirs.

Jessie, nice job!! Can be hard to pass up those funnel cakes lol  But you did good to not go crazy  And back on track now! And not bad either, just 1 lb, you’ll drop that in no time!

Kuselton – great job! Nice losses!
