Good Morning, Mommasitas!!!

Well, I actually got some SLEEP!! I didn't get much yesterday...I finally laid down at Noon and took a 3 hour nap but that was it. I was cleaning house and was on a roll and couldn't stop. Finally hubby yelled at me to rest or I would be sleeping at the table during cards, so I took a snooze. Then I got back up and finished changing the sheets & making my bed. I have this thing...I MUST have my bed made and my pillows about when people come over. Probably part of that OBC with the clean house syndrome.

Speaking of which... LOL @ you girls hinting for a "Maid". "Maid Noodles, At Your Service!!" Cept I don't mop or cook. Yer outta luck there.

I had fun last night!! We had homemade BBQed Ribs and Chicken and homemade potato salad. My friend made it with the light mayo and I couldn't even tell the difference. Usually I can cause that stuff has that weird aftertaste but...either *I* am getting use to aftertastes or it was a $50 jar of primo mayo. Hubby made 2 cheesecakes and was kind enough to send one of them HOME with my friends. I might of eaten more than I should if it didn't leave my fridge. We played 3 games of Pinochle. Girls won 2 games. Girls rule boys drool!!

Well, that's all for now. Hope everyone has a great day today!! Here's a rare blue rose for ya...Cause you know why!!

I don't know much about this, so pardon me sticking my nose in, but can the doctor give you meds for the low thyroid?

Afternoon Fellow Chickettes!

April99 – I made an account on that Fitday site. I entered my first meal for the day (breakfast). I find it wonderful that the food is already in there so that I don’t have to go and look everything up LOL well a lot of it is hehehe. I saw your post in our other thread CONGRATS! And your dress sounds dreamy!

Cathyxxx – Thanks! Also, thanks for mentioning that fitday site, I checked it out and I think this is going to be a great start for me! As I was telling April99 above, it looks like its gonna work out great for me.

Leenie – Thanks for the congrats! I wasn’t sure if I should subtract from the weight I started at (373lbs) or the weight that I gained after I started (which went to 378lbs). So I just went from where I gained and subtracted from there. After all it’s still weight loss, and I’m extremely happy hehehe. However, after this mother’s day weekend, I think I gained it back (the 5lbs that is) eeek. I need to get back on schedule hehehe!

I hope everyone had or is having a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend.

Catch you all later!

Sue…

Hey Joanne you are not sticking your nose in girlie - talk away. I'm all ears!

Yes, I started taking 1 grain of Armour Thyroid in October, and just upped it to 2 grains a day. My low thyroid symptons seem a little better to me, but not the weightloss. I have joined a yahoo low thyroid group and they all seem to have the same problem, even when they get the meds right (either armour thyroid or synthroid) they still find it almost impossible to lose weight. It can be very discouraging.

I have also found that most people with a low thyroid stay on some type of prescription diet pill in order to keep their calorie intake low and to kind of speed up their heart rate and hopefully burn my calories in doing so. I think most people with a low thyroid find that everything runs slow on them, their heart rate is low, blood pressure is low, it's like everything is just barely moving - at least that is how it is for me. No wonder I always find myself gravatating towards diet pillls (even tho I have not taken any in almost a year thank you)

Sometimes I think I should have become an aerobics instructor and done that for a living rather than sitting at a desk. That way I would be doing exercise for several hours a day, and maybe that would help me get my metabolism moving and get some weight off. Did I say that it is very discouraging?

I was thinking last night, and this is sad to admit, but my weight is the first thing on my mind when I wake up in the mornings and the last thing on my mind before I close my eyes at night. I really hate being this size, this is the biggest I have ever been in my life. If I can't change this, then I have got to learn to be comfortable in my own skin, but how can I do that when it is so uncomfortable to bend over, tie shoes, paint toe nails, and move around???

Noodle Maids, hey I like that Glad you had fun w/company, and how come you didn't invite me to dinner, it sounded delicious How are you feeling lately?

Cathy, you know your not alone with your thoughts, I too think of my weight every stinkin moment of the day, all the time no matter WHAT I am doing, yes even that. I guess for me it will never change, its such an obsession, can't imagine a day w/out thinking about it. Things could be worse though. Don't be so hard on yourself....HUGS.
