188.1/175.8/125

Hey, Andrea!

I wondered where you were posting...now I know. How is everything? Hope you're doing well.

I've lost a total of 39 lbs. since Jan 1. I'm a happy girl.

Do you know anything about the other girls from over at yahoo?

lol. ive been posting on the march thread til today hon. i havent gone anywhere.:) congrats on yr 39!!!!!! i need a miracle. im gettin really burned out. i almost thought i had 1, but i think its just a scam. i found a thyroid dr. near me that wants 1000 for lab work!

as far as yahoo, i think they lost the site. im soo pissed. as far as i know, jujujeter02 is maintaing&jaymesmommy is struggling like me as is tpartin&kalolina&kroseheart.

congrats again:)

okey dokey I found you! Sounds like we should just pretend we just started and, forget all about the past 3 months where we hardly lost anything. But, We didn't really gain either. So where still in the running. I'll take 1 oz at a time if that's all I can do. It's still better than gaining.:smug:

your amazing pet, ya know that? how is it that if you are tossed a "crumb" or 2 youre happy? cuz i cant do that.

No I'm not a bit amazing but, since I have soooooo much trouble loosing anything that if all I can get is 1 oz that still has to be better than gaining it. It's all mind games really. I have to tell myself that no matter what I loose its still less than I was last week. I want to loose 60+- one pound at a time. At this rate I figure at least a year.:rolleyes:

oh, you mean 1 oz a week. got ya. was confused. have a great weekend!

ok,

had a pretty good week. lost 3/4.

188.1/175/125

hey all.
i just finished my lunch of turkey spam and zattaran's paella. it was spicy, but good. spam is the ultimate college product....it doesn't need a fridge, and the turkey is relatively low fat. life is good.

i lifted weights at the gym this morning (just arms, cuz my ankle is sprained), and then i went to aikido for a few hours. it was fun. we did high falls, and i threw guys bigger than me. :-)

i weighed myself after class, and i'm at 158/159 or so. i'd like to lose 8lbs for graduation....that'd be nice....

when i went to the dr, i spent about $1000 for lab tests too. it was pricey, but i think it was worth it for me. i would pay the money to school, or to the car mechanic, so i figured i'm worth more than a college education or a car....

besides, once they do the diagnostic tests, they can see all sorts of things...my cousin found out she had a hormone disorder, in addition to thyroid. the tests kaiser had done never caught those things. you might also check with your insurance company...some may cover part/all of the tests you need performed.

my mom goes to kaiser for testing, and then goes to the specialist with the results. ask the dr what arrangements you can make...

good luck.

hey trix, sorry bout the ankle:(

i know im worth it, but i cant pay the $& he doesnt ins. of any kind.(i still think thats y). im hanging in to see where a low fat diet&my kelp will get me. take care:)

hmmm.
can he do just a few of the tests? man, it sucks that healthcare is so expensive. :(

good luck

it does suck. i cant take a few cuz even that costly. if i remember correctly, no lab work was 300& some lab work was 700?

weight
 

Congrats on the weight lose!!!! I have gained:( feeling a little down. I'm still working on making my hips work right and pain free. I'm thinking that while I'm down and gaining I may as well quite smoking..... The kids are after me.... I don't smoke in the house or the car. Sorry I'm babling it's been a week and it's only Monday!

its ok , you can vent! you will work through it all, just like i will eventually. my back neck& jaw are still out, but it dawned on me this morning that i have this aerobic video that focuses mainly on arms so im gonna do that for now. good luck!

hi guys,

i gained a pound:(

188.1/176/125

:) Aaaaaah so you found the one I lost this week. Well you know it had to go somewhere, and as long as I don't have it anymore...... Oh shoot you know I'm just kidding with you. You'll get back on track when your ready. In the meantime we're all here for ya! Just like you have been for me.:D

its ok. i know yr kidding:) thanks 4 the support (((((((hugs)))))

hi guys

well, my binging cost me 1 1/2 pound gain:( i am really desperate. we had a heat wave last week and i found out i dont fit in my shorts!

that sucks.
but you know, tomorrow is another day, and it'll get better.

spring and summer always get me motivated to exercise and eat better. fresh fruits and veggies are easily accessible and there's always fun things to do outside.

i'm gonna do the body for life thing for 12 weeks, i think. except i'm gonna modifiy it a bit (of course...you know me...) to be more vegetarian.

we'll see how it goes though. i'm gonna do my before picture this weekend, i think. if nothing else, it'll get me lifting weights on a regular basis, so i'll build muscle and raise my metabolism.

graduation is coming up soon, and i'm gonna start sewing my dress. it's a really pretty pattern. hopefully it'll look good. i'm somewhat apprehensive about sewing easy patterns cuz they don't have much styling, but i don't really have the skills to do anything buy easy.

oh well.

thanks hon.

im really havin a hard time. good luck on BFL!

:^: Please Andrea don't be so down on yourself. We all go through these hard times. Remember less than 2 months ago it was me remember I kept gaining and got so depressed but, you got me through it and, we'll get you through it too. Go to Wally World and just get some of those stretchy knit shorts that come in all those funky colors. you'll feel better and be cooler to boot. I only lost .2 this week. Oh well we have to get "there" anyway so if we don't loose every week we'll just keep trying. by the way what is the 12 step program you two are talking about?:?:

thanks pet:) (((((((HUGS)))))))))))

im hanging in there. 12 step? its prob OA. who was talkin bout it?

trixipup 12 week body for life? Did I read it wrong again?

pet,

my ww leader always said that somethin in pretzels affects peoples metabolism. as far as your questions go, it seems that people with hypo have better luck with high protein, high fiber foods. hth.

yeah, it's the 12 week body for life program. if you guys want to try it, just get the book from the library. it's not worth buying, unless you get it for, like, $1.

i am so sore from aikido. we did high falls and stuff. good fun.
i think i'm gonna have some popcorn for dinner (housemates are slobs, and dishes are piled up, so no room to really cool).

have a great weekend! mine starts tomorrow :D

have a great weekend all!

im gettin desperate. im soooo tempted to buy armor over the net, but i wont.

Hi all I did it I haven't had a smoke since the 24th. Better than that so far I haven't gained any weight :-):dizzy: My thyroid is under control but my hip still hurt. I'm working on that. Have a good one everyone!!

Hi All Do you want a laugh? I was at the dr.'s today and I actually lost 2 lbs!!!!! The nurse said that she never saw someone quit and loss!! The only thing I have been doing different aside from not smoking is drinking lots of water (4 and 5 liters a day):lol: Just goes to show that all the poeple who say drink lots of water to help diet may be right!!!

congrats housewife! thats awesome!!! hey guys... come join me on the may thyroid thread from now on. k?
