G,day Faith, the symptoms I have for my bursitis, is I have lower back pain which goes down my whole leg the pain is constant I was on cortisone which is a steriod while I was on them the pain was still there but I could handle it when I starting weaning off them cutting down the dose the pain came back just as severe, old age does suck and I,m only 49, Ok your turn tell me a bit about you, your profile shows your photo and your height and weight but not much else so come on girl give. I hope you find out after you have your MRI what is wrong I had to go for a few tests before they could give me an answer the bursitis is treatable thank goodness but the arthritis scattered throughout my skeleton well that is just another bonus of living something you don,t like but you deal with. I,m glad you had something to eat and it was healthy, I love broccoli I sometimes toss it with a bit of light soy sauce and crushed garlic and cajun spices YUM. No we didn,t get anymore rain just plenty of strong winds I thought the roof was going to lift of at one stage it is a bit cool here today about 19 I,m not sure how to change that from degrees, all the grandkids are great, you have a good day too, talk to you soon your new friend JULS

Hi Juls,
sorry wasnt on yesterday, kind of busy day. what do you want to know? I kind live a boring life. LOL Im 43 soon to be 44. Have 2 children, boy 16 and daughter 11. A wonderful supportive husband, that I have been married to for 22 years, and a boxer dog. I work in a factory that is killing me. LOL and I also have arthritis all through my spine. I love to garden, have many plants. I like to read, especially novels. Both my parents are in bad health, needed to diet or I was going to end up like them. See I told you I was boring! Oh and I didnt do so good eating healthy the last 2 days. I am ashamed to admitt. Hope you are doing better than me! talk to you later!
Your friend,
Faith

You don,t sound boring it,s funny you work in a factory that,s what I was doing when I got my bursitis 22yrs with your DH that,s so coool I,ve been married 3 times 1st for 17yrs 2nd for 8 yrs this time around coming up to 6yrs hope I got it right this time, I love to read too I like thrillers I,m a big fan of James Patterson I like his Alex Cross novels, I wouldn,t worry to much about the not being to healthy over the last 2 days just forget it and get back on track knowing that your parents aren,t healthy and you not wanting to be like them is good motivation, I wasn,t to good yeaterday DH took me to the movies and I ate to much unhealthy popcorn and had : for lunch but it was sooo goood hey Faith why don,t you drop in on us at Daily checkin 11 it is in the support groups forums I have been coming to this site for about 4yrs of and on and these ladies are lovely I can go away for a few months come back and they still make me feel like I,ve never been gone. Well I,m off for a I would like to give you my for being here and helping me on this journey just to know that you are there is a big help. Bye for now your also boring friend.. JULS

Gday Juls,
that is so weird that you had worked in a factory also when you started with your aches. Doctor isnt blaming it on my work though. took me out of work again for this week. If I have to continue with this pain and keep working there I dont know what I am going to do. I will try that new forum. What movie did you go see? I love horror movies. Your welcome for the support, and thank you Juls for being there for me also. You are a good person. talk to you soon.
Boring friend,
Faith

Hi Faith, I,m sorry your pain has taken you from work again time off is good but not when you can,t enjoy it maybe you could look for something else but if the jobs there are like here that is easier said than done. We went and saw Jodie Foster, The Brave One it wasn,t bad, I enjoy horror to the scarier the better I love Vampire movies and I enjoy a good thriller too. Hope your doing well and trying to stay on track. Take care talk to you soon
Your Friend.. Juls..

Hi Juls,
Yeah finding another job is easier said than done. Time will tell. You didnt enjoy that movie with Jodi Foster? I like her, it looked good. As far as staying on track, that is easier said than done too. I am trying though. I wish I could get out and exercise though. What do you do for a living now Juls? tommorow is weigh in! Yikes Im scared! I couldnt find that forum you were talking about, looked yesterday for it! talk to you soon.
Your friend,
Faith

G,day Faith I liked the movie I like Jodie Foster she reminds me of Bette Davis I just love her movies I think I just found it a bit heavy I think I prefer horror to reality when you see muggings and stuff on the screen it hits home. Don,t worry about the scales if they say you,ve lost great if they haven,t budged listen to what your clothes are telling you if they are getting looser than your doin good don,t be so hard on yourself the weight didn,t just appear over night and it isn,t going to disappear over night either. For the forum go to SUPPORT GROUPS IN THE FORUM HOME PAGE AND SCROLL DOWN TO MISC GROUPS THEN YOU WILL FIND DAILY CHECK IN 11. Take care my fingers are crossed for you tomorrow. Your Friend Juls..

Hi Juls,
Well the scale wasnt good to me this week, but thats Okay because its that time of month and I always gain for that. I gained 1.4 pounds. How did you do? I love Betty Davis too!! We do have alot in common! Went for my MRI this morning, time will tell now. Yes I know the weight didnt come overnite, but it sure is easier to gain it than to loose it. I am going to try that forum again. Do I really sound like I am hard on myself?
Your friend,
Faith

Another 3FC newbie here just looking around and thought I'd say hello. I'm starting my 3rd week on WW (online) and weigh in on Wednesdays. Today, I didn't lose as much as last Wednesday, but still, a loss is a loss and I'm not complaining.

Good luck to everyone with your weigh-ins today!
Mary

G,day Faith, our weight can vary for alot of reasons fluid that time of the month and my all time favourite menopause LOL and 1.4 is nothing to get worked up over. Yeah you do sound hard on yourself, step back and take a good look at yourself, take a look at waht you have, a loving supportive DH 2 good kids a caring and kind nature I can tell that just by talking to you, count your blessings girl stop making weight loss a priority Yeah it is important for our health you bet, but don,t let the most important things get lost along the way with the weight. Your right we do have alot in common and I,m glad to have met a kindred spirit. Take care my friend... JULS

I made a goal, I want to get below 200 pounds before christmas, or close to it. Havent been under that number for 22 years. wow! with your help, my family, I know I can do it! how did you do this week? here I am babling about me and I didnt even ask how you did. well? did you see I finally found that forum? heading over there now.

your friend,
Faith

Hey Faith, I didn,t mean to make you cry, I wished we lived closer to each other to. I know you can do what ever you set your mind to, how about we make a challenge to try and get as close as we can to your goal I want to lose about 5kgs by Chrissy thats roughly about 14lb, so we can do our weigh in on wednesday like you suggested before, check in everyday with what we had to eat INCLUDE everything no cheating and give it a real good try . I did good this week I lost a whole 0.5kg or 1lb just hope it stays away they always come back and bring friends anyway how did your MRI go what did they find. I saw that you found the other forum they are lovely ladies but I still look forward to our one on one chats. I had a fair day it is 1.00 o.clock in the morning here downunder can,t sleep I,m going to make myself a camomile tea and read some of James Patterson. Take care my friend talk to you soon.
Your friend...JULS

Okay Juls you got yourself a deal! thanks Juls *hugs* Okay I was really bad yesterday because of going for my MRI, got home late and didnt have time to make anything healthy. stopped at the store on the way home!
1 piece of fried chix.
mashed pot.
broccolli
later craved something sweet and had some cookies!
I only had a banana for breakfast, because I was so nervous about going to the Doctors, so by 5:00 pm, I was starving and could of eaten the whole frigerator and stove! LOL
today is a new day and we are going to do this together! Im very excited, this is what I wanted to do all along on this forum. thanks again Juls!
MRI results-------I do have a herniated disc in my neck! I knew that but the other doctors were saying it was a strain in my shoulder! Im glad I took it upon myself to go to a specialist. anyways next week I have to get a epideral shot in my neck. Ouch!!! you get to have 2 of those shots and if the 2nd one dosent work then its surgery! more stress! out of work again!
