Hi everyone I am stuck I want to exercise but am impaired everytime I exercise my right foot that has RSD acts up. Please exercise for me. I wam still going to try the stationary pedal thing. Maybe it will do something I have to try something. Rats.

It is nice that someone is trying like me. I have really missed you guys. I hope one of you lets me know what is going on with the turkey challenge. I want to try. I go back to my orthopedic doc in Oct. I hope I can be more ambulatory.

quick post here...I have not done nothing all this week except go to bed early...I've been so tired this week...I don't know whats up...I have a half day meeting today and then we are going to play softball...this should be lots of fun..lol...I haven't played in like over 20 years...

mscat--thanks WOW down 7lbs ...you go girl.. thats awesome....I knew you could do it...

Auuuugh it's midnight and I still have stuff to do! No exercise today although I was running around with errands all day. Plenty of water and ate great on my plan. Weight holding

Donna - I wish I could get to bed early - hmmm going to try that next! I hope you had a great time playing.

Lucky! What is RSD? Sounds like you are challenged but you know of some alternative activities you can do - So get going girl - YOU CAN DO IT!
Have a great day on Friday girls

Thanks for the response mscat. RSD is a chronic sympathetic nerve disorder that causes pain swelling and circulatory problems. It often mimics a fracture but is id by process of elimination. I have to us a leg rest at work and sit at my desk. When I get home I try to use a pedal (bike like) exerciser that keeps the weight off and gives me some exercise. Though my right foot still gets red and swells. But i continue to work at it. My sis is over weight as well as I. I try to encourage her to get exercise and not eat so much but she is resistant. She take actos and this new injection (lizard spit or something)to control her diabetes. Luckily she has not suffered any nerve damage or anything to motivate her I just wish she would try to lose so she doesn't end up having problems like me. Some of the people I have talked to say my RSD could partly be due to my diabetic neuropathy in my feet. Thanks again for the support mscat. And to everyone hope you have a good weekend.

Lucky - Kudos, admiration and praises to you! for not giving up and staying in the game. We are here for you

Now to the rest of us - if Luckymom can do it with all her obstacles - WE CAN TOO!

Have a great day everyone

You are such an angel for cheering me on. I can't tell you how much you all mean to me. I went to the endocrinologist why do the doc scales always weigh me more than at home. I weighed in at 231 but he says I have lost 11 lbs since March. I guess it is ok a slow loss. But I am hanging in there. I hope to lose down at least 10lb by Again thanks for your support.

Quickie Posts! I am running like a with no head! Got a great 30 minute treadmill run in yesterday in addition to my belly workout. Had tons of water today so far and ate well on my plan. Didn't weigh myself yet - will do it tonight or first thing in the a.m.

See ya! mscat
