Yesterday was a busy day for me. I'm having an endometrial ablation done on the 23rd, so had tests yesterday.

The gyno was supposed to just do an ultrasound, but he decided to do an endometrial biopsy as well - ouch! He couldn't get it the first time and had to do it again. I told him his nurse practicioner was better at it than he was.

Then at the hospital, the nurse in the lab had to stick me in 3 places to get enough blood for the tests. My right hand has a huge giant bruise on it from where the vein collapsed. Arrgh!!!

Falon, glad to hear you are getting something done.

Brenda - if you keep feeling tired, I'd suggest you go get your iron checked. You might be on the low side. Exhaustion and fatigue is the first symptom.

Hi to everyone else!

Maggie, you'll hit those 160's before you know it. Congratulations. Welcome to the forum and keep us posted.

Falon, I'm so glad you are finally getting some help with your son. Best wishes to you both.

Candy, weighing less than your husband is awesome. It took me 50 lbs. to lose before I weighed less than mine, but it was so worth it. TEhe.

Busy day today. Just hopping in to say and wish everyone a great weekend. I'm hoping the scale goes down. Tomorrow is official WI but I won't be here. So I'll try and do the WI either Sun. or Mon. If it's the same as my ticker I'll STILL be happy

And to all the mom's out there...Happy Mom's Day!!

Hi! I've been lurking around the low-carb boards for awhile. I have been eating low carb for eight weeks now, and have only lost 7#. I have the Atkins books and have finished the 2 week diet. I feel that I must be doing something wrong...everyone else seems to have such success and hiuge weight loss...where's mine (whine)!

I have lost 25# on WW and I have about 12# to reach my goal. I drink coffee in the morning, then have an egg with cheese about nine am. Lunch is usually a salad with either tuna or chicken, supper is usually meat and a green veggie. For snacks I have been having cheese, salamie, green veggies with dill dip or SF jello with cool whip. The only fruit I have been eating are strawberries with some cottage cheese. I have been checking food labels for carb counts...am I doing something wrong? I drink my water and I drink one diet soda a day-no alcohol.

I do feel like I have lost inches though I haven't measured since the start and I'm not hungry or having cravings, so I like this way of eating..but I would like to see some weight gone!

Any tips on what to eat or what not to eat would be greatly appreciated...

Hi Everyone, Well my toe finally healed so I can run without pain (YEAH) My son finally made it back for a week before he has to go out in his truck again. We are having a barbeque, so I will bring a LC dessert. I know hwat you mean about slow weight loss I lose like a turtle. 25 pounds is wonderful I know you'll lose your 12 pounds and you'll feel so much better. I hope your tests go well Hockeyfan7. That is awesome Candy that you weigh less then you DH . Hope everyone has a great day, Judy

Our church had a lock-in for the teens last night so I'm punch drunk (as in...little sleep). It was also a famine so I've not eaten since about 12:30 yesterday afternoon. I'm doing ok though. I was worried that I'd feel sick, but I drank juice (yup, full of sugar stuff) so I'm sure that is why I don't feel hungry. The sugar is enough for my system. The fast ends at 6:30 tonight. I'm going to have a chicken sandwich on LC bread And then it's back to "normal" eating tomorrow. Maybe just smaller quantities though
hi everyone

worked in my garden today and tomorow will be catch up for work and then go to work so not much fun but today I cleaned my side garden and other side garden planted some planters and well am getting ready for the house pictures! like a movie star getting ready for the big day! nobody will see it except me and my husband but we will know what it can look like! (and every one it town as it is the only plum house in town!!)

Hi Everyone, Well I was lazy today and did no exercise. Went to the barbeque and had a great time, I'm a little tipsy because I had a couple glasses of wine. Actually I think it is finally wearing off. Planning on downsizing the amount of grass I have to cut, because I want to landscape my yard. So I guess I'm going to be doing that for the next few weeks. Happy Mothers Day to all the Mom's out there. I remember when our kids were teens, they had a lock in at church, the kids had a blast.I'll bet the chaperones were ready to sleep in the next day. Hi Sandra, welcome to our group. Hope your tests go well Hockeyfan and glad you enjoyed the movie. Greetings to everyone else I missed. We had a beautiful day today, but a little cool. Everyone have a nice evening, Judy

Happy Mothers Day to all!! Hope all of you have a great day and have all your kids wait hand and foot on you serve you brreakfast in bed and all that wonderful stuff.

I have been up for hours and kids are all still sleeping so I do not have the pleasure of cleaning up after their mess, I have tons to do today and need to work this afternoon so I am off and running ,coffee is made and I am ready to get some work done!

This is wierd I lost my ticker and tried to up date it and can not get any tickers at all. so I will keep on trying hopefully I will succeed.

Ack! I'm behind on posts so no need to try and catch up. You guys know I love ya, and hopefully that's good enough. <grins>

Susan - I hope it all goes well. I'm not far up the road if you ever need any help.

Sandra - Glad your back hon. I'm sorry you had a blunder there, but glad to see you're getting back on track.

Andy asked me what I wanted to have for dinner tonight for Mother's Day, and I said Sushi. So that's what i'm doing.. It might mean a bit of rice, but i'll be careful if that's the case. Did I tell you all that Andy had hit a stall a few weeks ago, and when he weighed himself yesterday he lost another 12 pounds for a total of 40?? Yeah.. started 2 weeks before him!!!! *sigh* Ok, deep breath. I'm extremely proud but irritated that they can loose so much easier and faster. Anyhow. Everyone have a nice mother's day, or enjoy it with your mom's.
