Well done Lisa good to know it can be done losing weight with our problems, it gets shruged off here as oh its glands you will never lose weight. I only lost 2lbs for the whole month so am not impressed with myself at all.
Vivienne - think about the 2 pounds and what is represents by looking a 2 pounds of butter next time you go to the market. Aren't you happy you don't have to carry that around. At least you are going in the right direction, even if slowly. So give yourself a small pat on the back and fight on!
Thank you all for your kind responses. Viv. 2 lbs. is good. Any loss is good. I'm just happy to not be gaining for a change. In the past I was up and down like a yo-yo. I was really in a good mood today and my loss has caused me to work harder. I jogged on the treadmill today and when I got tired, I started walking. The support here is wonderful and very much appreciated.
Everybody off for a long weekend today? Let's set out resolve to stay OP this weekend and have a good weigh in next week.
It's 98 degrees and high humidity out so no going out for me (asthma gets bad). I'll have to ride my bike this weekend unless it rains and cools things off. We are in the midst of a terrible drought.
I feel like cooking this weekend so I'll be trying some new recipes. I'll let you know if anything comes out good.
I've been reading up on Cytomel (T3) and I'm going to ask the doctor about prescribing it in addition to my Levoxyl (T4) when I go next month. Supposedly it really helps with the tiredness and weight loss. My doctor is pretty open to trying stuff so maybe he'll let me.
Hi All, Why the long week end is it a holiday in US? if it was hope you had a good time. I managed to get into the pool this week to do my excercises. It has been too cold oover here to warm the pool up and I havent got a heater for it. Hoping the weather stays in the 70s then I can swim every day.
No holiday in the US ... don't have any more national ones until Labor Day September 2. It's been so hot, I'd gladly send you a bit of warm weather if you could send me some cool. We desperately need rain. It has gone all around us. It's been too hot go walk, even at 6 am so I've been riding my stationary bike and doing my Walk Aerobics tape. We have a new Wal*Mart in our area that just opened up last Wednesday so I went yesterday and walked all over that place for 1 hour. I didn't actually stop and look at a lot of stuff, either - just went round and round and up and down the aisles. If you go early, there aren't too many shoppers and you can go pretty fast. After that I did do my grocery shopping. They are building a new YMCA only 2 miles from my house so I hope to get a membership and get in some water aerobics and exercise there. Only $28 month for us "seniors." What a Deal!
Did okay this weekend as far as staying OP. I just love this time of year with all the fresh fruit and veggies.
Hi all,
Temps dropped to 60s water cold again, if I was fit would brave it but as I am not too good thought better not. However I have booked myself in a massage on THursday. Never had one before its called a shiastu I think its supposed to open clogged channels and make you feel better. I thought my meds are not really doing any good so will try this out anything to get rid of mmy pain its so bad now. Will let you knoow how I got on.
regards,
Vivienne
