I started crying as I drove away from the clinic, happy tears, tears of disbelief. I'm pretty freaking happy. Thank you all for the help and support it has made a huge difference for me.
Have a great OP Day!
I have to ask, did you weigh in wearing skivvies????
Seriously though, congratulations! You should be so proud of what you've accomplished, and motivated to see what more you can do.

I'd say ask a doctor, who is the bone specialist? Ummm Osteo...um..dangit...Osteopathologist if it's related to the bones. I don't see how exercise would irritate it more, but maybe instead of high intensity something low, like water walking or yoga etc.?

Oh sweety, I'm so sorry your step-father passed
My grandfather turns 91 in June, only a little over a week away actually, and recently had a pace maker put in. The surgery ended him in the hospital and then physical therapy for over a month to regain strength in his arm. He is still all mentally there though, which is a blessing. It's hard to see sometimes he gets very angry and bitter (had a stroke a few years back and now swears and such, very different from him normally) and it's hard to bring him back from that ledge (all his generation, siblings, wife, cousins as well as some of his children have passed away).

Karen~ Kudos for being accountable. We'll get through this together! A donut may be evil, but remember, this is a lifestyle, not just a fad, so we'll all have slip ups, what matters is what you do NEXT, and it sounds like what YOU did next was just right
Keep your chin up lady

There were a few people that STILL go there and sit in the SAME chairs I remembered them sitting in. A few of them were shocked to see me. Anyways, It was ladies night so ladies drink FREE. I went to the bar and asked for a bottle of water, the bartender looked at me kinda crazy and said ummmm ok here ya go. My friend, who is OP, asked for a vodka and pineapple juice, I looked at her with a pair of eyes and she said "what its FREE"....I said just because its FREE doesn't mean you have to have it. She said you are right but got the drink anyways....lol...I sat and people watched, drinking my water while she drank her drinks. Needless to say I am happy with my choices of 6 bottles of water to her 6 drinks.....lol..So next week when we weigh in I will lose my 1lb and we will see what she will lose.....lol
LOL oh Wuv you crack me up. Was it you who mentioned someone who was IP a couple weeks ago who was snacking at some reunion or something? I can totally see this happening

The one with me and my friend Jeanie playing music was about a year ago, 4 months into the program, but you get the idea...
PS: CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY MY PROFILE PHOTO AND SIGNATURE PHOTO ARE NOT SHOWING UP IN THE POST? DO I HAVE TO TELL IT THAT?
You have to "insert" picture like you would in a post, ends up using HTML coding to insert it, and it'd be something like [I MG]/blahblahblahwww.findphoto.com[/IM G] looking in the end
