Hey again Andrea,

Have you seen the show "The Biggest Loser-Couples" ? Those people exercise about 4 hours a day every day and guess what -- even they have only 1 pound losses and even ZERO loss - - as long as we hang in there, WE WILL LOSE!

High five!

best,
b

hi 5 b! thanks:)

yes i love that show---im guessing paul or kelly. how bout you? a friend is going to come join us...

:val1:hi andrea! happy valentine's day!

what a unexpected surprise that Trent on the BL5 went home. I can't blame him. I don't know about his knee injury but I can certainly relate. I already had arthroscopic surgery on both knees due to torn cartliages and I can tell you it is painful. before surgery I was walking like frankenstein - legs straight!

who are your favorites? I like Dan, and the brothers, the younger girls can't seem to pull the numbers! I relate to them too.

hope you have a great valentine's day!

best,
b

hi b!

i like paul, kelly, and dan. i dont like those other guys bc they deceitful. i hope they dont win. yea i feel bad for trent but i think he did the right thing to tell you the truth. the guy is probly ready to lose w/o all the carp with the game play.

hi andrea -- yeah -- I wrote about my plans in the new post Valentine's Day Dilemmas! come over and have a look :-)

:wave:hi andrea -- slow and steady wins the race! i'm on the sidelines rooting for u!:cheer2:

aww thanks brun.. whats up?

Hi andrea,

FYI - I added you to my buddy list here on 3FC :-)

I posted a new thread called "What have you done today to make you feel proud!"

check it out!

best,
b

hi b!

whats up? yesterday didnt go so well but my consolation is that i had no lunch&i did have a ww breakfast&i even walked so hopefully that helped. today isnt gonna be much better but its ok we dont have family here that much. no lunch today either but a ww breakfast as well. i must 'behave' the rest of the week. last night we went to pizza hut and i threw back 4 pan cheeswe slices(blotted up) and 3 btreadsticks plus a adult sized pepsi&then later ate a small sundae. tonight im sure ill eat a burger n fries and knock off a few cheese sticks& a brownie sundae&then after that, ikts back to business.

can i ask you something? are you into supplements at all? if yopu are, i find phase 2 and fiber supplemments very helpful when eating out.

wheres that thread?

LOL Andrea,

I was so thinking of Pizza today!!! But, made tuna salad with sliced tomatoes -- just in the nick of time!

Sounds like you have lots of options for making it up -- that's great!

That thread is in the weight loss support forum.

hey b!

whats up? good for you! yeah i love my pizza and icecream BUT it aint usually followed by a 2nd fatty dinner like it was today.

hi andrea -- I'm so sorry, I thought I responded to this! It's in the Weight Loss Support Forum. Hope to see you there!

best,
b

hey b!

thanks:)

well ive had a bad 3 days so i dunno whats going to happen esp since my period is due this week but i plan on using the 4 i have wisely.

hey andrea,

just move forward andrea -- those three days are behind you! keep moving forward, even if they're baby steps. It's better to move forward with baby steps than to extend three bad days into four or five or six or seven!

you can do it andrea -- I believe in you -- cheering for you every step of the way!

best,
b

aww thanks b!:)

i am, im not worried about getting bk, im worried about what those 3 days did. the only thing i have on my side is none of those 3 days included lunches so it was basically a ww meal and then the fatty meal nothing else. i do have tom against me though. i did go for a long walk 2 of the 3 days though.

Andrea
Since it's just you and me on the other thread, I'll come here.

Bruni
Hi :wave:

I have things planned out today as for as food goes. I'm wearing the pedometer to see how many miles I'll walk. It's noon and I already have a little over 4000 steps.

HI GUYS!:)

welcome ceejay!:) b is very nice im sure you will like her.:)

hey guys, question. why do you think that people think that support comes in masses? i guess they dont realize its quality that counts!
i went for a walk to calm myself down before i exploded and burned some of those treats off at the same time.

do either of you use alli, chitosan or phase 2?

Andrea
I've been reading some of the other posts. Here is what I take, a multivitamin, calcium and magnesium and since I'm 57 and heart disease runs in my mom's family I take Omega 3 and 6. I also take a baby aspirin. The dr knows about these meds. I'm also hypothyroid and have high blood pressure. I haven't used alli chitosan or phase 2.

http://www.postsmile.com/img/emotions/91.gif Hi CeeJay, Welcome!

Ladies - don't get me started on taking diet pills --http://www.postsmile.com/img/emotions/140.gif I was foolish enough to use DEXATRIM when I was in my twenties -- and I suspect that that diet stuff messed up my metabolism! What in the world was I thinking!http://www.postsmile.com/img/emotions/151.gif

I suffer from Hypothyroidism too Ceejay --http://www.postsmile.com/img/emotions/115.gif as evidenced by the fact that for the past three weeks my weight loss is stalled! Arrggghhh!

So please, be very careful about those so called diet aids!http://www.postsmile.com/img/emotions/210.gif

We'll break through if we keep on doing the work -- WE CAN DO THIS!http://www.postsmile.com/img/emotions/90.gif

best,
b

hi guys!

wow im hypo too i take synthroid along with some throid supplents. it really helps. chito and p 2 arent diiet pills, but youre right-alli is. i dont take alli i just thought id ask. i only take the other 2 1x a week-it helps me get through my sat. nights. my roughest time with no side effects.

as per my thyroid, i blame it on my stupid (low, but still) benzo. i tried to get off of it recently, and it just aint happenin'. i was sleep deprived within 4 days of cutting down--not even off of it.

out of curiosity, were either of you on any benzo's or ssri's or anything prior to your thyroid trouble? i read a whole full thread on the ww board of ppl who are hypo and were on those so i say it cant be coincidence.

Andrea
I'm not sure what benzo is, a sleeping pill? My doctor doesn't know this yet but I've switched to L-tyroisine and kelp for my thyroid problem. My tsh is either extremely high or off the chart low. L-tyrosine is for nerves which has really helped me. I 've only started this after my last tsh check.

I blame my weight problem on my thyroid condition also. Most all of my other test turn out extremely good so I know that I'm doing something right. I don't like to keep my calorie at 1200 so I'm shooting for 1500. Exercise is the key for me.

Alli is the only diet pill that my doctor has asked me to try. You really have to watch the fat grams or you will be in the bathroom more than you want. I chose not to do this.

b--love all those smilies. You are correct. We can do this if we put our minds to it.

What diet plan are the two of you using?

Water did the trick for me this week. I'm down to 181.2 pounds. I think there are two things I need to do and that is to watch my sodium intake and
increase my water intake.

hey ceejay, you know what? i take 2000 mgs of tyrosine i=on an empty stomache along w a special thyroid supplement so i know it helps. i also take 100mcg of synthyroid.

im not on alli. chitosan is not alli. its chitosan and i only take it 1x a week w no side effects. i despise alli.

ceejay, im on ww core

and i think B counts calories.

Andrea
What supplements are you taking? I've read that B6 is good. I've started out with the 500 mg of L-Tyrosine.

hi ceejay!

i read 2000 is ok, but not much more.

its a special formula called biotics research GTA forte 2:

its great, but its expensive and can only be gotten from a health care person or online @ spinelife dot com i take 4 a day on an empty belly same with the tyrosine-empty

Andrea
I'm supposed to be doing WW online but never use it. I might try core if you don't have to count calories.

Thanks for the information.
