Tara- Love your point system only thing I will change is the rewards and the 35 fat (with counting points thats enough counting for me LOL). I really think this will help keep me on track better. been trying to find another thread with a system like this to keep me going each day. I've been really good all week NO slip ups Still have a sinus thing but I'm starting to get over my cold.

Andrea- Glad to hear you enjoyed your massage. I know what you mean with those tables they are really heavy. My sister in law left hers here and loading it up for her wasn't as easy as it looked.

Tara

hey tara...
youre not alone i blew it once dinner hit and ive no excuse cept im pathetic. youll be at 150 bf ya know it!

i cant take this anymore....im looking into a 1:1 situation where im held personally accountable....only thing is i cant pay more than for ww.

Tara- I was hoping you would say one prize for each 150 ...my husband would kill me if I went out and bought everything each time...although would make getting there more fun LOL

Andrea- I'm taking synthroid 50 mcg. I didn't take it for a looooonnnnngggggggg time. Last time I was at the DR I was yelled at for not taking it I'm thinking that is why my period is coming so much. Could be why I've been feeling so yucky all the time too. Need to take it for 8 more weeks then go in for bloodwork and see where my levels are. It says on the bottle to take it before breakfast on an empty stomach an hour before eating. My problem is by the time I remember to take it I'm starving and don't want to wait an hour before i can eat...that and I hate having to take daily meds...better get used to it huh

you could use your rewards as anything you enjoy...like maybe ice cream with your niece and nephew. Whatever you do for fun something you wouldn't normally do for your self.

off to bed....NIGHTY-NITE

Hey ladies,
How are you this morning? Andrea you all right?
I am not wearing my pedometer this morning, I cant find anyplace on my pants where its even remotely accurate. I guess I am concentrating on 10 mins walking today.
Tara

mornin ladies,
hey tara yeah im ok thanks for askin. im just frustrated and lost. sorry bout the pedometer.i think time measurement is better. i wish someone would devise a pedometer for walkin in the pool.

hey losin' mine is 50 too i forgot the 0 lol. i know what ya mean bout waiting thats why i dont. i eat and then take it 2 hrs after. i read literature that says its ok to do that so maybe try that? i am due to take it @ 2 today . thats interesting about periods....

Good afternoon Ladies,

Tara- I have a pedometer somewhere. Will have to do some digging for it. I will be going for a walk as soon as DD is out of school. I never timed the normal walk around the neighborhood will have to see how long it takes us. I usually used the pedometer for miles. Maybe I should change the steps to miles walked.....when ever I find that stupid thing LOL

Andrea- I was on .25 but still was kinda feeling crappy. My DR upped it to .50 and my periods STOPPED and I told the nurse... didn't get a chance to see the DR at that appt the nurse said to take it for 3 months get a blood test then the doctor will do what she thinks is best. She was being bossy and didn't understand that my levels were fine on the .25 ....so I'm going to take the .50 for the 8 weeks and get in with the DR and explain everything. When you first start taking it again does it give you headaches?

You should count the laps you do in the pool. I'm sure the is a way to look up your laps as distance if not just keep trying to beat your last number....man I wish I had a pool this time of year it's really hot. Thinking of putting my DD back in swimming lessons just so she gets some pool time.

hey losin- ive never not seen the dr...you definitely need him! i never had any headaches. I started on .25 also and also felt it wasnt doing enough. actually my rx still is for .25 which is why i go through them more quickly now. i actually had increased to .39 which is 1 1/2 pills and now im on 2&its almost time for a new rx so i may just ask for .50 so i can only take 1 pill. speaking of which, its almost time...

your period stopped? whats the connection b/t periods and thyroid hormones?

I'm not sure the connection enough to explain but if you look it up it will tell you some of the signs. Along with feeling tired and ETC. My GYN always wants to know my levels so the connection is there just don't know the details. I wonder if maybe I could ask about a pill and a half. I wonder if the half would help .... I think the two is to much. i didn't go into the DR about my thyroid I was sick so there was no need to see the DR. I go in august for a check up for all the normal blood work and stuff so I will get it all straight then. I had a headaches when i first started the meds at .25

Did a little better with points 5 this time...I'm working my way up

wow thats interesting.....

yeah when i up it i do so half a pill at a time until i feel it may be too much. i did pretty good too today...

Good job Andrea- we can do this

tara- how did your day go?

Hey ladies,
I am missing a lot of action here!!!!!!
Yesterday went well, 10 points. I am adding to my card 2 points per pound lost. If the pound is later gained a deduction of 3 points will happen.
Yesterday was crazy, my toy party came in and my living room turned into a department store met by a tornado!!!! Anyway that is all done now.
I did get my chocolate fix, WW some frozen chocolate cake, thing. I still stayed within my fat range and lost for the day. Anyway if you are a cravin mavin like myself, you might want to try them , maybe once a week or something. It was SSSSOOO goood.
I think I would add a point for a certain amount of laps around the pool. Ah the freedom of this, isnt it fun!!!!
Have a great day ladies
Tara

My headache seems to be gone today think my body is getting used to the meds. Andrea didn't get your PM until I sign on here I had already took it. That will work on Saturdays when I don't have to get up early. As long as i REMEMBER to take it as soon as I get up on the weekdays it's not a problem I'm not a wake up and eat kind of person I have to wake up a little before I eat. When I don't remember is the problem then I go about my day and think darn it I'm hungry and didn't take my meds. No more Oh wells skip it I will just take it after I eat. Had a good day yesterday with points. I thought I had the days worth yesterday I sat down and added the points this morning and i was 3 points under what I had though I like those kinds of mistakes. I did go for a walk but it was a short one. I waited to long and it was getting way to dark and there is not one street light out here Try that again today. Found my pedometer it doesn't record steps taken only miles, km, and calories burned. Only burned 87 better then nothing though right??? I really need to go back to the gym.

Tara- My living room always looks like a tornado. Not from DD though from the dog. She has a box full of toys she drags out as soon as you pick them up and shes in a chew stage so after picking them up comes picking up all the pieces of whatever toy she decided to eat that day. Need to get her a toy box with a lid then she can't drag them all out every day. Walmart has one shaped like a bone LOL Can add their name too.

Hope you two are having a good day !!!!
