Kiwi- She was running a high temp. and was very sick. She has a UTI. I just got home from the hospital . She has been released but is still running a low grade temp. and has a very strong antibotic to take once a day for 7 days. She has to see the DR. tomorrow to see how things are going.

[Kiwi24]

What is UTI? I have grand kids and they run high fevers but have never been admitted into the Hospital for it. For them to have admitted her is pretty scarey stuff.

I'm glad she is home now. I know that is a relief for the family.

[Danni Marie]

So ya like my couch potato exercises eh?

Leave it to me to find the easiest way to do something....but it really helps for someone who has never been active or inactive (like me) for quite some time....

I'm ready for tomorrow!!!! and I am sooo glad to have found you guys....

Not to step on someones post, but a UTI is a bladder infection, can be very serious if the infection travels up the urinary tract into the kidneys...U (uriniary) T (tract) I (infection)....HTH

READY FOR TOMORROW and wanting to be FIRST in wearing that crown
I've always wanted people to bow before me ...JK ..well not really...
Let the games begin.......
See y'all tomorrow.....have a great night...not too much stuffing....it will show on the scale tomorrow...

Kiwi - Danni Marie is correct UTI = uriniary tract infection. She had the infection so bad she had blood in her urine and she was vomiting. Her fever was over 104 for a couple of days. She is doing some better and with God's grace she will recover completely soon. Two of my daughters have had UTI's that we pretty severe in the past. My youngest daughter had to be hospitalized because her kidneys shut down. I get the sometimes but not as bad as them.

On a HAPPY Note- I'm glad to see all theenthusiasm about the challenge.

I hope that this gets me out of my slump.

[Kiwi24]

Oh my!! Just thinking about it Scalewatcher makes me hurt! She is in my prayers.

Danni its okay to dream. Because dreaming is ALL you will be doing if you think you are going to get that crown from me next week!!

Scale I hope your GD feels better soon.
Aha... one more day to eat and eat and be not guilty.... then it begins...
wait.. I'm +12 hours est.. all the conversions are confusing me.. first the money.. now the hours... your Friday morning is.... Friday evening my time..
oh noes... I guess that's at 6 tonight.. I can still eat a pizza and some wings ( who am I kidding ... A LOT of wings yummm )

Im sooooo excited... but seriously.. I would really love to make a poster for all of us to print out and look at... for motivation.. even if we aren't posting here on the forums... we can be reminded that we have people supporting us.

How about some ideas? something funny? OR!! if you guys are daring enough.. I can put together our RL pics.. and every month.. we can update it..
Oh I kinda love that idea...

what you guys think? Let me know!!
Also Im updating my profile so anyone who wants to chat with me can add me to yahoo or msn

Im trying to get my sister on to this site... she's so stubborn.. LOL

[gordie]

oooops.. i forgot to ask.. are we going to have our own forum for our support group? do we have a name for it if we are?

[Kiwi24]

Yahoo its Friday!!!

Ready or Not let the games BEGIN!!

In spite of the cheating yesterday I am still at 196 so we can say that's my official weight! Since cheating doesn't normally effect you for 2 days after you cheat I plan on during some major exercises to make up for it!! I should have started cheating Tuesday!!

Gordie, I have no idea what you are talking about. Forum? Isn't this post our forum? Why would we change the name when we are already here? Eventually, the new post would have just as many pages. Check your profile and make sure you click "newest first" that way you get new post first. You can also subscribe to this post by clicking on "thread tool" above. That way every time someone post you will be notified.

Then again maybe I'm just misunderstanding what you are saying. I really don't know that much about computers other than typing on it.

Good luck everyone!

Ugh, I guess I need to get motivated. My weight this morning......228. I still want to be in the 190s by Christmas. Guess I am going to have to work super hard. Good luck everyone.

[gordie]

it's Friday EVENING.... but I did weigh myself in this morning...
Im a whole sexy 250 lbs..

Im really happy about being part of this.

Grats DAni!

I'll be out of commisson as far as exercise goes for this weekend. I did something really stupid to hurt my foot.


Sometimes I wonder if I use bugspray on that butterfly on my tracker will it help? hahhaha

good luck everyone.. may the force be with us!

[scalewatcher]

Good Morning Everyone - I just wanted to check in and say yikes I am up .6 pounds. I have been hanging on to the same plateau for 2 weeks and now that I am starting a new challenge I went up. I am sure it is because of the last two days. Oh well, My starting weight is 198.0. I'll be Queen by next Friday. So get your praises ready for me.

[want2behealthy]

Good Morning Everyone

Hi Kiwi, Danni Marie, Kenzie, Gordie and Scalewatcher

I am at 149 k ladies let the games begin Next Friday I shall be your queen We start with working hard and no cheating!!

Kiwi did you get it out of your system don't forget if you didn't I'm going to we still have a goal to meet.

all check in with all of you later

May you all have a great day!!!

Think Healthy buy still

[Kiwi24]

Kenzie that is 2 pounds less than what your ticker says. You lost 2 pounds!! Unfortunately, It doesn't count because we start today!!
Change ticker.

Look at the bright side. If you lose 5 pounds by the 27th and then 12 pounds for Nov and 12 pounds for Dec that would put you at 199!!! That is doable! Plus WHEN you lose the 5 pounds this week I am sure you would be Queen!! You can do it!!!

Congrats Danni!!! I can't wait until I lose 1 whole size!!!

That court jester was funny We should assign the person who earns the least money to wear the Jester suit. Example where I always have the witch then my name. That person would have to have the Jester then her name.
Oh I love it!! Between you and Kenzie, you guys are killing me!! I'm crying here!
