Hi for the second time, This stupid computer just lost my first post or maybe it is the person that is typing it. Slavika I would have had a heart attack in the chair when the dentist said $20,000. That is unreal. Glenda a dr. on Oprah the other said to eat most of your food in the morning at at lunch and to eat lightly in the evening. I only saw that 5 minutes of the show but something like that might help. Try doing some different exercise. Geri I have free internet. For some reason I don't get the banners and ads. I am not complaining. I don't know why I don't. Maria enjoy the luxury while you can. It sounds soooo nice. Good going on your weight loss group. My arthritic finger hurts from typing. Have a good night, Peggy
Peggy I saw that Oprah program, it was about Menopause. They said if you eat your larger meal at lunch and had the smaller meal at supper, you could lose weight easier. I personally feel better when I have a lighter supper, but I haven't noticed any loss. Lily check your e-mail.. HELP! I haven't been getting any more e-mail confirmations on the posts. But I do want to be notified when there is a PM for me, I click YES and when I come back it will say NO Carree The first HRT I had was Estriol, and Prometriem, now they didn't work for me. I was very edgy and had headaches taking it, and that surprised the Doc. Anyway now I take CES Conjugated Estrogen and Medroxy and have no problems at all. Sometimes I think it is trial and error to see what works for you. Hi Geri...YES, you were missed. Don't go away anymore . We have DSL for our Internet Service and like it. It is a very fast connection. On one of the other sites someone said they liked the homemade BBC better than the bought ones too. WTG ... on program for 32 days.
A Porno sight called 3fatchicks? We had better warn anyone we tell to come here for information. Glenda I think you will have more success with a morning weigh in. Isn't it frustrating to rely on the number, I keep telling myself not to do that, but...... Maria I have heard about the book "White Swans", it is on my read list. Now that I know someone else liked it I will see if the Library has it. You are going to become a "Lady of Leisure" in Sydney. That sounds good to me. Slavika I forgot you don't drink coffee and that you are a tea lover .
As I am posting, I read just below and see Options: and a Show Signature box, and below that .. Attach File, is that where you add the signature to the post? If I put a picture and text in My Documents and then click on Browse would the Signature come there? I'll bet Lily knows the answer???????
Hi Everybody Geri I missed you. Thanks for your input about the Baker cookies. Livingfit LOL I can imagine the co-workers face when she first visited the site that "YOU" gave her the address to. That is too funny, and to tell her you spend a lot of time there, lol lol Trudy Am I the only one who see's the humor in your avatar....an ice-cream cone on a weight loss board. Only you my friend, only you....I love it Peggy I guess you know that I have no intention of spending $20,000.00 on my teeth. LOL. Geez ALL my body parts don't add up to that. I guess when he came up with that amount of money, half would have been used up to undo the old work, and to make up a temporary bridge while the work was being done. Then he would have had to do 5 root canals over again with their caps and then make a permanent bridge. I'll just do what he said, go in every three months or so for a cleaning on them and try and hang on to them as long as I can. I have to use one of those little "proxabrushs". Well that is probably more information then any of you wanted to know about my teeth. LOL Carree I am taking Ogen 0.75mg (Estropipate) .
and then I also take Gen Medroxy 10 mg (Medroxyprogesterone ). I take the Ogen for 60 days and then the Progesterone for 10 days. I have been on the same medication for 4 years and no problems. I have never tried anything else.
Well I had my hair cut today, and must say I'm looking rather "fine". So if any of you see this silver haired gal
with a rather youthful hair cut cleaning her teeth with a little proxabrush in a McDonalds somewhere.....It's me.
Trudy I just sent you an email. I take it this is the image you want to use? Ignore the first one. The second one will tell you that the feature to use the Image in the signature is turned off.
Geri: I have DSL and love it. It is more money so DH might not want to go that route. But it is fast and I wouldnt go back to dial up for nothing.
Caree: I have been on Estrogen since I was 35. I had it removed back then due to problems. I take a mild tablet daily and have since then. Im so use to it now I havent even bothered to check out any of the Natural ones. So Im no help there!
Trudy: For the Private messaging you need to go under Edit Options. Make sure Enable Private Messaging is marked with a Yes. You can also mark the Email notifaction with a yes or No and the Send you a pop up box when you get a message Yes or no. The box will pop up if you are on the message board and you have a private message. It will not pop up if you are not on the board. Its a nice feature. I would mark yes to enable and yes to this. But leave the email at No if you dont want an email sent. Then click submit Modifactions at the bottom.
The light at the bottom will also show if you have a private message. Love your ice cream cone! Its very cute!
Slavika: I kinda figure Trudy would come up with something like the Ice Cream cone. Then she wants an an angel at the bottom. Think people will believe her? We will tell them the truth and set them straight. (Just kidding Trudy!!) I have a proxabrush to! I also have to go in every 6 months. Hate it! But its better than your 3 months. Ill meet you at McDonalds with my proxabrush! Will have an Ice Cream cone with Trudy! LOL!
Long time, no post--geez this whole thing is getting so huge!!
I have been bummed out over a lot of things the last few months, but at least have maintained. I need to go back aways and catch up on you guys. Nice to "see" you all.
I see Geri is back, and I know she was gone awhile!!
Hope you are all having a more exciting Saturday night than I am. Nothing exciting is happening here. Was that you I saw in McDonald's Slavika. There was a silver haired gal in the playland brushing her teeth. Lily thanks for the avatar lesson - I finally figured it out. Carree I take Premarin. Going to ask about the soy when I go next month. I hate taking anything. I like your ice cream cone Trudy. It makes me want one. Geri, 32 day op - good for you. Everyone have a great Sunday Peggy
Peggy, it's a dull Saturday night here as well. Thanks to all of you for your replies re: HRT. BTW: have any of you noticed that since menopause, your appetite isn't what it used to be. I mean, I have no cravings and really only eat now when I am hungry.
This has led me to wonder if I take estrogen (even a "natural" estrogen, wouldn't my appetite increase?
I am so tired of looking at snow. I think this is one Spring that all of us here in New England will cherish.
Hi Everybody
Hi there Vickie nice to "see" you again. What have you been up to? Peggy I love your little doggie. If that little silver haired gal you saw had a double order of fries it was probably me.
My grandchildren were here for a "fast food" type dinner and when DH and I were out earlier we bought a big bag of "cotton candy". When I showed the kids what I had for dessert , well, you have never seen such happy kids. LOL LOL I was pretty happy to have some candy cotton too.
Vickie: Good to see you back! Been quite a while, you have been missed!
Peggy: Love your doggie. Wish I had a real one Something me and DH can never agree on.
Carree: I think it really depends on the person. Wish I could help you. But being on it for so long I cant say. Hopefully someone else can.
Slavika: I can image those kids eyes when you showed them the Cotton Candy. They probably thought they were in heaven! I havent had it in years. But its not suppose to be that bad point wise. Is it? I know kids love it, and it is fun to watch them make it.
We watched a cute movie tonight. It was "Meet the Parents" with Ben Stiller. It was really cute. Well worth getting. Really funny but mushy to. And Dh like it
Peggy, I take Prempro and haven't had any problems with it. I would love to know some info re: the natural hormones. I don't know anybody who takes them. I love your dog too.
Maria, type in your actual time the next time you post please. I have been trying to figure out where you are in relation to us. You might ought to tell the day too because that could be different. I am 6 hours behind GMT and I had figured you as well as I could to be be 15 hours in front of us. If you post your actual time, and the board tell the GMT, I should be able to work it out right.
Vickie, sure am glad to see you. You have been missed.
Does the bold work the same way it did on the old board? How do you work the spell check? Every time I've tried it I lose my post. I can't figure out how to end it and then send it properly. Lily, help!!!!!!!
Where are you guys finding the cute little gizmos under your name. I won't even try to put one up. Who knows what would happen.
I am so glad somebody else had the problem with the porno site. When I told my husband what happened I don't think he believed me. He thought I had typed in something wrong. But I didn't. I double-checked before I zapped it. If that ever happens at the gym, I will curl up and die.
I wish my appetite had decreased when I hit menopause. Unfortunately, nothing ever affects it. I have a big one. Always have and guess I always will.
I was the last one to say good night and now I am the first to greet the morning. See, I tell you I don't sleep much.
I weighed today and have been trying to find the last thread where I had posted my progess (or lack of) toward the 30# challenge. Some of our posts have disappeared. So I went back to weight commander to try and reconstruct it. Happy to report a loss, though not a big one.
I can't give a weekly progress thing like I was because I don't have all the numbers. So I will just post what I have lost to this point and try to go on with the weekly losses again. My brain is too addled to do it. I tried and tried, but it isn't working out for me.
30-9.75=20.25
Looks like I won't be even close on the challenge. If I hadn't backslid and gone crazy that one week, I would have been fine.
Good morning all, Geri you beat me. We went out to breakfast after church. Bob Evans biscuits and all. Then we are going out this afternoon to a birthday party. Not good. Carree my appetite has NOT decreased - especially for sweets. I wish it had. Lily get a cyber pup - not as much trouble. Ours belonged to son who is married. When he moved out we kept dog and now dh is very attached. They bond well. DS has 2 dogs now. The little one is his wifes and they took in a stray (big dog) when it was a baby. It turned out to be a Spinone. They are training him to visit nursing homes and other places. Have a good day, Peggy
Geri: Everytime I use the spell checked I lose my post to. I just dont think they work correctly on these boards. I just gave up. The bold does work the same way here as it did before. The last thread wasnt moved over. It lost forever. Congrats on the loss! Looks like you are doing great!
Peggy: Thats great they are training the dog to go to Nursing homes and such! I doubt I will ever get my dog. I always had one when I was growing up. DH would rather have a cat. And Im just not a cat person. So I guess we will just stick with fish. ALAS....
At last I have some time to have a read of the many posts that I have missed over the past week or so.
DH got me on-line on my laptop and it is great to do things at my speed
My sister lives in Sydney and she came to visit yesterday, stayed the night and left 30 mins. ago. We don't get on terribly well, she KNOWS everything and I mean everything It is very difficult to hold your tongue. Even dh, who is very patient, was getting to the end of his tether.
Firstly I think the site is great and with Lily's lessons, I think there should be an avatar with this post. In time I will change the senior member bit. Peggy you are doing so well, good for you, I wish I could report the same steady losses that you are making. Karen sorry to hear about your bil, eventhough it was not entirely unexpected it is still a very difficult time, my thoughts have been with you and your family. Trudy love your avatar, it is fun doing these things. Slavika as always it is fun reading your posts, good to hear you are well and tanned. Lela nice to see you back posting.
I read somewhere that someone else needs to get back into line, I certainly do and today has been a good day so far. With my sister here yesterday, it just drove me to drink, and that wasn't water either
I have rung for some information to do some sort of course whilst I am here, I don't care what it is as long as it something that will keep me off the streets for a while.
It hasn't stopped raining since we got here, poor old Adelaide still hasn't had rain. Even the camels are dying in the outback of south australia due to lack of rain.
Hope to soon be able to report some sort of loss, at least I have not put on.
Cheers
Maria
