Lynn, you're a sweetheart.  I can't ride a bike. :(  My legs would go bazerk (sp?)!  That's why I can't do much walking.  When I move my legs, my thigh muscle contracts and it tightens up the nerves that run through the muscle and causes leg pain. 

All the nerves from your back run through muscles all through your legs.  That's why I can't stretch out my legs. PAIN!!!  What I wouldn't give to be able to stretch in the mornings when I wake up! LOL  Seriously, thank you so much for all your ideas.  I just can't do much that has to do with my legs. And I can't lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk.  Even a gallon of milk hurts to lift on some days. 

I like how I've been counting down calories for the week.  So on days I don't eat alot its no big deal and, I can eat more on days when I have a bigger appetite.  It's working. 

I went out to eat with my dd and her bff.  I just had salad, dressing on the side and a small cup of chili (gotta have it!).  I did good!  They got the news that they got the apt and move in Dec 18th.  One out the door, and one to go! LOL  I'm so excited for them.  Now they want all my furniture!  hahahaha  I'll give them stuff I can replace quickly.  Thinking of giving them my living room furniture bc I do want new! LOL  I have to talk to hubs about that one though.  Just bought a new bed!  Giving the old to dd.  What a good mom I am!  hehehe

Well, see ya soon!

I started on the 10th. That was Day 1.  Now I've had 10 good days and I'm going strong!  I can't wait to weigh in again.  I'm trying to put it off til the 24th. I don't know if I can.  I like weighing myself everyother day at least.

I've had the cauliflower mashed potatoes.  I like them.  My kids do too.  My husband wants "real" potatoes!  He says he's not pretending. LOL

I don't keep track of my deficit.  Just my calories and I make sure to move about as much as possible.  Although some days I can't move much. 

Going for my MRI on Tuesday, will probably get the results the following week bc of Thanksgiving.  I know I've gotten worse just want to know how much worse my back is.  :(

Take care!

Hi! I'm here!  I always check in, just don't always have something to say.

Connie, hope you're all dried up now! LOL  That same thing happened to me in our old house and it was terrible.  I also used a dehumidifier and that dried things up quickly.  Dont think twice of the pizza. So what!  It is what it is.

Lucy, sure hope you're doing ok.  I know its so hard.  Thinking of you. :)

Today I weighed in at 184.4.  I am getting back down again.  I've stayed on track for 9 days and I'm proud of myself.  I'm writing the numbers on my calendar for everyone to see. So I sure don't want to put a "1" back up there bc I messed up.

Hope you all are well.

Tammy

Kathiemfb ~  14 lbs is soooo much!  Go the grocery store and put 2, 10 lb bags of potatoes in your cart and that's about what you've lost!  It's heavy!  I did that and it really hit home just what I had accomplished.

I'm doing good with my eating.  I've finished Day 9 of staying on track and it feels good to see that number on my calendar.  I don't (and won't) want to put a "1" back up there.  No more starting over!!!!

Hope you all are well and doing great!

Yesterday I weighed in at 185.2.  So far, so good!  Very happy with my progress.

Waiting to hear from someone.......hellllloooooo out there! LOL

***Lost almost 7 lbs. YAY!!!!  I'm gonna make my goal.......I HAVE to!!!  :)

I've heard on tv that ppl gain weight in the winter bc it gets dark sooner. Instead of being outdoors, you're indoors more and closer to the fridge! LOL 

I'm weighing in tomorrow.  I feel lighter.  I'll see soon enough!  :)

Nooooo, lynn.......the mom's bf beats the mom up. Not my sons gf.  Sorry I confused you.  I tried to make it clear it was the mom.  She put him in jail and then got him out!  I hear that happens alot.  Oh well.....there's nothing I can do.  I feel bad for the kids though. There's 3 girls and my sons gf is the oldest.

Today is day 3 of my plan and it's doing good.  Ttom showed up yesterday so I haven't been doing great.  Yesterday.....just layed in bed and I slept allllll day. No joke.  I slept all day!  I think I was awake 4 hrs of the day, at most.  Today it was better and I left the house with my daughter for a few hours. It was good to get out.  AND I had my dr appt with my pain dr.

Have to go for another MRI bc of the pain increases and if there are changes for the worse again, he's sending me back to the surgeon again.  He's talking fusion.  PAIN!!!!  And long recovery time!  Going for the MRI next week.

Happy to hear the good news about the loan being approved.  Good for you! Sounds like everything is going well and you'll soon be a proud home owner! :)

Haven't weighed in, will do that later. Ya know...... :(

I did good with my eating today and I got in 20 mins of exercise.  That's my goal this week.  I ate 1200 calories and exercised. I felt like I did an hour.  It's been a while since I've exercised and I was real careful not to move my legs too much and make them start hurtin'.  I feel like I accomplished something for once. Feels good!

Ttom is coming soon.  I can feel it.  So in the next couple days I'm gonna be down again.  Every month......2 days of hell!  :(  I have to goto the dr and get this taken care of.  It drives me crazy!  Really.

My sons gf is coming home from school with him tomorrow.  She's a nice girl, but her home life is complicated.  Her mom has this bf who beats her up (the mom). Not good.  Her dad died some time ago, so I feel bad for her.  My son is so nice to her. And its so sweet to see them together.

Well, I have rambled on long enuf.  "see" you all soon!

Tam

Oh to be 176 again!  I have to get there again.  I want it so bad but it just feels so far away.

My ttom is on its way too. Cramping here.....YUK!!!!  Sucks, big time!

Hey, inches matter more than pounds to me.  Then you can SEE the changes. Ya know?  It's your size you want to change anyways.

BBL!

How is everyone?  I'm still trying to get my weight moving in the right direction. It just won't move now!  I'm eating veggies and fruit and no fast food.  Why won't my weight move!!!  I'm keeping my calories at around 1300 and I'm really counting everything I eat.  I've been doing this for a while and I should be losing and I'm not.

AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello!  I'm sticking to this group lynn.  It's more for me. Ya know, a better fit. :) 

Hope you all are doing well.  In the last month I've lost 4 lbs!  I can't believe I actually lost something.  Soooo nice!  I will take that 4 lbs and run with it!  For so long I was seeing an increase in my weight every month. So finally seeing a lower number is great! LOL

I think my battery in my scale is starting to get low. It's giving me some weird numbers.  I gotta weigh myself a few times to finally get the right weight. I'll get a new battery tomorrow. Then it better not give me a higher number! LOL

TOTAL WEIGHT LOST: 4 lbs.....CRAP!!!!!  I was getting there!  But I did have an all-out cheat fest yesterday!!!!  LOL  Hope it's just temporary, for Pete's Sake!!! hehehehe

I'm leaving this group bc I just don't fit in here.  This is more of an exercise group and all.  And I just can not exercise anymore.  My legs are gving out on me.  Having a tough time right now.  So much pain to deal with!  :(

I wish you all luck!

Tammy

I'll weigh in again on Monday.  Ya know, exercise for me isn't always possible.  I just try to move about as much as I can.

Good luck everyone!  WE CAN DO IT!!!!  :)
