| Hi there. I tend to retain water easily also. I have been taking apple cider vinegar pills and it works wonderfully for me. I take a couple pills once or twice a day and I find that my daily weighing has very little fuctuation. Its worth a try. It works for me. | |||
| Health & Support | Anyone else exercising/losing weight with osteoarthritis? (I'm new) | Mar 18 2007 23:31 (UTC) |

| Hi there scalebeater.....I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis when I was 32. I am going to be 40 this year and still find myself frustrated because I cant do what I used to do. I used to love walking for exercise but now I find it painful. I still walk but its much slower now and the longer I go the more painful I get. I have been eating right since Dec 28 and have lost 28 lbs. Everyone said that the pain would lessen as I lost weight. I'm still hoping that will happen. I have 42 lbs more to go. Feel free to add me as a friend and email if you like. I would love to talk about this further. | |||
| Weight Loss | Worst thing someone can say about your weight? | Jan 29 2007 23:23 (UTC) |

| I've had that same thing said to me. It was,"You would be drop dead goreous if you lost weight." I don't know if he thought I would think that a compliment, but I was shocked that somone would say something like that as one adult to another. I mean things were said to me as a kid that I find hard to forget, and it has stayed with me all these years. I have moved on a certain amount, but I still have some niggling little fear that someone will say something about my weight to me. I hope to one day get down to where the only thing someone could say is, "You look great." | |||

| I have never thought myself an amazon woman, but what the heck. I can be anything I want. I'm 5'7" and last weigh in was 230. I have a long ways to go with this but I'm taking it one pound at a time. I hope to one day be able to look forward to clothes shopping instead of buying something just to cover me up. I would love to have a summer where the heat doesn't just about kill me and I can wear shorts and feel good about myself. So hello all and good luck. Cuz we are all worth it and can do this! | |||
| Weight Loss | weight loss correlating to a woman's cycle | Jan 12 2007 15:09 (UTC) |

| Hi there. There is no way I want to weigh myself during that totm. I can gain 5 lbs overnight then. I go by how I feel when I weigh myself. If I know I am bloated and puffy I know not to get on the scale. When it has passed is when I get back on the scale. It amazes me how much water I can retain. | |||
| Weight Loss | Thyroid issues | Jan 11 2007 01:59 (UTC) |

| Hi there......I have had hypothyroid for 3 years now. I'm on eltroxin. This is my first time trying to lose weight with a thyroid condition. Before I had a problem with it I had lost 60lbs. SInce then I have put on just about 40 lbs. I don't know if I gained because of the thryoid, or I just over ate. Deciding to try to lose weight really stressed me out cuz I'm scared it isn't going to work. So I am eating right and exercising, and if I don't lose weight I'm determined to just try to be healthier. If I lose some weight then thats a bonus. | |||
| Motivation | Is anyone fearful of weight loss/ new body image? | Jan 05 2007 19:59 (UTC) |

| I don't know if I am afraid of being slim. I do know that I have a problem in how I react and feel about the men who do lear and make crude comments. I have battled my weight all my life, and I have had a time when I was slim. I got all the attention that a girl could want from men, but it left me with more contempt for men that I have no respect for them. I once had a man say I would be drop dead gorgeous if I could lose weight. Does that mean I'm ugly if I don't?
I want to be slim....I really do. But I hope I am old enough that I won't get any attention. I don't want that and i know it makes me more negative towards men. I have lots of issues with I how I perceive myself and how I perceive how others see me. Why can't someone be treated well when they are large. That said, I am doing this for the right reasons. Not because I want people to treat me different or to get any attention. I want to be able to go upstairs without puffing. I look forward to feeling comfortable in my body. A body I have hated all my life. I don't know if that will change but I am going to try to see myself differently. |

| I like this thread. Its very enlightening to see others struggles and I know I'm not alone in mine.
I need to lose weight because I am tired of hating this body that I am in. I have always wanted to trade this one in for a different one, but I just have to change what I do to this one. If I look at my body as something outside of myself I feel sorry for it. I abuse it with too much junk and I expect it to run smoothly. Well its time I give my poor body a break and let it do what its meant to do. I need to lose weight so I can feel comfortable being intimate. I am tired of trying to hide my body with poor lighting and trying to stay covered. I want to feel free! I need to lose weight because I have arthritis in my hips and I know this isn't good for them. I may never be free of the pain, but maybe I can enjoy a walk with less pain. I have put on 30 lbs in the past year and I don't want to live like this anymore. I finally have the mental power to tackle this, and I want to beat it. |

| Motivation | Can you picture yourself skinny? | Dec 30 2006 21:46 (UTC) |

| I think I can imagine myself thin. I have been overweight all my life, except for a couple short years in the early nineties when I was quite skinny for me. All I remember of that time is that I never reached my goal. I still considered myself fat even when the scale said I wasn't. So this time I envision me being that weight again, and appreciating what the weight loss has done for me. | |||

| ...Count me in. I'm 39 yrs old and weighed 240 yesterday morning. Its not my highest weight, but its getting there. My goal is 170 so I do have a ways to go. I have battled my weight all my life and have been putting on and losing the same 60lbs for 10 years now. You'd think I'd learn. I hope to get and give support on here as I battle my way back to a healthy weight. I`ve done it before so now I hopefully can do it again. | |||
| Weight Loss | Anyone else a newbie like me? | Dec 29 2006 23:46 (UTC) |

| Hi there....I, too, ama newbie. I am on day 3 of this and I have only wieghed myself a fewe days ago to see the damage. Its not like I have never done the losing wieght thing before. I have battled it all my life. I am really interested in being involved in the support from this, I know things seem to be easier if there is someone to share the battle with. I llive alone so I don't have anyone influencing me in any way, but my willpower has been nil of late so I got rid of all the possible enticements.
I am actually looking forward to this, I pray that it goes well. I've been high on positive feelings to keep me motivated. Good luck all! |
