Good Luck Babs. You'll do great. It'll be fun doing this with you again



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Morning Babs. I've been fine..couple minor set backs and such but overall nothing to keep me from moving on.

I know this is like super late, maybe almost a year now but didn't you go for surgery? I know I stopped see'ing you around here then I got so busy I stopped posting for the longest time and I never got a chance to ask you. Did everything workout ok?

Morning Set backs are never fun. It's good though you didn't allow it/them to stop you from moving on.

That's alright. I had MANY surgeries. I left IM and work for about 12 weeks. During those twelve weeks I was in counseling and in and out of surgeries, etc... Didn't get the hysterectomy. After suffering with depression, bone/joint aches and pains, hot flashes, mood swings ,etc....I decided enough was enough and that a hysterectomy wasn't for me. Not yet. I wanted to enjoy my young years. I packed on 70lbs in 3.5months of Lupron Therapy. So far I've lost 20 of it and the rest is SLOWLY coming off. Tomorrow I meet with my doctor because I told him I've stopped all my meds about a week ago. I will not allow him to give me more crap to gain weight. I'm done with that. I think he's going to put me on BCPs though. He said there's Yasmin and it doesn't make you gain weight....OF COURSE HE SAID THAT ABOUT LUPRON too. I don't know...All I know is, I need to stay regulated and lose weight. So, here I am....and I know you all are going to help me............when I start to lean back, I know you'll be here to kick my arse.

Thanks for asking. You can ask me anything hon. I'm a pretty open person.

Diet doesn't look bad to me....only 4 meals though? May need to up those cals a tad..seems kinda low. Proteins always help, try a post w/o shake with some carbs. Not good you only took in one meal post w/o thats where you need alot of your cals to come in in m opinion. Just make sure you don't jump in cal ranges....try to keep in consistant.

Def. NO fun AT ALL!!! I was completely miserable. Yes, I'm finally back and hopefully for a long while. It does doesn't it? I love dieting with others, we get to go through all the changes at the same time. I'll keep focused as long as you do

yeah, I got a late start yesterday with my meals. I eat every 3 hours. M1 started at 9am. That's what REALLY hurt.

Post w/o I added a protein drink which gave me 90 more calories and 23gr more protein.

Yeah I know. I'm playing with the numbers until I FINALLY put something doable into place. May take me about a week to do this.

I should have atleast 1800calories at the end of the day and 252gr of protein. My fat intake was OVER as well. Sugar was par.

How have you been ?
