Oh Judy, where are you miss skinny butt? Come out come out wherever you are.

Hi dear Judy!!! How are you today???



TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

hello troops. here i yam.

weight stable, again.
i walked already.
feel a nap coming on too.

everything ordinary today.

Good girl, dear Judy. Now, have you made good choices so far this week? I notice a conspicuous absence of that info in your posts.

Hi Judy,
I feel bad as I have not posted in a few days in support of your weightloss efforts. I have lurked though. LOL.

Glad your weight is stable. I still am in awe of your motivation. Can I have some of that? Just a little bit. LOL. I would like to get back to walking a mile a day (20 minutes or so). My legs just don't allow it RIGHT NOW! But I do try for 5 or 10 minutes a day. However, most the time I lack the motivation and it will turn out to be 5 to 10 minutes a week. I do use the resistance bands and do stretching exercises every day throughout the day. It really seems to help with spasticity.

You are doing great!!!!

T,
stretching is very important.
when i started my walking the most important thing i did was to set a reasonable goal. something i knew i would manage, even tho small.

so reconsider your walking. to me 5"/day is better than 20" a wk.
and you'll feel you've accomplished something.

my weight is still the same. thank God.
i've eaten good things but still overeating a bit. just enuf to not lose wt.
cindy can always tell when i've been cheating. she has eyes and ears in the back of her head.

i did walk today.
i get my 6 wk labs tomorrow and have my massage.
i'm really glad i made that roast chicken as i've been eating it for several days. plus veggies and half a baked potato with much, much less butter.
maybe a tsp total. and, less salt.

hey, greta comes in a couple of wks. i'm looking forward to her visit.

Good Morning my skinny friend. As we have told you all along, this is a lifestyle now. It's always going to be something you have to think about, but as you continue on, it should get easier. Just remember how great success feels.

I have watched what I eat so long that it just comes natural. Oh, I do have my indulgences, but as I've said B4, when the scale creeps up 2 lbs, I take them back off. I had gained a pound and a half at DD's and have taken one back off.

Last night I had a salad, while DH had pork steak, potatoes, veg. I did have some veg too. But, I'm not a huge meat and potato eater, so that makes it a little easier for me. Just keep going forward Judy.

We are here right beside you. I am jealous that you and Gretata are getting together. Give each other a hug for me.

wuvs ya....

Painful as it is to admit, DM is right, and I too have a daily responsibility to myself to keep things under control. I will never go back to my fatgirl as long as it's in my power to control this. It IS in my power, and I AM IN CONTROL, no one else can do it for me.

If we can just get you to your landing zone, dear Judy, maintenance will come more naturally to you. You can do this! You are at least half way there, and I think you owe it to yourself to stay the course and go the distance!

Do it for you! Do it for Judy! She's good enough, she's strong enough, and doggonit, people like you!

*TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!*

well, this is not good news so i may as well spit it out.
i went to the dr this am and knew it would be bad.
i have gained back 15 lbs.
this is not going well.
i feel like carp and hate myself.
i feel like i have no strength.
i have no words.

my sugars have been normal except for the times i've eaten during the nite.
then they're very high. my BP is good, thank God. 130/82.

my dr says let's try 1 glucophage tab with dinner. it will help my sugar (my HbgA1C was up last time) and she thinks will help with the weight loss. and, she doesn't think 1 pill/day will throw me into hypoglycemic episodes.

i feel like a worthless piece of i don't even know what.
i am not proud of myself.
this struggle is for the birds and so is this MS. i'm ****** with life at this moment or can't you tell.

Oh Judy, I am so sorry! I know this is making you feel terrible but please know that no matter what you have inspired so many of us to get on the wagon with you.

Your sugars are not in control so that has to be a priority as you know. Mine are borderline and I fear my next appointment will include a HbgA1c as well. No matter how much I cut back they are still high. And I have gained too. Who knows what is going on, but like you, I don't like it.

The bottom line is you are aware and that is the best thing for someone trying to eat better. Many of us could just say screw it and run off to the nearest pizza parlor but we wont. BECAUSE OF YOU JUDY. I only ate out once this month because of this thread. Of course Jim isn't too happy but he'll come around.

We are in this with you. Try not to be so hard on yourself. Cindy will do that for you!

Let's pick up, brush off and start again.
