Hi, great minds and all.

I went there last night and found that. I made a few avatars that are on some thread...

darn it. I forget where. Maybe in the social forum... whereever that question was also raised.

I hate the inherent confusion I live with now.... They were pretty nice, I thought. Did you see them?

Where are they, she moaned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here they are... they were in the 500 members thread... no idea why...

Hey C~
I just went there now and took a look. Good job!!

I think it is the great minds thing......

I hear ya on the confusion thing too--400mg/day of Topamax makes the bad memory worse......aarrgghhhhhhh!!!! Now, what was I saying???

She wonders if she should have put this under a new rollcall, or why someone else didn't start one..... she wonders why she wonders this?

You do take methylcobalamin, right?

It helps... it just doesn't restore things to Perfect... at least not over night.

Hello all, I am Nancy and one of the first members of the weight forum at the original BT. (Jan dragged me kicking and screaming into it. Just kidding.) It was so much fun and we were really rolling when - POOF - and we all know the rest.

I am known to some as BS which does not stand for the regular BS but means Big Sis. Since I am older (53) than Miss Jan, I am her Braintalk Big Sis and she is my Lil Sis. We met on Braintalk and have formed one of the most special friendships I have ever had. (Wipe the tear away.)

I have Small Fiber Peripheral Neuropathy in my feet, Fibromyalgia and a bunch of other stuff. Since the Neuropathy is so bad, I cannot excercise. I even have to be very careful in the pool. So I found Chair Excercise and CHAIR DANCING!!!! I haven't used them lately but now I found new encouragement.

Welcome to all of you, those you have been on the old "Babes" forum and those who found this new one. (Thx LS)

Gotta run - see you soon!

Hi kiddies~
I was just wondering to myself and to Big C (ConsiderThis) if/how we should introduce ourselves Should we do it here, or should we start a thread, and those who already have, could copy it to that thread so the new people would find it and introduce themselves if they want? I bet I could talk DocJohn maybe into making it a stickie for us, if everyone thinks it's a good idea that is. What does everyone think?
Hugs,
Jan/HC/LS aka Schultz once upon a time

Thank you for starting this. I was active on the headache forum at the old BT. Anyway, I did Weight Watchers last year around t his time. I lost 25 pounds and have kept it off. However, the last few months have been difficult. I'm still hanging in there, but could use support. I don't count points anymore, but I watch my portions, avoid bread and pasta, eat sugar in moderation and exercise three to four times a week. It's really worth it. I'll support ya, please support me. Hang in there everyone.
Remember: NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS THIN FEELS

J: OMG, how did you manage to loss all that weight with all your spinal problems? Please tell me!!!!!!!!!!!! Your dx's sound just like mine and my PM dr. told me to lay off the exercise, swimming was o.k. though. I've gained 30 pounds since crap all started.

You sound like you know the key to motivation!

Nice to meet you from Texas!

Linda

Long time no see. You have gained 30 pounds. Well this is where you belong then. I was an original, I guess. I was Called: BC, I forgot what it means. I just think of: Before Christ. I feel like it right now after pulling some weeds with many stiches in me, both front and back. Yes, I have had surgery again. These stiches are to come out Monday. I looked this evening and they are red. I have a paper that says to call if they look like that. I am otherwise ok, so no calling for me.

It's nice to see you here Linda. We have always had a ball chating about weight and the tips are really neat. I really liked the one someone else gave once about washing, draining green grapes, then freezing them. If not in the freezer to long, they are delicious. You would think they would freeze hard, but not for a couple days or so. Count me in, wherever we sign in at. I want to loose at least 30 pounds. I have lost almost that, but it's so easy to put back on.

Hi Billie:

What in the world are you doing pulling weeds????!!!!! You're to soon out of surgery for that. That is something else I've had to give up, and that was hard. Shortly after my 2nd fusion I was out chopping tree roots and boy did I pay for it. Why are we so stubborn? How are you doing besides that, I posted to you in the thread where I heard your husband had passed away. I'm so sorry to hear this, something else to add to your struggles. Please know you've been in my thoughts.

As far as weight loss, yes as soon as I start losing the weight something sets me back. I have to lose this weight, it's killing me emotionally and physically. I could really lose about 50, but 30 would be back to where it's maintainable, at least I think so.

I love those frozen grapes. I have some in the fridge now, I think I"ll pop some in for a treat tomorrow.

Linda

I am worrying about your red stiches...

Infections can be so wearing on the system...

Can you take a couple of grams of vitamin C, or is there some reason you shouldn't do that. It always helps me with infections... though mine have tended to not be so serious,,, kitty scratch type things.
