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.

Default New to the Weight Loss forum
I am new to this weight loss forum, but not new to BT. I'll give a brief history.

I am 28 yrs old and I have dystonia. In 2003 I had deep brain stimulation for my dystonia. Ever since surgery I have been packing on the pounds, over 40 When Liz, AKA Lizard posted about her weight loss she inspired me.

I already eat healthy, but my metabolism needs a jump start. So I walk every morning and evening. Right now I am walking a total of a mile. Which is a miracle for me seeing that before DBS, I was in an electric scooter.

Lots of water, I think is the key to success.

i'm here!

beautiful day here in texas! i got my exercise done while watching the sun come up. i have an exercise room set up on the back patio. nice view...a tv....and a dip in the pool to finish up.

all before the monkeys wake up!

did you go do the pool walking junie? it might help take the stress off. you are only 10% of your body weight in the pool. maybe don't worry about too much walking, but floating ( if your club allows noodles or other floatation devices) and relaxing? i hope your pain lessens.

suzie, what wonderful news about being out of the scooter! and yes...water water!

i see you are in mn jan...i lived there for 4 years. lots of family there.

I usually go walking in the morning around our apt complex and sometimes in the evening. My morning walk happens whenever I roll out of bed, well at least until I get a job.

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
