Laurel Yeah Meds do play a part in gain and lost of weight. I have been told this. When I was on Dilatin I couldn't believe how blotted I was. Not until I came off of it did I realize this. I keep tryin to lose. I have lost 5 pounds this week but tomorrow that 5 pounds could be their again. This is also with eating healthy. I always have to remember that everything I put into my mouth I am allergic to making my body bloat some. It depends upon how many allergans I have put into my mouth. The exercise I try something each day. Today I bad chocolate chip cookies ate 2 and feel sick to my stomach. I probably will not eat anymore because just eating those 2 bring back memories of how ill I become when I eat to much sugar. So I know. Tonight's dinner will be grilled cheese and soup. I might skip the grilled cheese I am not sure yet. See I can get sick from the cheese even thou it's swiss. So I will have to wait until I leave the computer and make up my mind then. Thanks for the support. Loves Marg

Get Well Soon!

Hi. I am going to be 63 on Dec. 19. I've been hypothyroid (severely) since my 30's. Main symptom was enormous weight gain. Synthroid helps control weight, but I still eat far less than normal people. Have severe shoulder pain, which some on here say can be thyroid-related too! Please get back to me on this! Blessings.

I'm With You

Yeah I was an aide for years. No longer able to lift because of arthritis plus more. I can drive to Dr.'s appointments and sit and talk to those who can no longer get out. This at least keeps us busy. Marg

Shout Out
highmarg (12/05/08)
Yes let's shout out for trying to have fun our way in losing wait battle. Just keep moving and somehow that 5 pounds we lose per year seems to stay off. I went to the Dr. yesterday did not weigh self because everyone is telling how great I look. I would get on the scale and weigh the same and put a damper on how good I look. Oh well five pounds at a time put on 200 times and taken off a thousand maybe this means we have lost 10,000 pounds over time. I know I have lost 70 since 2001 so if I lose another 70 by 2011 my weight will be where it should be. At least I know it's no longer over 300 pounds. Let's do a gig for those 200 lost pounds. Take a pound of loves Marg

Yeah I hate snow as well. The only problem is I live near the Altantic ocean on the east coast. So instead of lake effect snow we get ocean effect snow. When it's ocean effect it's cold because of the wind and damp because it's wet. It normally never accumaltes but instead just makes everything wet. Oh well par for the course living near water. Take Care Marg

Little Love
highmarg (12/05/08)
Thank you so much Laurel. I only wised up to unsafe nursing homes are when I had to go into one after my knees where done. Yet I worked in a few that I would not send a rat to live in. People need to beaware of where they are putting a parent or loved one. The one thing a person told me along time ago was if you would not leave your child there why would you leave your parent there. Yet you never think about that until your face to face with it.

Laurel what a great supporter. My tears were weight,my mom dieing and finding assisted living for my Dad. I try not to obess to much with weight. I told a Dr. once it took me 20 years to put it on and so what if it takes me 20 years to take off. I am active all day. Today I walked the gocery store, did laundry which is still in the dryer,brought the Thanksgiving stuff away,picked up around the house, wrote e-mails,tried in touch with ss and mahealth. My son no longer has health insurance. The food I try not to eat to much since I have reactions to everything I eat. But the good news is I am finally getting a waist line. I have not have one since 1999 and started to lose weight in 2001. I still have at least 50 pounds to go but so what. Just as long as I keep moving and eating right this will help. Take care and we will keep up the work together.

I'm with you. Yeah we have to find new interests and friends. I have begun, I am in 3 or 4 different groups. I keep busy. Next week I am going to workshop so I can become a respite worker. Yeah it might take a little work but I think it took work to me people even when we were younger. Of course this is once a upon a time. Take care Marg
