It probably is up b/c of the sodium. flush it out with water and keep an eye on the sodium intake, and Scalena should be kinder to ya. :)

Hope you have a good week. What's new with you anyway? You're hardly ever here anymore. I miss ya!

Yeah I'm hoping for a better week this week. I guess I have to look at it as I'm getting down to the "harder to get off" weight. When I was Super Huge I had so much more of it to get off and it came off quicker so now that I'm smaller I have to work harder at it. It's been hard because I've gotten a bit "un-motivated". I need to take some new pics. I am alot smaller sizewise even if I've not lost much more poundwise.

I know I'm not around much. I'm sorry! I'll try to get better!

What'd you think of the draft?
What the hell is with the Atlanta Falcons! Why didn't they take Dorsey and then pick up Henne in the 2nd round ?? Grrrr I really didn't want Matt Ryan. I would have much rather them take linemen defensive or offensive first then pick up a decent QB in the 2nd round like Henne or Brohm.:toetap05:
 
I hear ya on the motivation front!! I need to kick my ass into gear. My eating's been terrible lately. :ack2: We can do it!!!!!

I haven't paid any attention to the draft! I'm so bad. I've been giving all my sports attention to the NBA and NHL playoffs. :D Did you watch any of the Hawks/Celtics games? I was hoping they'd pull off the upset so my Pistons wouldn't have to play Boston in the Conference final. :rofl: Who did Henne end up going to? If the Lions had any brains, they'd get him. :D

Yeah I need some major motivation. I kinda lost a bit with this leg stuff because I had hoped to go on a vacation this summer and was working hard towards that and now I likely won't and there goes my goal. I need a new one to work towards I guess. I'm still hovering around 235. If I'm still there this friday I'm declaring a plateau:cuss:

I'm shocked you didn't keep tabs on the draft! Henne went to the Dolphins in the 2nd round. I didn't watch any of the Hawks. There's nothing exciting to me about the NBA anymore. I used to love watching basketball back in the MJ era. There's too many playoff teams and if David Stern thinks they can make some $$ they'd probably add some more.
 
Why on earth would you let a little varicose vein ruin your vacation? I know tons of women your age who have them, and still go away. Even if you don't spend all your time on the beach, go somewhere you can relax and enjoy yourself. That's motivation--to be thinner so you'll be in better shape and have more energy to do stuff. :)

I'll have to go check out the draft results. Henne to the dolphins eh?

Umm I think you are thinking of spider veins. Cause what I have isn't little and it's more than one. They're quite large actually and pretty painfull at times. Yesterday I had to stop what I was doing and go sit down for a bit. It's like my veins are swollen and knotted/twisted if you can picture that. Let's put it this way, I live the entire summer in shorts usually. Not this year. I wouldn't want to scare little children :biggrinjester:
This is a picture I found , I'm not this bad but it could get this bad unless I do something.



Yeah Bill Parcells must think Henne is something special or he wouldn't have wasted a pick on him I don't think.
 
I can't imagine why your insurance wouldn't cover that if it's causing you pain and could get worse. What's the latest on that? I would think you'd be able to get in to have it done pretty quickly. Does your doc know what caused it?

I checked out the draft picks. I can't believe Shawn Crable went to the dark side (the Pats). :ack2:

Well according to the guy I talked to at my insurance, he said I should be covered but he couldn't say for sure because they had not received a diagnosis from them and said he showed no record of anyone contacting them since a few years ago. They said at the time I was there that they schedule the appts six months out because you are supposed to wear those damn support sock things first and also they are backlogged in appts. It's usually caused from heredity(not for me) or weight and standing alot which was both for me.

My dad had to wear those socks for awhile after his knee replacement surgery. Did you get them yet? They are so tight, it makes them a real bitch to put on. I'm sure it'll be a lot easier now, though that you've lost so much weight.

Have you bugged the doc to get the info to the ins co? The sooner that happens, the sooner you'll know and can get it all taken care of. I hope it goes well for ya. :)

yes I got them. These socks I gotta wear come all the way up to my groin:ack2: They're comfy yet they're not yanno.

I actually called the Drs office yesterday after I posted on here. Damn good thing I did too! The girl that I had initially talked to in the office on my first visit totally fucked up. She's not employed there anymore I come to find. Seems I didn't even have a procedure appointment on the books. The person I talked to yesterday apologized all over the place. I actually have to go back in July for a 3 month follow up to see if I've gotten worse. Then I'm scheduled for my first surgery on Sept 8. She's sending in something to my insurance and will let me know what they respond with.
 
I'm declaring my first official major plateau

Start Weight = 235
5 May = 234.8 -.2 :rolleyes:
9 May =
16 May =
23 May =
Finish Weight 30 May =


Total Lost in May =
 
-.2lbs is not a plateau silly. When you don't lose any weight at all for a couple of weeks is. You just need to change things up with your exercise, and maybe do a refeed to boost your metabolism. :)

Good thing you called them. I have found that you have to stay on their asses in order for anything to get done--especially the insurance companies.

When I think of you in your "socks" the following comes to mind:

MEN IN TIGHTS!!

:smilielol5:

Have a good weekend, dear! :)
 
Just checking to make sure those tornados that hit GA weren't near you. I didn't see what part of GA they hit. Hope the weekend was good. Did you have your kids?

Well I'm at 235.2 this morning. I've been hovering around 235 for about 3 weeks now. First time this has happened to me like this since I started. :nopity:

Yeah it hit my area pretty good. I didn't have any damage though. Worst thing happened to me is my internet is out at home:sifone:
Yup, had the kids with me this weekend. They stayed later with me than usual because they had no power at their mothers house.
Hope you had a nice weekend.
 
Glad you're all right. Sucks your internet's down at home, though. Reminds me of the recent South Park where they all headed out Californie way...lookin' for some internet. :D So did you pack the kiddies up and do that? I can just see you like the dad needing privacy for his internet porn...:smilielol5:

If you're hovering, you need to switch it up. Do a refeed (don't go crazy..lol) and change up your exercise. This would be a great time to finally hit the gym. :)

No we didn't head out to Cali lookin for some internet although we were definetely in some withdrawl *L* Internet porn ? what is this internet porn of which you speak?

I have been changing the calories up and down trying to break free but so far no luck. This morning I was 235.8. We'll see what it is tomorrow but I'm not very optimistic that it will be below 235
 
Get the to the gym at once! :sifone: Time to shock your body out of the same old same old.

What exactly have you been doing with the calories? Have you been consistantly eating at what should be maintenance? I would recommend this for a week or two. Sounds like your metabolism has slowed down from all the dieting. Bound to happen sooner or later. :)

Well I managed a .4 lb loss again this week so not all hope is lost!

I have been still eating in the 1800-2000 calorie range. I figured my BMR for 234 lbs at 2600 for sedentary and 2900 for lightly active. I'm more in the lightly active range exercising at least 6 days a week. Seems I'm adapting to this though. The last couple of weeks I've been trying to eat around 2100 calories one day then closer to 1800 the next. I'm scared to eat much more than that for fear of adding weight back on. I'm goig to try getting out and walking this weekend (weather permiting) and maybe do some actual ...jogging! *gasp*

have a good weekend!
