Ahh! How did I miss this post! Sorry! Maybe I logged on and didn't check :p Thank you so much. I am starting the SHAPE program Mal recommend. Maybe I can loose another 10 before surgery!
 
Ahhhh! So I have been avoiding the scale like the plague ONLY weighing for the challenges, well today I hoped on it, and expected to see the same numbers I have been seeing 165-167, and to my surprise I am 162 ish, haha.. I felt much better=P I need to start weighing less often. My pictures I posted above are nice too. Now to if my arms and the last bit on my thighs/tummy would go away I would feel great!
 
I will be in the "normal/healthy" weight range soon according to standards, awesome! lol , Then I can officially say I am not "overweight"

I am excited about starting the SHAPE diet plan, I mainly start it because it will let me try more foods. Also, I can get more cooking in- Not because I need a diet to keep on track. I just want the new foods! haha,, and it was free! I start Monday!
 
I am going to post what I am suppose to be eating today, based on shape. It says to do 10 mins of cardio today, I will probably do alot more, and just eat a little bit more- also I will most likely avoid the juices, and drink milk/water instead. I will update later on how it goes. I am excited- this morning I will poach an egg, I have never did that :p haha, its already helping me cook/try things! I have already bought everything for the next three days.. :D

That menu looks great. Good luck with it. You have done so well for yourself, I know you can get thru this. Take care.
 
Thanks! I did follow it pretty much, with little tweaks. Going again today, I would post the menu- but I am super busy ! :p I will update later!
 
Ok, I have always loved tennis. I do not play so often anymore- but I want to start, problem is .. I know no one who would want to play with me :( also, I have no clue how to meet people who would play. Anyone have any ideas?
 
you could post an ad at ... (they stress that they are NOT a dating site and a site to meet people to go do active stuff with)

If you've got local tennis courts - ask there is there's a board where you can post an ad or look for people who want to play with - surely you are not th eonly person who wants to play but doesn't have a partner

Thanks mal! I have never heard of that site. We have some courts out at the college that people use, I had a friend who liked to play- sadly he moved to another state :(
 
Ugh, today has been horrible.

My mother went today , she has been feeling horrible- she has gained alot of weight in the past 6months she has gained 20lbs- I try to help her and tell her I will help her with foods, and walk with her. Today she went in and talked to her doctor about how she was feeling, and he was listening around her neck and heart, and she was told today she has Carotid Artery Disease. If you want to read more about it- feel free too. She has to go in Monday for an ultrasound, if it is more than 70% blocked , she has to have surgery. I am so stressed. I am so worried, and I wish I could be more comforting - but my personality always makes me be the honest, and blunt.. and just the facts person I guess. I research and talk with her about things- and I don't really comfort. I come off as cold, and for this fact she will tell me and not my sister, she knows my sister will worry to much.

She is going to have to stop smoking, and drinking, which she does daily.. I have tried before now to get here to cut back- but we all know a person can only do what they are willing. Now I am scared it may be to late. My paw-paw also has this condition, so its hereditary- I have no doubt if I wouldn't have changed my lifestyle, later on I would have something like this too.

Just please keep my mother in your thoughts. I may not be on so much the next week or so, as she has alot more appointments to go too.
 
Carotid Artery Disease has been getting a lot of attention on the idiot box - as one of the drug manufacturers has been doing a ton of advertising... In most cases it's a treatable condition... Sometimes with meds, sometimes with diet, sometimes a procedure called angioplasty is needed (which is basically rotorootering the arteries)

Smoking is bad - Red Wine however is good...

good luck to her... and sometimes just the facts does help out a person more than comfort... you're giving her someone to talk to and that's important
 
Thanks everyone for the replies. Mom is always thinking the worst ! I have been telling her it will probably be just medication and diet/exercise.. she just won't listen. I can't wait till Monday :p

My breast reduction has been scheduled for Sept 29th of this month. I am so freaking nervous now .. lol.. I go for my Pre-Op the 17th. Now this wait will kill me.
