The third pic is my favourite cos I love your smile in that one. I love the flame effect showing up on the hair, too!

I thought you sold a bike to buy the wind trainer. Did you sell an old bike and put your good bike on the wind trainer?

Hi wishes!

I've spent the day reading through the first 98 pages of your diary and have enjoyed it thoroughly! You are quite an amazing, inspiring and funny gal, not to mention slightly crazy and tireless in your dedication to your weight loss goal! I haven't gotten to the pages yet about the actual kidney donation, but I hope it all went well.

I have a type of kidney disease called Renal Tubular Acidosis and am preparing for surgery. I have to lose 30 lbs before the doctor will operate, so I need to lose the weight as soon as I can. I weigh 199 lbs as of today. I am 5'3" and look like I'm about 8 months pregnant. (I don't know if it's fat or water retention but my stomach is always hard and round like a full balloon!)

I plan on losing the weight by eating lots of salads topped with chicken and exercising on my portable pedal bike while I watch TV. It's a pretty good work out for my legs and waist.

I just wanted to say Hi and tell you what an inspiration you are to me, even as a new member to this group. I'll keep following your success story as I work on mine!

Now I'm off to my pedaling before I head to bed!

Heya Darla, I wish you good luck on your quest. Its scarey and hard thing to do - but worth it in the end.
Im going through the tests part of the donation - the actual donation will happen sometime between september and xmas - probably closer to xmas because of waiting times
 
I just got done typing my response, but it timed out on me so I lost everything! I'll try again!

My sister is donating her kidney to me. She just did the crosstyping and is waiting for the forms to arrive to complete the rest of her tests. She lives in Texas and I'm in Minnesota. She will fly up here for the surgery and will stay until she is able to fly back home. I'm having the transplant done at the Univ of Minnesota Hospital.

It probably won't be done until the spring because I have some major dental work that needs to take place first. I need to call tomorrow to set up my first appt. I'm not looking forward to it!

I'm now going to go back to reading the earlier part of your fascinating diary. I left off last night at page 98!
 
SpicedTea: yeah we just did the crosstyping as well. How come you have to do the dental work first

well i spent ages on the web trying to figure out what sizes in what country were what measurements. Now apparently US have normal sizes, but they abandoned them back in the 80s for whats called 'catalog' sizes which are about 4-6 sizes smaller or something which confused me no end.
But the end result is that i now understand that I have a huge waist and hips ...... honest! if i went by my boobs size on clothes i would be like 3 sizes smaller! damn you big breasted americans!

I had the answer included in my first response to you that was timed out and to hurry through the second one I left that out.

I have to have some serious deep cleaning of my gums to make sure I don't have any problems with any type of infection after my transplant. I've had a long history of gum disease and I have to go back to get it treated again.
 
Oh never heard of that - sounds weird. Im hopeing nothing gets in the way of my brother getting the kidney etc.
He also has a bit of a belly from the dialysis, apparently the fluid that goes in/out has a fair calorie count from sugar in or or something (i forget what now).
 
when i login i click the button that says 'save username and password' and then i never have to login again except for like once every 3 months or something silly.

Ive never used it any other way :O

I may test it though and if its a major problem for people not saving user/pass like me it might be worth mentioning to server admins :)
 
Happy Monday morning! How did your day go? The sun is shining here, finally.:) Long walk after work today...woohoo!!!
 
arg weather is shocking here
plagued by storms, flooding, etc everywhere
Friends houses are under water or being washed away.
 
we had a tree fall over onto the drive. I had to move it before i could get out to go pickup hubby.
It was pretty big, about 5 mtrs long and 1' round. I reckon that was my exercise.
Im on top of a hill so flooding not affecting me, but the power fluctuations are and the rest.

- Google News
 
i just read those news. that is really awful weather there, and the situation is really difficult for your there. i really hope it ends soon and people are able to go back to their houses.
 
The storm damage sounds terrible, wishes. I hope you are still ok - wishing good outcomes for you and your friends.
 
Hello!

Hi There!
Just popping in to your Diary for the first time to say hello!:)
Your weight loss is incredible and such a motivator. Love the photos. Wish I was brave enough to do that to my hair. Hope your weather improves soon.
