Trying hard to lose the pounds!!!!!!!!!

Chasing goats seems like a good way to keep the pounds off! Do you have to run up hills after them? Good to see you back, Cowgirl.

Go to MY HOME, then under MAIN CONFIGURATION click on EDIT next to PERSONAL INFORMATION. Way at the bottom is where you upload your picture.

The picture has be be fairly small, that's always the hardest part for me, getting the picture to be the right size.

Okay, I bravely went to WW tonight. Amazingly, I only gained back 4.6 pounds of the 5 pounds that I had lost.
Lots of reasons-inability to exercise after my last surgery, too much pigging out, complete loss of will power.....

I just bought 2 walking/exercise tapes from Leslie Sansone that my friend told me about.

And as of next Wednesday, I can go back to work and get back into exercising. Neither of those options really thrill me, but I really want to lose some blubber to show off my new boobies.

Louann-I am so proud of you!

I am down a whole 4 tenths !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ha, ha, ha.

We're off to a fine start on the new year.

KariLynn,
That would be her, I guess. But I like the tape as it is so much better than my boooooooooring treadmill.
It is also a lot like my very old Susan Powter tape.

hi all---

I last posted in TheresaPW's low fat-high fiber thread during the Hummus era, if you remember back to that. i do read this thread since it has become more active than the other one. I have been dieting and exercising on my own since the end of last June, after changing my diabetic meds and getting rid of one insulin and another med that causes weight gain. I have lost 49 lbs in 6 months and want to lose more still. In order to do the exercising, i had to rehab my bad back in Physical therapy. It has been a life-changing year for me.

I noticed that you were joking about losing weight with body parts, so i wanted to say that that when i had my single mast one and a half years ago, i lost 11 lbs overnite. That is what one of my boobs weighs!!!

i am just checking in with you all. I enjoy this thread. Good luck to you all.

peace,
celia

Cowgirl I see you made a comment about frozen shoulder. Are you on Tamoxifen? If so, did you get frozen shoulder since you were in treatment? I was diagnosed with it in September after being on Tamoxifen for 2 years and severe shoulder pain (which I attributed to getting older) for 1 year. I've always wondered if it was from the Tamoxifen. I was in PT for about 3 months (until my insurance company stopped it because they said my pain wasn't bad enough to continue). It is definitely better than it was. Just wondering what your thoughts were? Thanks. Janet

Celia,

Did you go on Byetta? It's a diabetic med that's supposed to help with weight loss and all of our diabetics who've gone on it have lost weight. And good for you for the weight loss; that's super.

Celia of course I remember you, sounds like you are doing well on weightloss.

Janet I got frozen shoulder after my exchange surgery, my bilateral recon gave me an option of no tomox. My mom took it five years then two years later got IDC and DCIS. With my family I did not want to trust tomox. Tamox for most works, my family is just really a fluke I guess. Since then I tested neg for the gene.

I had frozen shoulder 1 full year, which was so painful mere words can not express. When it cleared up believe it or not it was more painful. So now the pain is much less, and movement is almost back. I kept up the goats, just leaned on one arm so often it was frustrating. I am very weak on my left side but it does feel better to feel better.
I went back to work and forced my arms to work, it was not a bad idea, I felt better working and pushing than giving into pain.

Hang in there, it is a very long process, and no real way to rush it. I tried PT but it never really opened up until my shoulder was ready.

A dear friend fixed homemade spaghetti sauce, which is S's fav. So that is dinner tonight!

Tomorrow is crockpot salsa chicken!

Thanks for the reminder about the salsa chicken; I'm going to try it soon. I love crockpot recipes.

LuAnn - You are causing the weight loss!

As far as I can tell Arimidex doesn't do much for weight loss. It's your good work -eating right and exercising- that's doing it.

Credit where it is due!

LuAnn, Arimidex isn't making you lose weight - like Rose said you're doing it!! Way to go - aren't you proud for taking control of your health??!

Salsa chicken sounds good-but I can't find the recipe! Can someone repeat it for me?
