Talon Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Kitty, are you drinking lots and lots of water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittykittykitty Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Yes, a couple of liters a day. I keep the sodium low also. We've looked at all the usual things; heart has good ejection fraction, no pulmonary hypertension, last ultrasound of kidneys unremarkable. Protein level is normal. No diabetes. I've used Ace bandages and support hose. And I've done lymphatic drainage as well as leg elevation. Haven't used the machine for lymphedema. Any other ideas are most welcome!:ohmy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittykittykitty Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Three months, and no one has posted here. Does that mean y'all have reached your goal?:lol: Maybe with all the running around you've been doing?:silly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acappella Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 OK, so I know it's cliche to start this in January, but I have an incredibly shallow motivation to get on track. A friend from college, where I studied Jazz performance, is doing a show in March to celebrate his 50th birthday. Although I've seen Dan once in the past year, there's a good chance that many people I haven't seen in over 20 years will be there. Sort of a compressed college reunion, as it will only be people I actually liked:P Problem is I was a size 9 last time they saw me, and now you can multiply that by a 2:( Is there anybody out there that wants to join me and start the new year out on a healthier note?

JillyBeanz Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I start mine tomorrow! I've gradually put on weight over the past two years and definitely need to lose some! Me and Michael are dieting together - no crisps, sweets, alcohol.......every night! I might even venture all the way to my treadmill (when I dust it)!!!!

Supernova Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I am 5ft7ins and 10st4lb. Why is everybody so obsessed with loosing weight? I am a Bloke and I think skinny is not good. I like a woman to be as she is. To many mags and tv progs. Be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearllyn Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Bernie, I would be very happy if I was 10-4! Even if I was I wouldn't be skinny - but your right - it is a question of being happy about yourself, I'm just not at the minute! I put on a stone this past year - enough is enough! Jill - that's basically what we've been doing - so sweeties or junk. Today we had a treat though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Bernie is right about one thing, women do obsess about their weight and most of it is to blame on magazines and tv ads with women who are so slim they have to starve themselves to look that way. Some of us women will never look anything like them even if we lost lots of weight because it depends on our individual bone structure but many of us including men are overweight and have health problems that result from that.

pearllyn Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Geez! So when is it ok for a woman to diet? I'm having to squeeze into jeans I've been wearing happily for years! Hopefully I'll still be a woman after I've lost a couple of pounds!!!!!:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Okay, Judy and Bernie......STOP DERAILING THOSE OF US IN THIS GROUP!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: First of all, NO ONE should ever diet....you should only modify your life style into a healthier one, and in doing so, you will lose any excess weight, build your immune system, and feel better and healthier than you could imagine. Encouragement is why we have this group. :cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Penny, Penny, Penny, I am not trying to derail those who are trying to lose weight, you know as well as I do that I am one of those who need to lose some but a lot of women do think they have to be super skinny to be beautiful and most women look better with a little curve to the body. The word "diet" should be banned from the english language for like Penny said it is a behavior modification and not a diet, diets only make you gain weight.

Judy is right though, the word diet should be banned! So from today, I am officially dropping my diet, and going on a new Lifestyle modification, weight dropping and immune system boosting Programme! (Diet is less of a mouthful though!!):laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernova Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 OOOPS sorry. :blush: I was just trying to make the Ladies feel better, when somebody says Dieit to me I think they are changing the colour of something,:blink: Any way I am just a bloke. Eat simple, drink water and good exercise, will do most of it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 This is going to be like Big Brother - Day 1 in the Big Brother House - Jill can't stop thinking about food. She's drank five litres of water (don't worry, this is normal for me) and had her tea. She might have a whole apple for dessert! Nah - I'm okay - only joking! Mind you - all I've talked about all day is food!!! Addendum: I've dusted my treadmill - hey, one step at a time!!!! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Okay members....let's get to work. Dust off the treadmill and get on it for 15 minutes, walk at a comfortable pace to start. Eat your carbs, drink water, eat 5-6 times through out the day. I'll be checking this daily.....let's all check in. Even if you don't dust off the treadmill today.....but if your too lazy to dust it, just run on it, the dust will fly off!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
