<INSERT WARNING HERE> GROSS QUESTION ALERT! How many calories are in the mucus that has been draining down my throat??? I mean - they must amount to something.....(sorry...just had to get that off my chest)

Good Question. I mean if you're gonna take on additional calories, you want to choose them yourself!!!

Good morning ladies and dude....

How would we feel about doing a thread fundraiser and donate the proceeds to whatever foundation we choose or have it split amongst foundations???

I JUST HEARD AGAIN LAST NIGHT THAT THE BIGGEST REASON FOR A SELF-ESTEEM BOOST IS GIVING AND....we could all use some of that couldn't we???

Just a thought...why don't you guys pm me if you are interested...I'll pm you my idea on how we can make that work...that way if you don't feel this is the right time for you to be involved in something that is okay too!

I would love some ideas on what foundation you would like to help....I think it would be okay to post that and why it means something to you...

Hope this is warmly received because I think it would be a great way to work together for the good of others and ourselves....

Off to soccer with 1" of new snow on the ground and warm temp of 30 degrees inside the soccer dome!!!

Hi! I was lurking on the boards last weekend, planning a trip to the world for next December and decided to look around a bit on the WISH board to get some motivation for the diet I'd been thinking about. ( I'd like to lose about 40 pounds before our trip.) When I stumbled upon this thread....

I have spent my free time this last week reading the whole thing and I have been inspired to really get serious about losing the weight. I even went out and bought a set of scales.

Guess I need to pick a plan. ......

 

[3DisneyKids]

Happy week-end!

Love the giving idea. For a charity, I was thinking maybe the National Kidney Foundation or the American Kidney Fund. There seem to be many of us with a connection here. My DD (now 5) has been in renal failure for 3 years and just had her left kidney removed. Dawn & Carsyn both have kidney issues, I think Jodi does as well (?? sorry if I am getting folks confused), Susan has mentioned this I believe, and I am sure there is one other of us who has some connection to this.

Just my two cents on this issue. But please, do not feel obligated to jump on this bandwagon. I am just throwing this out there.

Guess what? I am going to the gym today! Yes, on a SATURDAY. Oh the horror....

For anyone wondering, I LOVE the Couch to 5k program. It is unbelievable! It makes me WANT to run! And seriously, even when I was a skinny minnie, I could NEVER run. I have hated it my entire life. Even in middle and high school and college when I was an athlete, I chose either the sports or positions where running was not involved (like, when I played field hockey, I was the goalie...just small burts of energy and running and then the ball went away again and I could hang out in the goal... I was also a swimmer...can't run in the water!) Professional fat girl in the making...the signs were there even back then.

Good choices today everyone!

Now, I am off to find a CHICKEN SH*T clip art for my siggie since Dawn called me out on that ...and since I can't have a weight loss ticker since, well, you know...

WOW WOW WOW! Welcome! Yes, join us! This thread seems to have an amzinf effect on people...many of us have struggled, tried, started many times with little success. And now, we all seem to be in that place where THIS is it. THIS is the time we are gonna deal with this once and for all!

PM Liz (DisneyWorld Delight) any of your stats that you want to share (or you can just post them) so you can be added to our cast. Anything you want...age, marital status, location, name, hobbies, and so on.

As for plans...there are so many to choose from, as I am sure you know. On this thread we have people doing South Beach (me), Jenny Craig, FitDay (counting calories), SparkPeople (also a counting calorie method), and um....others as well, I am sure.

Post questions, ask for help, talk about Disney...whatever! Welcome!

 

[3DisneyKids]

OMG! I just realized that was your very FIRST post on the DIS! WOW! I feel honored that it was on this thread. Welcome to the DIS as well. Hope you enjoy your new obesession (it is slightly addictive! ). Yeah, time to say good-bye to all of that free time!

[larry's girl]

I should so not be on here right now - I have a ton of stuff to do. But I had to share with my new body board pals (isn't that what we're calling ourselves now?? - if not, somebody please correct me).

My doctor has put me on a low carb diet, which I do through ediets (helps me exercise portion control and plan my meals). The goal is to get my blood sugar and blood pressure levels down to normal without increasing the medication I already take.

I have had two MAJOR victories in the last 24 hours, and I have to share. Last night we went out for Mexican food, a weakness of mine. I was determined not to eat lots of carbs, so while we waited for a table I scanned the menu and chose what I would eat. I ordered the guacamole (which they make at your table), and it was WONDERFUL. It had the avocado, cilantro, onions, jalapeno peppers, and lime juice in it. It was SO GOOD that I didn't miss the tortilla chips. Yes, that's right - I ATE IT WITH A FORK - no chips - AND IT WAS GREAT!! My DD and I shared it, and then we had our entrees. I had grilled catfish, which comes with rice and steamed vegetables. I asked them to leave off the rice and give me double vegetables, which they did. So I had the catfish (which was outstanding - best fish I ever had) and steamed broccoli and cauliflower. And as I left, I thought - I don't feel deprived. I am not walking out of here thinking "I wish I had gotten the nachos," which is what I normally eat there. I was happy and satisfied. And when I checked my blood sugar two hours later, it was not too high! So that was one MAJOR victory.

Then this morning, I was scheduled to do Week 2 Day 3 of the C25K program. It is cold and gray here, and by the time I got out of bed it was daylight. I have a problem running in my neighborhood in daylight. I prefer to do it when it is still dark outside (which is no problem during the week at 5:00 a.m.) because I am less self conscious. So I decided since it was so late this morning, I would go to Discover Mills Mall and walk. It is approximately one mile to walk around the entire mall, so I took my stopwatch to see how long it would take me. The 5K at Disney in May requires that you be able to walk a 15-minute mile, which has been of great concern to me. I am afraid I will be too slow and get swept. So I was anxious to see how much time I would have to shave off to get to that time for the mile around the mall. Guess what? I did it in 14:30 minutes!!! YES!!! Yay, me!! Now, mind you, I was dead when I finished. I had to stop and catch my breath for a few minutes. So I know I have work to do yet to be able to do that three times in a row instead of one. But it felt SO GOOD to be able to do that lap within the time frame allotted on the FIRST TRY!! And then I walked half-way around again at my normal pace because I didn't want to stop walking until I had done at least 30 minutes. So that was my SECOND major victory this weekend.

I am so pumped, I just want to kiss somebody (wish my DH wasn't sleeping ). Anyway, I just wanted to share with all of my new WISH friends - we CAN do this. We WILL do this. 2008 is MY year. I OWN it!! WATCH ME GO!!!

I keep being so jaw dropping amazed at people's kind words about this thread and how it has impacted them. I just keep wondering why this thread versus the other hundred plus out there....I know that some of us our on multile threads...but for the new Disers...and the veterans...my heart is so full of appreciation for your kind words and admiration for you all to make this a year to commit to loving yourself and being the best your heart deserves. It's not all about the darn number on the scale and the tag on your jeans. It is about healing the inside and the outside and figuring out what we can do to love our bodies past our addictions...whether they be bigger hurdles or small...we are all here due to choices we have made that did not give us a true positive self reflection in the mirror...and we need to change that.

Truthfully...I don't care if you lose .2 or 5# each week or even if we go back to the table of our history and gain a pound...it is the self reflection and giving up the guilt and staying on that d@mn boat taking us to the fit beach that matters....we all will drag our feet in the water once in a while..it just slows the boat down...it doesn't stop it.

So again my good friends...my support team...Thank You for stumbling and staying...for all of us.

Happy week-end!

I know at somepoint a link for the couch-5k was put on here...can someone post it again...I want to take a serious look at starting this for myself!
Good choices today everyone!

Thanks again for sharing your story...If I missed you earlier on this thread I am so sorry...I tried to look back and I don't think so...but the best news is you are here now...so WELCOME!! Great job on the downward scale...is that right you are going in December??? When???

Can't do the fish thing...I have 2 food rules I live by:

This is the article on Couch to 5K...just click printable version and you will be off and running...(pun intended ) Yeah, I'm THAT good...lol

For those who are totally afraid of running...like ME...I just ordered Bingham's books...(1) Running for Mortals and (2) The Courage to Start: A Guide to Running for your Life and (3) No Need for Speed...A Beginner's Guide to the Joy of Running.

Each is only about $10 on Amazon...and from what I understand, he is one of us in many ways. Just look at the titles of the books...the dude gets it! These are written from a humerous perspective, so I think they will be great for us Body Board Babes and Token Dude.

If we do raise money, I wish it would be exercise related. To keep in the spirit of this common goal we all have. Like a 2fer.

I like the idea of a Kidney charity. Here's my kidney link. My older sister (35) is close to complete kidney failure, if not complete. Not really sure of the exact lingo. She goes to dialysis 3 times weekly. Has been doing this for, oh I'd say 4 years now.

She was born 2 months early in 1971. The difference between being born early now and early then are galaxys apart. Her little body was of course not ready and she has suffered the effects her whole life. While she is happily married and seemingly "normal" her body has run the marathon about 100 times.

That being said, she is so tired of doctors and hospitals and such. And hasn't really been taking serious care of herself. Skipping dialysis here and there, unhealthy diet... She get's tired of us asking, "Did you go to dialysis today?" FINALLY, this past fall she changed her time from 6 am to 2 pm and it was much easier to go.

Over the holiday she was hospitalized and they found a mass in her stomach. (It hasn't been declared yet. It could be anything from cancer all the way to scar tissue.) It scared her. So, while she has started the process about 3 times with specialists, we're hoping THIS time she will follow thru, and get the help she needs.

She needs a kidney transplant, as only one of hers is working at like 10%. I and my younger sister are matches , but she needs other work done BEFORE she can have the transplant. So...there are so many hurdles, and it is overwhelming.

In conclusion...I like the kidney charities suggestion.

My first decorated cake from Tuesday night.

There is supposed to be a third yellow star. I ran out of time. Everyone else in class made one color and got to icing. I and my OCD had to get ALL my colors ready first then decorate.

It was fun. But my gosh, my hand got tired. We wrote with icing, made roses and stars.

I ate a piece. When everone was done (my family) I threw the rest away.

I can tell you from a chronic sufferer who gets yelled at nicely sometimes by those who love me....it is really fruterating to be sick all the time. Cause even when you are well...it just means you are better...I can't tell you the last time I felt good.

I hate seeing the doctors...I hate that it just can't be a simple...do X and you will be great....it is frusterating and I get to the point when I really hate it. Missing kids b-days year after year before having surgery...then having kids dump bladder bags because you can't move...not glamorous and not fun. It comes on fast. Very fast.

Quick story...
...last Dec I was in Florida at a convention and in 1 hour I went from okay...to Ethipoian stomach distended look. Add that to 250# and it ain't pretty. Tupperware had to call an ambulance...I am a smart @ss and when they asked me upon arrival if I take any narcotics...I said "No..I can't afford them." That of course meant I was just fine so I went from the ccritical area..to flu waiting area...
No joke... I waited 5 hours to be seen and I was explaining that I had full renal problems and had septic issues enough to have emergency surgery in May. No one cared...BTW I had the Head Counsel of Americas with me from Tupperware and she explained that Tupperware's legal team would be happy to let fellow Orlando citizen's know how people are treated. This was at Mickey's Celebration hospital!!! The best in the area!

Arrived at 3 p.m. got to see a Doc at 9 p.m......he did not listen to my allergies...gave me medicine that makes me sick...I had CT done and the radiologist did not listen when I said...I am going to throw up.

She said...no you will not...
I said... yes I will..back and forth for 2 minutes..
She finally handed me a kidney shaped little container that most people who are imobile spit into when brushing their teeth at a hospital...and I hurled everywhere. Did I tell you that the contrast I had to drink was mixed with red KoolAid??? Good times...
Yeah..she is pissed that I did not vommit daintly in the spitoon...
gives me a huge square container to finish throwing up in...
then asks if I can get off the table into the wheelchair because someone else needs to get a CT...
It is now midnight...I am drenched in my own vomit (red) and she expects me to leave this room like that!
I swear to God above this is the truth...I said...
"Do you think I could have at least a washrag to wipe off with??"
She says fine...I pat myself down a little..then get into the wheelchair...she hands me the bucket filled still with vomit...and I said..
"if you don't dump this and hand it to me rinsed out...I will throw it on you and then start swinging with the IV pole."

She was just perplexed I was so angry...I then waited 1 hour for the results before leaving the 2nd waiting room ...(Once you see a Dr....you get ussured into a 2nd waiting room where 30 people with IV's wait th enext move up the hospital ladder...I was there for 2 hours inbetween the Dr and the CT and then back again after the vomit excursion)...
I found the Dr...he did not like I came to find him and said I wanted to go home...he said...you are acting unreasonable..I said...I am sorry...after waiting literally 12 hours from arrival by ambulance...I expect to know if I am dying...I could have gotten on a plane and flew home (6 hours including airport early arrival etc) and been seen and resulted by now.

Sooo...I had infection...need to follow up w/ hometown Dr....and have a nice day.

So when I am sick...I self medicate a lot...not drugs people ...antibiotics...because I know my body pretty well after we have been playing this dance for 17 years like this...so I get your sisters frusteration and hesitancy of going in...and I get that you love her and want her to live past her own phobias and past her denial...because I live that everyday...it is not fun but there are times where I want to pretend that everything is normal and I will be okay when I wake up.

Here you go....

You should cut the cake in half when you make it and put the other half in a box/container and bring it to a local nursing home or womens shelter. They would love to get 1/2 a cake and that way someone else could appreciate your beautiful work.

Maybe your kids school teacher's lounge....
Call up ahead and ask around...you would be surprised at the answer you will get and I know the warm fuzzy's will be flying in your direction.

I hear you both on the kidney horror stories. I won't add all of the details from my family, but suffice to say we are in the midst of a malpractice lawsuit.

My DD ended up in renal failure and losing a kidney--because this arrogant SOB did the WRONG surgery on her! Well, maybe not the wrong one--she likely would have needed that one done as well, but he totally could have preserved the organ had he used an ounce of common sense and LISTENED TO THE CHILD'S MOTHER. But NOOOOOO, there was no way that I, a lowly lay-person, could have any possible insight into my child's medical condition...I mean, I only take care of her all day every day, run her labs, chart every ounce of pee her tiny body produces, monitor her temps, etc. etc. etc. What could I possibly know? Seriously, I am not a vengeful person by nature, but I so want to just nail his as s to the wall!

Thank goodness my pediatrican knows that I can diagnose the issues myself. I now just have to call him and tell him what meds she needs and he calls the scrip in. Saves a lot of headache and worry. So I hear ya, Dawn, about self-medicating. I know that I have saved my DD many pin pricks and other invasive and painful stuff just by being on top of her situation.

We are not in transplant world yet, but are prepared for that if it heads that direction (50/50 chance at this point)

Phew! Ok....back on topic...yup, I also really like the idea of a donation to a kids' weightloss camp or something along those lines. Of course, we could also do something Disney-related since that is something all of us have in common as well. Make a Wish or Give Kids the World.
