I've been working on a weight loss plan for about 3 mos now. Down from 211 to 195.4 today. Not so much for the cruise as for my Cholesterol. (Getting higher and I want to do something about it before my phys starts saying the hypercholesteremia word.

cinnamike her. can i join too? i have to lose 5 lbs. before the cruise.
im going get in trouble now

Of course!! The more the merrier. Maybe the guys should have their own table on Yahoo. That way us women won't feel threatened with your 3-4 losses per week!!

Looking forward to those piccies

I love mmmbop - its really cute!
Do you all have a secret name for me? - I hope its not too insulting

Of course we have a nickname for you Karen, but it's a secret.

Welcome Chuck - 14 lb is fab - well done - I'm really close behind you with my 1.5lb - pitiful isnt it!

Chuck says thanks. He's on cloud 9 today because of his loss.

Good job Steve! Please join us other "losers" on yahoo.


My cholesterol went down from 275 to 163 but now my good c is too low. My Triglycerides went from 284 to 174 (s/b 150). Exercise will help those numbers.

Great job Steve!!!

For me I have to watch my blood pressure. Both my parents (mom's gone now) have high blood pressure and have been on medication most of their lives for it. When I gave birth, I developed HELLP syndrome, which is high liver enzymes, low platelets and high blood pressure. It was manageable when I left the hospital and then the next day my BP skyrocketed to 170/100 and my platelets dropped to 11,000 (avg person is 250,000). I was in/out of the hospital and Dr's for a few weeks.

BP has been slightly high since then but since I got back into exercising, it's been 120/70. And since I have a bad back, any extra weight is really hard on me so while I like to look good in a pair of shorts for WDW, ultimately I need to lose for my health.

Reading Cass' and Steves posts makes me realize how useless I am about going to the docs. I havent a clue what my blood pressure is or my cholesterol levels etc. I have had a really bad shoulder for nearly 2 years and I cant be bothered to go and get it checked out. . I went about 6 months after I got it cos it was keeping me awake with the pain. He gave me tablets that didnt work and I havent been back since

And I KNOW my stress levels are sky high

Even though its free I just dont go. I HATE going to the docs and dentist - no jokes about the British and their teeth please .

I'm probably a walking timebomb with a dodgy ticker and a bp that would be off the scale, but as long as I dont know I'll be ok

I have that "bury your head in the sand" approach.

Oh, by the way - I have forgiven Neil....................he's just walked in with a chocolate cheesecake and cream ...if he thinks he's getting a slice he's sadly mistaken.

To be honest Karen, if I didn't have Lupus, I wouldn't be so in tune with my health. Before all this, I went to the Docs once a year for my physical and somehow I managed to avoid the dentist for almost 10 years and go figure, I didn't have cavities but then I start going on a regular basis a few years back and have had 4 filling since then

Rob is like you, in 11 years he's seen his doc maybe twice. He used to bug me all the time about keeping up with my health and going to see my doctors more. I told him that when he went to the Doc, I will go to mine
It worked

Although he's the opposite about seeing his dentist and chiropractor?? I'm like "You just WENT to the chiropractor!!" LOL!

Karen,

I'm sorry you are having a bad day But cheesecake sounds delish!!!

Maybe this will make your day a teeny bit better?

This one I made for you especially....

This one is a version of one I made for Nancy and myself (Nanc, I hope that's ok with you! )

If you PM me with your address, I will print them off tomorrow when I get more magnetic sheets and mail them to you. It may take 4 months, so you should get them right before you leave for WDW


And if anyone else likes the second design, I can change the names for you and send you the image too! (Nancy may beat me up....but that's ok, I think I can take her! )

There will be no chick wrestling Cass. Besides the guys might like it.

i may have conquered my addiction

Way to go Mike. We knew you could do it. We are so proud of you.

Hi everyone,

This is Robin...

I'm back. After being pampered and feeling like I was sleeping on a cloud at the Hilton in Cincinnati, ...its tough coming back to my old mattress.

I did miss MIke though

I haven't had a chance to read back...

Was Mike good?

Well that all depends on your deffinition of "good". He did great with cinnamon but know he has questions about Candy (our neighbor).

 

[Timon]

Not as funny as the squash BUT cute nonetheless!

 

[MinnMick01]

This is Robin...

Well, it wasn't a great hospital stay... Mom & Dad at least knew us, but Mom keeps saying "What are we waiting for." We tell her she is here because of her hip. She says, "There's nothing wrong with my hip! I've been walking around all over the place. What is this place anyway."

She has to stay until at least Monday. I know she really needs to go to the Rehab Hospital, but she'd have to be there for 5 or 6 weeks. My Dad can't go that long without her. Someone has to stay with him 24/7. (The last time she was in the hospital, he almost caught the house on fire.) We were hoping to have an in home therapist come in. That way we could keep Mom & Dad together.

There's just my brother, Mike & myself to care for them. We'll have to play tag team until she gets on her feet. But if we don't get them back into their regular routine, all h**l will break loose.

Sorry to go on, but I thought I'd just fill everyone in.

Thanks for all of your well wishes.

Robin

Please keep us updated as you can. We will be praying for a quick recovery and for your parents to stay together.

Is it ok for Chuck to join our Losers club on Yahoo although he has NEVER posted here? I'm so proud of him (and a bit jealous too). He's lost 14 pounds in one month!!

That is fantastic. I think he should join the group. Tell him to keep up the good work.

Cass,

If I ask real sweetly will change the names and send me one too?? DH is Curt and DSs are Teddy and Zachary. Many, many thanks!! Although my husband's career is in computers I could never ask him--too embarrassed about how lacking my own skills are--oh well, he wouldn't know the difference between a Chardonnay and a Merlot!!
