 Topic: Loosing Weight
Posted: Jul/23/2010 at 10:24pm |
|
I lost only 3 more lbs but I've been at this plateau for a long time..So total is 48lbs since last year. I had bought a whole new wardrobe of size xxL or size 2x and now down to my size 14 but now size 14 are baggy on me. I think the heat is making me melt away the lbs. I had to have another treat from DQ again. I really enjoyed it! It makes a difference when normal size people have a treat occasionally but me before I could eat a lot of treats all the time so once in awhile I think it's okay now.
Keep up the good work everyone.

Sara, I ate a pint of ice cream yesterday! And I'm still just at the beginning of losing weight, so I feel kinda bad about it lol. I havent really lost much significant but I'm really hoping that once I can move around more I will be able to start losing. Im still doing good with my meals and snacking though, so hopefully that ice cream wasnt too terrible 
Congratulations on your weight loss too! Thats great! It must be easier to find clothes now too! I hate how hard it is to find good fitting, comfortable, affordable clothes in a plus size. Did you/do you have that problem too?
Keep up the good work, for you one treat every once in a while is perfectly fine if you ask me :)

Pseudotumor cerebri and chronic daily migraines, causing moderate to severe pain constantly for more than 9 years now. OCD, generalized anxiety disorder, depression, PTSD, and panic attacks which started in adolescence (except the PTSD) and are generally controlled by medication, but when under stress show up and cause more severe pain.
I pray for complete healing for each of you!

Way to go Monie and Sara!! I used to wear XX2 but am around 14-16. But when I find
cloths I like I keep buying X1 Or XL. For some reason I'm buying too big. The 14-16 look
too small, and I hate trying on cloths, I hate thoes changing rooms ha. I'll figure it out
some how. Well you guys are doing great, Keep up the Great work.

 1st injured Feb, 1997. Was told it was "Soft Tissue" and sent back to work - no X-rays
Late 1997 attended 1st “Rehab Program” to strengthen back. Mid ‘98 PCP took me off work. Tried going back to work over the next couple years, mostly off work due to pain.
June 2000, met with OS for first time. Did MRI , damage was L5-S1 totally blown out. Surgery done Jan, 2001.
Another Rehab program late 2001, attempted to go back to work early 2002. Slipped on water, fell flat on back – screw fusion broke.
Went to 3rd Rehab program summer 2002.
Oct 2003 – 2nd Surgery, due to broken screw, had to operate from the front.
No improvement. Attended 4th Rehab program in 2004, at time it was decided NO work.
March 2006, had 3rd Surgery, this time fusion and instrumentation from Si to L3.
June 2008 Surgeon finally admitted I had Failed Back Surgery.
August 2009 WCB Finally put me on Long Term Disability
