WEDNESDAY'S WEIGHT IN WORKSHOP~~

[selmaS]

Hi All....I was wondering how many want to use this thread to talk weight loss so we can have our own Biggest loser !!

U can weight urself and use the trackers here or use the way ur clothes fit as ur guide and u don't have to tell us what u r  size wise...just what is working for u. I have a tape on breathing exercises to help reduce weight......I will try to clearly explain how to do them .

So who's with me ?

[selmaS]

ok..well I know I still did not lose ne weight...me one else making progress?

[selmaS]

If u do that u will never go...make the time and go now!!!!

[*Stormy*]

Selma...yes a good thought...I hate walking on poor decks anyway...so gross!!

I heard back from the kinesiologist that does water rehab...now I just have to find a time that I can actually go....I'm sort of tempted to wait until September..lol

[selmaS]

Carolyn get water shoes...it wil help with the slippery deck!! I have a pair and wear them in the pool...there r great for in ground as teh bottom is concrete and can hurt ur feet : )

[*Stormy*]

LOL...yeah I got the "whoa Nellie" thing too.....I was really worried for awhile b/c I always used exercise to keep the weight off and I didn't know what to do!! I think I have got myself on track now...eating often has really helped me not want to binge on the bad things.

Selma- I have taken the kids swimming a few times and I totally know what you mean!! It is slippery too and I walk so awkward on the deck that I always have all the lifeguards watching me like they are going to have to catch me at any second. My DS's had swimming lessons and the younger one made me walk on the deck with him in front of all the other parents...oh well for the most part I am used to it...
Still haven't got a call back which makes me a little apprehensive about it, I like it when ppl are organized and return calls!!

[selmaS]

Well the problem could be what labs were done...many with Hashimoto's if only testing TSH may have a "normal" report even tho there is an issue...and u can switch btwn being hyper and hypo...so it is best to get a more in depth set of tests done.

LMAO...OMG...sorry but ur "whoa nellie" has me laughing much too much....lol.....

[scnhollins]

i think they checked that a couple of years ago and all the blood work on that was normal.  i've never really had much of a problem with weight.  i worked in a factory job where i ran myself to death somedays.  it was a very physically demanding job and i loved it.  i used to call myself "pleasantly plump"  but it's heading into the "whoa nellie"  region.... :o)

[selmaS]

The same exact thing happened to me : )

do u have a thyroid issue as well?...I thought once I started meds for it I would finally see weight come off, but it seems to take some time to regulate these meds....so I deff need to keep active : )

"selma"

[scnhollins]

i seemed to have gained weight as well.  the menacing pounds were very very sneaky...while my neck was still in the brace, one would tap on my right shoulder, getting my attention, and the other would sneak aboard on my left side while i was trying to make out what the hell was on my right shoulder...they continued this for a little while until a total of 20 extra pounds was clinging to me!  i have yet to shake the miserable things off!  
seems like i always mean well and make these great sounding plans to go for daily walks...and then i have a really bad pain day or i feel so exhausted i just want to sit on the couch, slack jawed, with my head supported.  
not the best way to lose weight....

[selmaS]

I had aqua PT b4 and I really loved it...I had atrophied muscles in my right leg from a brace I had to wear...neway....it did help with the muscles...and I had no idea I had chiari at the time....the biggest problem is walking up and out of the pool...they keep the water at a certain temp..very warm and when u go to leave it is as if there is a magnet holding ur legs down...very odd sensation : )
AS a dancer my DD had kinesiology (sp) classes...if only she was closer to help out her old mom...lo....

I hope that guy returns ur call...sounds like a great      plan : )

[*Stormy*]

Yes swimming...I actually contacted my local pool..it appears that they have a kinesiologist that works with ppl in the pool for rehab...Sounds really good to me! So I called the guy about 5 days ago and left a message and haven't heard anything back.. Maybe he is scared to work with me?? I was really excited b/c basically he gives you things to do in the water and then you can do them on your own. I guess i will call him again...And they have daycare for DS (the littlest one) there!!!

[selmaS]

posting early for our friends in different time zones : )

[selmaS]

As soon as the weather allows I will be at my sisters pool....lol.....DH built a deck so I can get in the pool...her ladder was not attached and wobbled all over....not good for someone with balance issues....so now it is safe to get in.

I really hurt today...I think it is the cold weather....I hate the cold.

I look forward to the warm weather and swimming : D
.....and hopefully some weight loss...whoooo hoooooo

[*Stormy*]

I know that is still the biggest problem...getting exercise in as that is that one best way to lose weight. I went back to doing my PT exercises after not doing them for the week and now all I feel is PAIN!! So frustrating b/c I want to be active!!! Not sure what to do...maybe try swimming next? At least you can get some cardio w/o the strain on your body.

[selmaS]

well, I can still wear my wedding bands...so this is a positive : )

Nothing more has happened for me weight wise...I thought with all my work on my project....I was fairly active ...but alass no....lol...but I am still drinking my water b4 meals...and inbtwn too...just had a snack of carrot sticks...usually I eat fruit for my snack...but I enjoyed teh carrots too : )

[*Stormy*]

Well I stepped on a different scale and it said that I was about 4 pds lighter than the one I stepped on 2 weeks ago...who knows it just might be a scale difference but I am going to take it anyway!!! I have noticed the the "muffin tops" are slowly disappearing!!

[selmaS]

Soooooooooo how is everyone doing this week ?......

[*Stormy*]

Well you gotta start somewhere LOL

Mine always goes first at the place I don't want it too...

[selmaS]

Well DH noticed I had my rings on...not that they were thinner...I was being funny...lol.....neway...that is a plus and I hope it means I lost  a bit more than just my finger fat...hahaha

[*Stormy*]

Ha ha..well it's a start isn't it and at least he noticed!! I finally said to my DH yesterday..haven't you noticed that I lost weight? Of course his reply was..you always look good...yeah good cover to avoid the other question!

[selmaS]

yeah...DH even noticed my fingers looking slimmer...hahaha

[*Stormy*]

Yea Selma good for you!! Hopefully we can both keep it up!
Carolyn

[selmaS]

well.I figure I must have at least lost an oz...lol...I can wear my wedding band again...my DD said it could be that it was cold again the other day...I said It was cold all winter...LMAO....no, I must have lost some weight in my fingers.....at least I am losing some.......

[selmaS]

well...I am happy for u, but....dang...nothing not an ounce... :*(
