Hey everyone! Doctor appointment went good. He says I’m doin’ good! I think he has personality issues,lol! I don’t go back till March. Thank God!!! I’ve only been goin’ to him a few months so he isn’t familiar with my background. I told him, Ive been staying around the same weight, but I just bought new jeans, a comfortable size 14, last winter was tight size 20!!! Sooooo, I’m glad I stood up to him. He has helped me get on track with healthier eating and I joined the gym last week. I’ve been going almost everyday, and I feel great!! A little sore, but great!!!!!! Oh and that elyptical sucks!

Well, here we are another Monday morning, a new week, a new month! I’m not really likng the scales or myself too much this morning, but I’m thinking it is time to get on track again. My dreaded doctor appointment is today. I was going to cancel, but I am going to go, hold myself accountable for my actions.When it comes right down to it, I only have to answer to myself! Have a great day today!

Wow, lost 8 last week, was doing soooo good! Gained 5 this week! I would like to say that I don’t know what happened, but that would not be the truth! I have not walked,exercised, actually I haven’t done much but feel sorry for myself. I feel like crap! I know only I can do it, so what’s the problem? I have all the right things here to eat, so I do eat that stuff,but, this week it didn’t stop there. One night after going to bed, I got up and got ice cream with strawberry and chocolate syrup and almonds slivers!A big bowl full and then I decided I needed something salty, so I got a bag of nachos.GREAT! I felt terrible, not only my stomach, but, WHY do I do these things?I have no motivation, no energy, and apparantly not enough willpower right now. Tomorrow I have dr. appointment, and I can hardly wait for that.. I actually thought about rescheduling, but why, whats gonna change?PHEW!!! So how’s everybody else doing? Oh yeah, and Happy Halloween!

Well, I don’t really know where to begin! I,ve been here close 2 weeks and have decided I need to spill my guts! I’m 51, my weigh in this morning was 173.5 lbs, I’m feeling pretty good about that. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at age of 10 and osteoarthritis at 30. so weight is definately a big issue with me.I have arthritis pretty much everywhere. I’ve had both hips replaced, need a knee and blah,blah,blah!!!I was up to 220 in December, so I’m making progress. In May I got new physician, my old pcp passed away.Well I’ve been walking with cane for about 3 years, which I was using when I went to see new doctor. He examined me and I’m thinking my weight then was around 175, he told me If I didn’t get this weight off that i most definately would be in a wheel chair within 5 years. well needless to say it was a reality check for me. He sent me for physical therapy and I started eating healthy with guidlines that he gave me. I was doing great till maybe end of July, I was down to 171 and feeling pretty good.  The therapy ended and I was walking trying to exercise, was outside alot and I stopped using my cain. Big improvement for me.I have taken pain pills for years, no more no less. being without them scares the crap out of me, I move much better with them. Last doctor appointment I was 175, that was in September, I went for severe headaches I’ve been having. he pretty much told me I ate too much sugar, I take too many pain pills, I have poor posture,WOW, he blew me away! I was not happy, I thought I was doing so well. Needless to say I really went nuts after that, I’ve been trying to take less pain pills, I was up to 181.5,(making my pain worse),a vicious cirle. I know I’m rambling, but,I’m soo frustrated. Nov. 2 is my my next appointment and I am dreading it. I am back on track and I know I have to do this. I”ve been trying to join the gym, but can’t seem to take that step. I am so celf consious, but determined to not use that cain again. I guess I could go on forever, but, I stop know, going to go walk and going to have a great day. Hope you all do the same!!!!!!!!

Wow,been here a week and weighed in at 174.5 this morning. I’ve been working really hard. Every hour is a challenge. But so far sooo good!!!!I woke this morning with more energy than I have for awhile, not to mention it was 4a.m. Might be a long day. My 4 year old grandson will be here at 7:30 and he will be raring to go. Have never blogged before, so new to all this.Everyone have a great day!!

Hi, just want to say hi to everyone, I’m new here today and looking forward to being here!
