Hi ladies....Juneau....congrats...I remember you posting before and thought what a powerful photograph...way to go.
Mcook....what a beautiful picture...love your page....it's going to be an amazing experience.
Ireland, so sorry about the cafe!!!....sending prayers and thoughts that everything will be ok.
Yes, the weight loss gang....guys you are all amazing whether you gained, lost or stayed the same. It is true what somebody said (can't remember who and I'm too tired to go back and check) but you ARE all getting healthier with your new eating plan....minus the beer, wings, ice cream and MARTINIS, of course...😡....the dietitian here wants to keep
reminding you to focus more on your measurements.....don't obsess about the numbers...they will come, I promise 😘0 -
Juneau very neat picture. Even though I didn't experience that, your pic definately hit home.
Mcook, Very nice application. If you come through Iowa I will definately cheer you on.
For those on the weight loss adventure I am at 216 today. I think that is what I quoted last week but I have a plan. Found a new free program at the Y in our area that is through Livestrong. 12wk program that you meet twice a week with a trainer and work out for an 1 1/2. Think this is just I need to get myself on track.
Ireland, heres some positive vibes that your concerns are nothing.
Believe, Received my bracelets today and love them!
Have a great weekend everyone!

mcook- your bio made me cry! I'm so proud of you, you can do this. How are you feeling today? You aren't doing anything too strenuous are you?

So I am about to be the speaker at a 12 step mtg tonight. The topic I've been given is gratitude. Boy is that a tough one for me these days. I Should be glad I'm alive, but I still get stuck in the fact that the being glad is a direct result of having fucking cancer! Even if I am NED. *sigh*. Hope I bring a strong message that helps but just one addict who may be still sick and suffering to find another day clean. Thanks for listening ladies!

Go knock em dead Juneau. I have a nephew who has started doing something similar and he has found it so enlightening. Still can't picture him as a public speaker but that is his new normal and it's saving his life.

Juneau - good luck tonight I was at a stress management clinic this week and when she asked me to say things I was grateful for I was at a loss of words
I wanted to say I am happy I am still here, that I love my life etc but I could find the words at that moment. I think this is why I needed this challenge to feel alive again not just sitting on my dam sofa every night or entrapped with daily work. I don't have kids, a husbands or even have allowed myself to settle down and buy a house I kept putting my life on hold to become my successful and be happy with where I was now I don't know who I am some days especially after BC because every has changed so maybe during my walk across the country I can figure this out and walk or run until I do

MCook - wonderful photo on your page. Great smile and your nieces are adorable. Really, so proud of you! I'm in Northern CA - if you get even close, I will come to hug you in person. (Don't apologize for typos - you are doing better than I am on my iPad - I can't make it work on this site at all (asks for Cookies - sounds fattening, I have to either use my iPhone or computer)
Juneau - you will be sensational tonight - I can't imagine you NOT doing well talking about any subject!
Blessings - thanks for the encouraging words. I am disappointed but NOT giving up on losing weight.

All of you are incredible!
Tazzy thank you!

Juneau,
Little late with my reading today. I wish you the honesty that you share will touch another addict who is still suffering. I always love the speaker meetings. Especially NA as I relate to them so much better than AA, however, I always get something from whatever folks share.
Hugs, Sheryl

Mcook....we are proud of you no matter what....that goes for everyone here....such a bunch of wonderful strong women I'm proud to call my second family. Some of you test
my cheerleading abilities with talk of beer, martinis, cake , wings..oh, I'll stop here...
Feel another massage coming on....lol....ladies, have mercy...it's hard enough being 65 AND a cheerleader....be kind to the ole gal.
Seriously gals, to come here and laugh, cry sometimes, with you lot, is the best medicine
in the world.
Ok, this is where I could get thrown out here.....gentle reminder for you Super Bowl fans.....NO SHOPPING FOR BEER AND WINGS....big brother is watching. 👀
Love you all. ❤❤❤0 -
Scottie you are going to have to look the other way, I can't do celery and carrots during the Super Bowl, I will just have to ride the bike extra long today and tomorrow in preparation will that pass?

Hi guys, so after all the dr appts. being fine this week, Thurs night i turned over in bed to the right and got really dizzy. Got up slow to go to bathroom and back to bed...again to right was dizzy. Looked online and saw BPPV, a type of vertigo ( I have never been dizzy) but said they do epleys maneuver where you put pillow behind shoulders and lie down quickly with head to right then left etc. I did this and boy the room was spinning! yest was ok while I was up and took it easy. Last night I went sleep was ok...just a bit when I turned, but today when awake i feel a bit off only when i turn my head. I have never had veritgo and of course my mind goes to very scary places. I am fine when I sit still, just when I move head...so debating if I go to urgent care of hold off and call pcp on Monday. I hate being scared!

Aruba- I would just call to check with you doctor did you have any colds in the last week that could have settled in your ears? I maybe would just call so you don't have to worry all weekend? Ugh hopefully it is nothing but getting dizzy probably isn't something you should ignore
0 -
Aruba-do you have any sinus congestion? I was getting dizzy at night when I rolled over but I had stopped taking my allergy pills. After I started those back up it has stopped but like you I freaked out at first and was ready to make a phone call. Mine was only when lying down though not sitting up. Sending ((hugs)) try not to panic just find an answer.

I do have allergy and roof of mouth was really itchy last week which is a sign of allergy. But nose has been good...no cold or anything. I am fine if I don't turn my head real fast...boy can anxiety rear its head fast.

I will be interested in what you find out too. I have those little dizzy spells when I go to bed too. I think we are both taking Arimidex? They go away, so I didn't think much of them.

Believe, I thoguht about Arimidex too, but have been on it since Nov 14th with only some small aches in finger joints etc. till now.

I have heard of a lot of cases of vertigo this winter and from what I have heard, the docs have chalked it up to a virus. A good friend's mom was in hospital for 8 days with it, had a ream of tests and all came back negative for any disease.
Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

Sorry Aruba hope you get it figured out soon:)
Ok ladies I just peaked at my results from exchange surgery and only you will get this. I just cried I don't like them and they will never look normal again. Yeah they are just boobs or so people think but they look ugly! I am so sad but I will pick myself up and move on just need to have a good cry by myself on this one. Speaking of the conversations on DH I have never cried in front of him because he could not handle it. He is great at somethings but open communication is not one of them so frustrating because sometimes I just want to be able to share and talk with someone and he can't.0 -
mcook, hugs to you! I am sorry you are so upset! I haven't had my exchange yet, but I know a lot of people who have and they all say to give it time. Those darn squishies take a while to drop & fluff into shape & some take longer than others.

McCook - I'm sorry you are sad. Maybe they haven't "settled down" yet? I only had a lumpectomy so I don't know what you are feeling but I hope you are feeling all of our arms around you in comfort while you let it out.

Aruba-I take my Arimidex at 9:30, they basically knock me out. I'm asleep by 10:30. So much for insomnia being a side effect. I have the joint pains too, mainly in my right wrist. I started them around June of last year. So I guess we cross that off. No sinus problems here either.
