RAFL - Joyce

Good job maintaining this week. Some of your extra pound may have been from dinner last night. Many
of the asian places use a lot of soy and teriaki sauces that have too much salt in them. Increase
your water today and it should flush out in no time.

Hot diggidy, Joyce. Your visit to the doctor was a day to remember. The fully-clothed WI, the blood
pressure, the resting heart rate... All of it is so wonderful. Good for you.

I look at what you've achieved and tell myself I can do it too. Thanks for the inspiration.

Wow that is what I would call a super-NSV. It is so great to see your doctor proud of you and it is
some kind of reward for a job well done. I hope the being cold will indeed just be an insulation
thing. Although I still have a long way to go I 'm much colder than I used to be.

Thanks Laura. I really was happy, and today I did a much better job of getting my water in - which I
hadn't been doing too well with. I do think the family was a bit irritated with me constantly
chasing them out of the bathroom though. <G>

Laura said:

Good job maintaining this week. Some of your extra pound may have been from dinner last night. Many
of the asian places use a lot of soy and teriaki sauces that have too much salt in them. Increase
your water today and it should flush out in no time.

Thank you, and you're welcome (for the inspiration). Those victories are few and far between these
days, so I take 'em where I can find 'em. I know you will get to your goal PR, have no doubts
whatsoever. You have come incredibly far already, and if I remember your stats correctly ... you are
getting really close now. Keep hanging in there!

I wasn't able to *officially* weigh yesterday, so hit the scale this morning instead and had much
better results than I anticipated ... considering the week I'd had eating anything that wasn't
nailed down. Up 1 pound to 130.5. This is also after going out to one of those asian type places
for dinner last nite, that cooks the meal in front of a group of people (similar to benihana's).
Great meal, but I have absolutely no idea how to figure points, so I just gave it my entire days
balance of points. <G> Broth soup, salad/ginger dressing, shrimp, chicken, veggies and a little
bit of fried rice. I purposely saved the rice for the end, found myself not hungry and everyone at
the table was already finished ... so ate maybe 1/3 of a cup. Either way, accurate or not, I am
happy with the results ... maintaining again.

I had an SV <scale victory> Friday morning. Couldn't officially weigh in, had a
dr. appointment first thing in the morning and was too pressed for time to hit the basement.
Choice was shower or basement ... figured the Dr. would appreciate the shower much more. <G>
First victory ... this was the very first time in 20 years that I have allowed the
nurses/doctor to weigh me in the office. In the past it always has been my refusal, telling
them I knew I was overweight and approximated my weight at ???? whatever. I relayed this to
the nurse as I groaned about getting on the scale. Her reply was, "well you are just a little
bit of a thing, so what are you afraid of?" I laughed and told her she was obviously new at
the office. Onto the scale I went .... drumroll please ........ 132.5 fully clothed in jeans
and sweatshirt! Definitely under my goal, WITH the clothing allowance - and probably agrees
with the scale this morning adding 2 pounds for those jeans/sweatshirt. WOOHOO!!! Doc came in,
looked charts over, big smile on his face. We discussed my being constantly cold - he said
"we'll run some bloodwork to make sure, but it's more than likely because you've lost all your
insulation ... you've lost what, 70 or 80 pounds?" Now remember, this was because my previous
chart was my guessing at my weight, which I under estimated by about 20 pounds. So I gently
corrected him and told him "damn close to 100 pounds". LOL! Needless to say, he was even more
thrilled. So all I await for now are the bloodwork results, hormonal [censored], thyroid,
cholesterol, etc. Blood pressure was
100/60 - pulse 70 ... I'm guessing the pulse is lower finally due to the treadmill work (I used to
rest around 85-90).

Hubby is having fun telling everyone that between the 2 of us we have lost 100 pounds over the
past 2 years. What he doesn't tell them is that all but 2 pounds was lost by me. <grin>

Joyce

Thanks Fred. Hub is a hoot, guess that's why I continue to keep him around. <G> I guess I have to be
happy with yearly victories now ... few and far between, but still absolutely wonderful.

Fred said:

Congrats on those victories behind YOUR scale.

I do like the way your husband puts that FAMILY weightloss! (G)

Keep on maintaining it is going well

Thanks Julie. I was surprised that I gave in and let them weight me - I usually won't. This was a
new nurse and she just wasn't going to take no for an answer. LOL! Maybe because she didn't know me,
I mean .... guess they could understand my hesitance towards jumping on that scale before, but she
sure didn't understand it as I appear now. I'm also hoping those tests come back normal, but part of
me is hoping the hormone part doesn't ... would at least explain a lot of what I'm dealing with
lately. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I'm sure the cold is due to the weight loss, doesn't make sense for it to be thyroid or I would
assume I would have had a tougher time losing the weight. Does that make sense? The past few weeks
I've also been going through some odd hot flashes and other wierd non-threatening things. Figured as
long as we were yanking blood out of me for the standard cholesterol stuff - might as well take it
all and get a thorough workup. I will say though, it is much nicer in the summer not having to deal
with being overly hot ... easier (and nicer on the eyes) to put on an extra layer than to try and
strip them off. <G>

Wow that is what I would call a super-NSV. It is so great to see your doctor proud of you and it is
some kind of reward for a job well done. I hope the being cold will indeed just be an insulation
thing. Although I still have a long way to go I 'm much colder than I used to be.

First victory ... this was the very first time in 20 years that I have allowed the
nurses/doctor to weigh me in the office. In the past it always has been my refusal, telling
them I knew I was overweight and approximated my weight at ???? whatever. I relayed this to
the nurse as I groaned about getting on the scale. Her reply was, "well you are just a little
bit of a thing, so what are you afraid of?" I laughed and told her she was obviously new at
the office. Onto the scale I went .... drumroll please ........ 132.5 fully clothed in jeans
and sweatshirt! Definitely under my goal, WITH the clothing allowance - and probably agrees
with the scale this morning adding 2 pounds for those jeans/sweatshirt. WOOHOO!!! Doc came in,
looked charts over, big smile on his face. We discussed my being constantly cold - he said
"we'll run some bloodwork to make sure, but it's more than likely because you've lost all your
insulation ... you've lost what, 70 or 80 pounds?" Now remember, this was because my previous
chart was my guessing at my weight, which I under estimated by about 20 pounds. So I gently
corrected him and told him "damn close to 100 pounds". LOL! Needless to say, he was even more
thrilled. So all I await for now are the bloodwork results, hormonal [censored], thyroid,
cholesterol, etc. Blood pressure was
100/60 - pulse 70 ... I'm guessing the pulse is lower finally due to the treadmill work (I used to
rest around 85-90).

Hubby is having fun telling everyone that between the 2 of us we have lost 100 pounds over the
past 2 years. What he doesn't tell them is that all but 2 pounds was lost by me. <grin>

Wow that is what I would call a super-NSV. It is so great to see your

doctor

Quoted message said:

proud of you and it is some kind of reward for a job well done. I hope the being cold will
indeed just be an insulation thing. Although I still have a long way to go I 'm much colder than
I used to be.
