  1. Words I never expected, chiro says I have arthritis in my back!

    1. #MagicWithinme

      #MagicWithinme

      I said how can that be as active as I am? Well since the time I stopped the zumba due to lump, it gave the arthritis a chance to set, if that makes sense. so now I have to be careful of my back, she said I should of had another set of x-rays done after weight loss to check spine which other dr didn't. it clearly shows my spine unaligned. I asked so he's just been fixing the same problem that would never have been resolved? she said yes, and he never should of been doing adjustments in the area of the lapband, as big as it is, no wonder it hurt. So now I have now transferred my chiro care elsewhere. The pain will go away, the bruising will heal but the trust can't. And she said as healthy as everything else is, I'll be able to do zumba again..

      That's good that you can Zumba again.

      I have fibromyalgia, arthritis, stenosis of the spine and a few other things but I still ride the stationary bicycle four times a week and do some walking the other days. I do nine miles in 40 minutes on the stationary bicycle.

      I'm so glad that you have gotten to someone that will help you feel better and that won't harm you in the process.

      Feel good.

      The strange things we find in our purses and yours was a wonderful heavy present from your little love.

      What will you find the next time your grand baby plays near your purse.

    UNEVEN BOOBS

    I was lopsided before I got surgery, and I'm sure I still am, but it isn't something I stress about, too many other things going on! Good Luck!
  5. Total senior moment, went to grocery store with hubby , totally forgot my pin number when I swiped card, my husband said its the same as mine, and I remembered his. OyVey!!

  6. Got a chiro adjustment Monday, looked at my tummy big bruise, where dr. "adjusted me" going back tailbone hurts. sometimes I forget to remind him

    1. Chelly

      Chelly

      My tailbone sticks out and it's very uncomfortable to sit or laying on my back. Now sleep on side. You could say I have a boney butt. LOL

      Chelly exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all of a sudden there is NO padding in that area.. went to chiro again last night, said fix me but don't touch that area, I was off Monday by 3/4 inc, and last night by 1/2 inch and I sleep with a pillow between my legs buts it just my own body adjusting ,,, will be thinking about butt check implants if this continues !!!

      I know how you feel it seems my back side is hurting more now that I have lost weight from carrying all the weight before I now found out besides the bulging , detereating, degenerating discs in y back I have 5 fractures on my spine , next step is seeing a orthapedic surgeon , because the ciropractor said for me being adjusted is temporary and it would not help any more and I can not sit for a long time with out it being uncomfortable .

  9. I saw my self in the zumba mirror there I was wearing big clothes, and I was feeling big, next morning wear closer fitting closing I looked so different, Put away the fat zumba clothes!

    1. Debbie3sons

      Debbie3sons

      Nice , ya you kind of notice when there are big mirrors around , or when other people are telling you that the shirt is swallowing you so you don't really notice till it is pointed out or you have to keep lifting your shirt so it's not hanging or you have to keep pulling up your pants even with a belt on or other things keep up the good loss work.

  10. Are you living your dream, or one someone told you you should have?

      If you're talking weight loss, I think we are lying to ourselves if we only say it's our dream. We don't live in a vacuum. I have been very influenced by my surroundings. But ultimately, it has been a dream come true!

    Do any of you...

    that's exactly what my doctor asked me, when I was hem hawing, about setting a date. and in truth I could not have lost the 65 lbs that hung around my tummy making me looking a brown umpa lumpa. If there's one thing I would change, it would be to do more research on it. very pleased with results. It should not be a daily struggle to know what to eat, but for some it is is (me) only because we are still unsure of ourselves.

    Very depressed ,Need help and guidance :((((

    I agree bandster hell is horrible to have but it's not terminal! you do come out of it. Remember as we all have to, we didn't gain all our weight in a few weeks, it took years, why would we think it's going to come off in a few weeks? You will eventually reach a time when you will lose the weight and not worry about the numbers, its about how healthy you feel. It's hard not to worry, but don't worry, follow your doctor's suggestions, anytime you feel bad it's ok to say so, and there are times we do need to talk to a therapist and its ok. Not only is our body changing everything about is. Best wishes and good luck!
  15. can we say ate wayyyyy to much today?!?!

  16. too much fiber is just as bad as too much protein, jus't cant find my balance still

  17. I do fiber one 90 calorie bars, usually in the am, have been pretty regular taking these including lots of veggie/fruit cups. Beans, I tried to eat a fiber bar in the afternoon and my body won't "let it go down", I tried it 2 different days,. I figure my body is saying I have enough, and I can sure tell the different when I don't have enough fiber,
  18. I'm losing it..

      that anxiety when I see a full plate of food, thinking automatically omg, how and I going to eat that and realize I don't HAVE TO!!!, Today hubby and I ordered same thing, phillipino food, yum and I only ate 1/4 if that, my hubby took the rest of it for his dinner (works nights)

  19. What would geng shui say? I bought some Scentsy and all 3 scentsy were yellow in color

    1. #MagicWithinme

      #MagicWithinme

      This morning I jumped into the shower and what did I see? All 3 body washes (bottles) were yellow!. hmmmmm, sorry that's Feng shui

    2. BigGirlPanties

      BigGirlPanties

      lol...my favorite scentsy (and my husbands) is sweet pea vanilla... LOVE that scent... have the little warmers plugged into the bathroom outlets for nightlights... so cool... and they are pink/purple... which is where I tend to go ;)

  20. Ever talk to someone who is so sweet and nice, all the time but the moment you say the wrong thing, the facade drops and its like you are talking to a different person? I can no longer trust someone like that.

      At a new management job years ago, I inherited a secretary I mentally thought of a Elizabeth the Snake. I even had a small rubber snake in my pencil drawer to remind me to not trust her or believe anything she said.

    I cried for an obese man

    I can so relate, a few months ago, a large lady feel here at work outside, and she was not able to get up and we could not touch her, (liability stuff) the fire department is right behind where I work, they were here in minutes and then they called 2 more trucks. so total 6 people,to help her sit up, she was not so much hurt but embarrassed.. I was inside the office, I started crying, and my co-worker was what's wrong with you? I'm trying to explain to her, I understand and feel her pain, the embarrassment. She said you were never "that big". I 'was that's not the point, but I could tell she just didn't understand. Unless you've been in that position, you will never know what it feels like.

    Red Zone is NO JOKE!

    and remember even after he unfills you there will be refill but your stomach will still be sore, so still take it easy on the food.
  25. I choose to roll up my gym pants ,not because they don't fit over fat calves, I choose to wear hubbys teeshirts, not because they are the only thing that used to fit me! NSV!
