I went to the Y this morning and walked in the river for 35 minutes and then did 45 minutes of water arobics. Feeling really good then came home and ate all the stuff I shouldn't have. For two years I have sat here and wrote all the same things. Why do I do this. Why do I just keep on doing the wrong things. Why don't I feel like I deserve this. Why don't I love myself enough to do this. I know I don't feel good most of the time and I know that my weight is most of the problem. I have to lose weight so the will do the knee replacements so I will start to feel better. So why don't I just do it. What keeps me from doing what I know I should do.

Gwen great goals for the new year. How do you fix your fish? I have never like fish except the kind that is deep fat fried. I should really try some again. What kind do you like? I don't like fishy taste and that maybe why I like the fried kind because it doesn't taste like fish. New Year new goals. I be happy with just losing 10 lbs by my anniversary. Thanks for starting a new thread. Carol

Man Barb you don't pick easy goals. Good luck on both. I'm sure you can do it. Just figure out a plan and stick to it. It will work. Good luck and Happy New Year to all. Carol

Barb sorry to hear about the unfil. I know kinda what your talking about, I still can't eat a lot of meat without it hurting. I have to take a really long time for it to go down and then eat some more. I have thought maybe I should get a unfil, but so far of not done it. I still don't lose, but just play with about 5 lbs gain lose gain lose. Its really hard to stay motivated, but the new year is here so now is the time for all of use to get off our butts and get with the program. I know you can do this. Best of luck and keep us informed. Carol

Jen, Sorry to hear you've been having such a bad time of it. Hope you Christmas wasn't completely ruined. Carol

Gwen, Sorry you felt so bad Christmas day. Do they think its because you are not eating enough carbs? Vertigo is so terrible. Hope you feel better. I know you will be drink more Fluid also. Take care,keep us informed. Carol

Good for you Gwen. Its a very busy time for everyone and you seem to be doing so good at getting to the gym. Happy holidays to everyone. Hope Santa brings everything we all want(to lose more lbs this year). Carol

Janine, Sounds as if your doing very well. I very proud of for telling your story. I don't think I would have the nerve to stand up before a crowd and talk about this. Way to go and keep up the good work. Carol

Well, Sophia arrived around 9am and doing great. She weight 7lbs and 7oz and is 21 inches long. She is so cute. They wrapped her in a huge Christmas stocking. Thanks for all the well wishes. Carol

Get youself up and go to the gym. You will feel so much better. GET UP NOW!!! I'm going to have a new granddaughter tomorrow. Pray all goes well. Carol

Haven't post in a month. Time just gets away from me at times. I went to the ortho doctor today and she did injections in both knees. I hope this helps for awhile. I need to get back to the "Y". I'm going to try water arobics three times a week for awhile. Been doing twice, but I have to kick start this weight lost. She will not do knee replacement till I lose more weight. I keep telling myself that I will feel better if I lose more, but the more the knees hurt the more I don't do. Stupid cycle and I know it. Will do better, I keep telling myself that. Now I have to make it happen.

Maybe the binge was because your Dad's ordeal was over and you were just joyus that he is doing good. WE and I mean all of us binge for lots of reasons and not alway the same reasons. Glad you are back track. Stick with it and you will do it. Carol

Saw the ortho doctor today. She did injections. The first knee wasn't so bad, the second knee hurt like he doulble hockey sticks. We'll see how this does and she may do injections that put lubrication in the joints, after the corizone injections not sure about the other stuff. They do feel better right now. Have to take it easy for the next 48 hours and put ice on them. I really hope this helps. I want to get back to the gym next week. I think I will try going three times a week to the Water arobics class. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Carol

Janine, Good to hear from you. Glad your doing good. Keep us posted. Good day to all.

You guys have setup some really really good goals. I think yoy have inspired me to try to set up some new ones. I did make a appointment with the orthopedic doctor. My knee hurts all the time and I can't sleep at night. I just can't do the excerise that I need to, to lose weight. I hope she has some answers I'm really tired of this pain all the time. I want to do the fun stuff, I'm still to young to just hang it up. Thanks for all the inspiration guys. Carol

Hi Tabithan, Welcome to our group of steadfast banders. I also have not done so good, so your not alone. Just hang tuff and you will do just fine. Keep us post on how you are doing. Carol

I see that there is lots of views, not very many posts. Come on guys let us know how you are doing. We love to hear from everyone even if its not going good or if its great. Have a great day. Carol

Jeni, How much is missing? Hope you don't have a leak. What is the plan? We will be praying for you. Carol

Hi everyone! No change here. Don't like the cold weather but what are you going to do. Have a great weekend.

Well its been a long since I was here. I went on vacation and did really pretty good. I was at the my GP last week and I was done 10 lbs since I was there 3 or 4 months ago. He was happy and I was happy that all the good food we ate on vacation didn't have a bad effect on me. I did really good I don't know if it was because I was in a different place,but I just couldn't eat very much. I'm still making the all the wrong choices. All the bad stuff goes down really really to easy. I started yesterday to try to do better. I'm going to eat more protien and less carbs. I have a really bad problem with carbs. My AC1hgb was down to 5.7 which is really really good. I still haven't got back to going on a regular bases to the Y, but maybe in the next couple of weeks. Just seem like there has been a lot going on. My knees are still hurt really bad and hurt all the time. I just keep going, I know that I have to lose more weight before the will every do anything with my knees. Oh well guess I will go stand in line to vote today. I feel it really important to do, I have never not vote in a national election. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Life is was to short to spend it like this.

Juli, you are so right. You can't compare yourself to others. I know that I have good restriction, but that doesn't take care of the head hunger. I still don't eat as much as I did. I really did think I would not feel hunger, but I do. I fight it everyday and it get so depressing some days. My exercise is not what it should have been. Maybe I'm making excuses but my knees are really really bad. They don't want to do anything with them till I lose weight. I have been doing Water exercise and that does help,esp. with the pain, but its just not enough. I have increased my step count, but not nearly what it should be. Weight is just a number, but there is so much put on it. The news, the shows, and the magazines everywhere you look it about the skinny. Wish people would get off it and look at the person and not how the person looks. Oh well thanks for letting me vent.

Janine, Glad to hear it went well. Here to a good weight lose for you. Keep us updated. Carol
