    I haven't been online in a few weeks. The new house is finally done and we are starting to move. I also don't have inet access anymore due to the move and probably won't have any for a few more weeks to a couple of months. I have been doing ok and i will check back in when i get my inet access.

  6. 02/13/2006 Damn Thyroid

    · liberty2003 · 02/14/06 02:01 AM

    Ok, so i woke up with a really bad cold. I kinda feel like i am getting Bronchius or an upper respitory infection..So i feel like crap as it is and i was sitting @ work and my doctor called. She was like i got your blood test back from when you went to urgent care the other day. I am increasing your thryoid medicine because its way to high again. She was like this is something that can't wait. We need to try to get this under control. She also sd that my WBC (white blook count) is elevated which means i have an infection. She even called in my prescription to the pharmacy because she was like this can't wait. She wants me back in 1-2 months and if it doesn't show some sort of it going down she wants me to get a thryoid scan...Like i don't have enought stuff to worry about..

    Wow...I actually am feeling a little better about this whole thing. :biggrin1: I must have been depressed due to PMS. Tdy i took my neices sleigh riding. OMG..1 1/2 hrs in the FREEZING cold and it was still snowing. I had SOOOO much fun. I ache all over the place. I got plenty of exercise tdy. I still would like to work on the treadmill tonight..I haven't touched that thing in 3 weeks. I am happy i have lost 57lbs. Going up and down the hill sleigh riding was easier then it would of been if i was still 334.lbs. I found it easier to breathe. I got winded a few times but that was because i was chasing my neices around. :eek: I am going to do this!!!! ONE DAY @ A TIME!....I can't wait to get weighed in march! I want to be down @ least another 3 lbs so that i can make it to 60lbs lost. More would be good.
     
    I bought salad and soup for the week for work. I really need to focus on my food and exercise!
     
    Exercise is the KEY!!!
     
    so..I just got back from using the treadmill...I did 48 min and 30 seconds. I burned 240 cal and walked 2.06 miles...WOOOHOOO This is the Longest i actually got myself to walk at a time. I don't know something just kept pushing me...I found a comfortable speed and incline and the rest was history. I feel great!!!!!!!

  9. 02/09/2006 depressed

    · liberty2003 · 02/10/06 02:31 AM

    I have been having a VERY tough 3 weeks. :think My sister and her husband are separating and getting divorced. Its been very stressful and i have been going back to my OLD habits. :angry I am very depressed and been eating and eating and eating and not exercising. I keep making excuses and i really can't get back into the swing of things. My uncle's Cancer came back and he needs a bone marror transplant and we can't find a donor. We had one but that person backed out. :think The doctor already mentioned that he will die if he doesn't get one. So lets just say the stress level around here is HUGE. I keep thinking Oh one more day won't hurt. Yeah well one more day has turned into 21 days. I don't think i have gained much which is good but i can't seem to do anything right. I want to loose weight. I want to become healther,I DON'T want to fail.
     
    I keep dreaming about making it to goal. I am only down 57 lbs, My sister is already down 65+..I have a slow thyroid but i can't blame everything on that. I do get some protein but i don't think its enough. I have 127lbs left to go. I keep feeling like its never going to get there. I DON'T want to be fat the rest of my life. I have dealt with weight 20+ years and i can't stand it anymore. I want to have boyfriends. hell i want some FRIENDS.
     
    Ugh...
     
    I have a trip coming up in May. Its for work. I would like to hopefully be at least another 1-2 clothing sizes down. Right now i am in a size 26. I want to be at least another 25-50lbs down. I think i can do this if i stick my mind to it!
     
    i need some encouragement. Bigtime.

  10. My First Entry 1/23/2006

    · liberty2003 · 01/23/06 02:17 PM

    Today its snowing..I had to go to work three hours early because i didn't have a ride (dad took my jeep so he could get to work) I rode to work with my sister because we work at the same place. I am sitting here listening to my MP3 Player and going over posts on Lapbandtalk and obesityhelp. I am truly thankful that i had this oppurtunity to have this surgery. I honestly think that if i wasn't able to have this surgery i probably would of ate myself to death. I wish that i would loose weight faster then i am (averaging about 3-5lbs a month or sometimes 2 lbs a month) it sucks but i have just increased my exercise..We shall see..I don't get weighed again til 02/09. Last night i did 1.1 miles on the treadmill and i burned 125cal, Not bad for me. I was thinking about the plastic surgery part of this surgery..I am going to need it. The way my skin hangs and my arms flap. UGH..I probably and going need everything because my boobs have shrunk too. But i deserve it..I spent my whole life being fat and it will make me feel happy to FINALLY be skinny and healthy.I have 127 lbs to go til GOAL..I am hoping that the exercise will help me tone some stuff but i highly doubt its going to tone everything..I am thankful for everyone's stories, It helps to keep me inspired. I hope one day i can someone say the same for me. But for now..One day @ a time.. ;)Kristen334.5/277.5/???
