  1. I came across this on FB and thought I would share. It helps to explain it for some of us who have been questioning it! Hope you can see it.
  2. I would like to know the same thing! That is the one thing I miss!!
  3. Congratulations!! I am hoping to reach that goal myself!! Keep up the great work!!!
  4. Absolutely my husband knows now and has known at my highest!! (400) He loves me and doesn't care what I weigh! He is happy for me because this is what I want to do for myself and he supports me 100%!
  5. I don't own a full length mirror, but I am not afraid to look at myself in a mirror anymore! It's hard to believe the changes that are happening to my body!!
  6. I have the fitbit force, love it! I have it paired with MFP as well. As far as accuracy, not sure. I guess with any type of pedometer, etc may be open for some discrepancies. I use it as a tool to gauge how active I am. I am finding I am not as active, outside of the gym, as I thought I was!! It helps me to walk more steps and use the stairs instead of the elevator. If you put it on your non dominate arm, that may make it more accurate.
  7. Scratch that,, i figured it out!!!
  8. Ok, i have tried to add a couple of you on to MFP but I can only add via email.
  9. I have used mine for 12 years!! Love it. At first I was also claustrophobic , but now I can't imagine not using it. My PCP said I would probably always need it because I have enlarged tonsils. I would have to have them taken out! My husband also uses one. I always said we would never be abducted by aliens, if they came at night!!! Lol
  10. I know how you feel. I work in a retirement community and there is Always sweets around!! I have no desire to eat any of it! I have not had sugary sweet anything since august of last year!! Hang in there you can do it!!
  11. I use MFP, I also have it tied in with my fitbit! Haven't used any others so I can't tell you if it's better or not.
  12. First day checking in: CW 244, My goal for the challenge is to be at 235!!
  13. I will have to check it out.. I have been stuck for a couple of weeks now. Thanks for the info!!
  14. 6 weeks. Physically I would have been able to go sooner. But my Doc wants you off so you can get all your fluids and nutrition in. He says it easy to get busy and forget to drink.
  15. I found Biotin at Sams that you can chew! I wish I had known about Biotin before surgery, as I would have started it then! I have noticed some hair loss, I have a lot of hair, but I can tell in the top front of my scalp. Hopefully it will start to grow back soon!!
  16. Hi, welcome! I am fairly new to this site as well. Yes there is a lot of great info and support here! Keep up the great progress!! Danni
  17. I was given liquid Ibuprofen for the weeks after my surgery, and now I can safely take Advil as needed. I used to be a daily user of Advil and Tylenol. Now I may take Advil once every 2 weeks!!
  18. I would say no! Call your doctor!
  19. At 2 weeks all I was allowed was walking. I would one mile around the track at my gym. Fitness trainer said no machines.
  20. My hospital bill alone was $50,000.!!!!! I don't quite remember how much the insurance company actually paid. Out of pocket was bout 2800. Norm surgery. 3 nights.
  21. The one thing I miss is popcorn!!!! I don't crave sweets anymore. But man oh man I could eat me some popcorn!! But I don't dare try it!!
