  1. On the Internet, you can be anything you want. It's strange that so many people choose to be stupid.

  2. ANOTHER stall...... :-( seriously!!!

      I count every sinking pound I lost from my highest current. In the midst of a wicked steal that's going on 3 weeks now. Grrr.

      Non scale victories! Loose clothing/buying new smaller clothes, being able to cross legs or not having to use handicapped bathroom stall to be able to manure wiping, not being winded walking up stairs, people being able to put their arms around you all the way...etc. Noticing these things or keeping them in mind really helped me when the scale wouldn't budge during my first stall

      I wasn't allowed to even lift my almost 4 yr old until week 6. He's huge though, super tall for his age and weighs in at 40ish lbs. I was encouraged to get back into cardiovascular as soon as I was able. I wish I could tell you that my first time back in the gym was awesome but it wasn't. Took me a while to get my energy back. Glad to know how you're doing!

      I am so sorry to hear this. I will think good thoughts for you and your mom. Please don't put off taking care of yourself if you can help it. At 6 weeks post op I feel better and stronger than I have in YEARS. I'm sure your mom would agree that taking care of ourselves is how we are better able to take care of our loved ones.

      I'm so sorry! Is it cancelled for good or are there other considerations/appeals?

      I hope it's the latter.

      This is such a huge deal and it makes perfect sense to be nervous or anxious; I know I was!

      I wish you the best moving forward.
