I understand... I'm a blabber mouth LMAO I'm too old LOL Maybe I need to keep a low profile I might stay outta trouble

Whatever you do.. DONT FREAK OUT... I'm the Queen of Freaking just ask Tiff LMAO She was my savior LOL... Exercise is good..I'm SO NOT a exercise person if I was, I wouldn't have needed surgery so thats why my Dr said it'll come off but its coming off in the speed I give it. So I stopped freakin out.. I'm 50 I'm not young trying to impress anyone, I just want to live another 50 years So I can annoy the hell out of my kids still *Howling* YEAH!! You will do great... just stay focused and don't make it a "event" make it a journey that you're planning for I do my menu the night before and this way the next day I can go to my fatsecret on my phone and know what my day is going to be There will ALWAYS be support here.. this is by far the best forum... We've all felt it.. have cried about it.. have regretted having it at one point and have regretted not doing it sooner... we are all human and unfortunately are victims of our own insecurities.. You're GORGEOUS the way you are... you're on the road to a new healthier you

Excellent... Thanks for sharing... I was taking the Lady Fortress whey Protein tubes and was told not too cause it's a Calogen type protein... I hope this isn't I've been on Injury that I really like and I take it with MooTopia Milk from HEB that has 12 grams in the milk and 20 in the Unjury... Thank the lord for Blender Bottles! LOL I'll check this out

It's been a while since I was here... needed a break... I was on the dreadful stall mine lasted about 29 days.. i was freaking out big time! I went in crying to my awesome and incredible doctor and he told me "You're tracking too much STOP"... I use FatSecret.com and have it on my iphone cause I can barcode scan whatever I eat and not have to search... so I'm worried about Fat and Carbs and he said this and maybe it'll help others... Stop worrying about the Fat and the Carbs.. your main concern right now is staying between 800-900 calories and over 80g of Protein a day. If one day a week you go over 900 that is ok its a shock value to your metabolism but stop worrying so much about the fat and carb! I was trying to so hard to stay in the low fat and carb that I wasn't getting enough calories or I was getting too much and I have always done good on my protein that's never an issue for me... so when I stopped trying the fat/carb route and I went to just the calories and protein the stall broke and I started losing. He also suggested I try alternating my foods.. I am only eating the foods that "I" KNOW work for ME and I'm comfortable in those.. so I alternate between scrambled eggs for Breakfast and the day I'll have a Clif Builder Bar chocolate Mint that is so YUMMY and keep alternating... for lunch I'll alternate with the Chunk Swanson 2oz can with some cottage cheese and the next day maybe I'll have the tuna salad ready packet.. dinner is the same one day it'll be shaved mesquite turkey and ritz bits 100 calorie packets and the next might be the spam packet or the chunk chicken again.. In doing this I've lost and he also gave me some really good advise "You WILL lose weight no matter what, you have 1/3 of a stomach, you might NOT lose as fast as others and you might just kick butt.. but if you exercise you'll do better, if you aren't a exercise person you'll go slow, but either way the weight will come off it'll be only in the process you take" Now my biggest thing... is losing my hair.. it's like I went from thick and alot of hair like the width of a cucumber to now it's maybe 3 pencils.. UGH.. I've been on the Biotin 7500mg for 4 months and was using Nioxin shampoo and it still comes out in the brush about 30 strands or if i'm sitting on the couch it'll come out just freaks me the hell out! So I'm using Head & Shoulders with Zinc believe it or not its slowing it down ... amazing... So anyhow.. I've missed everyone.. hope y'all are doing great..
