skiiergirl Posted July 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Belle....thanks for the great poem! Always a treat! Down 0.2 (yep zero point two) but at least it is “down”. Hope everyone else has a good “down”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labmom3 Posted July 19, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Wow, Bella you are so creative!! Loved your poem so hot here it is very appropriate! Well some how this week I lost all of my vacation weight and am back to where I started before the vacation 17.8 lbs till my cruise goal. I am at 91 days till cruising so this is doable if I stay firm in my commitment to exercise and healthy no processed foods diet. I must have had a lot of salt in my food when away to gain and lose 6 lbs. so quickly. Hope everyone has had some success this week either in pounds, inches or exercise achieved! Have a great week!

pacruise804 Posted July 19, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Nice acronym, Belle:cool: Congrats on the losses, skiiergirl and Labmom3 :D I'm up again this week:rolleyes::eek::mad::loudcry: - only .8 and still down from my Feb/Mar cruise, but very frustrating. Hoping next week is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katmu Posted July 19, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Up .2 this week. I’ve been fighting a recurrent migraine and nausea but not exercising. I’m starting a short course of prednisone today so I’m a little worried about how that’s going to go. Hopefully everyone else has a better week.

nyer Posted July 19, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Belle, love the acronym. labmom and skiiergirl, congrats on the loss. pacruise and katmu, sorry about the gain. Good luck next week. katmu, I hope that you are feeling better soon. I am down 2.2lbs this week. I am 0.8lbs away from my cruise goal weight. I leave Saturday morning to fly to FL and embark on Sunday, so it is possible to be a goal weight by the cruise. If not, that is okay. I'm closer than I thought I would be. I will miss next week's weigh in, but will see you all in two weeks. Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winewanderer Posted July 19, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Hello, Great poem Belle. I lost the 1 lb. I gained last week. Good but need to keep losing more. Labmom, yippee, great losing. Rose, good loss for you too. Have a wonderful vacation. Skiiergirl, small loss but in the right direction. Katmu and pacruise, sorry for the gain.

Jan_In_Maine Posted July 19, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Sometimes I am truly amazed at this weight loss journey .... this week, I didn't eat as well as I should have and only went to the gym once. Truly thought I would be up a few pounds, but for some reason I am actually down 0.2# ... I will take it! Hope everyone is having a great summer ... Its been very warm here also. Rose - have a wonderful time on your cruise ... Enjoy! Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well:( I struggle with exercise when I get my recurring migraines. Are you able to predict when one is coming? My doctor recommended (and I find it works) to start pain meds before it starts - or at least at first sign of pain - since it's easier to manage/control mild to moderate pain than waiting and dealing with stronger pain. Prednisone is no fun:mad: When I've had to take it there was weight gain as a side effect, but it quickly dropped once finished.

Have a fabulous cruise:cool: Congrats on the loss Jan & Diana:D I can normally feel a migraine coming on. They have been occurring more frequently this summer as we seem to be having a lot of thunderstorms and the barometric pressure always seems to trigger me, plus my work and school schedule isn't helping. I'm normally on Topamax as a preventative plus I take Rizatriptan when I start feeling one coming on and that usually works until the last couple of weeks. In the past when I had to take prednisone, I tend to not be able to eat at all but I'm not on as high of a dose this time so I'm hoping it will be easier. Glad to see Rose, labmom, jan in maine, diana, nyer and skiergirl are all down this week. Well done everyone.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retiring soon Posted July 20, 2018 #14 Share Posted July 20, 2018 HI all! Belle ~ I look forward to seeing your thoughts in words of encouragement. katmu ~ sorry to hear of your suffering, hope you feel better soon! Jan ~ finally a loss even if you didn't expect one! It's funny how it goes!!(y) Rose ~ have a great family cruise! I cruised with my sister on Oasis & had a great time. She did too although she never cruised again. She has a cottage & a place in AZ besides her house so usually goes to them rather than travel. I was surprised that I was down 0.8 lbs but I'll take it! Have a great week. ~ Jo ~ :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted July 21, 2018 Author #15 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Anyone a night owl like me? If you are, come in you might find me. Jo a loss is a loss you know, they add up. Surprise loss's are the best! Better than a gain when we expect a loss!:eek: Everyone have a good weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacruise804 Posted July 23, 2018 #20 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I'm usually not on much during the weekends. I used to be a night owl, but my husband has turned me into a reluctant morning person. I'm too tired to stay up late anymore ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted July 23, 2018 Author #21 Share Posted July 23, 2018 pacruise I use to be a "normal" sleeper but the years of taking care of my husband really messed up my sleeping habits. I know people don't talk much during the weekend. Busy with things. But I try to see if "people out there" want to talk or vent on what their eating or what their doing. Have a good week.

pacruise804 Posted July 23, 2018 #22 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Belle, my mother-in-law was a 3rd shift CNA for 20 years before retiring, but kept regular hours on days off. Her sleep schedule is also still out of whack. I don't know your details, but {{hugs}} for taking care of your husband. Caring for loved ones is in our nature, but it is certainly rarely easy. Thanks for looking out for all of us too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted July 24, 2018 #23 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I am usually wandering around during the wee hours of the night ..... but this weekend I just got my kindle and my night light and read from about 1:30 to 3:30 .... perhaps I should check in the future to see if you are awake ... It would be nice to have a friend to talk to during the night. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etta1213 Posted July 24, 2018 #24 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) KATMU - a friend of mine said acupuncture helped with migraines on the occasions he used it. He also has RA. My daughter is a migraine sufferer, and we talked about her trying botox. Any experience with that?? Edited July 24, 2018 by Etta1213 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etta1213 Posted July 24, 2018 #25 Share Posted July 24, 2018 BELLE- I'm a Night owl too. Retired in May and wind up getting days and nights backwards. Had to be up and out early this morning, sluggish and yucky most of the day. Now tired but not sleepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
