Soldiers Wife

Some people may take this the wrong I apologize before hand. It bothers me when I hear military wives say they are single moms. Honey I'm sorry but a single mother is responsible for not only taking care of her child but also provide the income. My husband my be gone a lot but I haven't ever considered myself a single parent. I feel it is a insult to my husband who works hard to...

Searching

I am looking for anyone out there that has a child born with gastroschisis. Just to chat or compare notes what ever :). I have a bad habit of overreacting or thinking the worst thing possible am I the only one who does this? He is a happy healthy 5 year old now and EVERYONE tells me that I am neurotic about how he was born. Anyone got any ideas or tips anything? feel free...

Gained, but back on track

Well, the Easter Week-end was not so good for me. I helped my sister-in-law renovate her restaurant all week-end and of course she fed us. This was very nice of her to do so but of course there were not a lot of good choices for me. I gained 3 lbs. on the week-end but I have gotten back on track again. I lost 2 of those lbs. yesterday and am rooting for the other to...

Canadian Buddies,eh!

Greetings fellow Canadians! I am back. I have not shared here in a while but I must say that this 17 Day Diet is definitely effective as I managed to keep the 15lb lost off over the summer and did not stay on the diet! This proves to me how it is most certainly effective and works. Well, I am back to Cycle 1 once again and feeling fantastic and full of energy! Please visit...

Fluorescein Angiography

Anyone have this done? I'm getting a referral from my eye surgeon to have this procedure after he's been monitoring my eyes for years. Because I've been diabetic for 40 of my 43 years there has now been what he thinks is leakage in my right eye. I'm thinking this is just a prevenative measure but he did say that if there is leakage, he will have to perform laser eye surgery to fix it. ...

Nissen Fundoplication Surgery

I recently came home from the hospital after having surgery for Hiatle Hernia repair and Nissen Fundoplication surgery . I am having difficulty with the diet (trying to find stuff I can eat ) they gave me a pamphlet but some of the foods I eat that they say I can eat feel like they get stuck and I feel as though I am in constant pain. I really dont want to take percosets all...

Again w/ the kidneys

Sorry haven't been able to get back sooner. Weather WAS too good not to be outside. So I get the prep for the kidney test. (Same stuff you drink for a colon test.) 1 1/2 hours to drink it & 4 1/2 hours on the toilet. LOL I get out of lab for blood work at 8:30am & the test is for 10am. Blood work doesn't get back till 11am. At lab the nurse couldn't find a big enough...

struggle

It has been a rough week. I work at Washington Dept of Corrections and we went through a horrible loss. A loss that no one wants to imagine but one that we also know can happen. I can not begin to think of what the family of Officer Biendl can be going through. every year I think that when I have to go through defensive tactics I will be ready next year, but year after...

Mandatory Flu Shots

Well if a healthcare professional did not take the flu shot I would not be upset, because after sitting in the waiting room for the doctor, I was more afraid of catching the flu from the patients then the healthcare professional because MOST healthcare professionals at least wash there hands, use antibacterial gels, & or gloves. I do not fear the professionals but the patients in the waiting area. Also, individuals are always...

First Week down, tick!

Day one of my second week. Still tentative and not as confident as I want to be, but that will come. Went out to a party last night and was terrified that I would eat all the appetizers on the platters and perhaps even the platters themselves... but I was FINE! I had some grilled shrimp and then ate bits of tossed salad decorating the platters, then for dinner I chose a greek salad with...

Going around again

Hello, SDD, it's back to the beginning for me. I've been sitting around spreading in every direction and it is time to get back to some healthy eating and activities. Think I have been on a depression spiral since the loss of my brother. It manifested itself in my being alone a lot and foresaking my routines. I've knitted quite a bit, but little else. After attending a class reunion and seeing pictures of me...

Are there any SDD out there from the beginning of this site? Vote Now!

Allergies to sun rays

Does anyone know what to do about allergic reactions to the sun rays? I have an allergic reaction after being in direct sunlight after approx. 10 mins. Oddly it affects only my lips. Any solutions/treatments out there? I'd love to be able to go outside and not worry about my health.

Burning Calories

Well, I have stuck to my diet, so far. No sodas, sweets or carbs, for 2 weeks. I have also been drinking more water throughout the day. Saturday we went to a birthday party. There was pizza, cake and ice cream!! I resisted...I was so proud of myself! Luckily there was a veggie tray and dip, so that is what I ate, and I drank 2 bottles of water, while I was there. I worked...

Biggest Loser

I tried to post this last week...but I guess I did something wrong. So, I will try again. I am participating in the Biggest Loser with some of my coworkers. We had our first weigh on Monday, January 3rd. We each paid $10.00 into the pot. We are to weigh every Tuesday after school. If we lose weight we celebrate eachothers accomplishment. If we gain weight, however, we have to pay $1.00 into the pot....

Day #5 17DD

Well, today was the start of day #5, cycle #1. I'm down 4.5 lbs. Feeling pretty good, although I get drousy in the afternoons. So pleased with the results that it encourages me to keep it up!

Back on track

I am finally back on track. I started the 17DD January 24th and have lost 59 lbs. I had abnominal surgery 10 weeks ago and was told I could not exercise and my weight should remain stable. I could not believe it, I worked hard to get where I was and now I have to stop everything. I dropped 15 lbs immediately following surgery, but then stayed the same for 1 month. My doctor said I can now...

Back to the Routine

Well, the summer holidays are over. I went for our annual sisters holiday for 10 days. We went to a warehouse sale and the clothers were so cheap it was fantastic and everything that I tried on looked good. I spent just over 100 dollars and I got 5 full outfits. Love the new clothes since I hardly ever buy anything new cause I am usually dissappointed when I try things on and they don't...

YES, I GOT MY BOOK

I WAITED ABOUT 22 DAYS FOR MY BOOK TO ARRIVE. TODAY WAS DAY 1 FOR ME AND NOT BAD. I MADE TURKEY PATTIES FOR BREAKFAST W/EGG WHITES. I BOUGHT CASCADIA FARMS YOGURT AND THAT WAS GOOD TOO. TONIGHTS DINNER WAS A BIG SALAD W/GRAPE TOMATOES, CUCUMBERS AND LOCALLY GROWN LETTUCE TOPPED WITH A BALSAMIC BAKED CHICKEN. I CAN DO THIS.

End of Day 1

I made it thru day one without too much of a problem. I had a very busy day in store. I hit the gym first thing to get my exercise in. Since I am not a newbie to exercise I got my 3 mile walk/jog done prior to a long day ain the office. Once I am working, the day flies by so I don't have much time to think about food. It's when I...

To be absolutely honest I hate all holidays. I feel they are based on the amount you spend instead of the thought. I think all holidays should be removed from the calendar

All of this while still working the 17 day diet. I have 5 more days on the second Cycle and then moving on to the next Cycle. My weight is at a stand still, but I'm taking the it is...
