10/11 Roll call and goals

Bravo, Bravo, Bravissimo!!! Congrats on the goal - what a wonderful accomplishment, Carolyn!! Did you get out on the bike this week? Hope that you did before it got too cold. Wow - I thought that I had a big age difference - 2-18 - you have a similar situation. Only difference is that I'm not sure that I'm done. Hope your week has been good. God bless, Andrea

Oh Andrea, do let me know what you find out with the nerve test and MRI, my blood work came back good as well so am interested in seeing if it may be something else!!! Hope you and your family are feeling better now! My goals are.... -no grazing -exercise I have 4 children...Zach who is 18 and a senior this yr. Deric who is 16 and a junior. Kiley who is 15 and a sophmore. Dustin my baby is 9 and in 4th grade. They are all very active in school, and church! I cannot have anymore! Have a good week, Janet Schmidt

Janet, Sorry that I didn't respond any sooner - it's been a hectic week! The nerve test went well - got the s#*t shocked out of me because they use electrodes and needles to test the nerves. But the doc said that there is no nerve damage. The MRI was too long and noisy. I've never done one of those before. I went in freezing and came out roasting. I think that I started to have some claustrophobia (sp?). Anyway, should know about the results of that by Monday. Wow - with your kids, do you have time to do anything or focus on you? Hope that you got in some exercise and didn't graze this week. By the way, when are you coming to the Quad Cities? God bless, Andrea

Hello Andrea, I hope you get feeling better. I have been doing much still walking everyday i'm going to join a gym next month so my goals this week are about the same like every week walk drink water eat less carbs I hope it goes better then last week. I have 3 daughters Ashley 12,Kim 11, Emily 7 and not having anymore. take care everyone Laurie

Laurie, Sorry that I didn't respond sooner - hectic week! Remember, I was told that your body gets used to the same exercise over and over. Can you put a little jog in your walk? That might save money instead of a gym. How are things going for you? I worry about you. Hang in there and God bless, Andrea

My goal this week is to GAIN patience and understanding with co-workers and subordinates! My life has been one big stress ball from hell lately! My idiot tolerance level is almost nil and if one more person asks me "gee, should you be eating that?" or "are you still losing weight, you sure look smaller"...DUH! I am SO SICK of all the questions, looks, and hearing behind my back that I took the "easy" way out. GRRR!! I have 1 14 yr old son, and we hope to have 3-4 more after I get about 100 more pounds off! MY DREAM is to have 4 more 3 boys and a baby girl...a girl needs all the big brothers she can get, and I think 4 big brothers would be a GREAT #! ANYONE...if you have any clothes, esp a winter coat size 24, or 2X LET ME KNOW PLEASE!!! I need size 24/26 jeans, 18/20 stretchy pants and XL tops. HELP! someone please!!! before i have to run around nekked...and we all know THAT would NOT be fun for anyone involved!!! LOL Tracie

Tracie, Hope that your week went better for you. Sorry, can't help on the clothes, I have sisters that have taken them all. God bless, Andrea

Sorry so late! Firstly, I hope things go well with you, Andrea! Secondly, my goals: Make it to 1 support meeting; Make it to the gym 3 times this week water, water, water. Protein! As for the OT question. I have one daughter, 14. Hubby and I would love to have another. We might start seriously trying after my weight loss. Enjoy your day and keep us posted! Kay

Thanks for the well wishes, Kay! Things were okay - I'll find out Monday, hopefully about the MRI. I hope you made it to the support group meeting. I go every month - hubby knows just to count on it. I certainly need the support here and at my the meetings. I plan on having more kids after weight is off, also. I think they are truly blessings from God! Hope your week went well and God bless, Andrea
