Friday Roll Call

Happy belated bithday Dee! Glad to hear it went so well. I hope the cold passes over you. Take care,

Happy Birthday Dee!                        

Snow, well we got 7 inches. school was cancelled..Yea! I don't have to go out. So the grandsons and I are going to make valentine boxes. They will have a few fights as usual when they spend too much time stuck together.  I was going to go to weigh****chers but I think  its safer to stay home. Its about a 25 mile drive.  I think I will just clean up the house some run the vacuum and play!!!!!! Have a save commute to and from where you all will travel today!! Stay WARM!!      Karen

Good Morning Pam, and Illinois... Well it's a SNOW DAY!!!  LOL... The kids are home today... I am up and trying to drink as much water as I can before my water aerobics class, hoping for NO migraine's today! I am thankful the rec center offers child care! I have a Dr.'s apt on Monday with my PCP re these headaches... I hope everyone has a great Friday stay safe and warm! Lucy it's so good to hear from you... Michelle I hope you are doing well thinking of you! Marilyn I am thinking of you too! Blessings Jenn

Good morning Jenn! I was just sitting here thinking about you and your headaches.  Then, I realized that you are about 4-5 months out and I remembered my "KILLER HEADACHES" at about the same time.  They were awful and I would get them at least once a week and certainly more around "that time".  My surgeon would not do anything and sent me to my PCP who told me to keep a journal of when I had them and what I tried for them for a month or so (blah, blah, blah....).  I told her that I would do that, but I needed some help immediately.  She wound up prescribing "Imitrix" for the migranes, but she didn't really want to. We decided that they were hormone related.  When you lose a lot of fat quickly, a lot of hormones get released and cause havoc.  I also had huge problems with crankiness and downright anger, which is not my normal personality.  Funny thing is.....after having to almost fight with her for the prescription, I only had to use it one time.  The hormones straightened out and I have not had a really bad one in many, many months. I hope you get some answers, but I wanted you to know that is may be a temporary thing that can go away as quickly as it began. Good luck!

Dawn......Love the reply to Jenn,   I haven't had those headaches but just call me a biatch!    That's been my problem and what you said makes sense!   Thanks!

I would NEVER call you that!

Hi Dawn... I didn't get a migraine today! WooHoo!  Thank you for sharing with me maybe it could be that for me too... I do find myself more cranky... lol... more than usual anyways... Jenn

Boy oh boy did we get slammed here in Mokena.  I am going to work from home today.  I did my weigh in and lost another 2 pounds.  I might be near an adjustment in the next few weeks.  I am finally in the 220's!  Just by a pound, but I am there.  I did something I thought I would never do last night, and put my earring back in.  I am making a whole new me, and it is the me I want to be, not what others are telling me who I should be.  I am so happy with that. Ok I think that is it.  Stay safe out there!

Dear Barry: Glad to see that you are having a good time discovering who you are and who you want to be.  It IS kind of exciting, isn't it?  I think we spent so many years trying to be what others wanted, or at least trying NOT to make waves.  A little confidence goes a LONG way in making us feel better. Good for you!
