My since of direction sucks.  Where do you meet for lunch?  I work in Woodlawn.

Can't meet this Friday, but I will be available for others.

HELLO,

MOST Friday's a bunch of us get together for lunch in the NW area of Baltimore County.  The venue changes but often its Panera on Rt. 40. around Noon...  very flexible

Not sure where we are going this week but so far Angie and I are on Board for lunch..


anyone else free???

This friday September 2, 2011  Lunch at 12 NOON at Al Pacino's Cafe at Festival of Woodholme in Pikesville right off the beltway and Reisterstown Road.

I missed Hump Day.  Had a dental procedure at 8:00 a.m. (extraction and start of an implant), took a vicoden and was totally out of it.

On the way home, I thought of this board - I stopped at the Cow in Reisterstown and got a kid size yogurt.  I remembered a member talking about the Cow and several memebers of this board meeting there from time to time.

Must say that I feel better this morning - only a little pain and swelling.  Time to get ready for work.

Have a great day all.

You are doing fantastic 50 pouns in 5 weeks is nothing but awesome.  There comes a point in time when the body has to catch up with all that constant losing.  That is when you see the inches just melting away from your body.  You should measure on a monthly basis.  You will will be astonished with your results. 

My doc always told me to take a multivitamin, a b complex, calcium citrate 2 timeas a day a B12 shot once a month an iron daily and a vitamin D supplement.

When you are early out you are at your highest of malabsorption. Taking your vitmains daily should be religiously.  Like Nessa said it  is imperative because you can have permanent damage.

I am at 4 1/2 years out.  I always take all of my vitamins as instructed and I am not having issues with my vitamin D2 it is deficient. I also have vitamin B6 toxicity.  So both situations are dangerous.  I can have peripheral nerve damage for a long time. I am not on Vitamin D2 50,000 IU one time a week.  I also have to keep away from the B-6 until it goes back down to normal.  So please be careful and know that it is very important to always take your vitamins correctly.

As for the cookie you did you forgave yourself and you moved on.  Which is great but if you start early trying stuff like that it will just be a slippery slope from there.  Just being honest.  If you give yourself the first year to lose all of the weight that you need to lose weigh then perhaps you can reward yourslef then.

Swimming does count so continue on on what you are doing. 

Wishing you all the best. 

Sincerely,

Cira
