Cheryl...

Welcome back Cheryl and good luck on your 6 months appointment on Thursday.  Just try to keep your chin up and keep plugging away even if the news isn't what you want to hear.  I know the feeling...I seem to be stuck right now...I go up on the scales but right back down the next day so I know its just fluid but the scales dont seem to be budging after my 65 lb weight loss...I know that one thing I said before is my energy level has soared through the roof and I have gone straight through the house, even though right now I am a little sluggish because I have a sinus infection...I know, I know one thing after another but I am strong and will overcome all these sicknesses.  I go through this every winter, as soon as the kids are back in school and all the germs are flying I am sick, lol...That's why I need to keep getting healthier and maybe my immune will fight off some of this better.  I know another thing that sometimes gets me down is, I am still diabetic.  I had been hoping that it would go away and who knows it might still with more weight loss and more time, and not so much sickness, like infections that put it up.  I can say however, that the amounts I take is a lot less than it used to be, and when I say a lot, I mean a lot!  Anyway I am sorry I turned this into about me, but just wanted you to see Cheryl that you are not the only one out there struggling and to keep your chin up and sooner or later it will all work out!  Take care...Angela

Thank you Angela, I know what you are saying about sickness vs kids,  my dd is a teacher and is sick all the time.  I don't know why, when she was a kids she was healthy,  Knock on wood, I very healthy, other then arthritis, I hardly get sick.  I'm feeling alot better now about my weight loss, I am totallly ok, with the slow loss as long as there is a loss, I went 3 month with nothing, THAT was very discouraging, and I tried my best to be possitive.  I feel now, after my last fill, at least there is a small loss.  we'll see what happends on Thurs. and I get another fill,  Not sure how much Dr. will give me,  I will def. need to be careful, cause I do get stuck and slime now, maybe 2 times a week.  I don't want to throw up, so slow is good for me right now.  thanks again, Hugs, Cheryl
