Never heard of this. Yes, amino acids are essential for good health and all fruits and vegetables, grains and beans have amino acids, you don't need to get them out of a bottle. Getting your amino acids from natural food will mean you are getting all the other nutrients your body needs as well. I've tried weight loss pills and all other types of concoctions in the past and would not recommend them to anyone. Good luck with this if you decide to do it.

Topic: Amino Acid
I joined a gym today with my mother and the lady was talking to us and encouraged us to do an Amino Acid Diet, has anyone done this b4? It seems like its really good for your body but I dont knwo for sure, b4 I commit to trying it im going to talk it over with my primary care doctor and see what his thoughts are about it? He wants to give me Phentermine pills to help lose weight, I dont know if thats a good idea either being that they are very addictive. I am starting my thyroid medication tomorrow and i keep having peopel tell me that the weight will start coming right off i guess something is wrong with my thyroid. But back to the main reason for this post lol, Amino Acid Diet, have you heard of it or tried it what do you think?

Topic: Steroids Suck
Good evening losers! (I mean that in the fondest interpretation....)
I had my last iron infusion this morning (last of this series, at least) and the megadose of decadron is messing with me something fierce. My sugars are way too high for me (did use insulin to cover them) and I have been snacking on both healthy and some unhealthy choices. I hopped on the scale and the number was appalling.....blech!
Ok, I know that the steroids are wreaking havoc with me right now. I'm not asking for help understanding that. What am I asking for help with? NOT WEIGHING until Monday. :) Last week it took a day or two for the icky steroids to clear out of my system. My plan is to stay the course with only healthy choices this weekend, and then Monday I am sure the scale will show a better number.
However....
I am a compulsive weigher! Naked in the morning, before and after pee, before and after shower.....during the day.....it's a disease, I tell ya!
So I'm going to have to be accountable. :) I know it's a simple thing, but those dang numbers are lousy - they lead to all sorts of head games, ya know?
Off to bed to sleep it off.......

Topic: RE: What are you celebrating and proud of? Friday
Thanks!
Yes, as long as I am within 2 lbs of my goal I can go for free (have to weigh in once a month but I can go weekly and I plan on weighing weekly anyway...).
Kudos on your 5 miles.

Wow Ruth - that LifeTime Membership has benefits too right? Like you don't have to pay or something when you attend? LOL I'm sure your parents will enjoy hearing that.
Sherrie, I too look at what my weight was when I was a teenager and thought I was fat - OMG I could only hope to get close to that. I think that all of us probably feel that way.
I must be the only person on the planet who has never joined WW - never attended a meeting. However in their early days, long before the point system, I had read some of their books and cookbooks. I even read a biography of the founder of WW. LOL didn't do me much good as I became morbidly obese.
My proud today will be my 5 mile walk and I have to give all the credit to my DH for those 5 miles. He gets me up and going and keeps me moving during those 5 miles. He needs the walking too and somehow when you put the two of us together, we get it done, but alone, neither of us will do anything except act like a potato on the couch. It works well, when I'm not in the mood he pushes me and when he's not in the mood I push him. And this mall walking routine started with rehabilitation to help get me mobile again when I couldn't stand up from sitting on the couch without help and I was desparate not to be put in a wheelchair. I would never have guessed that we would still be walking and enjoying it for this long. The other thing was I picked a goal of walking 5 miles just out of my head - it sounded good - at the time I could barely walk 1/7 of a mile without have to sit and rest before another 1/7. It took many weeks just to get up to walking a 1/2 mile with multiple rests in between, And it took, it seams almost a year before I could walk 1 mile without any rests. It just goes to show you what you can do if you are terribly persistent.
I say this to encourage others that no matter how hard it is to begin exercising, and no matter how long it takes you to reach a level that you are satisfied - it's worth it to keep working on it.

Wow Sherrie - he could do that at 4 years old - that's quite an accomplishment at his age. Not only is that skillful but also shows great concentration.
DH and I do silly stuff too - you know, jokes revolving around bathroom humor etc.

Last night my daughter and grandchildren were over visiting. The youngest, Max (4) was showing us how he can shimmy and raise his eyebrows up and down at the same time. He had us in hysterics. Then his older sisters encouraged him to dribble a basketball at the same time. Well this is one heck of a coordinated kid...he could do all three and the concentration and expression on his face was priceless! I wish I had a video of it all. I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time!
We all need some silliness in our lives to put things in perspective.
