What's on your Thursday Menu?

No problem at all! It's not nosy in my book since it's getting to know someone who turned up a few months ago who posts a ton. :)

I'm socially deficient online and this site isn't always user friendly. I didn't know you can't always message since I've messaged exactly one person so far. I don't mind sharing...it's just super hard on a main board. Not trying to be standoffish. And I'm the same...have deleted several photos so far. I know...am weird.

This is an amazing community and I'm so glad to have found it. It's not the people on the board I'm concerned about. :)

FYI A lot of users have it required to ad as a friend before you can message them.

Thanks Mel. Cue the blank "oh" face for me! As much as I've clicked around and explored to read people's stories, you'd think I would know that already. I just assume people don't want to be bothered when profiles are private! :) Haven't touched anything relating to friends on here yet.

Appreciate you.

Good mornin everyone.

I've been awake since 11:30i****'s going to be a long long day. I'm just really hurting. PT went ok, they have finally fixed the pool so next week I start aquatic therapy.

No big plans for the day. I'm hoping to stay home and not get out. Sometimes a home day is needed.

QOTD: I'm Melody but usually go my Mel. I'm from Amarillo, TX. I've struggled with weight almost my entire 41 years. I am not a true success story for WLS...I've only maintained a 40 pound loss. I have had serious health issues that have limited my mobility and affected my mood/depression. I've had three back surgeries in the last 4 years. I'm mom to two cats, never been married and I'm also part mom to three pups. I'm a craftaholic but really gravitate to chainmaille. I'm pretty good at it too, I've made well over 10 tutorials for original designs.

B: oatmeal, pb and coffee

L: Tuscan split pea soup(soup mix bag)

D: probably more soup

S: unfortunately chips, gf waffle and ???

pics of my baby cats...

Good news that have the pool fixed; I know the aquatic PT was the recommendation. Hope it helps!

Thanks! I think it'll be nice to be in a heated pool!

40 pounds is still a lot! You have so much going on, and as the people at work like to remind me...this is a marathon and not a sprint. You've put in so much effort, and you're on the journey. Pulling for you.

Aww thanks! I do appreciate it.

as they say...we are our own worst enemy.

Melody,

I'm excited for you and the pool. My grandmother had severe arthritis in her back and a herniated disk. It helped her tremendously.

Thanks! I think it'll be really good for me. Esp since it's a heated pool!
