No game

Awesome! Congrats fiddle

Thanks butter and Amy! I feel good that I've even kept it up. And yes butter it's all in the quicker lighter steps I ran "slower" yesterday, and it was harder! Amy I went through the food thing last week

Yep that's me!

Nice to see you back butter! Ok I was on the treadmill again yesterday but did not exactly do c25k all the way I just wanted to jog and see what I can do... Yeah I'm still terribly out of shape! So later this morning I will be doing week one AGAIN! I might be the only person in the universe that cannot progress past week one...

Genetics..... My family is a mixed bag when I had this surgery I was definitely the biggest in what's left of my family. Addiction issues run rampant in my family. So I know it's a coping mechanism for me. I can trace it back to being 5 years old (and very skinny) and watching my then almost separated parents fight about me. My mom would force me to sit at a table and eat, my father would yell at her for "forcing" me to eat. My father would have me over and yell at me about what she was doing. He became obsessed with my weight in the years to come. He left me to live with the woman who was a drunk and all sorts of other things.. I would only speak to him once every couple of years (my moms fault he would say) I still remember standing in my moms kitchen on the phone with him asking if I was "still fat". I saw my father at my brothers funeral 6 years ago. At that time he told me about a cousin I used to like when I was a child. He said she was coming to the funeral soon. He told me about what a beautiful woman she turned out to be bright and pretty! The funny thing? When she walked in? She was bigger than me!!! I wonder what would of happen if my father had told me all those years ago that I was pretty or at least not called me fat??

And I might add there are plenty of "skinny" Women.. Hell....skinny Botoxed, breast implants, tummy tucks and all! That don't love their bodies But others including husbands and boyfriends do...

Wondering how you are today? Hopefully you found out what the problem was (is) and found some relief

You are right swizzly!! We have been trying to add everyone, but have made a mistake here and there. Sorry. But I'm glad you found your way here!

We forgot coops!!!! Just sent an invite Umm... Who is that strange woman?? She popped up outta nowhere!

Amy have you thought about going back to the previous stage? Obviously I've been doing week one for months now.. So I'm not and expert. But maybe your pushing to hard?

Oh daisy, Alex said he's the only one that can do stickies.. Well him and the admins. I gave him the stuff so hopefully he makes one.. I might be wearing thin on his nerves these days though...

1/4 cup or 2 oz at a time is a more standard measurement in the early days for "food" you should take in an ounce of liquids every 10 minutes or so if you are on liquids still.

At this stage measure your intake and do not go beyond it. Your stomach is numb and most likely you will not feel anything. The full feeling will come in time. Did your surgeon give you amounts to shoot for?

My husband came home ( he's a ER PA) And gave high five me on my "diagnosis" He said ER for you! There is a possibility that you are not responding to the cipro... But sounds like stones. Edit: I am not a doctor! so take what I say with a grain of salt

Kidney stones?? A kidney stone may not cause symptoms until it moves around within your kidney or passes into your ureter — the tube connecting the kidney and bladder. At that point, these signs and symptoms may occur: Severe pain in the side and back, below the ribs Pain that spreads to the lower abdomen and groin Pain that comes in waves and fluctuates in intensity Pain on urination Pink, red or brown urine Cloudy or foul-smelling urine Nausea and vomiting Persistent urge to urinate Urinating more often than usual Fever and chills if an infection is present Pain caused by a kidney stone may change — for instance, shifting to a different location or increasing in intensity — as the stone moves through your urinary tract.

From the website.. But of course most of us are not eating 2000 calories.. Do I need to calorie count on Feast Days? Or is it really true I can eat whatever I like? This is one of the most common questions – it has both a simple and a complicated answer! The simple version is: yes, you can eat what you like including all your favourite foods. There is no need to calorie count on Feast Days, as research shows that bingeing is unlikely, and it’s very hard to eat so much that you exceed the calories you’re not eating on Fast Days. The slightly more complicated answer is that many 5:2 people do keep an eye on their calories. This does risk boredom as one of the benefits of this approach is you don’t have to obsess about portions all the time. Many of us find that calorie counting and limited eating on Fast Days is more than enough to help us a) appreciate the foods we can eat on Feast days so we naturally eat slightly less or pick healthier options and understand how much we need to sate our hunger. In general, try to allow yourself to enjoy food on Feast Days. But if after a couple of weeks of following this plan, you’re not losing weight, you could try adding up the calories you’re eating on an average Feast Day, If it’s more than about 2000 calories for a woman or 2400 for a man, you may want to think about how you can cut back a little.

All day back and forth and he just now said this I'm on my app though??
