tami j 277 Posted January 19, 2014 Thanks don! I will be trying to go to them, but was really hoping to find someone to carpool with. Guess I gotta go to see who comes from ft worth so we can take turns driving! I have heard excellent things about Thinspirations and look forward to joining! Shall- yes I was so tired after being out with hubby for less than 2 hours, then cleaning house, getting flower beds cleaned out and setting up workout room. Took 2.5 hour nap! All week this week I was tired a lot at work, think it was from extended tom. Sorry don :/ Before that I was okay energy wise, so hope it was just because of that and my energy comes back this week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mama Spike 144 Posted January 19, 2014 Shall-I have been exhausted too. Doc says it will be a month until I get energy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barefeet 73 Posted January 19, 2014 Are you guys taking Biotin (10,000) and B12? Biotin is part if the b family and has an energy aspect, I think that is helping my energy, but my hair gets really greasy on day 2... I think that is also a side effect of the biotin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tami j 277 Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) I started Biotin dots Monday, forget to take some meds on the weekends, that was one of them! I haven't noticed my hair yet, but it's only been 5 days since I started it, will have to see what happens. Hoping my nails will get stronger at least! I have been taking B12 since out of hospital! For some reason I have only forgotten that one a few times on the weekends! Edited January 19, 2014 by tami j Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mama Spike 144 Posted January 19, 2014 I am taking Biotin and B12. I am going to restart my coq10. That helps my energy but it is only a Gummy not chewable or liquid.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mama Spike 144 Posted January 21, 2014 Shall-what are you eating, drinking and how much exercise? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shall258 12 Posted January 21, 2014 No exercise yet just do to schedule. For Breakfast usually an egg, sometimes oatmeal less than 1/2 cup and sometimes nothing lunch chicken salad or thin deli turkey ( the lil rounds one that about the sz of pepperoni) and cheddar cheese thin thin slice dinner almost every night green Beans, baked chicken and one night I had fish In between meals when I'm Hungry I try and get a Protein shake....but I have trouble getting these down and try and drink Water I really try for 64 oz of liquid to get down, but it is just not happening. I drink unsweetened tea or water usually get down abt 32 oz a day and maybe 1/2 of apple juice but I really have not had one of those since liquid stage. I have had a low fat cheese square for snack a couple of times maybe 3 times total... And I feel hungry all the time, I'm satisfied but within 2-3 hrs I'm hungry again...and I'm also afraid I'm over eating. Sometimes it's just a few bites and others I can eat almost the whole plate. I measure out everything Just confused Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mama Spike 144 Posted January 21, 2014 If it were me, I would up my liquids to 64. Only Decaf tea and add walking. I don't go to the gym but I have a fitbit and work to get 10,000 steps a day. 1 shall258 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barefeet 73 Posted January 25, 2014 Hello guys! Wow what a week, so glad we have a pretty weekend before the cold sets back in again Kudos to those of You working out!! I am getting 10k steps in 3 days a week and the other days I work to get 5-6 k. Not great but I have stuck to it for 3 weeks, and that is better than any other time I have lost weight My lowest weight that I remember in the last 10 ish years was 239.... I have been at 240 for a week. Went down to 239.8 two days ago, but right back up yesterday... So Jo scale this morning... And lots of movement today! I am getting almost 80g of Protein, 100oz of Water and 1000 colonies a day... Felling really good about that, but I am relying on 2 shakes a day... This week I am going to try and cut out a shake... Replace it with food. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
