I am typically one of those folks who clear the turkey off the table and then head home to put up the Christmas tree. I love Christmas! This year though we were so sick...the whole family, so we rested. I also had to go to slc that Friday...I am sad to admit that we finally got the tree up last night and with any luck the lights will be on the house when I get home.

What does your little guy think of the decorations??

I am doing much better! One seroma is gone and the other two are clearing up. The family had a horrible cold over Thanksgiving but thankfully we are all over it. I am also on day 6 back to work, however, it has not been consecutive. We made two trips to the surgeon last week and one this week. God willing we are done until January! Oh!!!!! I get to run this weekend...limited to one mile but I get to run!!!!!!

I am glad that you are not letting the scale rule your mood. You are so much more than that number!! It has taken me a very long time to figure that out. Those whole really love me, love me no matter what the number is nor what my food choices are.

I was 140.2. I still have some crazy swelling though! They removed over 7 lbs of skin...added a few in breasts but I haven't seen that loss yet...

gluten free can be challenging! I agree! Let me know if you would like any help there via recipes and or encouragement! I have not heard of the moducare is it a natural supplement? As you know I do health coaching and I also see a naturopath Dr. for my own medical needs, she has put me on a few different supplements and one that has made a huge difference for me was magnesium, I was deffinatley deficient there and I didn't even know it! Also I was having issues with my thyroid (cysts and nodules) and found out that was from an iodine deficiency so I have started to supplement with that. I made some gluten free cookies for the family yesterday and want to keep experimenting with more! Let me know if you want any recipes!

Hi Chell, I have tried to go wheat/gluten free many times, and I does help but I find it incredibly hard to stick with. I am prepping myself to try again after my Bday which is Jan 5. There is no point trying now because of up coming holidays. My personal goal is to just maintain through these next 3+ weeks. I managed to get through last Christmas without gain. Hoping to do the same this season. Sugar and Gluten really increase the pain. I recently started taking a supplement called Moducare that I feel has really helped with my overall health. More energy + sleeping so much better. Deb

Doing well over here, busy with the holiday prep, trying out new gluten free recipes, getting school work done and meeting with clients for my health coaching business.... Went on a lovely walk this morning and am really enjoying the weather right now, in the low 70's crisp clear blue skies!  I have not weighed myself for a while, I don't know when I will again..... I can tell from how I feel that I have not lost anymore weight though! 

Curious Deb about your fibro, have you ever considered going gluten free? I have a friend who has fibro and she has gotten off all gluten and it has really helped her. Just a thought

Hi all, how have you all been? This board has been way too quiet for over a week now. Hope everyone is doing OK.

Today's weight. 250.4 lbs
It has increased since staring new medication regime. But I am feeling so much better so I am not letting the #s get to me! I have been more active been sleeping better and my fibromyalgia pain is more controlled. So life can actually be good even with a couple pounds increased. Now I would love to see it go down again, but not letting it control my moods.

Topic: Just checking in!
Hi all it's been a bit since I posted last. Life is OK with it's normal ups and downs. The past couple of weeks with the nice mild weather I managed to get in atleast one 30 min walk a day sometimes 2. But now with the 15+cm of snow that has arrived I am finding it a bit tougher. I was also getting discourage because I was working hard with my food choices and the darn scale was moving in the wrong direction again. Yet my clothes are loser. I don't get the scale thing at all. Somedays I just want to pitch it out the window. Basically the snow has put me unto hibernation mode. Hoping to get out of it soon. I also feel the stress of the holidays building up. I managed to get through last Christmas without weight gain hoping I will get through this one too. Arrgh I hate the scale. That is why I haven't bothered with the hump day weigh in cause it just been depressing me. That's my rant for this week. Hope your all keeping well! Keep us posted!

Productive.  Got the Christmas lights up on the outside of the new house.  Got the Christmas Tree up.  Then this weekend we decorated it, put up the nativity, village, stockings, and decorations.  Ready for this holiday stuff to happen.  You?
