Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 No, there isn't any right now but as soon as we find a house and move (we close on our house here in S.D. in June) there will be although I know money is going to be tight at first so it will be awhile before I get there. That is why I was thinking of just getting the books to at least have a start. They offer the at-home service for $100. le " susan ferron " <srferro-@...> wrote: original article:tae-bo_on/?start=16087 > le, > > Are there WW meetings in your area?

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 le, Weight Watchers really won't tell you how to " revamp " what you are eating, but in time, you will end up doing that yourself. The nice thing about the program is that you can eat whatever you want to as long as you stay with in your daily points range. But here's how it works for me.... I am very embarrassed to say that I used to eat an entire box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (one of my culinary specialties, I might add) in one sitting. Well, last time I checked, one box is 27 points, which would basically almost use up all my points for the day. So...I could choose to eat it and not eat much else all day...or, I could choose to eat other things that are more filling for the same total of points. Foods that are lower in points are often higher in fiber and lower in fat and calories, so over time, to get more food and feel full, you make better choices. Does that make sense? I really like the program a lot, and if I didn't make the silly decision to remodel my folks' bathroom and also just get a truckload of medical bills, I would buy the starter kit for you. I highly recommend it. Susi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 Whoops...I just wanted to add one more thing. There is somebody on the board who had plateaued for quite awhile with weight loss and started Weight Watchers and is actually eating more than she was and having fabulous results. If I'm not mistaken, it's Shakemybonbon. Susi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the warm welcome. I too missed the meeting. I had it on my mind all day but was still getting dinner ready when the meeting started and forgot about it until an hour after the meeting was over. I really wanted to participate in that meeting too. I am 56 until July, at least. Will be starting tx probably in July. That is the next appointment with my dr. anyway. I'm waiting to hear what my genotype is. Hopefully it won't be too long before they get back to me with that as blood was taken for that test last Friday. Everyone in this site has been so good to me and I am glad I found You all. Reading the stories of some of the members has reminded me about some things I need to have ready when treatment starts. I am starting on St 's Wort and Milk Thistle right away as well as vitamins B, C and E. I need to get offline as we are having a bad thunder storm tonight. We'll talk more later.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Well I was hoping I could wait it out til I see him May 9th. What is erythema nodosum??? Leg isn't real bad right now lot of swelling has gone down keep it elevated, I know I should call but don't want to be on heparin or coumadin, I know I am being hard headed and stupid but unless things get worse I will mention it 9th. What is a DVT test? Deep Vein Thrombosis?? Is that the test where they insert needle in top of ankle and let loose liquid fire in all the veins?? Thats what it felt like to me both times they did it in the leg, the test for the lung didn't hurt but kinda made you hot and abit breathless. hugs...ww Motley <dmotley@...> wrote: I had erythema nodosum on tx & had to do for a DVT test to rule that out.
