Hi Holley! Welcome to the group! You and I have a lot in common. I am also 25

and have 2 kids. At one time in my life I weighed about 245-250 and got down

to about 155 with Tae-Bo. Over the past year, my eating has been a mess and I

had quit working out (for a variety of excuses), so I have gained quite a bit

of weight. I am getting myself back on track though and am making Tae-Bo and

exercise a permanent part of my life again! Hang in there and know that you

can do it! There are people here that are in the same place you are and are

here to support you every step of the way!

Hi Holley

I'm Jenn. I'm 26 & I'm a stay at home mom. I have a

7yr old & a 7 month old & about 60lbs I want to lose :/ I haven't been doing

tae bo for too long this time around, so no results yet other than just

feeling better & being hopeful. Last time I did it a few years ago, I never

really kept track of weight loss (I wasn't real heavy to begin with then) but

I definitely noticed a huge difference in me.

Welcome

Holley,

Welcome to the group! This is a great group of people and you will

find plenty of support and motivation here

does not endorse or promote the TaeBo Select products. I am a

TaeBo Instructor and I was told personally by people in his office

that he did not promote these products. These products are

distributed by a Company called Malibu Naturals. This Company is run

by the same people who distribute the TaeBo tapes. has been in

a legal battle with them to get the TaeBo name back. I'm not sure of

all the specifics, but basically they own the TaeBo name and

has been engaged in legal battles with them to get the name back.

So, please don't believe everything that you hear about anything

associated with MN...they are a shady, shady company and they will do

anything they can to make a buck..including using 's name in

association with weight loss supplements.

Don't get me wrong, there are many good supplements out there. But,

please do your research before taking anything And TaeBo is

definitely a step in the right direction to a healthier you

Good Luck

[Guest guest]

Hi Holley, I'm a relatively new member to this group though I did start doing

TaeBo Nov 7th. I enjoy my workouts and have about another 45lbs to lose (have

already lost 36, not doing TaeBo).

I can say that TaeBo is working. I lost .2lbs in a period of 30 days but 1

whole clothing size...so my body is currently busy building muscle to allow me

to workout with and soon it should go back to fat burning mode

Well...after it gets rid of all the junk I ate the last few days!

Take care and welcome

Hello everyone, new member my name is Holley. I tried taebo a few

years ago but had little success. I loved the way it made me feel

though. I since then have had another child and am ready to get rid

of this excess weight. I bought a couple new videos one including

taebo focus abes and glutes. Anybody have any comments on this video

I haven't watched it yet. I would also like to know what everyone

thinks about these new supplements Taebo select. Does billy really

promote these? Has anyone tried them? I'm looking to lose 50+ lbs. I

need alot of support and words of encouragement. There is alot of

messages on this board and it would take forever to look back and

read them all so those who don't mind could you post a short story

of yourself and some success stories to get me motivated? A little

about myself. I am 25 married with 3 kids, the newest one born march

of this year. before her I was 165lbs since I've had her I am now

190-195 my all time high and it is very depressing. I graduated in

May from nursing school. I work 12 hour shifts 5p-530am so my

motivation alot is due to lack of sleep. I look forward to meeting

alot of great people and losing alot of weight. Thanks in advance

and good luck to everyone.

Hi Mirka, and welcome. Non of like the reason for being part of this group, but

we love

the sharing and support from so many wonderful people who understand what you

are

going through. Send us any concerns, anecdotes, questions, anything you want to

share

and hopefully someone will be able to relate. What is important while your dad

still is

functioning cognitively at a level where legalities can be dealt with, is to get

his will,

wishes for care, including end of life support, power of attorney, financial

business set up

so you or whomever his caregiver is can deal with what needs attention as his

dementia

progresses. My mother had everything we could think of in place and it made my

slipping

in and assuming more and more of her business matters, then medical decisions,

so much

easier.

Hi Mirka -- welcome to the group. I'm sorry you have to be here, but

at the same time glad that you found us. Please let us know what

Mirka

Welcome to the group. This is the place to be when a LO is diagnosed with

LBD. You will get any question answered here. This is also the place to cry,

vent, and laugh. No question is foolish.

There is a lot of info that you can get from the links. Read all you can

because you will need to know what is going on with your Father. Not all LO's go

through this terrible illness the same but you will see some simularities.

My suggestions are that you keep a diary on your Dad showing any different

behaviors he may have. Meds are a big thing with LBD. Go slow and small doses.

There is a link that tell you about the NO No Meds. Make sure his Doctor has

that list.

Good Luck and Cyberhugs to you and your family,

Jacqui in So Florida

[Guest guest]

Hi Lynn, You are in a good place to get answers. A big warm Welcome! I am

glad you are here. The more input we all have the more we learn.

I feel bad for you, and your Mom. Yes, no matter how you cut it, it hurts,

but we turn to each other

and talk about it, just like you did. We have a fine group that lovingly and

willingly help any way we can. Some have already been through it, and they

guide us a great deal. I appreciate their efforts to make our lives a little

less stressful with their input.

Hang in there. I know the helpless feeling, and with your being a nurse I

can imagine how hard it must hit. It was like me when daddy died of a massive

heart attack. I frantically tried to save him with mouth to mouth. The whole

route of CPR. The helpless feeling, and questioning if I did everything right,

was horrible. I know I did, but try to tell me that at the time. I loved my

father very dearly. I had gone commercial fishing with him for almost six

years. To loose him was traumatic.

I know other's pain. And, let me tell you I feel it too. But, with our love

and helpfulness we all get by.

Love, and welcome a whole big bunch,

Hi, I'm a new member to this group. Let me tell you a little about my

situation. My Mom was diagnosed w/ Parkinson's in 2000. I know she had

it for about 2 yrs prior but was unable to get through to the MD. In

2000, I sought a new MD, whom is a Geriatric MD. She immediatly put Mom

in the hospital and diagnosed PD in 2 stage. Started trating her and

was sent to a Neurologist. She has been very well cared for by both MD's

Two and one half years ago Mom started " failing " mentally and

physically. She's been taken care of w/ 24hr homecare givers in her

home ever since. We were lucky that they had save a lot of money.

Since Nov. 2005 has been treated for LD. We have tried several meds

that have helped but seem to " wear off " .She's now on Seroquel. and I

also have to give her Geodon injections about once a wk to " break " the

frightening hallucinations. I'm also a nurse.

I'm having a lot of trouble dealing w/ this and there is no support

group to talk to in my area (rural IL. I find it sooo hard to see her

this way and have found no answers. As a nurse, I feel at times I

should be able to " fix " it. Even though I know that I can't.

Mom opnly live about 1 mile from me. I talk to everyday and see her

about 3x's a wk. (I have a hard time going to see her in this condition.

I'm at aloss on how to comfort her !!!! Does anyone have advise????

I have a printout of my husband.

The date I made an update on his information

His weight and height, and age.

All his doctors and phone numbers

All his medications, and what he is allergic to.

And any other information a doctor may need

At the bottom I have in large print

If an LBD patient is given antipsychotic medicines He will

go into a downhill spiral that can't be reversed.

Then I say in very large letter

" Do not give (husband's name) antipsychotic medications "

This works well when he goes to the hospital and the staff is

ignorant about LBD. They think it is just like any other dementia.

Welcome Lynn,

I'm so sorry you have had to search out this group but happy that

you found us. I find it hard to see my Dad failing too and even

though I'm not a nurse I too feel like I should be able to fix

things. I think that no matter what ones occupation is that there

is that sense of I or someone should be able to fix it. My personal

opinion is we have come so far in many ways medically that we get

frustrated and even angry when something can't be fixed.

My way of comforting my Dad may not work for everyone but when he

starts with the " oh woe is me " party I remind him that things could

be a lot worse. He will ask me how and I will give him some

generalizations. Especially because he is such a news person I will

pull from the current headlines or people we know with some painful

condition. I don't know if you are a religious person or not but we

are so I remind him that whatever we are facing God is in control

and we just have to trust Him to know what is best.

I hope somehow this has helped in some way. Always feel free to

come her and ask for help or vent. There are a lot of people on

this board that have been there or are there with helpful advice.

Hugs coming your way,

Leah

, bless your heart. I hear you loud and clear. I am sorry for the

stress and pain you are enduring, but, I want you to know you have found the

right place.

I send you a big warm welcome, and know you will be right at home. I sure am.

Please tell us about your struggle with your husband's long term diagnosis,

and how he is doing now.

My husband will be seventy-three in May. So far he has been a sweetheart,

and very cooperative.

Well, there was a time he wasn't, but that was before diagnosis, and Zoloft.

He became agitated easily when trying to do things around the house, whether

I had ask him to do it, or he wanted to do it on his own. I couldn't stay

around him. Now, I know that he was trying with all he had and still couldn't

do things. It was exhausting and frustrating to him. Poor Darling. When he

realized he couldn't do projects any longer, he relaxed, and we get someone

else.

We are glad that you are here, , and are looking forward to your mail.

Love a bunch,

I am so glad you found this site. When my sister and I did, I felt

like a ton of bricks was lifted off my shoulders. All the oddities,

and extreme fluctuations in behavior, the runny nose, everything-- was

experienced by someone else here and they all had great hints and

advice . You will find a endless well of information-- I know I have

carried the list of good and bad meds in my pocketbook for 4 years now

and now my mom (not LEWY) is going in for her 3rd operation (due to

osteo arthritis -- bones keep breaking ) and the article on anesthetia

and the elderly is coming with us!!

How awful Donna to know something is bad and to have them give it to your father

anyway. I must remember Haldol, but perhaps here in Italy it has another name.

I will walk on eggshells. Irene

[Guest guest]

I know you wrote to Donna, but I would like to throw my two cents in also.

How common a runny nose is, I do not know, but I have seen enough letters on

here to know many have it.

And, My own darling husband has used many, many, boxes of Kleenex. If he

didn't hold two under his nose all the time, he would drip all over the place.

He would use two at a time, and yet only for a minute, or only once. They

would become soaked. That is how bad it has been. Right now it seems to have

abated awhile, but it could very well come back.

I hope this helps some.

have kept a copy of it.

You have reached out again to help others, when you could cry out, " I need

help. " Thank you very much for your loving attitude, positive words, and very

helpful hints.

You have done all this on the day of your father's funeral. What a

sweetheart you are! You have applied some very nice ways to handle a very

difficult

job, and I know your father felt loved, and safe.

May many blessing go your way dear lady. You are a gem, and I beg of you to

Hi,

I'm so sorry your mom has this disease. I remember joining this group

with words like " A week ago I never even HEARD of LBD and now, here I

am... " Now that I have just recently reached the end of this journey

(today was Dad's funeral), I can tell you where I have no regrets.

When your mom has clarity, talk to her openly, let her know that you

will make sure everything is ok, that she is safe and she is loved.

When your mom says things that are weird or non-sensical, go along

with it. It feels weird to do at first, but but once you accept that

this is part of the disease, it helps your loved one to not feel that

there is so much " wrong " with them (or you!). For example if my Dad

would say " shhh, the people can hear us " I wouldnt say " what people? "

(to him the people were very real) ..so simply saying " ok, I will

speak more quietly " works fine. If my Dad looked at me and thought I

was his mother, not his daughter, I would just go along with it.

Somedays I am sure my Dad woke back up in a world where he was 4, why

mess with that? I mean, just imagine living in a world where nothing

makes sense all the time. We, the caregivers, have the opportunity to

ease the fear and uncertainty. I dont mean lie 24/7, but take every

moment as it comes and do what you can, because although this is hard

on us and you want to remind and correct ....it is not worth the

anguish you put yourself and your loved one through. Its a long

Donna,

What is the " runny nose " you refer to here, is it common? My dad has just

started doing that!

I am so glad you found this site. When my sister and I did, I felt

like a ton of bricks was lifted off my shoulders. All the oddities,

and extreme fluctuations in behavior, the runny nose, everything-- was

experienced by someone else here and they all had great hints and

advice . You will find a endless well of information-- I know I have

carried the list of good and bad meds in my pocketbook for 4 years now

and now my mom (not LEWY) is going in for her 3rd operation (due to

osteo arthritis -- bones keep breaking ) and the article on anesthetia

and the elderly is coming with us!!

POST QUESTIONS, VENT, JOIN IN -- somehow finding people who share your

burden makes it more bearable...
