Guest guest Posted November 7, 2001 Report Share Posted November 7, 2001 Yep - still with WW. I am currently in an almost 2 month long plateau which is driving me crazy. I believe it is partially tied to my lack of exercise (2 months ago is when I stopped going to Curves because of scheduling of soccer practice, etc.). Soccer is over as of this week and I can hopefully get back to my old routine and the weight will start coming off again. I am in the process of getting approval for a breast reduction/lift and a brachioplasty - will wait on the tummy, thighs and butt until I get this other 30 or so pounds off! The cranberry salad is yummy - a little tart and crunchy! in GA , Thanks Thanks for the great idea. I will try it tomorrow. How are you doing?? Are you still doing WW?? I find that if I just eat a high/higher proteien diet that the weight does slowly continue to drop off for some reason I am no longer in love with Bread and the carbs, like I used to be.. I actually find that I am NO LONGER LIVING TO EAT.. it only took about 10 months.. but habits can be broken.. Thanks again Suzanne in Fl.

We NEED to be compassionate! I know there are days when I feel like blowing up - ALL of us share this disease, and yes, I DO think the HCV affects our thinking, and makes us (me!) more irritable. I know there are days when every little thing seems to make me mad! (In fact, before I broke down and got on antidepressants it was EVERYDAY - and I was not like that years ago before I contracted HCV!) I do TRY not to take it out on my unseen friends here on the internet - but I've let off a little steam now and then too. Since we, more than any of those non-HCVer's around us, know what this disease is like we should be capable of understanding an occasional blow-up. I do think it is much safer to avoid the topics of religion and politics, lol! Those are pretty hot topics that can evoke strong emotions in just about ANYONE, and I think we are here because we want/need HCV info and support. We're all different, with different philosophies and beliefs, and as long as we can respect the rights of everyone to have their own beliefs there is no reason we can't ALL get along! Just think how boring it would be if we all were exactly the same, thought the same, agreed on exactly the same things..... And we'd never hear about any new ideas either! I think our differences can make us stronger. Claudine __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Mark, I'm happy to help. Tort can be frustrating. Our PT stresses that what we do at home is very, very important. na has been in PT for 1 week now and we are already seeing improvement. We stepped up our own efforts at home and the good PT sessions are helping. We will probably go down to once a week. Good luck and keep stretching!! mom to na DOC Grad 2/20/04 South Carolina > > > Hi, > > > > > > I posted this question a few days ago on the tort board but > > thought I would try here > > > as well.
