I agree with that Debbie, but probably 5'8 " and 125 is not realistic for your

time in life. Start by just trying not to gain any more. You say you are

active and healthy, so that is important. I find that sometimes obsessing

about my weight causes me to binge. It is always on my mind and therefore,

so is food. It can be a vicious circle.

Hang in there,

Well Sharon....was your doctor a male? Mine was, and told me the same

thing........but I don't believe it.!!!! We are meant to be gorgeous sensual

beings, lol, and having extra padding doesn't fit that bill. I think the

doctors say that cause they don't have the answer and rather than admit it

(hmmmmmmm a male trait too aye?) they give us some off the wall explanation,

expecting us to accept. Well I will defy their little conclusion. We will

find what the heck does this to us and eventually we will win this damn

battle aye? I just know we will.

I know Sharon....you are right about us obsessing on being too thin, but to

be 5'8 " and 125 pounds for so long and to see how my mother spread....I just

know that is what is happening to me, and I DO NOT WANT TO BE OBESE. A few

extra pounds is one thing, but a fat body is just that....fat. Not healthy.

I would love to know what he uses. My chiropractor had a great homeopathic

treatment for CF. It came from Germany and I took it once a week for ten

weeks. I took two courses with about a month in between and it really

helped. She said that it could be taken either orally or injected. I have

no problems with the shots, but in this case we just took it orally. I think

yours may be something similar. Any information would be appreciated.

Hi Debbie and all others on weight issues.

My homeopath again said for those with Thyroid problems the Pituary gland also

need to be checked out - hope that it could help someone out there.

I know my body very well already - even being thin I know when the Pituary is

playing up at the same time as I start retaining fluid, feel tired and emotional

- I then go for a few injections which is all homeopathic and then feel on track

again for a long time.

Here in South Africa you can order the homeopathic injections and do it

yourself - I prefer going to the homeopath as he treats me for the pituary,

thyroid, Candida and the C fatigue as there is a link between it all.

best wishes to all

That does sound like an awful lot. Was there a lot of weight involved? I use a lot

of different companies, depending on what I'm buying. My M & P base is from Soapberry

Lane in Virginia, a lot of my f/o's are from Brambleberry, Wholesale Supplies Plus,

and many others. In fact, I just placed an order at Brambleberry for about$83 worth

of stuff and the s/h was $13.88. But besides a bunch of f/o's I ordered a gallon

of goatsmilk liquid soap base so that weighs quite a bit. And you have to figure the

S/H charges have gone up recently around the country. But your $75 shipping does

sound like a lot. Did you use different companies that totaled the $400 or was it

all from one company? It should be cheaper to buy from one company instead of

spreading it out over many. Just make sure you figure your s/h into the "cost" of

your products.

Where

Where is everyone getting their fo's from and other supplies....I just placed 4 large orders and my shipping totaled over 75.00.........Not to mention the 400.00 that I spent.......This is outrageous!!!!!

Debbie,

How about us meeting on Friday if it's not too late? We could scoot over to Colleens and lend a hand the night before if she meeds us.

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Debbie.

I've never heard of them before. We sit outside by the

pool (until we close it up in a few weeks) lots of times when

we have those beautiful Fall days or evenings. I like to soak

up as much of the good weather before winter as possible.

This idea is on the same wave length as the fireplace bundles

that Katy gave as far as burning them. I can't wait to smell

them burning. I'll bet it's great. We have one of those portable

outside fireplaces that we use during the summer that we could

burn some night now, too. Maybe I'll have my husband build us

a fire this weekend and try it if the weather is good.

Thanks

First of all, thank you for you!!!!! I see you have had your share of

schools too. Today I did go in with loaded guns!!!!! The special services

director even confessed he's never had to do this and does not know where to

go from here. They all agreed that my plan was the best action to take, but

were hesitant on committing to help pay the half-way. I told them about the

IDEA laws, and that he is intitled to an appropriate education, and if it

could not be provided in the school, it needs to be provided at my home, in

addition to the ABA therapist, until he has enough self-control and behavior

intervention plan to transition back into the school room. They still

suggested the SBH school, and was a heated discussion for some time, and

ended with the special ed teacher remarking that " I am not trained in

behavior problems " , and the biggest reason is they don't want to look bad

because they are being audited by the state this year.(humm, something to

keep in the back of one's mind). I am really hoping all of this works and we

can get him back, but without 100% cooperation from all, it will fail. Thanks

for your encouragement and support.....Cheri

I think Zoloft is what almost all the gastro doctors order.....I was on

Celexa and doing well except for the weight gain....then when Lexipro came

on the market in September, they changed me to it.....It is not suppose to

have all the side effects....so far I'm doing well on it and have lost about

9 lbs, don't have the sugar craving anymore......love....judy

Enjoy your little ones, Debby. I've been told by two of my drs that I cannot go back to teaching at this point but I do thinkd about all those little first grade faces and it makes me sad. I go to help when I am able but it's just not the same. So enjoy a little extra, I 'll even take them on the rowdy days, for me!

Don't overdue it - as if that has ever stopped a teacher I know.l...

Debby I can't take Tylenol and they put me on atarax it has really helped a lot. You may want to talk to your doctor about this.

Hi Irma,

My visit to ville to the Down syndrome clinic was a nice one. The

people there are so great. It is pretty much an all day visit. The

educational person sees you, a PT, OT, and Speech, and then a medical

doctor. We came away from the visit feeling pretty good overall. The

three therapist zoned in pretty immediately on Jordan's sensory

integration disorder and gave us loads of info. The educational person

is very knowledgeable in world of IDEA, ESE, etc. Her son has Down

syndrome and is 16 yr now, so she has been in the system for a lot of

years.

We just received the report they put together on Jordan. It is very

thorough. It will be very good material for Jordan's teacher.

I have had a good turn of events regarding my job/child care situation...

the school that Jordan attends revamped their after school program.

Where last year they kept 30 - 40 kids of various ages, this year they

have a class that is for 11 children ages 3 - 5 and 4 adults to keep the

children. Two of these adults know Jordan from the day school. So they

are familiar with his aggression, he running away, etc. So we signed

Jordan up... this means for me that I am now back to working a full day,

rather than leaving the office at 2:00 every day.

On a different subject... someone had mentioned something about their

child blowing out candles and singing... Jordan is now doing the funniest

thing with cake. We don't often have cake at the house, usually only for

birthdays... Well, my dh's b-day was in August. We we were leftover cake

a few days later, when Jordan would not eat his piece until we sang happy

birthday. Then last week I bought a little cake (for nothing more than

the yummy taste), so Jordan looks at me and said " ing " (sing) - so I sang

happy birthday to him, then he took a bite, then he looked at me again

and signed " more " and then said " ing " , so we did this about 5 times

before he ate all his cake. He can be soooo funny.

I'm sorry I do not write more often or chime in more... I do read the

posts. I am amazed at all the info people on the list know and all the

situations that are lived thru.

Thank you very much for asking about Jordan. I read you stuff all the

time... too bad I can't meet you sometime... where do you live?

Hi Debbie,

Seems like things are looking good for you and Jordan. What a relief

knowing that you've finally have some solutions or answers to guide

everbody meaning your family & professionals towards some direction

of HOPE!

Glad things worked out with childcare and your able to focus at your

employment fulltime. I know this cuts down some stress. I'm looking

forward to hearing how or what worked out, ok?

You might think I know this stuff, wrong. Still learning as here in

SA, TX where I'm at, we are still learning the updated information

which is slowly manuvering in as many are seeing that our kids need

this type of intensive interventions. I know its been a journey

having to be some type of a drill sergant towards my son when he

acted out as I did not understand what triggered his behavior. But,

you try anything. I was not going to give up and you got it, time to

take some action.

This is now at his age with the ABA/VB, SI Therapy this was one of

the keys towards some progress. These services are done privately as

the secondary school does not have this on hand. I have not persued

it yet at school, but I have some notes ready to take these steps

once I need these programs applied. He is doing very well right now

and the school are being very cooperative. I know I must document

this immeditely in his file so I better act fast with reference. I'm

getting there, just need it perfect. ; )

Of course it does involve other methods of trials that I've crossed

but its nice knowing that he is doing awesome these days. Thanks for

the update, it was nice hearing from you. I am so happy for you and

Jordan. What glorious news! News like this makes my day.

Thanks for your precious time posting. Take care.

I have gained a hundred pounds since

starting my meds 7 yrs ago and since then my weight has gone up and down a few

times. I found that the more I stressed over it the harder it was to loose it.

It does take time but all of a sudden you will find you have lost weight and

then it will stop again for a while but then it will start going again.\Now

adays I get excited when I loose 1 pound.

I know it is hard but don't give up.

Thanks Kim- started soaping almost 20 yrs. ago and began it

seriously as 'therapy " after a days of PR/phone work here in Bob's

office and it just got away from me to the point where I had to

market product or find a new home:) I take one day at a time and try

to balance as I am a firm believer in " if it is meant to happen it

will. " I don't push too hard-just try to direct things. I used to

post constantly here on the list but work/family just don't leave

enough time sometimes.What I really am trying to do for me more than

anything is getting my certification in herbalism. I really don't

want to ever feel stressed by what started out as a stress reliever:O
