Hey, Lynne, you know Linda who wrote the first comment on your blog here she wrote her own blog talking about how she doesn't get us who go on diets. She thinks we eat dead foods when we go on these diets. Can you imagine us eating anything but li...

Linda W commented on Lynne's blog post 'Wednesday, November 18, 2009'

You're right, Lynne, that 27 pounds in the grand scheme of things is not bad, but it's still a big bummer and I know you get that too. Thanks for the nice words. I am trying this new way of eating called the Rosedale Diet and I guess I could blog ...

About Me:

I'm a wife of 13 years and a mother of two. I am also a part time court reporter now because I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis. I got diagnosed in 2000, but was suffering before that with pain in my scapular area. I remember going to my aerobics coach and asking her to watch me because I thought I was working out wrong. I do love life and live it like it's my last. I love being active and playing sports. I'm a Christian or what I would call a born again believer and have been since 1993. This site has helped me lose 48 pounds doing hcg and stopped my harmful eating patterns, so I'm forever grateful to Kevin Trudeau.

Favorite Music:

Toby Mac, John Mayer

Favorite Books

The bible, of course, Christian books, mysteries

Phase 4, Day 25 (LIW 178.0)

Nov. 17, '08, when I weighed in this morning the scale showed 179.2. I'm going to post everything I did on Sunday, Nov 16 to try to just show what I do in a day. I know that Lynne is interested and maybe some others are too. I certainly don't mean to suggest this is the way to maintain. I would also like to say I do not do this every day. I guess I did extra good yesterday because I knew I was going to post it.

7am woke up and drank 4 oz of FlorEssence Gentle Detox for the whole body. This and… Continue

Phase 4, Day 18 (LIW 178.0)

Oct. 10, '08, weighed in at 180.2 pounds this morning. I went to my shiatsu session this morning. I thought it was going to be more like the chiropractor, I guess. It wasn't like that at all. First of I was placed on a massage bed that was heated face down and for half an hour she pushed, grasped, rubbed, pressed and held parts of my whole body starting with the head, then neck, spine, tailbone, arms, fingers and feet and toes. This was done all on top of my clothes. I was told not to wear denim… Continue

Phase 4, Day 15 (LIW 178.0)

Nov. 7, '08, weighed 179.8 this morning. I have decided to weigh myself every two to three days. I didn't think I would like this and it would drive me crazy not knowing, but the only bad part of that is weighing this morning and holding my breath for a big gain.

I saw this ad in my local co-op newspaper about shiatsu and I thought I would call Sally and find out what it is and if it would help my RA. I wrote her an email and described my symptoms and the trouble I've been having with the botto… Continue

Phase 4, Day 12 (LIW 178.0)

Nov. 4, '08, weighed in at 180.4 so 2.4 pounds over LIW. You all better double check my math because I did it in my head again. I'm seriously thinking of doing some serious weight training with a trainer if I can afford it. I want to change my body shape and with aerobics it just makes me a smaller pear shape which is nice but I would like to know what it's like not to be a pear and I feel the only way is with weights. I may be wrong, but I'm going to experiment and see if I could change my shap… Continue

Phase 4, Day11 (LIW 178.0)

Nov. 3, '08, weigh 181.8 so I'm 1.8 over my LIW. Had too much food on Saturday morning, the day after Halloween. I had two bite size candy cars and two Halloween cupcakes from a church carnival. They were home-made, I'm positive, because the frosting tasted like butter. I couldn't taste that chemical fake frosting taste. The cupcakes were way better than the candy cars. I just wish I could have slowed down to enjoy them even more. I ate both cupcakes back to back really fast, probably within one… Continue

Don't move your feet
Dance for yourself, not for me.
Close your eyes.
Smile.
Look at me.
I know that I am ugly, but look at me. Look into my eyes.
Look at me.
Look at your hands and put them in the air, follow them.
Dance from the inside.
You've got it--use it.
Don't dance for me, dance for yourself.
Dance from the inside.

LOL btw, I sent you all about that guy, several paragraphs, but the computer didn't accept it, so I'll send you several private messages in fear that my note to you will be gobbled up! Going to have mani/pedi now; then to see therapist, and lastly oil painting class. All of these are an hour away from eachother. ttys

At 2:49am on November 21, 2009, Lynne said…: Linda--so you gained about half back. You are still 30 pounds less than you were a couple years ago, and like I said in my blog, in no way do I mean to minimize your feelings. I would be upset and frustrated too. I hear you about not wanting to count points or calories. It stinks. I feel that you will find something that works for you because you sound like you really want to. It is certainly difficult to find something that works. I remember when I was gaining, and I was up, I was so scared and frustrated b/c KT said that we would not gain the weight back unless we started eating the way that we always ate, which I was not doing, but I feel fortunate to have found something that works for me. And, yes, I count points every day. I don't like it, but I know that this is what I must do to maintain. It works for me. Yukky but works. An example is today, I starved all day, so I could go to dinner and have a couple of drinks. But, I really enjoyed dinner. I went dancing too, my girlfriend didn't want to go. She went home after dinner, and I went to a club alone! LOL That was the first time that I have done that. I met a really interesting and profound guy. I couldn't believe what he was saying to me. I'll tell you, but now I'm going to bed. :) It's 2:49am. LOL Nite Nite.

At 12:40pm on November 20, 2009, Lynne said…: Hello, Sweetheart! It is so nice to hear from you. I left you a message on my blog too! I would love to hear all about you and what you have been up to if you are willing to share. I'm off right now for a hair cut, so I'll talk with you later! :)

At 1:22pm on September 8, 2009, Lynne said…: Oh, Linda--I understand, and I'm sorry. I was only thinking about myself. I'm really sorry. You are grieving as well. Peace to you, Linda. And, thank you for everything. Knowing that you responded to me with kindness is really healing. Thank you.

At 8:37am on September 6, 2009, Lynne said…: Oh, Linda--thank you so much for getting back to me and saying such nice things. I have read and reread your note to me many times before writing this. I actually tried to take a picture of what you wrote so I could have it and read it, but it didn't work. I have been crying on and off very hard. Yesterday, I washed the blankets that were in her little beds and crates. She had one crate with about 3 twin blankets, one bed with two queen blankets, the so soft ones :); then she had three carriers one was lepord print, lol, never used it, a pet stroller with the one wheel in front for four-wheeling, lol, and a front-pack like a back-pack. My husband used to love to carry her in the front-pack. :) I packed all of these things for donation; except the stroller. I'm not ready to give that up yet. I packaged her little hair brush, small balls, unused diapers, a senior pet book, harness, and leash. This things along with crates and carriers I will dontate.

I created a keepsake box for her with her fall/winter sweater. It was so pretty on her. It was cream with a fake mink collar. :) She looked so pretty in it. Oh, Linda. I'm crying just thinking about this. Also in the keepsake box, is her little, pink collar with her tag in the shape of a hear that she wore. And, her favorite toy, a tiny Kong Ball. We used to sing, "Zippity Do Da" to her and she would run and find that little toy for us to play with her. So, I've been doing these things. I still have to go through her medication. So many things. She was such a big part of our lives. I just feel so empty, Linda. I do have hope though, that I will feel better. I read your comments about crying for one week, hard, and then starting to feel better, but still crying sometimes. Thank you, Linda. I cannot even tell you how much it means to me that you are here. Bless you.

At 7:59am on September 3, 2009, Lynne said…: Hello, Linda--how are you doing? Remember our little dog, Chiffon? She is on my profile page, I think. Anyway, yesterday, she left her body. Yesterday, her breathing was labored, her chest and abdomin where rising and falling with greatness, she couldn't walk but a few steps before lying down, and her heart sounded so congested, gurggly. Linda, I did not want to euthanize her. I went to yoga; then turned around to go home. I'm glad that I came home b/c when I got there, she deteriorated fast. I had made a 7:45 pm appointment from the yoga parking lot for her just in case, but when I got home she deteriorated before my eyes. It happened so quickly. I picked her up her small pink blanket and was carrying her to the car when her body went limp and her head fell to the side. John got Callie into the car and we left for the vet. She was out of it when we got there. Callie kept putting her paws on the table to see what was going on. The vet coulndn't find a vein. It seem like it was taking forever to help her. The medicine squirted in my face and in my mouth. No one flinched including me. It was about our little dog. The vet told Chiffon to go the the light. John broke down and was crying. I was crying the whole time. Linda, I want her back. The house is empty and so am I.
