Anyone wanna work out with me???

[Heidi]

I would love to join - exactly how are we doing this anyways? I gained 10 lbs. since last summer.

Age: 36 (37 in Dec.)
Height: 5' 7''
Weight: 155

When I get munchie I've been going and visiting my chickens - kind of helps. Oh - have you tried the Fiber One Bars - comes in chocolate or peanut butter. They are very reasonable calorie wise and fix a craving quick. Unfortunately, there's a gassy side effect.

Chelly, you might just have a thyroid problem with the neck swelling, ect i sent you a email.
sc-Basically you need more going out versus going in which is why exercise is important. Here is a website that tells you how many calories you need to maintain that weight. Remember it takes 3500 calories to lose one lb.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa SNAKE

Chelly you don't look like you have that much to get rid of. Of course I had to go back and look because the snake freaked me out.......(willies)....
If I can figure out how to post a pic I'll post the one my DH took yesterday. It doesn't show how much I really need to lose though.

For how we are doing this: I would love to get someone to hold me accountable for my food intake and exersize routines.........I think the idea of cool gifts from each other when someone hits their goal is great.

Some one tell me how to post pics....I can't copy and paste..ggrr

I wanna join too. I've started "working out" at my local YMCA and I need to loose 60-70 lbs. I have chronic IT band syndrome, a knee thing, so my current workout is very slow and low intensity. I think if I could loose just 10 pounds my knee would feel better. So...

weight: more pounds than I want to say...okay...over 200, under 250

Ladies, this came at the perfect time. I started the diet today.

Lets see.. to poast a pic I think the easiest way is to make a photo bucket account and then cut and paste the IMG code. I think thats how it goes. I read somewhere on here how to do it but I can't find it now.

I didn't get an email yet. I don't think its thyroid, the lump is under my jawbone right under my ear kinda - I dont' think the thyroid is right there - I think its lower down and in the center.
I think the lump is round about near the salivary gland! Its not infected, I'd know if it was, I don't have fevers or anything like that - well the only other effect I've noticed is a NASTY taste in my mouth some nights - so bad I have to get up and brush my teeth again!

I have low thyroid and the gland is located under your lower jaw. Every year I get blood work done and the doctor feels my neck and has me swallow a few times. Some reason swallowing is more difficult for people with low thyroid.

 

[Chelly]

Mine is up on the corner of the lower jaw bone, thats where the lump is below the jaw, but directly under my ear.

My husband has stones in his salivatary(sp) gland.But it is more along,under his jaw line. The taste your describing sure sounds like the same thing though.His always swelled up more when he ate or drank something tangy or hot. I don't believe that that would have any effect on your weight.
Me and DH went on a fat gram diet. Go to the hospital and you can get a heart healthy cook book. They give them away free. We cut our fat grams to 36 grams a day and cheated on Saturdays with a family feed. I didn't loose as fast as DH,but it was around 10 pounds in a month and a half. But it helps teach you to eat right.

Chelly - I would check that out with a Dr. Not having Ins is no real good excuse, if it is a bad thing it would be worse for you in the long run. Get that checked out now. I don't mean to scare you, but nip that sucker in the bud.

Local hospitals usually have a policy that if you can't afford health care in an emergency sense, then you can apply for hardship and they usually take care of your situation and you are allowed care for up to a year without expense on your part. Check it out. Anyway take care, it could be a glandular problem because of allergies.

On a lighter note, maybe you ate a large grape and it got caught in your crop?
