Hi Kerri,

I too am just starting WW (tomorrow) and have been down lately too. I
weigh more now then I ever have in my life, and my 7 year old daughter
died July 11th. I have to start somewhere though, and know this group
will help. I don't have the money to go to meetings, but I got more
support from groups like this when I did it a few years ago. I look
forward to making this journey with you and the others here!! We are
in this together!! And I will be at it for a while, because I have a
LOT of weight to lose!!

Happy thoughts and well wishes being sent your way,

~Kathy

7a. Intro/weekly weigh in

Hi everyone,

I have been lurking for about a week and thought it was time to jump in/make myself more accontable.

I am a teacher currently trying to take off weight. I have been losing/gaining the same 5 pounds for about 3 years, even though I have much more to lose. The straw that broke the camels back is when I gained 6 pounds after I started taking cholesterol meds and can't get the scale to budge no matter what. So here I am reading and posting with you hoping for success.

Starting weight: 171.0
Goal weight: 150.0
Current weight: 170.6
As this is my first week, I was a bit disappointed, but I am reading all of your posts trying to stay positive and remind myself that I did not get here in a week, so I won't lose it in a week either.

Thanks for being such an uplifting group.

Welcome, trw (you didn't put what your name was). This group is very
uplifting and supportive. I've enjoyed my time here.

Just keep on point and you will see the weight come off. And maybe the
cholestoral, too. Mine was a little high when I went for my yearly
physical, but when my doctor heard I was on WW he didn't even talk to
me about going on the medicine! He said this eating plan would take
care of it!

Hi there trw, I am Melissa, and I, too am a teacher, although I'm a sub
at the moment until I can find a permanent job(I just moved to DE in
June and haven't been able to find a job yet :(). I am certified in
Special Education Birth-age 21. What do you teach? Where are you
located?(just curious). I have been on WW since 6/14/07 and have lost
53.4 lbs so far, although I've been juggling the same 7 lbs for almost
a year, so I know where you're coming from! I don't have cholestrol or
BP problems, but it runs in my family, so I'm trying to avoid it at all
costs(along with heart disease, which also runs in the family).
Good luck this week.
Melissa in Dover, DE
222.4(starting)/169(as of last Tues)/115(goal weight)

Ginny -

I guess missing the air races this year is minor in the grand scheme of
things. Get yourself better so you can see them next year. Thoughts and
prayers are with you.

Subject: [Serious-Weight-Watchers] Medical Update

Hi Gang,
Well I saw both the radiologist and the oncologist this week. The Mets(
that is what they call the crap on the brain) has gone down. The radiation
will continue to work for the next few months so they will do another MRI
in the beginning of October.

I will start chemo some time next week. They want to see about putting a
port in first. I will have chemo one week and be off 3 weeks. They will
do this for 2 months and then do a ct on the chest to see how it is working.

Looks like I will not know much more till October then whey test me again.

For now I am tired---I poop out pretty early. Take naps not at all like
me. Guess I may have over done on the cruise. So in the mean time it is
just rest. They do want me to walk if I can in the mornings to help get the
circulation back into my calves and feet.

My feet are back to normal but the bod and face are still puffy. The
timing for the chemo looks like it will interfere with the air races--- :( I

might have to miss this year.

Hope all of you are well.
Huggs and love--

I know you may have been hurt, but the fact is it IS water weight. But
it is
IMPORTANT water weight.
When you are living an unhealthy life; overeating, sedentary,
overweight,
you end up going into this inflammation "mode" where your body
responds to
all of the abuses you're heaping on it (and by "you" I mean all of us
who
have done this, which is pretty much all of us, not YOU specifically)
with
acute inflammation. This eventually (along with all of the other
metabolic
things going on related to it) damages your cells causing those
"lifestyle
related illnesses" we all hear so much about; Type II diabetes, heart
disease, etc. It's a lot more complicated than that, but suffice to
say
acute inflammation in the body=Very Bad Thing long term because your
body is
continually fighting to fix itself while you continue to damage it.

So when you lose a great deal of weight the first week or two of a
diet what
you're seeing is some fat, but you're also seeing "water weight". In
truth
it's your body saying "Oh thank you SO much for the relief! I can stop
fighting now!" and the inflammation decreases dramatically. So while
it's
frustrating to hear "water weight" it is GOOD water weight! You WANT
to do
that! It means your body is going into a repair mode and out of the
fighting
mode. It's not just "I ate too much salt on my popcorn" water weight.

Thanks for this information, and all the other help from everyone.

Regarding the shoes, I wasn't looking for one to wear while walking or
going to the gym. I can't wear street sole shoes on the ballet floor
where I take belly dance lessons, that is why we always do it
barefooted or with socks. I was asking if anyone knew about some type
of shoe with the slick type sole like a ballet shoe, only with
something that would cushion the heel.

What are ballet slippers like? Do they have any type of support or
cushion in the heel?

I so badly want to get back to my belly dance lessons, but don't want
to injure the foot again.

Claudia
