SoWell on Sowal

[DD]

Moved the conversation from "Thanksgiving recipes" to Sowell. I looked like a Holocaust victim at 115. I feel best at 125. That photo of me on the other thread is two years old BTW. If I get down to 125, I might need a neck job.:funn:

okay, I just did the ideal weight calculation. It says I need to lose 20 pounds. But the least is 10. which is correct? I think 20.

just a tidbit of info for sowell wenches only: I'm having ankle surgery, finally, in January. I need to get into shape and be as healthy as I can be going into surgery (please give me motivation now to eat right and continue to exercise). Then I'll be on crutches for 3 months, non-weight bearing, and exercise is gonna be very limited. But, Bridgette is going to come up with some private pilates/yoga stuff to help keep moving after surgery to the extent that I can. Just letting you know this - because I will be on this thread asking for motivation from now on !!! believe me, I'll be happy to get this done and get on with it.

I won't be around but will be thinking good thoughts for your recovery!

crushed in car accident 5 years ago - after emergency reconstructive surgery its just gone downhill and needs to be fused - which is a standard fix for a bad ankle. it should end the arthritis, swelling and pain. and this is a very very good thing!!!

I am really excited. really!

We'll be thinking about you. What a pain in the ankle!

Hi Toots. I'll be around last week of February too and can bring limoncello cream if that would help your recovery...

and we'll have to ask the High Wenchess if we can have pancakes again.

I have a feeling I'll be treating myself to any and all comfort foods for a little while. so I gotta get a grip NOW.. do the comfort food thing in Jan and Feb. then get a grip again.

okay, so I've been into the cheeseburgers - and had turkey and dressing today at Donut Hole. Cravings are me these days. This week is gonna be get it together week for me. Monday here we come...

I was very bad last night because we had dinner at a friend's house and I ate way too much and gained back everything I lost last week. But I took a walk this morning (about 1.5 miles) and ate light today to try to make up some of it. So, I'm back to square one. Oh well...

Beach Runner, stop that immediately! It doesn't help you lose weight to go on a crash diet like that. What happens is that your body thinks it's starving so it slows down its metabolism to accomodate. If you keep up a week of less than 1000 calories a day, your body will start thinking that's normal so you've defeated the purpose of quick weight loss.

It's healthier to eat at least 1000 calories, drink plenty of water, and step up the exercise a bit. The weight will come off at a good rate that way.
