I have a goal weight in mind, but what I really am thinking of is a goal size. I want to able to wear my clothes that are a certain size.
lauriejo, that celiac is a tricky one. The world sticks gluten in so many places. Are you avoiding hydrolyzed yeast and 'flavorings'?
Sadly, I am back on oral steroids, plus an injection, so I am bummed big time. Usually I gain 15 pounds and keep it for a long time. I'm hoping this time will be different. The doctor thinks saving my ability to walk is more important than worrying about a few pounds. Of course, he's right. It's scary when the back is deteriorating rapidly. Enough whining. Hope everyone's having a good day.
The rheumatologist is history - next stop is a nuerologist - immediately. Such fun. I'd rather be spending the money on fabric.
May is pastels. Does that mean florals or solids? I like blenders and large florals, but I'm not going to win, for sure.
Ya,I got to thinking,40 pounds would put me at 120 pounds.That would be too thin for me with my frame.I think 140 would be about right.And talking about your medicines,and maybe gaining weight,I too have what you got.My back is really bad,and most joints are shot too.My doctor gave me a script for meloxicam.But don't know if I want to take it.Side affects look scary.But if it works,it would be great.
