I'm on Humira and methotrexate. I don't think either one affects my weight either way. However, I do know there's a LOT of medicines that wreak havoc on a person's ability to lose weight.

Hope everyone is doing well today. My weight loss has slowed down some which I knew it would. Too bad it can't come off as fast as the water weight! I started at 269 and as of this morning I am at 257! Even though I knew it wouldn't last it is still kind of a bummer when it stops comming off so fast. :( My goal is to try and lose 10 pounds a month. We will see how that goes.)
I am off to do some grocery shopping and thought I would post the salad I am making with dinner tomorrow.
Lime/Pineapple jello
24-36 oz low fat cottage cheese
8 oz cool whip light
8 oz crushed pineapple
1 small box of sf or reg lime jello
chopped pecans
Stir dry jello into cottage cheese. Add cool whip, pineapple and pecans. Cover and chill
It's quick and easy to make and is a healthy dessert! Yummy!

MJ, how precious the time you get to spend talking/quilting with your Mom. You are blessed. Glad you are feeling better. Hope you get to make your trip. I want to go too...... I'm kidding. Although I would love to go and spend quilt shopping time with you and Carrie, I'm still in FL and will be heading back to Alabama early Sat morning. I've been gone 2 weeks now. Work has been busy and hectic, but getting to spend nights and weekends with my kids/grandkids has been worth the daily hassle. I will be SO glad when I get to retire. I have not done "good" with my eating, while in FL, although I could have done a lot worse than I have. I dread facing the scale. I will get back to my routine as soon as I am back home and have nothing fattening/bad in my house to eat.
Everybody that is doing good, keep up the good work. For those like me that need to do better, let's dust off our britches and get back on the saddle..... WE CAN DO THIS. Sandy

Today was such a blessing! And boy, am I tired!
I got to spend 5 whole hours with my Mama and Daddy. We had so much fun looking at patterns and talking about quilts. She absolutely loved her presents. We played and played with scraps and possibilities.
Mama cooked us a hamburger for lunch. We had fresh iced tea and homemade lemon cake for dessert.
It was just a fun and festive time! She really liked the baby quilt I'm doing, I sewed a seam on backwards so I have to rip and sew tonight. Or early tomorrow.
Thanks for the well wishes. Oh! and I got the sequel to yesterday's book in the mail today: "Fortunate Harbor".

So sad today...
My special friend that I told you about decided that I am not worth her time anymore.
Night before last I took a brave step and decided to share with her that I have a mental illness. I felt like she had the right to know about it sooner rather than later.
All she did was ask exactly what my symptoms were with the schizophrenia and she has not responded to my email.
I think the ultimate irony is that when you are gay you deal with people making judgments about us just based on our sexuality. She is one person that has experienced a lot of that and yet here she is making judgments about me.
Ugh. So so sad tonight.
I am taking my meds a bit early tonight and going to go to bed to watch tv and hopefully fall asleep sooner rather than later.
