Hi guys...here goes...
« on: October 28, 2011, 06:36:53 PM »
Hey y'all! Well, I've been walking 3 1/2 miles everyday but Sundays. I've gone from 240 to 204. From wearing a size 22-24 jeans to a size 18 petite jeans! That are getting to big! I really do feel great! Lots more energy! One of the reasons I have been hard core to loose weight is, when we lived in Fl., when I was driving a school bus(yes on purpose)I came home w/ a headache everyday, literally. I was takeing Extra strength Tylenol 3 times a day, and still no relief. So, I went to the eye dr. reluctantly! He said tht I had a sudo tumor(fake tumor, a mass behind my right eye tht won't let the fluid from the spinal fluid go back down)I have been batteling this for 3yrs. now! When I look at something, out of my right eye, it looks like I can see my pupil on the outside like a hayze. Makes it very hard to read sometimes. Then when I came up here, it was labeled a chronic sudo tumor, it had gotten pretty bad. The dr. here told me like the other dr. in Fl. said if I lost the weight because it causes pressure on my spine. and the nurse to the eye dr. was like, just add another lap! Ugghhh....I already feel like I'm busting my butt to loose weight as it is! They always make you feel like it's your fault that you're haveing this problem! I'm not giveing up at all, I'm just kinda blowin off steam. I'm sorry, it just seems the harder you work, is never good enough! I haven't had anymore headaches at all, and the eye dr. did say that the swelling around my eye has gone down a lot, that I'm almost out of the ball park! Again, I'm so sorry for the ranting!

Hi Stephanie! :)

KUDOS on your weight loss!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

No need to apologize!... We have broad shoulders here and want you to vent your frustrations.
If you cork them up, sooner or later, you'll have a complete meltdown. :o And we don't want that.

Anyway, it sounds like your eye condition is getting better with your weight loss... THAT'S GREAT!!!
As long as your condition is improving, don't let anyone or anything stand in your way.
Just knowing that your condition is getting better as you go along your FTS journey, should make you proud.

You don't need to "bust your butt" AT ALL to lose weight with FTS.
But when you do exercise, don't do more than you know you can safely do.

However, you should push the envelope a little in order to get physically fitter.
It's by the "envelope push" that we become stronger... inside and out! :)


What you do today is what matters!

Marty you crack me up! :D Snobles I can so relate to this.I have a disconnected retina which I have had for 23 years.The first doctor I saw told me I was going blind and I would never be able to see.My daughter was 4 and I was devastated.I went to a specialist in Utah and yes in my right eye I have zero vision but my left eye was just fine. So I can relate to the headaches and frustration you are going through.You are doing great and so is your family! I am so proud of you all!! ;D

Thanks guys! Makes me feel like I'm not in this alone! And WoW Umpa!(dr. told me same thing, if I didn't take these pills, I'd be blind for the rest of my life!) My husbands uncle, has the same problem as I do, but in both eyes! I feel so bad for him! But he is skinny as a rail, and had this problem back in the 70's when there was no medications for it. The eye dr. was like are you doing something different?! I was like, no, since he told me I could double up on the meds, cause takeing one pill four times a day is mindnumbing! Since then, I had a field test done, and we discussed my results, and I was waiting for the worst, cause I also had a leaky blood vessel! Can't seem to win. But apparently, everything we're doing on Fat to Skinny is helping everything, along with the pills, so, alls good in tha hood! I am uping my walking to four miles, sometime today. It's 33 right now! We'll see, LoL...Thank you everybody for listening to me. I feel lots better!

As you know, the worst day of fishing is better than the best day of working.
I hope you guys have a blast.

I just got an email last night from an old fishing buddy. We used to fish for steelhead.
He calls largemouth bass "Ditch Pickles". :D :D :D :D
Needless to day, he doesn't fish for bass. I hope one day to make him see the light.
Catching those guys on light (or ultralight) gear is a blast!!!

I only fish for fish I eat.Put them back,NO! You crazy! Fetch me some grease and cornmeal and get happy! By the time you add up what you spend on fuel and fishing gear that fish is probably $100 a pound!! :D :D :D :D :D
