Hi again to old friends, Helen G, I'm going to need help to do this, so a buddy would be good:D The Medifast Diet Medifast Official Site | Quick, Easy Clinically Proven Weight Loss targets you at between 800 - 1000 cals a day, depending on your choices. I'll wander off down to the Cambridge...

:wave_cry: Hi people, saying it's me again won't stir many memories, so I'll skip that and just say HI. I was about for a short while last year, when I was talking to the 'got a lot to lose' group. Well I'm back and I have even more to lose, I'm now :o 314 lbs (OK, English person, now living...

Not sure what now, trying to find a way out of the catch 22, to down to diet, but unless I lose some of this weight I won't feel any better. I think I'll give things a couple of weeks and hope that the pills do make a difference. We are currently between docs, just have a series of locums...

So.............how did it go with the Doc..........either PANTS or BRILLIANT depending on how you look at it. The bottom line is that physically I'm disgustingly healthy, the only slight concern on the bloods is that the total cholesterol reading is a little high, but I have good levels of...

I;ve survived one of my worst weeks ever, last Saturday my precious little 10 week old foal died suddenly, and I've been struggling to cope. The doc phoned yesterday.........he has the results of my tests, and I have to go see him in the morning (it's 11.30pm here as I type) I don't know what...

Thanks for that hottot, at the moment I'm still going with the doc's advice of don't diet, strange how some advice is easier to follow than others:):D I'm now at the stage I think I'm going to be shocked if the blood work comes back as normal, I'm so cold and tired and fed up and emotional...

OK, no diet, totally relaxed, even drunk 'full fat' soda, eaten sweets etc etc, result .......lost 1 lb, go figure:confused::sigh: Been for the blood tests today, he did ask for the thyroid, as well as blood sugars and hormones, five different lots of blood off to be tested. Some are done on...

The blood tests are done at the hospital, and I figure that I'll ask the person who draws them what's actually on the panel he requested, and then try and get Thyroid added. My hit rate there is fairly good, managed to get both knees x-rayed when only one was listed, talked them into taking...

I'm doing the blood tests on Monday am, had to be a fasting blood test, so had to go back, the truck needs new tyres so had to coordinate the two events:) I presume that it will be week to 10 days, for results, same as every test in every country:D:D

:giveup: OK so now I'm totally :confused: I went to see the Doc today, and our usual Doc wasn't there, :character00238: I don't like him that much, but the other one is worse!! So I had a nice :psiholog: with the locum, and he is sending me off for blood tests, but NOT for the Thyroid...

I don't know though, one leg must weigh a lot, I've got fluid build up in my bad one again, reckon that would drop a few stone:) Doctor is booked for Wednesday, so we'll see how that goes. As far as I know there are no exceptions to paying for drugs, but I do qualify for a partial rebate because...

I hope that they get your meds balanced soon. I've been reading the symptoms and really am wondering if I do have a thyroid issue. Hubbie needs to go and get a check up this coming week, so I'll book us both in, and get a full blood panel done I think. It's funny isn't it, I've been putting...

A check up at the Doctor is like the UK, doesn't cost you, apart from the fact that it is a 20 mile drive to the nearest one. The great thing about that Docs is that the 'cottage' Hospital is right next door, and often you can wander round from the Surgery to the Hospital and get your tests done...

But I guess like anything else, you just have to attack it one step at a time. HI :wavey: Century people, can I come play with you? OK, 50 year old ex pat English person, lived in Canada for 2 1/2 years, here. I know that I have over 100 pounds to lose, but to be honest, and I've promised...

I think I may need to get the Thyroid checked out, I've done some reading on the symptoms, and it sure sounds familiar, but to be honest I can read a medical dictionary and be suffering from most things in it:) The one that is really getting me is the tiredness and lack of concentration, I was...

Thanks for that Totty, I needed that, I'll try and stop frowning, I don't need anymore 'character lines' on my face, no wrinkles going on here:D It's hard to stop yourself hitting the comfort food when nothing is happening.

After 30 years of a 20 a day habit I quit 109 days ago. I actually didn't quit, we were flying back from England to Canada, and I knew that I was going to have to be smoke free, due to non smoking flights and terminals, for about 16 hours :eek:, so the trick for me was just not to start...

That is what is so frustrating, my head IS in the right place, I've got a great incentive, a new horse I want to ride, so it's a positive pull, rather than any sort of negative push. I'm following the guidelines from the Shapes diet that worked so well just a few years back, I'm just so mad...

As in I'm not asking because I'm looking for an excuse, but is there a reason why:confused: I've struggled with my weight all my life, and I know what usually works to shift pounds, but can never get the will power to keep it up. Last year I hit 50, I was laid up a lot due to a damaged knee...
