The oncall dr. called back and said since I did not have pain or fever it was my sinuses!!!!! I am so sick of them! The drainage was making me sick again! He called me in a ZPack and I got it last night. So, today, I had an Isopure because I did not really want to eat food in fear of getting sick. Well, that did something to me. Oh my I was in the bathroom all day! I was miserable. I feel better now, and I ate an egg. Does anyone else have issues with sinus drainage? I sure hope this antibiotic works!

Hey Renee, I am so sorry that you are having a rough time. *hugs* Hang in there and keep me posted as to how your doing. I will keep you in my prayers.

As for me I am not MIA (sorry did not return your email) I have been busy, I just went back to work since my illness and I started my new position. Been crazy and I get so tired after lunch. Next week I start my traveling back up. Should be interesting with my new lifestyle.
Take care my friend and I wish you well! *huge hugs*

Well, I have just packed up 4 bags of clothes that no longer fit!!!! What a wonderful feeling. I am giving them to a friend's mom and out of my house! lol It feels so good to see progress and feel good! I am feeling so much better. That sinus infection threw me for a loop! I was a mess. Monday will be 8 weeks, and for the first time this week, I have noticed more energy! I work 2 jobs and I am always so damn tired. This week, I would come home and not go straight to bed! I hope I continue to become more energetic daily! One good thing is I have not noticed my hair coming out. I have strands here and there but not clumps! I am hoping this is the way it will stay.

Oh yeah, down 53 pounds!

Last night was my Christmas Party for my second job. It is always so much fun because it's an open bar! ha well, this year, I was unable to drink, but it was funny to watch everyone else look like fools! It was a great feeling when people were telling me how good I look!!!!! My self-esteem is getting such a boost these days.

I have a picture, but I have to upload it. I will post it ASAP.

I have been having troubles with my back lately. The dr. said it is because I am loosing weight fast and my body is adjusting. Well, after 3 days of not being able to get out of bed like I am 80 years old, I went to get pain meds and relaxers. I just could not take the pain anymore. I have not been able to exercise, it is so frustrating. The drs. assured me it is temp. problem. Lets hope!!!!

*hugs* I hope you are feeling better soon!

Well, I have lost 70 pounds!!!! Tomorrow will be 11 weeks out. I am so amazed how this journey has been. I feel great. My back is feeling better, so I am able to exercise more. I have not been very active in weeks because my back has been a mess. So, I am hoping that is behind me, and I can move forward. I saw my parents last night for the first time in a few weeks. They could not believe the way I looked!!!! I FELT SOOOOO GOOD!!!! I am down to a 1X shirt and 18/20 pants. I am losing 6 pounds a week average! I am going to get my hair highlighted and cut as a treat.... I will post pics when it is done!!!! YEAH!

WOW Renee that is an amazing loss! An average of 6lb a week is fantastic! Keep up the good work!

Found out on Wednesday that my husband needs knee surgery. He was supposed to have it 2 years ago, but never did. He tore his LCL and ACL. It has gotten worse over the years. Should be interesting! And the surgery date is New Years Eve! What a way to ring in the new year!!!

Hey Girl, So sorry to hear of the news. I will keep Vince in my prayers and you as well since you will be his "nurse" once he is home.
