THOUGHTS FOR THE DAYPatty B
It's not the pants that make you look fat. It's the extra 20 pounds on your behind.
Running burns calories. Running your mouth burns friends.
Having a hobby is a stress reliever. unless your hobby is cheesecake.

NO PAIN NO GAIN
THOUGHTS FOR THE DAYPatty B
Pear shape or apple shape? Or just regular sausage shape?
When the chips are down, you can't eat the dip.
If your pants are the same size as a regular sleeping bag, you don't need the s'mores.

NO PAIN NO GAIN
THOUGHTS FOR THE DAYPatty B
Chromium, copper, iron, magnesium: if you take all those supplements, you'll set off the metal detector at the airport.
If the counter guy offers you fries with that, it's rude to refuse.
It's not overeating. its stockpiling calories.

NO PAIN NO GAIN
THOUGHTS FOR THE DAYPatty B
Women are like wine. As the age, they become more robust and full-bodied.
I still have everything I had when I was 17. it's just 18 inches lower.
Is wrestling with my conscience considered weight lifting?

MODERN MIRACLE- AND YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT IT IS!
Marion Pellicano Ambrose
I’ve been so focused on trying to lose weight lately! I gained a lot of weight when I had to be on Prednisone for 9 months. It didn’t help my disease, but it made me blow up like the Goodyear Blimp! Since I’ve been off steroids, I’ve tried everything to lose weight: Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, Counting calories, and starvation. I lost a pound one day and gained it back the next, even without cheating! Finally I read that Atkins helped people with Autoimmune Diseases to lose weight so I followed it faithfully for a month and a half. I lost 15 pounds and was thrilled, except no one seemed to notice a difference. My clothes fit a little better, but not what I would have expected. After the first 15, I hit a plateau and couldn’t lose any more. I broke the diet and went back to plain, healthy eating (low fat, no bread or cake, very little sweets at all and lots of veggies and fruit) and gained 10 pounds! I know I would probably lose some weight if I could exercise, but my disease keeps me from even walking any distance. I can’t lift things, raise my arms above my head or even stand for any period of time. I realized I was depressed, tired all the time, couldn’t concentrate and I started to lose my hair again(and I’m not on chemo). I also noticed the spasms in my legs have gotten worse and I’m having trouble sleeping at night.
Sound familiar? If you are experiencing these same symptoms I might have news for the both of us! I came across some information that may hold the key to my problem. The following are all some of the major symptoms and signs associated with an under active thyroid. Some symptoms are more significant than others.
Depression, weight gain, difficulty losing weight, low energy, fatigue, dry skin, hair loss, slowed thinking, poor concentration, brain fog, memory problems, insomnia, poor sleep, waking up exhausted,tingling in hands and feet, muscle pain, swelling in ankles, constipation, slow heart rate, low blood pressure, anemia, thinned eyebrows, pale, puffy skin, vertigo, fibrocystic breasts, low body temperature and hoarse voice.

The information was in an advertisement for a supplement that is supposed to handle all these symptoms and make you lose weight. I couldn’t believe what it was when I read it…………Iodine! The article stated that a combination of (5mg), Iodide(7.5mg),Selenium (15mcg) and Vitamin B2 (15mg) was all that was needed to reverse all the effects of an underactive thyroid- without a prescription. It also has been shown to help several other disorders. These conditions include Fibromyalgia, thyroid disorders, chronic fatigue immune deficiency syndrome, autoimmune disorders as well as cancer.
Is it true? Well, I did some research and there seems to be quite a lot of evidence backing it up. I found several varieties available on the internet and several studies showing that it does work for about 97% of the people tested. I sent away for the most popular form, Iodoral and plan to give it a go! Hopefully, the next time I post a picture of myself I’ll be thin, glowing with vitality and I’ll remember where I put my car keys! If you’re interested in doing some research yourself, here are some of the places I went for information.

BLOAT BLOG...
Marion Pellicano Ambrose
OK, so why is it that women have to retain so much water and men don’t? I take a medication called Furosemide to keep my ankles and legs from becoming swollen. My husband and I went away for a few days and I forgot the meds. I came home and “poof” my ankles, knee and legs blew up like a hot air balloon at a county fair! I can almost hear the “swish” of water as I walk! I cut out salt, I drink lots of water (which I hate), cut out soda, I keep moving as much as I can, and I drink tea from morning till night. So why am I still the marine version of the good year blimp?
My husband on the other hand, eats salted peanuts all day, drinks cases of Diet Coke, pours about a pound of salt on all his food, and never retains an ounce of water! It’s true he’s very active, but come on, is this fair?
It’s the same story when trying to lose weight. I eat enough veggies to rival a rabbit, cut out just about everything with taste and that little needle on the scale doesn’t budge. He eats 1 large bowl of Fruit Loops instead of his usual 2 and loses 5 pounds! Based on these facts alone, I have concluded that God must be a man!
Am I the only one with this problem? Is there a man out there somewhere that suffers along with us women when it comes to water retention and weight? And most importantly, does anyone have a suggestion as to what can help deal with these issues besides more medication? Please respond to my “ Bloat Blog” and let me know!
