I have now lost 47 lbs and getting weighed tonight at my Taking off Pounds Sensibly class. I thought I was doing pretty good, but i had a few chest pains so I went to the Dr, and he referred me to a cardiologist, when I had the ekg, it showed that I had had a heart attack. The Dr acted very nonchalant about it and I go for an ultrasound and stress test next week, but he scared me to death He gave me a beta blcker blood pressure medicine. I was so disappointed because I thought with all the weight loss and eating better that I would be taken off of Blood Pressure medicine. Any twinge I am stressing out. I went to the dr and my blood pressure was 100/70 with this new pill.
That is great about the volleyball and going to the gym, that's going to be my next step if the Dr says okay. Is volleyball fun? Did you play before or just playing for the first time? I feel great anyway. My knees don't hurt and I am walking without pain and no limping. You can't tell I need two knees replaced. As long as you keep trying to eat healthy and make some better choices, than you normally would that is great progess.
Lisa, it is good to be back!!!! I truly have missed talking to you all. I have never belonged to anything online where I look forward to checking in and seeing how everyone is doing and sharing all of my life's craziness. it is nice to not be alone and have friends who unfortunately have been where you are.
Step-I don't know what I would have done if I couldn't at least read about what's going on with everyone. it was driving me crazy, but glad it's fixed now, so glad.
