44 pounds in 1 month is doable when you start out at over 400 pounds.
It still counts, though, so Martha, you are doing a wonderful job. Keep it up the diet and exercise especially. Those pounds are going to melt away! You can do it!
Not all MT's are overweight
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
WHAT? Who said MTs were overweight?...n/m

Are you Pilates people overweight by any chance? SM
I'd like to try it but honestly I'm afraid to as I need to lose, well, I guess really about 75 lbs.  I have a lot of back pain, and I hear these stretches will help with that.  But I'm afraid it will be SO hard and that I'll hurt myself.  What do you think? 
can't love overweight wife?! shame on you! nm

DEFINATELY TAKE IT
It may have some draw backs like any job but I would definately take it!!
MAN!! You definately NAILED it - sm

Really, I searched for the right words - you nailed it!!!  Standing Ovation to YOU!!!  This woman is a "blame freak" - isn't that narcissistic (s/p?) behavior or something along those lines?  BRAVO!!!     



getting neutered will definately help!!

Getting him neutered will help with the hyper-activity, the anxiety and the urinating.


You should also consider taking him to dog obedience school so he is properly trained.


Keep this one as you look. But, YES, definately start looking.

I am definately not a liar and I can
honestly say that I've been doing VR on the eScription platform for over 4 years now, 2 years at my current employer, and at 0.04 a line I can easily do 500+ lines an hour. I have a great primary account that I have been on those 2 years and sometimes if I get the few dictators that have templates I can even do 700+ an hour. It most certainly can be done!
We definately aren't.....
sitting around much.  They don't care if it's behind is the thing.  So basically they want every single second of my time occupied.  There might be a 5 minute break between patients or while you are waiting for the doctor to come out and during that time we get charts together, take a breather, yes, but not sitting around.  They just want me to take that 5 minutes, run type for 5 minutes, then run back to see if the doctor needs anything and just run a shift like that.  I believe I am just going to say no.
Nobody here seems to definately know answer Thanks see mssg

Coughing and sneezing have no affect/effect on it, and bowel and bladder functions have been normal.


Definately a management problem!!!
All a company has to do is have someone in charge of monitoring the system and asign the work or at least watch it and when it starts getting low, take people off the system until it builds back up. A hospital I worked for directly did this and it worked great. The company I now work for doles out the work evenly to all employees first and then IC next. Again it is the fairest practice and seems pretty simple to do, but as below posters stated, most companies don't care, they just want the work done!
You will definately see great results
within a week or two.  It's a great workout, easy, and definately will give you results.  Stick with it and you will be very pleased.  I love pilates
Definately ruins any fantasy I ever had about cowboys!

Definately affect/effect! Hate those!

It definately helped me. From the first dose I took I had no urge at all to smoke.
Unfortunately though I had a bad reaction to the medication and had to stop it after only a few days. I should say though that the reaction I had to the Wellbutrin had absolutely nothing to do with a side effect, but rather it exacerbated a prior medical problem I had. It's definately worth a try IMO.
10 pounds
The last 10 pounds are so hard to lose, so you'll have to really watch your diet here, incorporate some weight training, lots of water, more protein and less carbs. Do cardio first thing a.m., 30 minutes or so 3 days a week. Here is a link that has some ways to find out how much you burn, etc. http://www.nutristrategy.com/activitylist4.htm
I tried that, gained 30 pounds. Now, it's
Splenda, Splenda, Splenda. Only enjoy chocolate once a week now. Hmm, maybe that's why I get depressed? Chocolate withdrawals!
I am real too at 96 pounds. I would never let myself get that fat.

I have and think it is really cute. I just wish pounds
would melt off me like the snow melts off the little boy LOL!!!
I used to be 235.5 pounds and now weigh 115.5 (sm)
I am in the process of registering with the weight loss registry. I couldn't believe there was one! I did the yo-yo dieting forever. My recommendation to you is to scare yourself into the weight loss. Go get some labs done, etc., and find out how scary some of those numbers are. I personally had a scare, and that's what led to my weight loss. I've kept it off for a year and a half, including through a pregnancy. The weight loss registry has found that those who lose weight and kept it off have been essentially scared into it.

Good luck!
Bluefish and about 2 pounds of it. nm

My cat is 13 pounds and she just fits in the....

Sounds like a 27 pound cat might be too big for the litter boxes with the covered housing/top.  My cat just fits into this regular sized one.  Suggest you either get a bigger litter box system or have one built.  A 27 pound cat is a HUGE (loveable) cat who needs above-normal sized cat box.


Just my 3 cents  as a CAT LOVER!!!  *S*


 



Absolutely! I have 2 over 50 pounds...gee!

She looks really bad, IMO. She looked good about 50 pounds ago

I lost 22 pounds on it in one month!

Took it for about 4 months and lost over 40 pounds after
Phentermine is the generic, I beleive. You can order it in 3 months supply and it is cheapest. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that it WILL make you moody beyond belief!
My vet told me kitty has to be over 3 pounds--sm
before it can be spade, but since most kitties don't get adopted as soon as they are 6 weeks old, I think that is just a standard on the SPCA site you visited. I waited until my little girl kittie was 6 months old before I had her spade. If the SPCA is specifying six weeks after adoption, it is probably because they are offering some kind of discount if it is done by then.
Gain 100 pounds! That's pretty sad that anyone
would want to LET themselves go like that!

I hope you're kidding, but in some ways, I do know that transcriptionists sure do gain A TON OF WEIGHT!
I do Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds...

The tapes are really easy, just walking in place, kicks, knee lifts, and jogging moves.  A 15-minute "walk" equals 1 mile.  So I type for an hour or so, then do a mile, type for another hour or so, then do a mile.  It actually makes me type faster.


I too gained (30 pounds) when I quit 2 years ago. sm


What worked for me is the CORE weight watchers plan (no counting of points).  It is amazing how much you can eat and feel satisfied.  It is really not a diet but more a way of eating healthy.  It isn't Atkins or South Beach, as you get to eat carbs such as ww pasta, potato, brown rice etc.  It is very healthy and satisfying.  The weight just fell off of me 2 to 3 pounds per week.  I decided I couldn't see my self 'dieting' or counting points for the rest of my life, but I could live with eating healthy.  This plan is the BEST I ever tried, and believe me, I tried them all.  Good luck with losing the weight.  It is great that you are smoke-free now.


Yes I tried Trimspa and like Anna Nicole lost 55 pounds. nm

Yes, I lost 42 pounds on LA Weight Loss, but gained back 50 a little more than a year later . .

I was on the program for approximately four months and lost 40 pounds.  The weight did come off really fast.  At the time I was a member, there was a rebate if you kept the weight off for one year.  It sounded good, but you had to buy the supplements for the entire year, which by the end of the year added up to a few thousand dollars. 


In any case, after I finally lost the weight, I got pregnant with my fourth child.  I am now trying to lose the 50 pounds that I gained while pregnant, but my metabolism seems so much slower now.  The weight isn't coming off nearly as fast as before. :(


I recently lost 20 pounds. That means I lost 80 sticks of butter.
