Ok I am a dork and have a dumb question:

Everyone always talks about reasons people might have gained a pound or are losing slow. Often it is because of water retention. I am not that wise on the subject so I wanted to ask, What causes water retention? What are the major causes anyway? Exercise causes water retention? I know salt does.

Sorry if this is dumb but I really don't know too much ...

Most of you know that I've been job-hunting for a while, so I put in my notice a couple of weeks ago and tonight is my last night at work. The emotions that are flying around in my head are many and I'm just feeling a little "weird" right now. I really like the patients that I work with and the people that I am with (well, most of them), but I'm also very ready ...

Hubby and I are traveling via plane in September. I want to pack light. I am even mailing my medigrub for that week to Mom to assist in that goal. I know we have a lot of travelers here, so I was wondering some suggestions in luggage/tips. We will have access to a washer/dryer, so I know that will help. I heard airports are getting strict about carry-ons, so I want to be within guidelines. ...

A few of you have asked me what my oldest son's "15 minutes of Fame" involved. Well, our local paper wrote a story about him and it was published today so if you're interested, here's the link.

You'll be able to see why I am so very proud of him for how he responded to his "moment".

Ok so it has been 2 years today that I quit smoking....I LOVE IT!!!!! I had to tell you all cause I am so proud of myself and I know that if I can quit smoking I can loose weight.

AHHHHHHHHH! This site has so many hidden things! What is NSV? What is Onederland? Why is there discussion over Turkeys and Muffin Tops? Someone please fill me in. I think I'm going crazy!!!!!!! :shock:

Off to Tennessee but not off program. I have my RTD's all ready to go. I will be back sometime next weekend.

I will miss all of you and will not report weight loss till July 9th. I think it will be good for me to be away from the scale for awhile.

Keep shakin everyone!

I work for an international carrier...and let me tell you...our flights are packed! So my question is....

Where is everyone going this year? Does anyone have any fun travel plans coming up?

I think in November when I am as thin as my friend Dede..I may have to reward myself with a trip to Italy. Anyone else? :D

when i was larger (sad to think i could have been since i'm still so big) i used to combat discomfort with humor. ok, i still do.

i remember one time this guy kept looking at me funny.

so i asked, "does my ass make these jeans look big?"

I don't know if this is going to be random or dumb to some people, but I'm very sad right now. My 15 year old kitty has kidney failure and we're going to have to have her put down this afternoon. I'm very sad. I don't know what else to say. :(
