@Jessica Thank you, that means a lot to me. I really do appreciate it.

@Paige Knowing that I have a group of friends to encourage me has done wonders for me. I truly believe that having a support system is key in all things, whether losing weight or just trying to make it day~to~day.

Daenel, you are doing GREAT! I know how frustrating set-backs can be but your plans are solid and on-track with a healthy lifestyle, no matter what the medication is doing to make it feel like a set back. I am here to support you! You’re awesome! Keep up the good work.

Thank you, ladies. I so appreciate all the words of encouragement. I’m just happy that my vision has returned. Now to get everything else back on track. I’m not letting this deter me from my goal.

You really have to be gentle with yourself right now as you deal with the meds you are taking. Go through the motions in an active way with the diet and moving around. Try not to get upset or disappointed that your body is not changing the way you want. You are on some powerful stuff these days, but it will be worth it. You are a beautiful woman, every day.

Trying to be active sounds like a really good goal. It is so hard when outside forces come in to destroy what you’ve worked toward but I like that you are not letting that take you down. It sounds like you are on your way back on track. Have a great week!

It sounds like you are having a good perspective through it all Daenel…and I agree, the encouragement and support of others is what gets us through the challenging times! The increased fruits, veggies and water are great goals…some of my very same goals too! We ARE doing this and you will get there…step by step!

Thank you for stopping by and offering words of support and encouragement. I think tenacity has to be one of my strongest points, hahahaha, being a mom makes you strong and gives you the ability to push through even when you feel like throwing your hands up.

Hope that you’ll be able to be off the meds soon & good for you for not letting that stop you from moving forward if only mentally and not on the scale for the time being. Be proud of yourself for not just giving up
