anyways... if anybody has a 24hr All Sport membership, i'm down to meatup for some racquetball at the location off 75 & Royal. any evening is generally cool.
if you don't have a membership, it's only $100 to join (that's including your 1st and last month dues) and then around $30 a month. not a bad deal considering all the amenities they have.

Thats the gym i work out at, when you usually go?

I'm going to have to hit you up about some racquetball, I was just talking to my roommate last night about getting back into it.

Well, I have never played racquetball, so i suck as well lol. My mom used ot play a lot so I could probably borrow a racquet. Lemme talk to her and see if she has any old racquets and I'd be down probably. I need to get motivated to be more consistent to the gym anyway.

ossum.

if she doesn't... you can get one for $25 and they don't require a breathalyzer or lawyer to start.

lol, because I already have a checking account, and because fat people don't like getting advice.

Everyone made their own food with ingredients that are as natural as possible. But as with everything, people got lazy as technology got better. We are living a very sedentary lifestyle, all while consuming more food than we really need.

That's a really good theory, and according to Ash and Hepkat, it's a true one. I keep meaning to try to cut out all processed foods from my diet, but, I'm having a really hard time with it. I wonder if I could try it, but allow myself one day a week to eat whatever I wanted.

Merritt.....you might look into Armour Thyroid. I know that it has been around for a long time, but it is also all natural. I have been on it for a couple of weeks now and I love the change. Granted I am not obese or anywhere near being called fat. I got it prescribed because my T3 & T4 levels weren't inline and it was affecting my energy level and alertness. I certainly haven't noticed pissing anymore than normal, but I drink lots of water so pissing a lot is normal too me.

whoa i didn't read that. synthroid makes night-ripped piss every 5 mins? lol. didn't change my life one bit and hasn't for 5+ years. well, if you don't count the fact that i kept my hair and i am at my normal weight.

That's pretty good for Synthroid. There's a lot of stuff on the net about people loosing their hair, energy levels all over the map, weight gain, and women developing cysts.

sorry guys... don't remember what i was taking. it was many years ago (and only took it for a month). i'm getting another physical here in a few weeks and i'll have them recheck my shiznit.

For sure. Everyone likes me so much that no one (in their right mind) would say, "Hey, Kitty yr fucking fat." I had to see pictures before I started working out & eating right. Then I fucked it up by drinking a lot, now I have to start all over.

I would HATE HATE HATE to be fucking overweight AND pregnant!

and yeah, super fat ppl do suck when they only talk about fat they are & do absolutely nothing about it. I was also bounced to the floor by a fat gambler this wkend & sprain my ankle. I bumped into them & the was bumped to the floor.

uhm, the problem as i see it is mis-diagnosis. if you medicate too high with synthroid you get an overactive thyroid; too low and you have the same inactivity. we took a gradual approach and leveled it out once we got the desired test reults. it was a good 6-9 month process, but it was worth it for sure...
