The first annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 100 yard dash, featuring Robin Zander versus Slash in a cross-dressing sprint to the cup championship.

Shout out to the fan there to the right of slash, the girl there with the Big Gulp, who apparently has her head on backwards.

 

Like I told you Saturday morning, you're looking good (no I don't want a date). Keep up the good work, we are proud of your progress.

 

Excellent - a deduction for your reduction! :lol:

 

NO YOGA SPANDEX, please.

 

I will second what Dave said!

 

Smile Bud! You're vertical and above the turf.
That makes it a very good day, after day after day after day.....

 

And I'll bet you a case of coke it's not "just the meds". I'll settle for multi-factorial, the meds may be a part of it. Not everyone has trouble with statins BTW, and most of those that do have muscle aches rather than depression. I wouldn't hang my hat on that as the catch all end all. And since the majority of present day thinking includes the premise that a significant portion of mental health issues are do to either temporary or permanenent chemical imbalances, preaching avoidance of potentially helpful psychotropic drug is perhaps the worst piece of advice one can give. I'm fine with homeopathic remedies, they have their place, but I've also seen disasters from people NOT taking medication or trying an alternative cure. Balance--counseling and medication together--generally has the highest success rate.

Nate, I couldn't agree with you more--mental health care is a disaster in this country--not so much the quality, but the accessibility. And that's disgraceful--taking a group of people who generally have the hardest time asking for help in the first place, and making it that much harder. Keep at it, you're doing the right thing persisting.

Personally I think mental health gets the short shaft because it's the easiest thing to ignore, even by the General do gooders No powerful lobbies, and unfortunately many people unfairly attach a stigma to it. Our priorities are so screwed up sometimes....

 

This is a MEME waiting to happen....

 

That's actually true, sort of.

 

One tip...
Remember, you might pleatu a bit cause you are loosing a bunch of fat, but building some more muscles from the walking....
So even if you see a few weeks "suboptimal" losses, you are setting yourself up for better losses in the future!! Keep up the good work!!

 

Glad to hear the progress and know you are feeling great.

 

Ummmmmm..... Yeah..... OKAY..... PLEASE........No explanation needed....
