Hey all!!
Just a quick note to say hi. I'm still around and still trying to lose weight. I've been going non stop with school, work and my Gram is moving, so I've been helping her too. Sheesh.... I'm lucky that I get 6 hrs a week to myself LOL.... still, it's better than being bored.
I hope that all of you are losing LOTS of weight. I haven't made oodles of progress in that department, but I've recently made a decision that should help!! I'm no longer on the birth control pill.
As some of you will remember, I had been having problems with not having a period and such --- along with pregnancy symptoms, but no pregnancy. In a nut shell, the doc still doesnt' know what the hell happened, but that this "sometimes happens to people on the pill". Terrific.... so either every thing is peaches and cream, or they ran the wrong damn test. Either way, I'm f***ked (no pun intended). So, I'm off the pill. The idea of having hormones in the body longterm doesn't appeal to me anyway. I'll be using alternate means of contraception from now on through. The pharmacist said it will take up to 6 months for my body to return to normal. We'll see.
As for school, well, I had my first chem test/quiz and I got a B+. I also just had a math midterm/exam. I think that worst case I got 60% on my calculus. If that's the case, it's not great, but that's okay. Calculus is hard -- and most people don't pass at all, so if I got a C I'll be happy.
Anyhoo, gotta' run for now. I'm high on coffee, in need of a shower, and my Biology book is screaming my name (okay, exaggeration.... it's the coffee talking :P).
Hugs to you all!!!
Cheers,
Luna :)))

Hi, Luna, how's life out east? It's great that you're busy and following your dream. Happy Thanksgiving. Do drop in more often. You're missed around here.

Luna! :-)
I have been meaning to post a search note for you, not having seen you since my own return. I am glad to hear things are going well.
Don't worry about Calc. You'll get by this year and that will very likely be the last you have to deal with it - though you will get close again in your bio-stats course later on. (Calculus was the bane of my college career. I dropped it four times. They eventually threatened me into finally taking it!).
I've had a crazy summer of field work and hadn't been doing too well with my weight loss. But I picked up Dr. Phil's book a few weeks ago and have been totally back on track. I'm typing this in a hotel room in northwestern Sask right now which oddly enough doens't have a scale in the bathroom (if you've ever been to a small Sask town...) so I can't tell the numbers.
CHeers :-)

I usually just lurk, but I had to post and say I'm glad you're back. I really enjoy reading your posts. Re the birth control pill: I just posted on this. I, too, stopped taking mine after the side effects were just too much. I've been off for two weeks and so far the biggest difference is that my appetite is way down. The whole time I was on the pill/trying to lose I was always hungry and miserable. Hate the fact that it may take so many months for this stuff to get out of my system, but at least I (we) took control.--Ellie
