Subject: RE: TEAM SKINNY - June a marriage of weight and goal (June2010)eahlquist1 - 2010-06-09 2:15 PM Beamer - Soooo hard to break into the 140's for me. I'm right there with you. Sooooo, I went to the dermatologist on Monday and I have eczema. And I got a steroid shot that may cause weight gain. Doc says the reason for the eczma is stress. So I'm trying to take some pressure off of myself. I'm not logging workouts but I am taking power yoga and going for long walks/runs daily. I might quit weighing in if it gets too depressing. So far it looks okay June 2 - 151.4 June 9 - 150.2 Goal for June 145. Sigh. Hopefully we'll break into our goal this coming week! Regarding the eczema. I constantly battle it. Horrible, because I love to scratch it. BTW, it's also related to seasonal allergies. My eczema is like yours though, stress related. The more stressed I am, the more itchy I get. Shots work, but yes, they do cause weight gain. Have you changed your laundry detergent, bath soap, shampoo, eliminated dryer sheets, started using fragrance free lotion...fragrance free everything? & Yes! Yoga helps! |
