Hi all! I'm joining you in a much better mood now. The sun is starting to come out; and I guess I just realized it's time to stop whining and get on with my life!!! Hope everyone else is doing well.
AP: how about you sweetie? I'd like to have a few words with your insurance co; like I could!!!!LOL Anyhow, I feel for you. I hope you feel better soon. The crap we have to go through to get what we need is endless.........I'd bare the brunt for you if I could!
Did you check out the pics on the "Xenedrine and losing inches" thread. WOW. I wish I looked half that good (but, of course--I'm a woman) I'm not working toward 6 pack abs; just a whittled middle. How'd he get those pics on here anyhow??? I t hink that "before & after" pics are great motivation!!!
Well, hate to cut it short but I still have to exercise. I'm also very interested in the chitosan/vitamin c combo; gotta research that one!!!
Lots of love to all

Hey guys, nobody but me!! I wanted to say Hi and hope everyone is having a good day. I have not really posted that much but have been reading! I wanted to say I'm now at 34 pounds lost and have 5 more to hit my goal. I have not been real good about going to the gym for the last few weeks because I have been so busy....not good.

Hi everyone! Another day in the land of diets... Hope you're all doing well. I'm having an OK day so far. Have to give myself a big 'ol pat on the back for not stress-eating yesterday. My husband called me at work & left a message on my voice mail saying that the woods around our house were on fire & I need to come home NOW! To make a long story short, the fire department had it put out before I got home, and our house & pets were fine. But I was a nervous wreck the rest of the evening, and wanted food or a REAL drink so badly! But I somehow kept it under control - hooray!
Hey jennielynn - what pics are you referring to?

I can't find this thread - is it on another part of the board? I wanna see the pics too! Extra motivation, you know!
Well, hope everyone has a good afternoon & evening. Bye for now!

I'm so ready for warmer weather! I'm sick of this on again off again sunshine! I finally have the confidence to wear nicer things, and it's all cold, drizzly, and cruddy out. No fair.
Anyway, I see most of you are doing well. I think I am too. Well, yesterday was a HORRIBLE day for me diet wise, but I think we all have those days. Remember I told you my weakness is cake frosting? Well...I couldn't get the tub to let go of my hand yesterday and I finished it off! I wasn't too angry about it though--I truly savored it. :)
Anyway, I also had stomach problems yesterday and today b/c I ate strawberries and I'm somewhat allergic to them. They make me *go* if you know what I mean, so I spent the day napping and doing my business. I felt very weak, and then my girls and I ordered takeout sandwiches at 2 am! Mine was so great--french fries, falafel, tomatoes, onion, hot sauce and white sauce all in one sub. I couldn't even finish it but it was damn good.
But
I just got back from the gym, I was there for almost 2 hrs. I couldn't run today (sometimes my body just doesn't want to do it) so I did the elliptical machine for half an hour, and the stair master for half an hour. Then I did squats and lunges, and then crunches.
I want faster results, darn it. I need motivation again. What with finals this week and next...

I have been trying to post for several days, but was unable to.
Anyway, it seems that if I don't keep in touch with you guys, all goes nuts. I have not been able to get back on track since my sister was here. It just goes to show me that I have a long way to go before I can conquer this food obsession.
Southernmom - I have been thinking about you in Tenn with all these tornadoes. I hope all is well with you, your neighbors and loved ones.
AP - I have been reading some of your posts, but must have missed something. What happened at the doctors?
Jen - where are you - you are my motivation?

I have missed yall so much....We have had no power since I made my last post, it came on for 30 minutes that day I made my post about carb cutter and as soon as I posted it BAM power went off....
Ok I must admit my name is Dee and I am addicted to this board....Talk about fighting with ones self with no power and no way to cook, fast food was almost in my mouth... :D But I made it.Yes the tornado came thru my town and took out alot of places I think the last report was 118.I took the boys to town today and we saw all it did.Sad.It was a mile from my house we watched it come thru.No damage here to our home or area just trees.OK I am going to try to catch up on some post and check back later.
My nerves are shot, seeing my babies in tears ripps a moms heart out.But they go back to school tomorrow and I have to go buy a new food. :( But I can make coffee now, so I am good to go....Have a great day.

hey esper, got it :)
im alive(in lotsa pain from being twisted, poked, &prodded) the nurse prac. was sooooo sweet. she really helped. she was really agreeable about speakin to the dr too. the dr, actually handled the anxiety really well. (i did have 1 attack when he came@me with the reflex hammer.) yes im afraid of it. not to mention that as soon as he went to touch my legs the cp took over& the muscles got really stiff. (linda you know i mean, lol)sigh... i got the rx for the pt, but im not alowed to have massage therapy or pt on my jaws(cuz they dont deal wh that which is dumb b/c the pt does ultrasound& masage is common for tmj. its ok: im gonna email my chiro & beg him to allow me back under private ins. on a monthly basis for the tmj& neck(manipulation is the only thing that helps it& its in bad shape since my trip to nh)
i probly should mention that anxiety was so high that i almost literally couldnt do the things the dr was askin me to do b/c my legs felt numb& the muscles were paralyzed. it was really hard 4 me to deal with.at least he stayed outta my face like i asked the nurse to ask him. in fact, he asked the nurse to perform the arm muscle strength tests just so he wouldnt be that close to me& even when he went to examine my legs he stayed as far as he could w/o bein outta reach.
fun huh? aFTER ALL THAT THE INS IS TRYIN TO DENY ME.

Thanks I am going thru these post and ughhhh yall made me cry...A good cry and thanks...But I am trying in my own blonde way of thinking about all this in a funny jokeable way or I would just pull my hair out.My answering machine which we have a cordless phone and couldnt use was full I just talked to my friend and she said Dee how did you not freak out I told her LOL
I gave my soul to the lord and just grabbed my ankles and kissed my azz goodbye. :D
If it's my time it's my time.She said only you would make jokes about it.I have let depression get me before and I will not go on pills for it so I have found a way for me to deal with it by joking about it I have no control over it, so why worry myself into a nutshell....Well I am trying to wash clothes we have another storm coming thru but that is ok I sent my hubby to go buy a generator so we will have some type of power if it goes out again.I am NOT dealing with this stuff again without my coffee.. :)

Houdini: Please tell me that I'm not crazy. This afternoon there was a thread called "Xenedrine and losing inches" and it contained several pictures of a guy and his "gut". Basically he was asking for ways to get a 6-pack. Maybe they disposed of the thread for some reason--is it possible that we can't post pics on this forum? I know I saw it though; because I even replied saying "I wish my belly looked like that!"
Esperanza: I didn't leave you! I've just been doing a little of everything today! How's it going? Hang in there sweetie; it's not going to happen overnight. It will take some time to conquer--but you will WIN!!!!
Hate to rush; but I gotta get dinner on the table before my meeting. I'll check back soon; I promise!

Ap - so what's next for you?
Dee - my heart goes out to you and all those affected. You actually brought tears to my eyes. I live outside of the Chicago area and we had a tornado about 10 years ago that destroyed a whole suburb. Like you, I took a ride to see what I could do - I just remember it looking like a bomb hit the area.
Jen - you are so right. I remembered that I needed to drink my water - so I have started that at least.
Well got to go. Blessings to all out there, and congratulations are in order for those that have remained successful thus far. Soon I will catch up with you :)

Hi! It's Linda. I haven't been on since Friday. I make all of my cards by hand and I had procastinated long enough. So I made all of the Mothers Day cards between Sunday and today. Saturday I sat outside with sweatshirt,jacket and blanket on being a support system for my hubby while he was siding my laundry room. About three months ago he started making the Florida Room into a laundry room for me.( Making it a fully useable year around room instead of just summer) In the future I will be having more and more difficulty walking the stairs so being a real sweety he knows that I want to be as independent as I can for as long as I can and that way it will all be on the main floor. Besides I'm allways telling him that he doesn't do laundry RIGHT!
I've really been drinking the water!!!
Tomorrow is the big day that I get weighed in at W.W. I hope that I have more luck than last week. Although I know that I've been pretty good. So I'llhave to see how it goes. My ice cream at night.** Only a little** is all that I have had this week. I am banking two or three points every day. We have all decided in the family that we are going to get K.F.C. on Mothers Day. That way we all get what we love and none of the women will have any dishes that day. So I figure I will be good all week so that I can have the biggest breast extra crispy with the skin on and not feel guilty. Hopefully once I get the taste in my mouth I willget right back on track on Monday morning.
I'd better get to bed. That darned clock goes off way to early.
I am so sorry about the terrible weather that you've had southern mom. Let's hope it stays calm for a while!
I'll try to get back on here tomorow afternoon. After W.W. a friend wants to go out to lunch. I'll go for the vegetable soup and crackers.
