..

your FUNNNYYYY...

.. but I do like ya..

TexasKitKat · 04-24-2007, 08:12 PM

Hi, sweetie! Hope you are feeling better!

As you can see from my stats I've found a VERY fast weight loss method but I can't recommend it.....I just went through several days of the flu.

I suppose I'll gain back some of the 5 lbs. as my tummy fills up with food again, but I'm going to try real hard to keep at least some of it off....I've earned it!

You and I have come too far to turn back now so don't get discouraged if it goes slower at some times than others....sooner or later the body just HAS to give way!!

Again, I hope you feel LOTS better soon.

dantesmom · 04-24-2007, 10:46 PM

Awww Candy! Sorry you are feeling crummy. When I had that awful junk, the Theraflu brand of cold medicine gave me some releif. I iwll warn ya hto, I was so miserable that I didnt bother to see if it had any sugar or anything. Im hoping you feel better soon. Take it easy and take care of yourself!

Edwards20 · 04-25-2007, 05:58 AM

Thank you all. I do think it's a tight race between Jordin and Phil. And yes, Phil I luv ya. Thank you Kit Kat ... it is very frustrating.

Sally, it has to be the meds. I have been taking allergy/sinus pills and naproxen sodium. I think I have been eating on plan all week. Randy is losing like crazy and cheating all the time nowadays. I get up this morning and the scale says 239 -- WTH ??????????? I am in ketosis - large/moderate. I feel smaller. It's quite humorous now. Looks like a fluid pill is in order. If I am retaining as I have before, I can drop 6-7 lbs overnight with the pill. Doubtful, I will reach anything lower than 233. So I don't think I will have a loss to report for the challenge. What a crazy morning it's been. I must go get in the shower. I will try to check in the GG thread when I get to the office.

mycattaz · 04-25-2007, 06:55 AM

hi Candy just thought I would drop in on you.... So sorry you are not feeling good, do hope today will be better for you...

As for american idol, I think lakisha is going home tonight..... me and dh love phil too..... would like to see him win...

will be back later

Edwards20 · 04-25-2007, 08:55 AM

Lakisha was my pick from the beginning, but she hasn't improved or even stayed the same .... and I hate that. She is a sweet girl. I have mixed feelings about Melinda.

I am suddenly having a horrible day. The computer is messing up. I am so NOT into work today, and I am behind on my sales. The scales are up and I have been so good. I said early it wasn't going to bother me ....... but added to everything else, unfortunately it is. I am starving -- which is my own fault for not eating breakfast, but I haven't had much of an appetite. I think the meds have me up on the scale. But, honestly .... I am not craving sweets but I could binge on some serious food right now. I have never really been a binge eater, and never really had severe cravings until a couple of times since starting this WOE.

Tippy Toes · 04-25-2007, 08:57 AM

Hang in there, darlin.

Edwards20 · 04-25-2007, 09:29 AM

I just wish I knew WHY I wanted to eat ....

Hang in there Candy! Sometimes it's just hard to figure out the whys!

Hope you feel better.

AuntieMame · 04-25-2007, 01:23 PM

Hi Candy. Don't worry about the scale. Your body has shut down because you are sick. It is using all its energy to get you well. When you're well I bet you get a HUGE whoosh!

Edwards20 · 04-25-2007, 02:44 PM

Yeah, but I was gaining before I got sick ... I think

I broke down and ate pork rinds, sorta not gonna cut it with the water pill.

Randy brought up a very valid point. I told him it couldn't be just water retention because my ankles weren't swollen. BUT ... he said your ankles are smaller "normally" now and they look the same size they did 30lbs ago, so maybe they are swollen and you just don't think they are.

KimmerJ · 04-25-2007, 02:48 PM

do the finger test. Push in on your ankle and if it leaves a indentation (???) they are swollen!

Edwards20 · 04-25-2007, 02:50 PM

yeppers, all the way up to my knee.
i know to do this, but didn't think it because they don't look as big as they did before ..... i suppose that's a good and bad thing

thank you dear

KimmerJ · 04-25-2007, 02:52 PM

You're welcome Candy!

When I'm on my feet ALL DAY, it has to be all day in heels, My toes look like little Vienna sausages!!!

monet0329 · 04-25-2007, 03:01 PM

hehe.. glad its just the water weight.. good thing Kimmer came to the rescue .

..

I agree about Lakesha.. sniff sniff.. she was my fav as well.. I still think she is great.. and I am wondering of Simons comments are making me feel different about her?... you know how they say you have to have the LOOK to be in the biz.. well she is the heavest..

..

I know Rubin was big.. but hes a guy and it doesn't mater as much.. KWIM?

but I still hope it gets down to her.. Melinda and Jordan.. but I am scared she will go tonight.. so I have to pick Phil.. just in case..

.. you know.. to cover all the basis..

well.. going to see my mom tonight.. she is on her way home as I type..

BBL tonight..

iabowhunter · 04-25-2007, 03:40 PM

Hey Candy!

Hang in there. Don't get down on yourself and go looking for junk food. And for cryin' out loud...eat breakfast! It sets the pace for the whole day. If you skip breakfast, you end up getting hungry faster. It's so easy to stop at a gas station and grab some little debbie's (I hate that @#$%*!) that give you nothing but a quick carb and sugar rush and then leave you wanting more. Stay strong and stay on plan. You want to see some new numbers? I or shall I say "we" want to see you in some new numbers! It's not a race to get there. All the counts is that YOU get there! You set the pace. You make it happen! Be strong my friend! You can do it!

Gotta go for now. I'll be back tonight.

Take care,
Phil

becksterinindy · 04-25-2007, 04:32 PM

HI Candy........I hope and

Chris goes!!!! I never have been able to stand him

Hang in there and you will lose!!! Men always lose faster and better and yadda yadda yadda....bad bad Randy

Sadler_Girl · 04-25-2007, 04:35 PM

Breakfast dose help
I Know for ME if me breakfast is skimpy or lower fat I starve all day.

Low Carb Mommy · 04-25-2007, 05:06 PM

Sorry you are having such a bad day. It certainly doesn't help when everything else goes bad too. I think your fluid pill will help you feel better. You will able to see those skinny ankles after a good whoosh! It seems like everyone has these bad moments....we are here for you....just think if you were alone...would you give up? Greater days are ahead my friend!

Edwards20 · 04-25-2007, 05:30 PM

Monet, I am glad you are going to see your mom. you all are def. right about breakfast. I usually have breakfast, but with this sinus/allergy/crud and drainage, it's sorta hard to even want to eat. If I were alone, I would have given up a long time go. I came to this forum for support and I have gained it and made many lifelong friends in the process. Phil, you are right, it's not a race, but I guess I want to make it one.

Things have just been so horrible today -- and they shouldn't be. I read of others struggles and problems and mine are so pale in comparison. I feel so wrong for feeling the way I do and complaining. But they are my feelings and they are BIG and real to ME.

Now Hannah (may perfect angel) is acting like a total hellian tonight... I fear she is just reflecting her attitude of what she is seeing from me. I need to chill and relax ..... this is not the way I want my days to be.

Praying for peace .....

Sadler_Girl · 04-25-2007, 05:41 PM

awwwwwwwwwwww
I hope you feel better.
Relax that sounds like a good thing.
maybe some hot tea?

Edwards20 · 04-25-2007, 05:45 PM

No tea ... Lisa, I feel like walking out in the yard and freaking screaming .................................................. ................

Sadler_Girl · 04-25-2007, 05:49 PM

hey that would work as well.
I can throw a tempertantrum to rival any kid.great way to blow off steam .scream yell and throw things. and curse alot always makes me feel better, sounds dumb but it dose work.

Edwards20 · 04-25-2007, 05:52 PM

I mean I NEVER feel like this. I feel "mental" or something ...........

Should I fix a drink ? Should I have some more food (LC of course) ? Should I exercise. I mean why do I feel the need to look for a solution. Can't this just go away ? It's so frustrating. I feel as though I am beating my head against a while .... and with what or for what or whatever , I don't even know why anymore. No matter what happened, it just got worse -- and probably wasn't near that bad.

Now Hannah is pitching this horrible fit because I want to clip her nails.

Sadler_Girl · 04-25-2007, 05:57 PM

honestly I get days like that and no joke I just throw a fit or two and then feel better.some Henry Rollins , Bad religion or Dead Kennedy's and I feel better
Holiday in cambodia is cranked up at the moment You just have to find what works for you.
The cold meds could have you freaky as well. Just a thought.

Edwards20 · 04-25-2007, 06:01 PM

They very well may do so. Maybe cold meds and ketosis don't go together. Problem is .... I can't pitch a fit in front of Hannah. I just threw the nail clippers across the room, and then felt like a child.

Ughhhh ....... I think maybe she is getting sick or something ?? She never acts like this, I never act like this. Maybe it's knowing Randy is never home anymore and I feel the load of EVERYTHING on my shoulders.

Honest to goodness, this is crazy ..........
