Tylar_Connar · 04-25-2007, 06:52 PM

hey, we can get us a room!! but not with a password because that may hurt someones feelings from being able to visit....but i will let ya know when its up or just keep checking!!

Tylar_Connar · 04-25-2007, 07:01 PM

ok, we now have our own chat room!!

Sadler_Girl · 04-25-2007, 07:07 PM

I am the only one there

AuntieMame · 04-25-2007, 07:18 PM

You need some big hugs Candy!

I don't know what to say, but I have an ear ready.

Edwards20 · 04-25-2007, 07:43 PM

Ok, good news on the chat room.
I am humbled to tears tonight. I think I was pent up with anger, etc. that I just needed to release it .... but didn't know how. Well, AI has totally broken me tonight. My needs are so pale in comparison.

Lisa, you so should have watched this. Hugh Laurie along with numerous other stars were on there. You can pay to download the video but perhaps it will be on the tube at some point. It was "Stayin Alive".

Sadler_Girl · 04-25-2007, 07:45 PM

hugh laurie

chat room is up and me and dixie are all alone

AuntieMame · 04-25-2007, 07:45 PM

I dvr'd it. I'll have to watch if you say it's good.

Who was voted off?

Get to the chat room!!

Edwards20 · 04-25-2007, 07:50 PM

No one gone yet. Down to Jordin and Chris. Lakisha is safe.
Dixie, you MUST have Kleenex available before you watch it.
I just came to chat ... no one found

Trying again ......

I first read Tonia's post and thought she meant we could get a room at the mental hospital, but we had to allow visitors

AuntieMame · 04-25-2007, 07:53 PM

LOL!!

I am shocked Jordin is at the bottom.

Edwards20 · 04-25-2007, 07:54 PM

Uhm Hello, I'm there !!

AuntieMame · 04-25-2007, 07:54 PM

we have our own GG chat room.

AuntieMame · 04-25-2007, 07:55 PM

Edwards20 · 04-25-2007, 07:55 PM

Dixie, they are in random order, so that doesn't mean she is in the bottom 2 tonight. Do you want to know ????? They are saying now.

Edwards20 · 04-25-2007, 07:56 PM

Well, it's a good morning. Some of the drugs worked (the important ones). The sinus/allergy things are not helping much with this drainage. But, the nerve pill mellowed out my mood (which was somewhat freaky as I read back) and obviously I was VERY swollen. I have always had edema with NO explanation. Years ago, I had numerous tests done -- to no avail. Then after I had my hysterectomy, it stopped for a while. I had no problems until about 6 months ago. The fluid pill is prescribed daily, but I try only to take once a week. Sorry that you all had to endure that breakdown last night. The prayers worked, I feel much better this morning. Thanks for all your support.

Challenge Start Weight: 247
Current Weight: 233
Weekly Progress: -2
Total Challenge (30 in 3) Loss: -13

Here's to hoping that this week I can go down from here. This is back to the lowest I have seen in a while. One day last week I saw this number,so in a 4 day period, I was up 6lbs of water. BUT, if this WOE were not working ... and I were not swollen, I don't think I would be back down the 6lbs overnight. So, it has to be fluid. I doubt this issue will ever be resolved for me because I have had issue for so long. It's hard fighting the water retention issues and trying to lose below that. BUT, with God ~ ALL things are possible.

mycattaz · 04-26-2007, 06:51 AM

Candy so glad you are feeling better, thought about you all last night... wasn't on, so didn't know you were having a time with idol.... I watch all of it... it was great...except the part about jordon.... that was really mean to me....

I too have a problem with water retention and legs swelling... since I cut out breads and pasta, it doesn't swell as bad....

will check back later

BigStud72 · 04-26-2007, 06:55 AM

Hey Candy, first off

Sorry I missed you and the other GGs last night in the chat room. Nothing on the calendar tonight, so I should be home and catching up with y'all.

Keep your chin up and things will get better. Glad to hear your morning is off to a good start!

seb · 04-26-2007, 06:58 AM

Candy~

your back to your low

Wonderful!

Low Carb Mommy · 04-26-2007, 07:37 AM

I am so gald to hear that you are feeling better! Don't feel bad about being transparent last night. It helps us all realize that just because we are eating right doesn't mean that our lives are suddenly perfect! We all have issues!

I was wondering about your fluid pills....If your doctor wants you to take them daily, then why don't you? It may help you to take them as directed. I know both of my parents take them. When you have extra fluid like you guys do in your body, it puts stress on your heart. I would really consider taking them as the doctor directed. Or, at least talk to him about getting you a lower dosage if you don't need that much daily. ((HUGS))

Thanks for the personal invite....wrote you back. Here is to a brighter day (inspite of the rain)!

seb · 04-26-2007, 08:00 AM

Just read through your posts yesterday, Candy. I think we all have days like that, especially when the kids are young. I hope you're doing better today

twinkerbell · 04-26-2007, 08:21 AM

Candy!

Glad you are feeling better!

You are doing so well!

I'm proud of you girlie!

Have a great day!!

Edwards20 · 04-26-2007, 02:15 PM

Thanks Lisa. They actually swell the same bread or no bread.

Stud, can't wait til tonight.

Thank you Sue, Twink & Monet --

Beth, I don't take them daily because when I do, I seem to get dehydrated (according to Dr. Atkins that will happen), and I have horrid leg cramps at night and can't sleep. Perhaps I should try e/o night and just see. It isn't a very large dosage .... I also am supposed to take a beta blocker for my BP. But, I haven't taken it in a while - I know I should not have stopped it w/o docs orders ... but I read that it can make you NOT lose weight. I really don't think my BP has been up. But, heck I stall without it, so maybe I should start it back.
