OM Can relate with you. WE are having the same in our office but it isn't flowers. We have had a mager back up in the office. has gone on since last week. We are suffering from mold. My collegue is really bad I keep waiting for hiom to have a major attack. I'm sicker than a dog by the time I get home due to my intolerence to mold. We have complained and complained. The matiance man keeps saying it's in our heads. Yesterday we had QA meeting with the Doctor of facility. I brought up this mold issue. 5 minutes after the meeting personnel was there to clean it up. Big surprise for them. They had to replace base boards of cabinet becuse they were satuated mold not only on outsides but also growing inside of them because they were just fiber board. I took it one step forward and pulled up the carpetting to show it was no longer clued down and revealed the mold under the tiles that the carpet was clued on.

Way to go

My walk today was a no go. 80* and windy now, but spent from 1:30 PM till half an hour ago with Robert in the hospital. So far things are fine,but because of history with gluten intolerence and strokes they are keeping him overnight to keep an eye on him. So no walking to work tomorrow.

Good morning all

http://www.geocities.com/a_nuter_kruse/life_i n_kansas.

I weighed in at 191, was actually dreading this weigh in, since I cheated by having a slice of birthday cake at work. I have discovered if I fix myself a snack pack of celery with fat free creem cheese and Smart balance peanut butter spread on top, sliced in bite sizes, triscuit fat free, and grapes or sliced apple to take to work. I snack on a couple of these items every hour and by lunch time I'm not as hungry.

Then at lunch I will have weight watchers or other meal of the sort with a class of V8 low sodium never eating the whole meal. Also Health Smarth and progressive have wonderful soups of only 100 calories

I watch a special on Discovery. They were testing different foods for different affects. They concluded a diet high in protien stays with you longer than a diet of high carbs or fat.

They also tested the affects of dairy products to aid in dieting. They concluded the calcium in dairy produts helps prevent the absorbtion of fat.

They suggest if your dieting to eat high protein, fish, chicken, turkey with 8ounces of dairy, and recommended fiber,  in each meal. I tried that today and I hunger cravings (snack) were not there that much

Thanks Omagraf

 I will try your suggestions. Robert does drink high calorie suppliments/ soy based/ to prevent any cross contamination of gluten. He'd love a beer but it is a no no for him loL.

   My weekend was not a great weekend. I know it was too good to be true, I had not yet come down with the bug going around out work. This weekend consisted of broths and jello the bug caught up with me. To make matters even worse we had 5" of snow Saturday night grrrrrrrrrrrr.

   I'm going back to bed for I still feel terrible all take care. Hey throw this into your German Kruse. It is my maiden name yep full German blooded.

Hello mavmom

I am willing to join you in this quest. I seem to have a problem losing then gaining right back. I need low cal, and low fat, but my husband needs high cal and fat. 2 years ago he fell ill spent 1month in hospital fighting for his life. The stress was too much and my diet went out the door, now I am going to try once again.

  My morning and afternoon meals are not a challenge for I eat them at work. My evening meal is the most difficult. My husband cooks the evening meal since he is disabled and now retired. He keeps in mind that he has to put on the weight. It's been a long difficult journey for him. When he came home he weighed 104 pounds he has slowly gained up to 124 pounds. His meals are very delious, but high in calories. What can I do?????????????????? I am stuck and wish not to discourage his weight gain.
