Claritin & saline nasal spray for sinus drainage, Tylenol for fever & body aches, Robitussin for cough. This is what the physician I work for tells everyone. You can take this even if you are on blood pressure medicine. Take Diabetic Robitussin (sugar free) if you are diabetic. If it last over 7-10 days you should call your doctor.

I've been on for a couple of weeks & losing weight. It is a really great site. I've used others but they weren't near as good. Good luck to both of you on your weight loss. I'm 41, married, with 2 grown children (girl, 22 & boy, 20) & one 14 month old grandson. I've lost before but it's harder now that I'm older. Hopefully it will stick this time. Smile

You go, Boy! Welcome to CC! I haven't been on long but loving it. I'm from SW Missouri, 30 miles east of Springfield. I have to work to keep my motivation up to & my husband doesn't help. He's disabled but works part time. He hates being by himself all day so he just wants to be with me at night. I don't blame him but I really need to do this. I'm tired of having 2 stomachs. I bent over the other day & he asked me what that was below my breast & above my stomach ( he doesn't mean anything by it). I told him that was my other stomach & why I' doing what I'm doing. I'm a nurse & really don't want to end up diabetic. I see too much of that every day. Stay motivated!Smile

I'm from Missouri also, but SW. I live in Marshfield which is about 30 miles east of Springfield, off I-44. Welcome! And I love this site. I think I'm actually addicted now. Been on here a week, not the whole time, well, almost. Laughing

The shots don't hurt bad as long as you have a good nurse. Don't be afraid to ask if the doctor's nurse is good at giving injections. People ask me all the time & I'm not offended. I just tell them to relax their arm really good. You can usually tell because the patients shoulder is up & feels tense. Most people can just take B-12 1000mcg by mouth & do just fine. There are some who do have to take injections.

We are counting our steps to help lose weight, but there isn't a way to put it in the log. It will only let you put it in as how many minutes. Frown Also I love Lucky Charms but having been steering away from them. I am eating the same thing every day, which is very weird for me & losing weight. It does make it easier to figure out. A lot less stressful worrying about what I can & can't eat. I do eat different things for dinner though. One of these days I will get tired of doing the same thing every day but I've been getting great ideas from everyone writing in.

I'm with you. I can't eat the white part of the egg alone. But that's a great idea that I hadn't thought of. I will boil some to keep on hand also. I've only been eating a piece of toast & milk for breakfast since I'm not much of a breakfast eater. Smile

You should only lose 1-2 pounds per week & cutting out the carbs is really hard. This site has made me realize how many carbs I've been eating. I'm now down below 50%. You should look at your analysis after you put your food in. I'm a little OCD so I've been putting the food in before I eat it. Smile
