| i've been trying not to read and post much because i realized the forums just weren't using up enough calories - darn the luck - but i agree with you wholeheartedly, slappy! i'll have been 'here' a month thursday and i feel like some of you i've known for ages already.... and even when posts aren't meant for me, i still get encouragement just from reading them! thanks to you all... we're all stronger and have more willpower together than we even know! | |||

| i don't know - i looked on their site also and didn't see it - i've taken pictures of my loaf - who'd have thought a month ago i would have been taking pictures of a loaf of bread and been excited to share them - and as soon as i post them on my profile page, i'll holler... or give me a few minutes then you can 'see' it so you know what to look for | |||

| meredith, i'm with ya, girlie! my hubby started this change in eating habits last weekend since he's noticed i have lost 10 lbs in the last month.... and in the first week, he's lost 5lbs.... and has eaten things like that yummy crispy shrimp thingy at TGIF's.... and is STILL losing.... LOL i don't think you're being selfish, m'dear.... you're being honest with people that know exactly how you feel.... | |||

| tracy, that's where i found mine too - in the middle section... i think there were deli meats or something below it - all i remember seeing was the laughing cow and thinking CHEESE! hahaha i'm sure it's available in lots of other places - that's just the first time i've noticed it | |||
| Weight Loss | Headaches, crankiness - is it just me? | Mar 21 2006 13:23 (UTC) |

| hi nancy... i had the headache/grumpy/stay.away.from.mom syndrome when i started this a month ago.... and i agree with the ones that said don't try to cut everything too fast.... i found i had to nibble on things that were good for me.... a TOTAL switch for me since cheetos were my favorite thing in the world... and eat often.... little snacks.... if you absolutely can't do without something, take a couple of bites and then walk away for about 20 minutes - i read somewhere on here that it takes 20 minutes for your body to realize it's been fed - and so i've been trying to eat more slowly and then keep myself busy until my system catches up with me and it's working.... at least for me.... you'll get there - slow and steady wins the race... | |||

that depresion bug is just horrible, angel... like several of the other ones that have posted, i've lived with it all my life... tried it w/o meds but for me, meds work better.... talking does help.... and feel free to shoot me an email also if you like... i'll make sure i post my email on my profile page... (trying to remember if i've done that yet) hang in there... and hang in here... i'm amazed at how supportive this site is and how much help and encouragement i get just from reading other people's posts...
and remember, this, too, shall pass... cheryl |

if it helps any, cekurs, i had a dr's appt monday and appeared to have gained 3lbs by his scale... came home and mine was the same.... at first, it was quite disheartening... but yesterday i ate well and this morning, the day i 'officially' weigh (meaning i force myself to go stand on that scale and log whatever it says) those 3lbs were gone again.... one meal won't ruin your hard work... you're doing a great job! i think your plan of meals for today is going to put you back where you want to be! and i'm glad your mom is out of the hospital!!

| i use my bi-pap machine almost every night... one thing i noticed that wasn't mentioned was something my neurologist told me when she orderd the sleep studies... there's recently been a study - sorry, i have no link to back this up, only what she told me - but this study has shown that if there is any blockages in the brain (that's me! that's me!), depriving it of oxygen at night can make those blockages worse.... who knew? so when i'm tempted to toss that mask aside in the middle of the night, i just focus on the 'traffic jams' that could be happening in there and figure i'm preventing any more damage! so, not only am i more rested because i actually DO get some rest, i'm attacking those evil little plaque monsters lurking in there... LOL.... maybe if you think of it that way, you can prevent the same thing from happening, ya know? | |||
