I'm seriously contemplating calling the office and asking her to try something else. On top of that, I now have to avoid artificial colors/sweeteners/etc for my ADD, and also start a low carb diet for my weight. I've been rebelling all week, but I guess I should get started on this.
I'm so mean though, I told hubs that if I was doing this, so was everyone else. It's far too expensive to buy 2 different kinds of food on our budget!
I started a low-carb diet in August (when we got back from Sturgis since I knew I'd have a hard time with it on vacation) and have lost about 15 pounds since being on it. I wasn't told by my doctor to go on it, I just knew from past experience that it's what has worked for me. When I first signed up for MFP in January, I was trying to just watch my calories but found I was snacking CONSTANTLY and was ALWAYS hungry!! I'm definitely more satisfied and stay full longer while eating low-carb. I'm not sure if you are a member of the Low-carb group or not, or if you have time to keep up with another group, but here is the link. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group People are generally very knowledgable and non-judgmental, just like our little group here. I try to stay under 30 grams of carbs of day, so like second phase of Atkins. That's where I'm losing weight. I am tracking on here as well. I hadn't been doing that and during that time I didn't lose any weight.
Friend me if you'd like to.
Good luck to you!0 -

Thanks I'm so excited to get it and get it all set up with you guys woo hoo!!
Nice!!! I'm still Fitbit-less, but that's ok. I'm currently obsessing over the Garmin Forerunner 225...has HRM w/out needing a strap, built in GPS, good for running.... I wants it! Saving up for that currently. Wish I could join the Fitbit crew, but I don't like the comparable Fitbit version (Charge HR) as much as I like the Garmin. heh
I adore Garmin, I'm trying to justify getting the new one...0 -

I have the Tomtom Multisport. It also has the HRM in the wrist. I needed it and didn't want to wait for the new Garmin to come out. It gives me all the info I need, was cheaper, and I can download the data from the watch through an iPhone app. It automatically loads into Map My Fitness.
This is the first non-Garmin tracker I've had since my 305 (RIP).0 -

Suzie, honey, I ate all of everything yesterday. 20th anniversary of my mom's death. I still can't decide if the hardest thing I have ever said is "My mom didn't want to live.this way, unplug the machines." Or "Nana's gone to heaven."
Both equally hard! Hugs to you.0 -

I am so sorry. I can't add much more to what everyone else expressed. Take care of yourself. Grief peanut butter is very acceptable!0 -

My husband bought it for me two Christmases ago. And even though it was past its 365 day warranty, they are sending me another one!!! I thought for sure I was going to have to buy another. I'm freakin' pleased as punch right now!
They really have great customer service.....they are currently sending me a new band for my flex because my split...again....second time!
Another company that has great customer service is Apple. Last year my iPad was almost out of the one year warranty (I think I had a week left), & I started to experience weird glitches with the screen & apps. Apple said that if I sent in my iPad they would try to fix & refurbish my old one, & if they couldn't get it fixed they'd send me a brand new one. They couldn't fix the glitches, & sent me a brand new one a few days later.
I agree with Apple having great customer service. I once bought a used mac book and accidentally sat something on it and it crushed the screen. I sent it back to Apple. They fixed it and shipped it back through DSL and it turned up missing. I called them and although they could have told me they had proof they sent it back and it wasn't their problem, they sent me a new mac book, no questions asked (even waited a week so that I could get the newer model) and it didn't cost a dime. I am now a die hard Apple fan because their customer service is the best.
And on a side note, turns out an employee from DSL stole my computer because someone tried to log into my .mac account a day later. Coincidence....I think not!!!!!! And now I glare at their trucks every time I see one.
Nice! Did they catch who took your old one?0 -

Hugs. I am hoping your tummy feels a lot better!
I had that day yesterday. I ate way too many Pumpkin Spice Latte M&Ms & six Peanut Butter Poptarts.
Must. Have. These.
I'll save you! Send them to me so they are out of temptation range.
Sorry I demolished the rest of the bag that day
. Out of all the recent M&M flavors these are definitely the best.
Today before work I went to Giant & bought a lot of fallish kind of snacks like pumpkin cheesecake cookies, pumpkin spice almonds, & tons of Wild Friends peanut butter packets to try.
I've still been good & haven't bought or ate ice cream since early September.0 -

I just don't want to know!
I've decidedthat I prefer my fitbit flex. I can change the wriststrap to match my oufit but the only downside is I have already have 8 and I need at least another 20 different wriststraps. Some of them are so pretty.
That's the one thing I miss about the Flex was changing the band whenever you want.
I think it was @Glinda1971 that said there were more bands on Amazon that had different patterns.
I know I have the purple and I don't even like purple. I would love to be able to change bands!
I like purple, but blue/teal is my favorite color.
The Tory Burch bands for some of the Fitbit products are cute, but not for the money they're charging.
Ditto and ditto.
I was thinking of getting one of the Tory Burch wrap bands for "dressier" occasions, my flex band gets so grubby-looking and I still want to wear it.
I know I've mentioned it before but I absolutely heart Tory Burch so much Her perfume is my favorite!
Her boots are so cute! If I ever found a pair at TJ's they would be mine (well depending on the price tag haha).0 -

Wallow today - it's allowed. Grief doesn't ever go away, it just sort of abates for awhile to return later. Hugs to you!! Thinking of you today. Grief bacon is okay for a day or two, though, but getting back on track returns to you the control that grief can steal away. More hugs!

My father has been gone since 1991, and I STILL cry every single year on the anniversary......it never goes away, just the super hard times get further apart with time.....I am experiencing that right now with my late best girlfriend. All you can do it allow yourself some time to grieve and then think about the good times Melissa! She is still there with you! Don't ever forget that!0 -

I never forget she is with me. I see her in the mirror and I hear her voice when I talk. Like I said, I have one brother who can live with it. I actually like looking like her now, though it's disconcerting when strangers walk up and ask if I am Ginny's girl. I'll be fine tomorrow. I am feeling better now. It's just hard because even though I was following her instructions, I am the one who told them to do it. Even though she told me to, I expected one of the boys to save me from it - they always tried to save me, but in the end I had to do the hardest thing any of us have ever done.
ETA: I sincerely thank each of you for caring about my 20 year old grief. You are awesome, every one of you.0 -

Oh, dang it, I forgot to try that tonight. In my defense, I was taking "before" pictures for a six-week challenge I signed up for on bodybuilding.com. Pictures, of me, in my smallest swimsuit. And I'm going to put them on the World Wide Web where anyone can see them... (Oh my gosh, what have I done?!?)0
