    I feel like I need to eat something to soak up all the liquid in my belly. That defeats the purpose, huh? The last time I was this bloated from drinking was for my colonoscopy. Let's just say the results from this HAVE to be more fun.

    :laugh: I've never had one, but i sure hope so!!!!

    Hmm... The new scale is about 2 lbs off from the other one. Oh well, I'll deal with it. :grumble:

    When I got my digital scale, there was a 3lb difference, and not in my favor either. But, you're right. You'll deal with it. :flowerforyou:

    Whatever you do, don't pick today the day to try Nature's Pride 100% Whole Wheat, Double Fiber bread :wink:
  • Ok I am going to try and jump in to some of these conversation that I have been reading for the last three weeks since I joined the black team.
    Does your body really get used to the fiber one bars? Because I love the taste of them, but it does do some damage to the intestine for the whole day when I eat one!

    I am excited about this weeks challenge cause this is one I can do.
    Last week was a good challenge but it messed with me mentally. I realized that I haven't had the life change that I thought I had. Without the scale to be accountable I didn't eat near as well or track near as well. So even though I didn't do good on the challenge. It was a great eye opener for me to really ponder on why and what changes I have made.

    :laugh: Well, that's what "they" say. Of course, I'm not sure who "they" are. The makers of the product possibly. They're all sitting back (with gas masks) laughing their arses off.....:grumble:

    Beans- SO SO SO SO glad you are back

    Marla- the best swimmer in the world listens to Lil Wayne. I DO NOT! :noway:

    Lori- Don't over do it on the water. Ask Marla what can happen if you over do it. Don't let your bra get tight.

    I had a great day at school today. Sign Language comes so easy to me. I have been craving pizza all week so I had some. I would have had it tuesday but hubs said we didn't have time to go to my fav. place and if we could find one closer to the movies we could go there and I told him NO EFFIN WAY!!! and yes I said EFFIN and not the F word. I have a 3 year old who copies everything.

    I haven't had any water only in my iced coffee this morning. But I did drink 46oz before bed last night.

    I WANT EVERYONE TO REMEMBER YES WATER IS GOOD BUT DON'T DRINK IT SO MUCH THAT YOU ARE FLOATING AWAY!!! or your BRA doesn't fit anymore! laughing-smiley-007.gif

    I don't know if it ever gets better. I can't eat them long enough to find out. I would be divorced before that happened!laughing-smiley-007.gif

    Sam- water is good, but I was experiencing some serious bloating. I think I need to space it out better. You drank 46 oz BEFORE bed? Are you insane? I want to try to get mine in before dinner so I can sleep. I like exercise, but not when it means running to the bathroom 20 times in the middle of the night.

    Ok, I'll bite. Marla, do tell about the water.

    Sarah- nice to have you on board. I say keep eating the Fiber One bars, fiber is good for you. So many other things that are good for you create those issues too. I once ate a cup of egg beaters and a cup of broccoli in it. BIG MISTAKE. My tummy was PO'ed. Big time. It was a rough evening and my kids made me promise never to do that again. :laugh:

    I did ok. I went just before bed and then right away in the AM. I did go about 4 times while drinking it though :wink:

    I think the same thing about you night time work out people. If I don't do it in the morning, it's not likely to happen.

    I find it hard to work out if I say I am gonna do it in the evening. I have to get it done early or mine doesn't happen either. So needless to say, we went to 5 different stores this morning to get the groceries we need. WTH?? My mom can NOT go to one place and be happy with it, plus we have to go to Sams Club and buy crap in bulk. By the time we get home, it's almost 2 pm so I have too much stuff to do but get nothing done. Still have one load of clothes in the dryer. Had to help mom put everything away, even tho my bro was here and wouldn't do anything. Then after that I lost my drive to do anything. Then got my daughter and came home, ate supper, and then spent the next hour and a half making fried pies for my dad. Now I just wanna be soo lazy! Somebody come here and kick my butt into gear.
    On the plus side.....40 ounces of water down!

    Sam- I could never drink that much water and go to bed. I would spend the night in the bathroom b/c I go way toooo much when I drink water!

    Well, Lori-- I didn't earn the name SpongeMarla for nuttin'--

    I bought a 64 ounce bottle from Wal-Mart so I could "faithfully" drink my water-- so I guzzled like a blinkin' fish for a whole week--

    And gained 8 pounds--

    My body does not handle extra fluid-- :noway:

    What are fried pies?:huh:

    We took biscuits and rolled them out flat, then filled them with some pie filling, any flavor but today we did peach and strawberry pie fillings. Fold them shut and use a fork to mash the ends together. Drop them into hot grease and let them fry until brown. Then you can add powdered sugar if you want. They are really good!

    I could let myself have just one of the real thing, but a healthy version would definitely be nice.

    Well, Lori-- I didn't earn the name SpongeMarla for nuttin'--

    I bought a 64 ounce bottle from Wal-Mart so I could "faithfully" drink my water-- so I guzzled like a blinkin' fish for a whole week--

    And gained 8 pounds--

    My body does not handle extra fluid-- :noway:

    It's wrong to be laughing right now, isn't it? Sorry. Ok, now I get why Sam told you to do what you had to do for this challenge.

    Ahhh-- go ahead and laugh-- why should you be any different. :grumble:
