I had a bit of diarrhea the first two weeks if I recall....usually within 1/2 hr of taking the pill in the morning (weirdly the night one didn't bring it on) but certainly manageable and once my body got used to the meds, that disappeared. Some people apparently get weight loss on it too.. sadly I didn't get that side effect LOL. But have no side effects now.... I did see you post walking in Alaska I thought.. and commented but don't remember seeing a repy.. were you actually IN Alaska?? I am completely jealous - hope you had a fabulous time!!

Susan - I was chugging water when I read Kobiemom's comment on your profile... "it would be like spending a week in a dryer" !!!! near choked to death FROM laughing!! Hope you guys have a great trip and stick to "indoor" activities perhaps to celebrate?? wink wink nuge nudge!!

Hi all!! Been a crazy week of work and wedding blah blah blah but finally on some down time and using it to take a hard look at my lack of weight loss.

Suzy - that's awesome news.. SO proud of you an so happy - that's a fab accomplishment on the 13bs!!! i'm glad u found something that works for you in the 5:2; I can't do that with the T2 as my blood sugar levels would plummet and spike, but its great you have found what works for you!! Well done!!

milove - great to see you thanks for popping in!!

I don't think u have to worry about ater the surgery tho as keeping in mind fat loss is 80% diet and only 20% exercise.. just keep on with the program you have of eating and Im sure you will be fine!! good luck with the surgery Monday and pls let us know how you're doing!

Vail; I have heard of that diet but never looked into it. And I swear i'm a sleep eater; yes I found cookie crumbs in my bed one night. and since I sleep alone.... yup. so even nap aren't safe for me lol

Susan - hope you're not sweltering on your anniversary get away and that youre sticking with indoor activities.. ya know.. swimming....er..... whatever hahahaha..

Patrice - when is your doc app?? pls let us know how things are going at your end?



Right... without going into long and boring blathering; I have lost NO weight at all, and I have had to step back an take a look at what ive been doing. and be truthful. which frankly sucks. I've been kidding myself that I have been working "hard" at the loss and getting frustrate that nothing's happening... but a good hard look has made me admit that it hasn't been real work, more fake work. and I've been resisting the damn logging because I hate it. nd somewhere in my head I thot if I started logging again, it would mean I would have to accept that I would have to do it forever. which I don't want to do. On a recent course I was on, one of the things they talked about in dealing with stress was "if you can't change the situation, change how you think about it"... there was a lot more but tht phrase wtuck with me and I realized I can use it for my weight loss too. in that if logging is what works for now, then see it as a tool an use it. nothing says I gotta do it forever, but if it works for what I need now.. then so be it. So... im changing my thinking about logging, AND about the fat that I want to lose. Getting back into remembering why I wanted to lose it in the first place. So moving onwards an upwards from today and getting back into focusing on what I want for myself.

Ok, so it was a little blathering LOL.

good to see people posting again btw..
