@GirlOnTheRebound Sheesh! You are having a tough week! I hope you get to feeling better soon! I used to get migraines as a young person but they went away when I was about 25, I think. Thank goodness, because I remember them being extremely debilitating! Hopefully when you wake up today you are feeling super-duper awesome!…

@tishawj This part made me laugh! My dog does the same. I have never had a dog do this before! He just kind of stares at me and goes "grrrrrr". It cracks me up! :)

@renapink11 So... did ya... "you know" yet? LOL! I'm just wondering if your weight will come down when you do! :P Also - the part about looking back at your journal and noticing that you were higher in carbs and that your weight loss slowed down - good for you for doing the work! The "noticing" is the important part! I'm…

@jedaschultz I just wanted to say that I really feel for you. Your last post is heartbreaking. I cannot imagine. Please hang in there. <3

@shmmm3 Dude, you do NOT want to have a kidney stone. 10/10 would not recommend. :( I was told to drink more water... which I am super bad at. (My sister has always referred to me as a camel, even when I was a kid.)

@caitlinnf84 WOW! So many good recommendations in your posts! I have to start taking notes! Lol. I need to Google: "Shrinking", protein shake/pudding, Supreme Cauliflower Crust pizza from Costco, and Dave's Killer Bread! I live in Canada, maybe we don't even have all this stuff!! Lol!! Thanks for offering us these…

@flutterlosses Hi! I have been following along with your progress and I just wanted to congratulate you on how well you are doing! Remember to be patient with the process! It is so annoyingly slow (I get it!) but if you can just hang in there and keep trying again and again (even after the days you mess up, which is…

@39flavours Hi honey, I am sorry I am behind on answering your notes to me. I am so thankful that you do write them and I feel bad that I don't always have time to reply! (The dog takes up a lot of my time!) I saw your note about mental health treatment in the UK. I'm sorry that you are having to deal with this without…

@deepwoodslady I hope you get to feeling better soon, Donna. I am sure you already know this but I eat a lot of pickles when my BP goes low. Hang in there and keep posting. <3

@deepwoodslady HAHA! Here in Ontario it seems to be around $20,000, but I didn't really get a good idea of what that includes. (IE, a butt lift, etc.?) I did send a request for a consult so I'll keep ya posted. ;)

Good morning everyone! Happy New Challenge Day!! :) I am sorry I didn't participate very much in the last challenge - even though people were leaving comments specifically for me and saying such encouraging things!! I have been feeling a bit off - I will try to be more supportive to everyone this round. Let's do…

@LisaPower123 Oh, thanks - I did not mean to sound critical, I was just offering a suggestion. I actually kept writing messages to you and then deleting them. Lol. I know what you mean about weightloss being "a game" -- my hubby calls MFP and Fitbit my "games" and says I need to get new games... Haha! :)

To be clear, I was not criticizing the person who was writing about going to the gym while fasting. She had not indicated in her original post that she was fasting intentionally and that she took supplements etc. and that she knew what she was doing. She had only indicated that she is trying to lose weight in time to…

@LisaPower123 Oh dear, no, it was not my intent to make you feel like you should leave the group. :( Sorry about that, please stay and express yourself however you feel best. I truly know NOTHING about fasting as a purposeful tool. And your post did not trigger me except to worry that you might be struggling. If you know…

@LisaPower123 Hey, real talk: I hope when you say "go to the gym" you are not talking about lifting weights with no calories in your system, because I feel like that would be very hard on your body. There is no way for me to say this without sounding judgmental, but I feel like your approach (fasting until you reach a…

@refactored WOW!!!! SUPER AWESOME IDEA!!! Thanks for sharing that, I am totally going to do that, too!!! :)

@renapink11 - Thanks so much for sharing this! Lucky for me I am going to see my psychiatrist on Thursday so I am definitely going to ask about this! Thanks again! (And yes, we are basically the same person.) :wink:
