It's true that you don't need to exercise, but not exercising has its drawbacks. You lose a lot more muscle than you want to if you don't exercise. You can still look flabby when you get done even though you've reached your goal. weight The simple explanation is that muscle improves your metabolic rate and your body…

I'm a bit confused about the Canadian bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. Is it the same thing as the Canadian bacon and egg biscuit or are they 2 separate items? I have 6 Canadian bacon and egg on my order and there is no indication that there is a short supply or they were discontinued. The omelet isn't bad, so I guess I'll…

Thanks Roger, The doctor doesn't want to do the shots any more often than 6 weeks. This time 7 weeks (doc on vacation). Every time I get them I feel like a normal person and forget how I feel when they wear off. Now everything hurts and I have trouble sleeping and no energy. Right now the expense of all the medical things…

Hi Amanda, I've been away from the forum for a few days too. Just busy with other things. Hope we are both over our disaster weeks. My birthday was yesterday and my husband took me out to dinner and I really went off plan. Back on it today, but over the past two weeks I've put on 5 pounds. Most all of it is water weight.…

Thanks Roger. I actually gained 2 pounds but I think it was probably all the sodium in the laxative. After all, I was on a liquid diet for one day and pigged out the next which probably evens out. The calories I ate while "pigging out" probably were about equal to maintenance calories, but a lot more than I usually eat.…

Well, today was a disaster. I had a procedure done for hemorrhoids. Of course I had to do liquid only and laxatives and enemas and was dehydrated and empty. Had the procedure done this morning and ever since I've been eating everything in sight. I think I've finally had enough. Had surgery on my arm on Tuesday too - had…

Amanda, what plan are you on? Perhaps you need to go down a few more calories since you're not able to do a lot of physical activity. If I remember correctly, you were on 1800 calories. Maybe you need to go to 1600 or even 1400. Have you gotten your thyroid checked? I know you were talking about getting that done. June

I have periods when I lost 5-6 pounds in 7 to 10 days and then no loss at all for weeks, maybe gain a pound or two and then lose it and go up and down and then suddenly another 5-6 pounds. The staying the same and the fluctuations are frustrating.

Hello, anyone here? Just wanted to update. This morning's weigh in was 167 pounds. I feel like I'm on the home stretch. How are the rest of you doing?

Probably true, when I checked a while ago over 300 people reading.

Thanks for starting the thread. I checked this morning and the discussion boards are still up and running at NS. There are 250 people on line there - 81 members and 169 guests. I don't know what the usual count is at 7:30 in the morning, but that's quite a few for early in the morning. I think NS is doing themselves a…

Hello. Hope the others joint this thread. June
