Ive lost 55 pounds and drink loads of coffee.

Thank you.

Because there is no harsher critic than yourself. I have lost 45lbs and still get that but the scales dont lie. I am a much smaller waist and can fit into much smaller clothes. Keep going and one day you will just see it.

Damn mine is broccoli. Not very rock'n'roll that, is it?

Thank you. And you are right, it really is great.

So if you had said you were doing speed, she would have done it too? Thats crazy!!!

Ah thanks guys. I feel great, and having people tell you that you look great is amazing. What a fantastic community this is.

Ah ok. We use diorolyte in the uk. Any fluids are good. Ice lolly, jelly (jello I believe you call it), yoghurts. Also try some paracetamol as she may have a sore throat or mild fever which would not help her.

What is pedialite? Is it a rehydration solution.

Spot on! Gold star to you.

Actually it's bait of a misconception about the fontanelle (soft spots). Only ithe later part of severe dehydration do they sink, as the body absorbs water frothe spinal fluid. Skin turgor (pinch test) is also a late stage as is no tears. In fact I can honestly say that if she has any of them then get her to a hospital.

Hi, I think I can help here. I am in the uk but am a paediatric nurse (yes a man) and I am a little concerned. She needs to have at least half of her normal fluid. Has she had a wet nappy? She should. That's the first thing to stop. She sounds fairly dry to me. Lack of energy, refusing fluid, lost weight. Also she has lost…

Yeah I'm in. Come on guys.
