Shanel_Troia

For awhile I had been doing good. I lost 10 pounds in Feb. Then in March my Grandmother passed away. It has been very hard for me to deal with. At the end of March I lost 6 pounds. I know that is still alot but my goal is to lose about 8 to 10 pounds a month. I have or had 200 pounds to lose. I am off to a good start, but…

Thank you all so much for your thoughts. I haven't taken the vitamin's since that first day. I have not been feeling well. You just have to love having kids. I have the flu. I Don't think that is why I got sick with the vitamin though. I think it was because I didn't eat yet that day. After I begin to feel better, I am…

I am feeling better. I haven't eaten anything too heavy in case I was to get sick again. It hurts too much! lol This is only the second day with the vitamin and come to think of it I felt kinds yucky the first time I took it also. My mother in law suggested that maybe my body wasn't used to it. The last time I really…

Ok, let me say, yes I am talking about water pills. I just got off my period and the blouting is crazy. It's not something I have done in the past or will cont to do unless I feel this way again after a period. It has been almost a year for me without a period. Today is the second day with the vitamin and the water pill. I…

I just made the appointment and cannot get in until March 7th.:grumble: I hate feeling like I can't eat or drink anything. I feel ill everytime I drink water. That is the only thing I dink now a days. Can anyone give some suggestions to making water taste better with out adding calories? I hate water and I try to drink as…

I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. I went to wake up my son to get ready for school and found him with a temp of 104.4. I gave him some medicine and sent him back to bed. I went back into my room and was going to lay back down after I took me vitamin and water pill. I only put 8oz of water in a cup say per the…

That is a good loss. I just weigh in everyday unless it is a little more than the day before. I don't add it to the site until the weekend or following Monday. So far I have lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks. Alot of it was water weigh from my period. WTG and good job!

Thank you all for your kind words. My kids are the ages of 4 and 9. My daughter who is 4 speaks without thinking as must kids do. I am worried that if she doesn't pass after a few days my daughter will say well why aren't you dead yet. I have talked to my son who is 9 a little bit. I told him that Grandma (his great…

Thank you all for the comments they made me laugh and really think about what I said....now I feel really dumb.:laugh: As for eating habits for this bout with the heart burn all I had was a glass of water, a special k bar and a yogurt for breakfast. So I am not thinking it is from eating. I dont use salt or pepper or…

:cry: I just found out last night that the doctors sent my Grandmother home to die. They don't know how long it will but her time is short. Let me back up. Last weekend my Grandma was put into the hospital. I being an EMT knew she was going and helped put her in the Ambulance. I went up to see her with my daughter a few…

OK this past week I have heartburn most if not all day. Normally I don't do anything about it just get a cup of ice cold water and within a few minutes it goes away then comes back later. Last night I went to the store and picked up a bottle of Antacid tablets. I didn't look at the back of the bottle, for the first time…

I bought a twist board made by everlast from my gym a few weeks ago. I try to do it on and off a few times a day. I am wondering if anyone knows how many calories if any it burns. I know that it works your abs, slims hips and thighs, improves balance, and it strengthens back and calves. I looked at all the directions and…

OK, first let me say thank you for the comments. I dont look at the pills as the only reason I lost weight. I know that by not drinking soda every 5 minutes like I was before and not caring about what I ate and eating a 1700 calorie diet is the main reason I lost the 7 pounds. Alot has to do with not having a period for…

Beside going to Curves, and eating a 1700 calorie diet, I am taking a water pill for the fluid build up from not having my period, and I bought Slimquick with Hoodia.

I just got home from shopping and I went ahead and bought another scale that went up to 350 pounds. I took it out of the box, put the batteries in it, turned it on, and stepped on it while I held my breath. It came up with 345 pounds!:happy: I have lost 7 pounds since Jan 30th. I am so excited that I called everyone that I…

Thanks I will have to go and look at it again!:flowerforyou:

I have just started watching my calorie intake. Let me go back and give some back ground first. I am 5 ft 7 in I started working out at curves in October of 2007. I didnt change anything just working out 3 days a week. Every month I lost a few inches and a few pounds, I started out at 359 pounds and when I went last month…
