Ain't it great to be noticed and in a complimentary way too. Someone I love very much recently went to Ocean City with friends and was walking on the boardwalk eating a slice of pizza when a cute guy walked up to her and smiled and leaned closer toward her and then shouted in her face " LOSE SOME WEIGHT" !! It made me so sad for her. We all remember when the main way we used to be noticed was ...well, not positive. or even worse...not noticed at all Candy, we celebrate with you! Mary

Me too. I caneat a whole can of tuna on salad greens. Good way to get the protien in. Andrea

I've had a hard time getting much of anything in. Everytime I eat my abdomen starts spasming which makes my back start spasming and i'm in incredible pain. In the last 1-1/2 hours I've taken a Vicodin, Flexeril, and a Dilaudid - and I'm still in a little bit of pain. It's unreal. B: banana L: corn on the cob S: about 5 Wheat Thin Crisps - veggie flavor D: about 6 nachos I probably won't eat anything else today. This is about the amount I've been eating for the last 2 weeks - if even that much. It just hurts. I've usually gotten in a protein drink most days though, but I'm out of my soy milk. I may mix some protein up in a cup of coffee later, though. Michelle

You taking B complex (aka B50) or B100s? Insulin resistance, eh? I know I've got something. Some type of white carb toleration issue. I'm the only one I know that can gain 7 lbs in 2-3 weeks from 100 extra cals a day. Half of those cals from white flour, I think. My body completely hate it. (These are the Power Crunch bars.) Last one I had was a week ago Friday and I'm down 5 lbs of it. I wish I knew physiologically what was happening, ya know? Wonder if it is a wheat or gluten allergy. Yes, tomorrow is indeed a new day and we can start all over and chose how we tackle the day. Enjoy your dinner. I'll be shrimping soon. LOL! K

WTF is up with your lab results? They send 'em to another city/county/state/country for processing or what? What day did you have 'em done, Wednesday? If so, I guess 2 days isn't that long though I'm sure it feels like forever when you are looking for answers to why you feel so bad. Hugs, sweetie. Rich is working til 8 pm. I'm busily doing chores and watching trash TV. I bought some shrimp at Costco. Had some last night. Will have 'em again tonight. So shrimp, lemon, ****tail sauce is my dinner. Last night, I had a box of green beans first and ate 5 shrimp and ached like a bandit so tonight I'll stick with the protein. LOL! Breakfast was about 1/2 to 3/4 of an omelette and two strips bacon. 1/2 of what I ate was an onion, shroom, bacon, cheddar omelette. The other half... was a western omelette. Lunch was out too. We had chinese food from the self-serve asian buffet at Wegmans. I just take the meat that isn't breaded or coated and some vegies. Had some Thai chicken, chicken w/ broccoli, beef w/ snow peas, etc. Just a few bites of each. It makes for a great cheap date. $10 feeds both of us. They have nice tables, chairs, sofas to sit and eat at. Snacks: 1 oz peanuts, 2 slices provolone, protein shake. Dinner: Shrimpies! Snack: Protein shake Will be low on protein shakes today. Usually do 3-4 a day. Take care, Kathy
