Topic: Shopping Trip
Today I had to go shopping because my 20th high school reunion is tomorrow. So imagine my surprise when I didn't have to go to Dress Barn Woman, just Dress Barn and the pants I tried on were a .......14. I was so shocked, not needing a 14W or a 16W. At first I was afraid b/c I didn't think that my clothing size had changed so and I didn't think the 14 would fit, so I tried a 16 first and it was TOO BIG. It was definitely a good experience for me and I just had to share

Topic: RE: Does anyone dump from . . .
Hi Sandy. I just want to let you know that I, too, dump from fish--any kind of white fish. I have no problem with shrimp(always goes down great, so when I'm not up to par I eat shrimp),scallops, lobster and salmon or tuna. It doesn't matter what kind of white fish-tilapia,cod, flounder, or how I cook-bake,broil or grill, I get sick. go figure--One of the healthier foods. And I can eat steak like theres no tomorrow.

Also, when you're constipated you tend to retain water at the same time. So you might also have some water weight that will drop as soon as things are 'moving!!!!!'

Oh, Susan!
Another thing about iron. Don't take it with milk, either---same thing as spacing it out with the calcium. Iron will absorb better with vitamin C--or a little juice, if you can tolerate it!
To better health!

Stool softners are just that--softners. Make sure you read the label. It shouldn't say, "stool softner with a mild stimulant". I made that mistake ONCE..cramping, cramping, cramping...What you are looking for is docusate sodium 100 mg. I know a person who posts that she takes 2 with every meal. It is okay to take these as you need--but as always, run it past your doctor first!!!

Oh Amanda
That is one terrific guy you have there. He is so proud of you! When you get to take those pictures I would love to see them! This April we will be married 25 years and I am hoping I will get a nice piece of bling...but, like my husband says--if you expect it--it never comes! So I am NOT and hoping I WILL! You should put this special story on your profile page!
