Christine, your bmi is 19.6 silly. I was thinking how can her bmi be higher than mine if she's taller and weighs less. You look fabulous!

I emailed her when you told me you hadn't heard and I've not heard anything from her, either... I don't know what else to do... I have her phone # if you want to try calling... email me if you do. paula

Donna, I wish I had been able to get on the computer sooner to reassure you. I have been taking Vicadin since before surgery and they even gave it to me in the hospital. I have never had any problems with it except that it makes me constipated. I actually probably take more of it than you do because I am on a pretty high dosage for my back. Just relax and take it easy, I am sure you will be up and back to your old self before you know it. Good Luck, Christine

whine away!!! that's what we are here for - altho honestly I don't see where you've been whining at all...I hope your knee is feeling better - congrats on the 6 pound loss! I think I found them!!! - I'm teasing...I haven't gained anything but I sure haven't lost any either...(I'm working on that effective IMMEDIATELY) hope you have a great day!!! Love Linda

good morning miss donna It's funny - I think I got bored with the protein shakes and found a way to use it outside of shakes...I have been putting a scoop of vanilla in my coffee in the morning and in the afternoon - I am going to change that today. I am always trying different ways to get the scale moving - so here is today's plan ( it seems I have a different plan everyday lately) 7 a.m. - banana 8 a.m. - protein shake (just 1 scoop of chocolate protein 2/ 4 oz skim milk & 4 oz water) 9 a.m. - coffee w/ splenda and skim milk 10:30 a.m. - pear 12:30 p.m. - 2 slices of turkey breast rolled w/ 2 slices of swiss cheese and some 2% milk cheese cubes - 1/3 cup of "craisins" 3:00 p.m. - protein shake (same as above) 6:00 p.m. - dinner - most likely a tilapia filet and string beans 9:00 p.m. - protein shake w/ frozen strawberries I try not to put too much in the protein shakes - especially now that it's cold out - I will use the davinci syrups or frozen fruit and maybe 1/2 of a banana but that's about it. and I WILL get back to the gym - tomorrow! (I can't go today since I made plans with a friend to go shopping right after work) I would really like to see 20 pounds gone by Christmas...it's a goal! You've helped a lot! Thank you... Love, Linda
