Oooooh, I can't stand Austin. Bad times there. Also, they don't have a Neiman Marcus. I'm a Dallas girl.

Well I have officially caught the insomnia bug from T. Just kidding. Not your fault. I truly believe it is my body reacting to the lack of sugar and carbs and their sedating effect. I had been putting myself to sleep with ice cream many nights. I have been 100% compliant though. But need some real sleep for the scale to go down. Not just tossing and turning... going to have some more water -I'm thirsty-and get back in bed.

I thought I had posted a reply before my brother walked in and I closed AOL out..oh well. I just wanted to day hi and see how it was going. Hey...Real WOrld DC is on now, and Real Housewives, too. Maybe you can liven up your town a little by hopping on TV!! Hope everything goes well and sleep finds you.

So, was Friday day 1?? I thought so, but wasn't sure.

So, was Friday day 1?? I thought so, but wasn't sure.

Yes. But I just happened to lose over 3 pounds the morning I started Medifast by cutting back my food intake. I have a friend who lives just down the street from the Real World house. And yes, I was deeply saddened not to be selected for Real Housewives. sniff. sniff. Sleep has now officially ended at 4:05am.

Day 2:222. Down 1.4 pounds from yesterday. Don't cry for me Argentina because I didn't expect a big drop since I lost 3.4 lbs yesterday kind of by accident. So that was probably my big water drop. I'm so tired. Was up and down all night. Glad to see the board is a bit more active! I love the camraderie and support. Going to try to stay away from the bouillon today to see if the salt was making me retain water. I'll only have some if I get leg cramps. Gee, who ever thought celery with a splash of Tabasco could taste so good? Have a great day everyone!!!

Biki is taking a nap...not hungry just tired.

[katieb920]

Wow I would of loved to see you in House Wives of DC.

Have a great day.

[bikipatra]

I didn't really sleep during my nap, just kind of zoned out. Brain fog...hope I can sleep tonight. So let's do a roll call tomorrow! I'll only have three days but I always looked forward to roll call.

Day 3: 222.2 Not too jazzed about the .2 upwards flux but alas that is what I get for being a daily weigher. I love my scale though and like keeping a daily log. Didn't get lots of water in yesterday because i was asleep. Seem to be coming down with a cold. Nothing major.

[katieb920]

Hope you feel better. and drink lots of water....

I didn't realize there wasn't a Neimans in Austin, I am so used to having the three that are so accessible here. I buy Chantecaille make-up and they are the only the store other than Bergdorf's that carries it. Plus I have to go there every now and then and try on my Louboutins that will come home with me someday !

Hey Biki, you are doing great! I hope the cold isn't a bad one.

[bikipatra]

Hey Biki, you are doing great! I hope the cold isn't a bad one.

Thanks T. I am feeling okay, I guess. Resting lots.

Hey there Biki-girl!! I've been wondering about you for so long! There have been several times I logged on to see if you had posted anything but no word from you. While I am overjoyed to finally hear from you, I hate the circumstances that have brought you back here!

I'm SOooo sorry to hear about everything you have been through! And that you have gained most of the weight back. But I'm here to 'get back on the wagon' with you!! I've had a really bad 2 years and gained back most of my weight too. Last weigh in I was 15lbs from having gained it all....I've refused to get back on the scale since then so who knows what it is now! I have a lunch date Tuesday with an old friend I haven't seen in 20 years and the day after that I'm starting medifast.

After our meet-up in D.C. Feb. '07 I went home to find my computer had crashed. Every time I tried to post something on hubby's laptop I would get the dreaded 'error' message and completely lose everything I had typed! After a while I just gave up. About the time my computer was fixed (finally! took 2 months!) we had started renovations on our house to get it ready to sell. That was the start of the weight gain but it really got out of control when my dad went in the hospital in July '08 and passed away that Sept on the 24th. I won't go into the long story but I will say that I am totally disgusted with myself and ready to do something about it!

Remember our shopping foray into Victoria's Secret...how good we were feeling about ourselves? Well let's get back there! We can be diet buddies and help each other to be strong. I think once we reach our goals we need to have another meet-up... either in D.C. or Dallas! (By the way, I was just in Dallas Friday and the Sunday before Christmas!) Or...we can meet in both places! I would LOVE to visit D.C. again!!
