Yeah the speed is like my colon right now...and no the salt has not kicked in, so I mean SLOW. Yesterday for a bit it was like bam you are there.

I laughed the Patron thing. Patron is an okay guy, but we Southerners are single minded, Jose is just special, I used to love him lots...now I find I can only love him once or twice a night. I can't figure that either. 20's I am skinny, 5-6-7 shots I can still throw kick butt darts. Now 2 shots and I am here honey are the keys, btw who are you????? Oh we've been married 10 years? Who knew!

if you only used 2 tsp of sea salt, i really hope it still works. I've always read to use more. Yeah, i used to be a tequila drinkin fool! Now, without drinking since october, it almost seems like a thing of the past. It's not that I miss it or anything, i never really find myself saying "i can't wait til i can have a few drinks with friends" but sometimes i do wish i could have a shot or two when I'm hangin out with friends. Oh well, nothing wrong with being the designated driver. Hey, at least when i come to georgia, the carriage driver can be the DD for the 3 of us.

Sorry you are having some sandbox issues. I would follow the Dr. and also, these gals have given some good advice as well.
I know for me, just based on my own experiences... sugar free candies can make it kick in as well.

heyyyy maisygirl...think you asked somewhere if anyone was regular before or after being on MF sompt'n like dat!..anyhoo, i remember when i first started MF, i was a all'out non-pooping candidate for about the first 4 days or so, but after that i was KOOL with it, going like maybe every other day or so..so DON'T sweat'it girl it'll be alright and you'll be pooping like'a CHAMP ..but all the advice you've gotten is RIGHT'ON too!...i'm maintaining and i'm STILL pooping on a regular basis..and ya know what?, don't take the sandbox issue for granted girl, you could LOSE about 2 pounds/per poop..GOOD LUCK! ..oh, and CONGRAT'S on being compliant!...WAY"DA GOOOO!!!

I hour my a*s....nice to know I am not the only one, and yeah I was thinking about the scale jump I am going to have! Rodeo, I can read your post! WHEHOOO.

Meanwhile I am done posting for the day...I am taking my miserable buns to bed. My hubby is getting a good laugh at this whole mess.

I'm just stopping by to introduce myself!

You're a hoot and I can tell already you're going to be a breath of fresh air on the boards!

Nice to meetcha!

As far as the doctorin'...the only thing I do is garlic pepper and sometimes I make my puddings with SF crystal light instead of water (think red velvet cake...sf crystal light & chocolate pudding!)

Sandbox issues, I also did the sw flush on the MC, but with MF I don't poop every day, but seem to have a healthy one every couple of-few days. I just up my water and sometimes put a bit of fiber sure in my liquids.

Welcome!

WAKEUP LADY!!i'm tellin ya, take yourself onto vitamin shoppe! I told you EXACTLY what to do!

[Maisy]

I did they din't have em!!!!! Ordered them online, ain't having this problem again...OH and I am awake!!!!!! I am drinking another 32 oz super jug o'nasty. On a good note I paid for express delivery...

[Maisy]

Plop Plop Flush Flush Oh what a relief it is...


I all better now, but the poor tidy bowl man has filed workman's comp....

That still is some nasty water, I feel like I should drink a few hundred margaritas to even out the salt! That also being said I would drink another 32 if I had to, so in all seriousness, anyone with the issue, quick fix is the salt water.

[queenielou]

Hey Maisy,

The salt water flush always takes a while to work for me, too. If I drink it at 8 am, I won't go until like 3 or so. Not so convenient when you're on campus and you feel a rumbling in your tummy and you know what's about to happen. But when it works, it works!

What was Erica's remedy, by the way?

Probably <img src="http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk163/jazzy-j3/koolaid.jpg" border="0" alt="kool-aid">

A product called Mag 07. Just google it and you will see lots of places with it. BTW I love the Koolaid guy!

[lifelovinaries]

LOOOOVE me some Mag-07. It did what nothing else would do. Psyllium (only worked in the beginning), teas (didn't like the addictive laxative ingredients) and Miralax (not big on meds but tried it as a last resort ~ it did nothing for me).

[Maisy]

OMG...so considering how all work out yesterday, I am thinkin' cool the scales gonna be SWEET today. HMMMMPHHHH

gain 2.6 Whatever! It had better be cause I am retaining water fom salt! Cause, I KNOW some weight left the body, ya know what I mean?! Of course it's 4:30 am, maybe that weight fairy is visiting the neighbors!

[lifelovinaries]

well the scale fairy sure wasn't at MY house! and i thought i could have lost .5 and been in the 60# club by sunday. Jeez, nothing seems to be in agreement with me right now. Think i might do a 6/0 today.

[Maisy]

Darn scale fairy is probably in Atlanta drinking wine!

Me? I am doubling the water today. I have a chart on my fridge where I write down all my water and meals, check off really, but instead of slammin' 8 I am doing 2 at a time, should have 16-8oz waters in today, flush the salt, and anything else still hanging around.

AND... I was up at like 4! I HATE NOT SLEEPING IT MAKES ME CRANKY!!!!!!!

On the good note, Day 4 and I am doing very nicely...196 to go
