Biki, I love your "new" ticker.

I love bread, too. I just focused on the catfish and green beans - they were yummy

Long , beautiful, sunny day.

I'm not happy with my results for this first month. Staying compliant and drinking a gallon of water doesn't seem to be working for me. Hopefully, next week the doctor will tweak my plan and it will work better.

The test showing a change in kidney function shook us all up a bit. I mean I was taught all my life to take extreme care of my kidney, after all it's the only one I have. Most likely I'll just have to add the extra grain back into my L&G, in fact I anticipated that at lunch today. The good news is I get to have a slice of bread! No ketosis for me.

I know other people have medical issues other than the weight ones and are doing well on the plan. I hope I can continue at least with a modified version. Perhaps if I add exercise it will speed things up a bit.

There were some great posts at roll call today. Congratulations to all.

Oh, I hope everything works out for you! You are in my prayers!

[JonnaD]

Thanks, Biki.

We had lunch at Quizno's yesterday and I had a salad which came with flat bread. Not the tastiest bread, but I ate part of it anyway. It might be what I need because my peeing quotient went up and I've dropped .2 # overnight. Not a lot, but more than what was happening.

Seems like the doc was right to add that extra grain with my L&G. We'll see if the trend continues.

Went in for my tests today. I'm up to a little over a gallon of water per day, I hope they don't tell me I need to drink more.

Weighed in on their scale and I've lost 10# since beginning the program. At last, I qualify for a club

I'm really tired today, tried to get too much in in too little time. Got a late start on my water and my supps Worked at it and got caught up.

The house is quiet and I'm ready to head back to bed. Sweet dreams, y'all.

Congratulations on the 10# club!! You have some challenges in losing the weight, but you are sticking to it---be proud of your accomplishments and your determination!

[bikipatra]

Good going on the 10# club. Guess that fairy likes you!

[JonnaD]

Thanks, Guys. I think the fairy has finally found my address!

I'm kinda nervous about my test yesterday. I had two very busy days in I wasn't as on top of my water as I need to be. I also forgot my morning dose of my beta blocker and by afternoon I was really bushed But this morning I've finished 1-1/2 bottles (each one is 23.7 ounces) so I'm doing better. Still tired, but bouncing back.

I have a couple of job prospects lined up, so that should give me something to focus on besides the scale

[DonicaB]

Congratulations Jonna on the 10# club.

I hope the job prospects work out (well at least 1 of them hehe).

I agree with Tawanda......you may have some added challenges, but I love your determination. You're doing great!!!!

Thanks, Donica.

[JonnaD]

Still don't have my test results from yesterday. I guess I'll call them tomorrow.

Finally feel like I'm recuperating from my screw-up yesterday. Felt a little better with each meal, but still took two naps. And I'll probably go to bed early.

Hope everyone has a good night's rest and the fairy visits each and everyone of you (us).

Here's my nightly check-in

Good news, my test from Tuesday "shows slight improvement." So I'm to keep up the gallon plus of water and the extra carbs. The funny thing was, I didn't drop any weight until I'd added the carbs back in. Apparently with the change in kidney function, I was retaining more fluid. Looks like the doc was right when she prescribed the extra carbs from the beginning. I guess I need to listen to her.

Had a good evening, my Thursday writers' group reviewed the first few chapters of my novel and told me it is definitely worth completing. They want to see more next week, so I've got to get busy.

It's late, I'm tired, so I'm turning in. Good night, y'all and sweet dreams. May the MF fairy be liberal in her dusting tonight.

[JonnaD]

Just checking in. Had a nice day - visited with friends, played with our phones, played dominoes. Her DH and I beat my DH and her

Spent the last couple of ours working on my website (I co-own with another friend.) She's having a workshop and I needed to add some links for people to read about it. It's funny how quickly time passes when I start in on one of these web projects - next thing I know it's time for another supp.

It's rather chilly down here, went from a sunny low seventies yesterday to a high of 40 today with rain. In fact, we had sleet early this afternoon. I still remember being told in school that we live in a semi-tropical zone - it didn't feel like it today.br-r-r

Time to sign off - I won't be doing my weigh-in until Tuesday so I can weigh on the doctor's scale. It's so much simpler for me that way.

'Nite all, sweet dreams with lots of MF fairy dust.

Can you believe it - we're getting sleet in Austin! It's crazy!

How long did it take you to get to the 10lbs lost weight club? Can it be done in a month? I guess I'm taking your slogan to heart - I want to be thin and I want it now!!

Do you own an online business?
