Katie~ I really want to encourage you to stick with the plan. You are doing so wonderfully. I can't wait to celebrate you getting into onderland and into the 60# club.

You can do it!!!!!

So I have decided to lay off the infusers for awhile.

I am not sleeping to good when I am taking them. And by 3pm I am miserable. I remeber when I was on atkins a couple of years ago, and I was taking those pills that have ephedrine in it. My husband told me I needed to get an attitude adjustment. At first I did not know what he was talking about then I felt it myself that i would be in a great mood and then all of the sudden I was just exhausted and miserable. I will be honest the first week that I took them I lost 4 and a 1/2#s. I am not saying I am going to stop taking them forever. Maybe just when I need it.

I am so tired right now, I am going to bed. Yesterday They took 6 tubes of blood. They are checking my thyroid, and they are also testing me for allergies.. Sleep well everyone.

Hey Katie,

I hope the tests come back ok and that you'll get the answers you need.

Hi Katie

How are you doing? Any news on the blood work? I hope you are feeling better.

I was tempted to try the Infusers but anything that "helps energy levels" normally keeps me from sleeping. There is nothing worse than sleep deprivation and recent research really shows the toll it takes on overall health.

Hope you are doing well. Have a Happy Easter!

Hi Katie

How are you doing? Any news on the blood work? I hope you are feeling better.

Hey Mickey Thanks for checking on me. So Last week when I went to the Dr's he said to make an appointment a week later.(which was yesterday) So I go in for my appointment at 9 and they dont see me until 9:30 And on top of that I have to pay 20.00 just to go over my blood work. So the DR comes in and tells me that none of the Blood work has come in . Let me call and see if they have any of the blood work available. The only thing they got back was for the thyroid. They said it was a little low. My problem here is that the dr said I need to come back next week and we will go over the allergy blood work. I said to him I am not paying another 20.00 to come in when I should of had all of the information. He said to me the policy is if you come into the office and talk to the dr the copay is 20.00 I basically told him to send me the results in the mail Because there was no way in heck that I am paying. And that I am going to be looking for a new dr. And in the first place I really only went in there to get blood work for my thyroid, in which they were suppose to send to my endincrinologist. I am mad

But Thank you so much for checking up on me Micks I really do appreciate it.

Hey Katie,

Hiya girl,

I am here just a little embarrassed, I have not done well on the MF front. I had been on the road none stop this week, having to go out to dinner and all, we have a couple new sales rep working for us. I have to say though, everyday I do try to get back, which is a lot better then last year, when I would go off I would just go off and stay off for like 3 months. I am trying though thats all that counts... Day 3 please hurry up and come.

[katieb920]

oh katieboo...where are you? I hope all is well lady!

Hey Bugs, How are you? You are so lucky that you are off this week. Is your son off from school? Matthew went back today. Let me tell you he was not happy about it. I can not believe how close you are to the 60# club. That is so awesome. As you have read I have not been that great on the MF front. But I am trying. Are you doing anything special this week or just hanging out.

Katie

[lifelovinaries]

:wave: katie! I was glad to see you resurface. Yup, the boy is off this week too but he has had baseball practice ALL THIS WEEK. Originally, we were scheduled to go to las vegas until we found out (early last week) that he had practice even tho they didn't have school. So, nope, nothing planned except spring cleaning and i have slowed down with that. Now that 60# club is remaining a little elusive. Every morning, i am waking up to a higher number on the scale (182.3 this morn) WTH? I know it's normal for my body midweek but to see myself .5 away from another club and watch the scale go in the opposite direction is MADDENING! THEN i thought i was gonna share a club with the wine sucking OWTO until she reported that she lost 4lbs already this week. JERK!

On to your MF struggles. Just keep with it, like you said, before you wouldn't restart for MONTHS. Just keep in mind that every meal that you can make a MF meal helps. You CAN do this, one meal at a time. Keep going girlie, you are soooo close to ONEDERLAND!

Hi Katie,
I so feel what you're going through. I am also on the road a lot...I'm training a new bonehead and I've been going crazy...I read what you posted about this time it's better than last year because you'd be off for 3 months and this time you're right back on. I totally feel you there. For the last month and a half or so, I'd start the day real well and end up at Taco Bell at night, but I think the key this time for me is that I kept getting right back on it next meal. So, this time, I didn't lose, but I only gained a couple of pounds...not too bad for being off the reservation for a month and a half like I was.

I am trying though thats all that counts...

. You got that right! We may be struggling, but we're not throwing in the towl, right? We can get through this rough patch, get our focus back and get to our goal!

I know I've only been back on for 8 days, but I just FEEL better and am kicking myself because I could be where LLA is right now and winning the compliance challenge, but...I'm holding my own and so are you!

[ChynnaDoll]

Hey Mom How are ya doing? Thanks for checking on me.

What a day. It is beautiful and sunny and around 50 degrees. But my butt is inside and I am freezing. So I was close to cheating today. So I decided I needed to get out. So I went to Sams Club, OMG I found this really cute dress there only 14.50. I usually do not wear dresses at work because I go into to many restaurant kitchens. So I usually will wear a skirt or slacks. Also I bought this in a size 14 I know it does not fit but heck for that price. I am a full 16 but I reckon I will be in that by May. Heres a picture

WOW~ How cute is that dress! You are gonna turn some heads in that one! Shopping is ALWAYS better than eating - GREAT job not giving in to the desire to cheat!
