Oh T I wish you felt better. Physically I am okay now. Wish you were too. Love, Biki

[oksoonergirl26]

Oh no! I hope you get better, really I do.

[bikipatra]

'Morning T. Hope you are feeling a bit better. Thinking of you.

152.5# again this morning.

Still not feeling very well, but not as sick as I was a few days ago. Getting better, just taking a long time to kick this bug.

I hope everyone is doing well.

I know what you are going through. This is the absolute PITS........ I stopped taking theraflu and just started taking Mucinex and I am feeling a little better.

Feel better my friend

[Tawanda]

Katie, I've stayed away from the meds except the Tylenol PM and the Aleve on occasion. I did not want to derail my weight loss or throw myself out of ketosis. I'm staying miserable longer because I'm just getting through on my own (or so I think). Pink eye still bugging me (amazing how long this is lasting), ears are improving (that is so nice! hearing better is good) coughing up a lung because of the constant 'tickle' feeling -- blech, now I've found a large lump under my tongue/next to my jaw. Hoping that is tied to the cold and not some new thing to deal with. Head hurts from the coughing, still going to buy stock in Kleenex (will make my millions this winter, LOL)....but I am getting better..

151.5# this morning. Slowly but surely creeping down to 147....

[bikipatra]

Oh, T...you have me worried. I wish you would get better!!! Congrats on the loss but I would rather you lose that lump! Tons of prayers going out to you. You have been ill so long. Get well soon.

Awesome T !!
You inspire us !

Thanks everyone, I'm sorry to be so absent here right now, but I do not feel well at all. I'm ready to just sit and have a huge pity party. I am getting better, but it seems to be in tiny baby steps (or inches) instead of just 'ending'. I'm feeling pretty sorry for myself, LOL. I've considered going to the doctor, but at this point (15 days with this junk), what would I say? "I have had a rotten cold that settled in my ears. It is taking forever to go away, but I am getting better slowly...and I want to feel better now." Well, he'll say "it is a virus and needs to run its course, nothing I can do to hurry it along". I know there are meds that might make me more comfortable, but I am unwilling to stall my weight loss---so I really do deserve to feel lousy if I'm unwilling to take something to help cover up the symptoms. Done with the pity party (for now anyway).

It was a rotten night (oops, guess the party wasn't quite over....).

150# is the good news. Only 3 more pounds to goal.

Hope everyone can keep their focus and get themselves solidly into ketosis, not allowing themselves to be derailed by life. Life is going to happen...bad stuff, stressful stuff......food/eating is not the answer to get through those times. We have to learn that and keep it forefront in our minds. Eating will not change the bad moments.....it will not.

T Now it is my turn to be mother Hen. GO to the DOCTORS. You could do some real damage to your ears if you have an infection.

4 more Pounds. YAY...... Your rocking it. We need pictures.
Feel Better

[oksoonergirl26]

Listen to Katie-if it is in your ears it probably an infection and it won't clear up on its own. Congrats on the weight loss.

[bikipatra]

Listen to Katie and listen to me, I have permanent hearing loss from ear infections. Take care of it!!! I love you!!!
