Thank you Grace!!!
Victoria is doing much better. Still taking antibiotic but better. She had a fever and it went up even more by the time I got to the Drs. Her white blood count was 25 (normal is 11) so they sent her to the Hospital. X-rays, Catheters, Blood work, Cultures, Spinal Tap, more bloodwork....and a whole lot of stress it went from "She has a Pneumonia and UTI" to "she only has UTI". The last day they wanted to continue probing her and I asked them to have the head of radiology just take a look for a 4th opinion about the Pneumonia since she never showed any signs...well I was correct. No Pneumonia! Soooooo, now that my muscle spasms, impaired vision, stiff neck, and hair falling out is almost over (form the stress) I'm ready to jump on the wagon...again!
But yes, it's a scary thing!
I hope your baby is doing well. Victoria is my 3rd (I have a 5 & 3yr at home) and they were also acting up but because I was not home. Sooooo, yeah....
Oh my word, she got a spinal tap, catheters? So much stress. I would have eaten everything in sight.
So glad to hear she is doing better. Maybe you can go get a nice massage!
Our son is just fine... it was just a major scare. We have a 3 year old daughter too, her behavior just plummets when neither hubs nor I are home.
Hope you have a great week/weekend and lots of weightloss!
morning ladies, It's my 3rd day on this bead diet and weighing myself per the log recommendations I'm already down 8 pounds since I started on tuesday. Is this the norm or mainly water weight I just dropped for now?

its the norm for men. When do they say you should weigh yourself?
Ok, so tomorrow I'll officially start a milk day...I think I just worked myself to be in the zone again. You would think because of all the stress I would have lost weight...
Kerri, give me an update of what I missed with you? How was it last week for you? and Easter? Any new dishes?
did you start again? How is it without the beads.
I am finishing up vegetable day 2... on to milk friday and saturday (as usual).. i seem to end up with milk on the weekend. At least Sunday I can eat. Got to find a new vegetable dish LOL....
I went off diet last night. We had a special dinner with friends that I couldn't miss and couldn't eat normally. I remembered some of you saying that even having a few little cheats caused you to gain weight, and that you sort of wished you'd just eaten whatever.
So..... i did!
Granted, it wasn't that much food or that high in calories. When I weighed myself this morning, I was only up 2-3 lbs. Not nearly as bad as I expected. Two more milk days for me and then two veggie days.
Side note: I went to the mall to look at bathing suits this morning. That was JUST the scare tactic I needed!!
LOL bikinis and those awful changing room mirrors never lie
My 11 week old was in the hospital almost a whole week. Needless to say I ate in the Hospital's Cafeteria, had Starbucks 3x a day and from the stress I ate like there was no tomorrow. I gained weight and now I have not had time to go get new beads but here I am...I need to get back on and fast!
I'm thinking of doing the diet without the beads until next Thurs...since that's the only day that I might be able to go and have them replaced.
Welcome back!
Sorry about your baby, hope he's doing better!
I'm finally back to pre-easter weight. I stuck a veggie day in there and then 2 milk days. thanks for the tip.
this diet is weird.. I had two days of veggies and went up? why does that happen? I am sure when I have a day of milk it will go back down --its weird.. So what happens when we are totally off this?
Good Morning All! I could definatley use some help here! I just ordered the beads, then canceled the order, the re ordered! I am feeling like a mess! I read the entire thread and said this sounds great and ordered!! Then I thought about it - i have not stuck to any plan which really drives me crazy so what makes me think I can stick to this? I am very nervous! I spoke with a woman from accuweight who calmed me a bit so I decided to go ahead with the plan. In reality I have the same wish as others - wish weight did not upset me so much and wish I did not go for these drastic plans - hcg, fasting,now beads, but I do! I actually like the food plan but dh and I go out to dinner every Friday - its our thing - we really enjoy and need the time together. I dont have to go hog wild - a salad and a glass of wine will get me through the evening but I know it is off protocol. I also just started running and I did not want to see my efforts wasted. The woman from accuweight told me I could still run and that as the weight comes off running will be easier. I would like to lose 40 pounds. She told me in 6-8 weeks I could lose between 20-30 pounds. Did anyone else have a "buyers remorse" moment? Thanks for any help!!!
MJ - My daughter had chronic UTI's when she was 5-12 years old. I am happy to tell you what finally helped her - just let me know if you want more info

good luck! The dinner and wine will set you back every week for days. I would reconsider it.
