This is more of annoyance of mine, but Quest bars seem so good and then I find out half their bars are made with Sucralose! Splenda people! Splenda. . .YUCK. I am so disappointed because I though their bars would be healthier. I will admit it tasted good, but still, not thrilled about it.

Thank You, hugs to you too.

I found out that my son lied about his status in college.
My breaks started grinding yesterday.
My fathers car broke down today.

Liz-

to everyone struggling

This isn't as much of a whine as it is a vent, I am nervous and scared about my upcoming surgery on Tuesday, I have a lot of anxieties with that. Also, I just moved a few weeks ago so I am getting used to that. There's a lot going on and I am trying to hold on.

I will 'whine' about this though, I have no respect for so called professionals who cancel on short notice, do it repeatedly and have no one to cover them. The world doesn't stop for others, it keeps going.

Sigh, thank you for listening.

Today I learned that a 1 credit lab is going to be my most challenging course of the semester...for exams they expect me to be able to identify every single portion of a rat's anatomy and spell out everything correctly in under 20 min...I'm debating withdrawing right now...but I'll still have to take it eventually. Imma' go nuts

My doctor totally insulted me today, without even trying, and without malice. He's been my doctor since I was kneehigh to a grasshopper and when I went to see him today he was enthusiastically telling me about his recent trip with his wife to do a rim-to-rim through the Grand Canyon. And in all seriousness he said to me, "If you ever get a chance to see the North Rim, do it! In your condition you should take 2 or 3 books, get a drink with an umbrella sticking up out of it, sit on the patio and just look up at the view every now and then." And I know for a fact he didn't even think how that sounded. But hello- I hike all the time. I go up mountains often. What would prevent me from even attempting the Grand Canyon is the daytime heat, not my physical condition.

I know I'm pregnant and all but I'm so effing TIRED of being hungry.

There. I said it.

I got so excited because this morning I got on the scale and it showed 97 kgs (down 3 kgs from when I started dieting about 12 days ago), and then I ate and by the end of the day it showed 98.5

I am completely shocked, I was going to undergo a medical procedure but according to two pharmacists who I put a lot of trust into, and my online research, this procedure is not safe because of a vitamin that I have been taking recently. The doctor's office who I was seeing was bullying me into this procedure despite the risks, what a bunch of @$$ es!

It really irks me when so called professionals laugh when getting off of the phone, I take things seriously but I guess some people just aren't very savvy. Weird...

Half of them aren't, ingredients are published online.

Rant: I have 152652583453 things to do, all of which are completely reliant on other people getting back to me.

I slept a full 12 hours last night! Perhaps that's really nothing to complain about but yesterday was extraordinarily draining and I got extremely emotional over the most insignificant things. Once I got home I couldn't even sit up through one whole episode of a favorite show and ended up going to bed without dinner.

aah how I glad I am to see this thread today. Just wanna vent cos I am sorta stuck with the weight loss.. I want to get into ONEderland by this month end, it's a big mini goal and I am afraid I wont be able to achieve it. The only thing I am losing is hair.. a lotttttttt of it and it might be cos of the diet change?! I dunno.. I dont wanna stress over it. my bf bought me a groupon for fitness classes and I am so glad he is sooooo soooo supportive, had it not been for him I dont think I would be where I am today.. (so being grateful here, not hateful) and it also sucks that I cant access this website from work these days, I feel I am losing track and I can't keep myself motivated enough since I am lacking the daily support that has been so critical to my weight loss journey so far !! I am exactly halfway done... but I still have halfway to go!!! So come onnnnnnnnnnnnn scale...... move move move!

You might want to have your thyroid checked. Hair loss is one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism. A dietary change can make it worse, especially low carb.

Dear time of the month,

I've lost 8lbs since I saw you last, you've been here two days and I've gained 2lbs back. Please take that extra baggage with you when you leave, I don't want it hanging around when I go in for job testing on Monday.

Signed,

The person who really doesn't enjoy having you around
