Now for the Skinny cow Ice cream... I have writen it down that I have had them as Free Exchange before but no one said No to eating them. Humm I'll ask tomorrow at my center !

tylenol...ibuprofen?
 

ok ladies I have a question... has anyone taken any pain killers while on HM?
I read in a thread somewhere??? that you werent supposed to take ibuprofen with the pills, that they conflict but that the lady's consultant had told her they were fine. So last night I had a doozy of a headache. I took 2 xstrength tylenol about an hr before my pills. Not only did my headache get worse about 1.5 hrs later but I started to feel really weak and shaky...just not myself at all. I got kind of scared. Im going to ask my lady this am but I think Ill also stop at the pharmacy and ask the pharmacist as well. Anyone have any comments?

Im finally back out of the 90's again grrr as if im exactly where I was last week...damn brownies lol:dizzy:

mmmmm those popcorn recipes look yummy Christina ...thank you for sharing:D

http://www.3fatchicks.net/img/bar-ch...145/189.2/.png

For ever 5 lbs lost :belly:

ok so I went and saw the pharmacist before my weigh in. She told me that one of the ingredients in the WM is processed through the liver the same as tylenol. If your liver is feeling overloaded and then you take the tylenol you will feel sick. She told me she thinks my headaches are from low blood sugar and if I feel one coming on to eat an apple as it has a low glycemic index...wont make your insulin spike. I told them at HM and they told me not to add another piece of fruit to just half one of them. Meh we will see. Anyway just wanted to give you the scoop.
The pharmacist also said tylenol is about all u should take for pain med as it rarely contradicts with anything.

p.s. Im 5 inches down woohoo:carrot:

For every 5 lbs lost :belly:

ok....143.5....goin' down again...YAY!.....but another function this weekend! ugg! anyways....gonna enjoy it and then i know i'm on strict for a few more weeks (about 5) until the next event...

a few good inches off as well...got my "friend" today...why we all call it our "friend" i don't know....but hopefully now i'll see some more pile off bc no more bloat...:)

evening ladies...

My dr said she's gonna referr me to a surgeon and be put on a list for surgery.

My gal stones keep blocking my tube, they wont put me on top of the list because i dont have attacks alot..I said well probably because I stay away from the foods that cause it.

Were going away for the week-end, were leaving early friday am and be back either sunday or monday.I have to eat sooo good to make sure I dont gain.

Well better go and ttyt :hug:

Isabel :carrot:

I took advil this week as my TOM symptoms were KILLING me!!!! All went fine and helped me through my day.

My turn for a question. In the restaurant guide, we are allowed a hot chicken at Scores !?!?!??!?! This has to be a mistake!!! Sauce and all...makes no sense to me. What do you think?

Getting closer to my 30 pounds down. Yaye me!!!

New girl from the office (very young summer temp) asked if it was true that I had lost over 25 pounds today so I acknowledged. Then she says, you must of been really big!!! Ummmmmmm not too sure how to take that one yet haha!!

Congrats losers!!!! Proud of you all xo

itsgreat... Ya I dont think I would of taken that too well neither. Some people just dont think before they open their mouths I tell ya.

Going away for the week-end to a blue jays game woohooo first time for me and then might watch batman in the imax theatre..first time for me too *L*
Gonna try to be on my best behaviour with food. I'm taking some healthy snacks with me to these places even though their not allowed.

I've been dealing with a very sore throat and ear for 2 weeks and the dr said its getting better, I wanted to ask what throat she was looking at?

Well better go and finish packing and pack my kids stuff for their camping trip with their aunt and uncle.

so have a wonderful week-end and happy losing! :hug:

Isabel :carrot:

Have a Onederful week-end Isabel :-) Imax is awesome!!!

HI GUYS I sounds like we are all having a bit of a struggle. I know I sure am....back to work this week but on evenings so still not my regular routine..set a mini goal on Monday for 4 lbs by next Monday....as I was the same as on Friday (which is good I guess) and Wed I was up .6 and today I was up 1 lb...I said what the ****????? I have been really good this week too....I was so disappointed...:( So they told me to try for the carbs before 4 pm and see how that goes....

One of the girls I work with who is on JC but taking a break brought in Chips and dip for snackies tonight...again I said what the ****???? My fav too-- ripple chips and ranch dip (for my TOM craving next week I would almost kill for it) Almost--- BUT I DID NOT have a single chip....I ate my chicken salad and smiled the whole time!!!!!! Yeah me !!

Sexyness that is weird about the skinny cow ice cream because like everyone said it is on the allowed wall but in "the book" for ice cream it says and I quote *must be less than 140 calories and 2g of fat OR 25g of carbohydrates per 1/2 cup serving....I am pretty sure skinny cow meets that....however I have found one from breyers that is to die for....chocolate fudge brownie 100 cal cups... 100 cal ; 1.5 g fat ; 22 carbs 70 sodium....they are really good and I have to fight my kids for them.....got them on sale at safeway about $4.99 for 6 cups......

also I have had gallbladder removed as well and it was not too bad - 3 or 4 small incisions and out it came...quick recovery but still 6 weeks off work....well worth it nt to have that pain all the time....take care of yourself... have a good day on Friday TGIF and we will make it thru the weekend togeather!

Hi me again...here is a little something for everyone:

:dust:

My w/i today I remained the same-- no loss. but did lose another 2 inches so that is a bonus.

Started on CLA today too:)

Crazy I went today and was down 2--what the ****? what is going on??? I sure don't know...hopefully a good weekend for everyone....it is suppose to be hot in Edmonton so maby a huge chef salad for supper on Saturday....hmmmmm

I went in today and Up again..(Now 156.0) I have been So Stressed out with my Grandma passing and being out Camping and Trying to Relaxing I have Gained..." Still Not Moving Ticker" lol

SO I'm Just going though a Depressed time right now and Not sure I an handle staying on the Program. But I will Try my best. :(

I have been told No Straches after 4 and No Free Exch and Eat no earlier then 2hrs but no longer then 4.

Humm this is for 1 week, Lets see how this works W/No POPCORN for me..My Fav.

I Really Need some Hugs..... :(

Sorry that I haven't replied to all of the other Posted... HUGS to Our HM Hotties . I will soon. :hug:

Christina big big big :hug: Just be you girl and give yourself a bit of a break. You just experienced a big loss and getting down on yourself is not going to help you at all!!!

Im down a bit at 188 yay me had chocolate last night bad I know but I decided that every Friday night would be my cheat meal and some chocolate. Mainly because I refuse to give up my date night and you dont have a choice what they serve and secondly Im less likely to binge on anything if I have that to look forward to. So
we'll see how it goes I guess.

Happy weighing all!!

Well I was good all weekened So this Eat restriction better of worked.
tonight I weight myself and I got 152lbs I think I C .... http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p.../072708152.jpg I think with me weighting myself at 7pm I Hope to see it this Low in the Am when I go in to get WI.

Well me luck. :dizzy:

Well It's 9:38am and I'm heading in for WI !

I'm Down,I'm DOWN ... 153.0 !!
1 lb up from 7/12th

I was going to scream if I wasn't :dizzy:

Haha You are funny Christina.. So excited.. Congrats on the loss.

Hi to everyone.. I have been around but not much on the computer. Busy summer stuff.

My weight has been up and down all month and I am sort of at a stand still. I just wish I could get back on track.. Today has been good so far though.

Tomorrow I will go in and hopefully not too much damage has been done. I find weekends are very hard in the summer when everyone seems to be eating all the time.

Good luck girls and hope you have good weigh-ins this week.

(I am not moving my darn ticker either. Christina.. Hehe)

I wimped out and did not got to wi today...first Monday I have intentionally missed...I know I am up and pretty discouraged as I have been pretty good...I am also on starch before 4 pm and they will probably pull my free item....Just can't seem to get in the mood anymore! BUT I WILL NOT QUIT>>>>>:))

Hope everyone had a good weekend

No movement on the scale for me today. Got my measurements done and now total at 36inches and 30 lbs

I was down .4

Of course I had the girl I do not really like and i was honest about my birthday cake last night..and she said well had you not ate the cake you would be down more.. holy heck!!!?

She also told me the norm is 2 lbs down every visit? what does your centres say?:?:

some weeks I have 4 and some weeks 3 .. surely not 6..well except my first weeks which was 8lbs.

My centre says 2lbs /week is goal. Most weeks that I am 100% on plan I lose 3-4 lbs. But that is with extra water and mild amounts of exercise. Add in exercise loss is slower but more inches disappear.

Yep! 2 pounds a week is what the goal should be!!! I beat my record last week with a total of 4 pounds down...Woweeee I was so happy on Friday :-)

Today, 0.6 gain but I am ALWAYS up after week-ends and then manage to lose enough to make my weekly goal of 2 pounds by the Friday. Can't figure that one out yet LOL

Have a great week ladies xox

Takingchances... 2 lbs a visit?? I could see if your going in once per week.. That seems like a lot to me. My centre says 2 lbs per week too.

Julia.. good for you sticking with the exercise program.. I don't think I move enough.. I should get going but I can't seem to stick with it.. I am lazy..LOL.

Well... I had a pretty good day yesterday eating wise. I didn't eat after dinner (that is my downfall) I am not sure though if I am going in today since I do NOT want to be up again. Maybe wait till tomorrow.

I really hate when the scale is up.. Do you all obsess about the numbers as much as me? Makes for a crappy day if the scale is up.

Have a good day everyone and may the scale gods be good for all...

Keep goin everyone.........everyone is doin great!
I went into wi yesterday and was down 4 lbs. WooHoo, I was happy for that one, I needed it. I go back in on Friday and I will keep everyone posted!

:wave: I missed all of yas!! :hug:

We had a great fun weekend away and I went in for my wi on Monday and was down .2, but I'm just maintaining is all I'm doing.Makes me mad not losing bigger numbers and its making me doubt myself and wanting to quit like I've done all the other losing weight programs.

Then I keep hearing from the girls that dont know me at HM (they come from the other store in a near town) to help out and keep ragging on me for not eating enough food blah blah blah, I get most of my products in, like yesterday the new girl gave me heck for eating a bowl of cheerios with milk at 10:30am and nothingelse for breakfast. I said your lucky I ate that, I'm not a breakfast person, but made myself for this program. plus I've had a sore throat for almost 3 weeks so it hurts to swallow.I know their there to help but some just act like their all that with that stuff and annoys me.
sorry to vent.

I have and will get back on track with excercising and eating even better than I have been. I went for a speedwalk tonight and did my crunches and lower stomach crunches and side leg lifts and butt crunches so hopefully it will help for tomorrow's wi and measurements. I'm down 22 3/4" and 11 Lbs.

Congrats to all the losers keep it up and we have to stick together!!

Isabel :carrot:

Taking chances....WOW what a b**ch!!!! As if she would tell you that. For starters if you look in your book where they put down your inch loss etc it shows that your projected weight loss is 2 lbs per week. I know I made a goal of 10 lbs for myself by last sunday (HAHA fat chance) anyway I was mad when I didnt make it and my consultants keep getting mad at me saying you are ahead of schedule quit pushing!!! That girl should be fired!! First of all HM should be making you feel positive...Isnt that part of why we pay so much? Second of all promoting weight loss as ridiculous as that is irresponsible and unsafe. 2lbs per week is a safe lose. You need to come to my center lol. Where are you anyway?

Trudy...You dont know me but I have read your posts over the past few weeks and wondered where you disappeared to. Keep going girl..Love the new pic:)

Sexyness...I have a hard time eating in the am mainly because of time. Just to show Im gross :o heres what I do....3 heaping teaspoons of yogurt out of the container (noone touches my yogurt in this house but me) and 2 handfuls of blueberries which I eat while running out the door. This equals 2 oz or 1/4 cup of yogurt and 1/2 cup blueberries. I bring an orange for my midmorning snack. I was doing oatmeal too but found it showed on the scale when I would do my wi. I go at 11 am. Hope this helps maybe?

Today is measurements yay lol and Im finally at 10 lbs:carrot::carrot::carrot:

I am down another 2 inches total of 36 inches lost. and .2 lbs!

Did anyone see all the new under 100 snacks I was at Wal Mart and they have granola bars now! I like the fact I can have a treat every day like ice cream or a chocolate bar..:D

and I guess my weightloss might be slower cause my chicken all comes from M&M no more of that..boowoo.

So I had my measurements done yesterday and am down another 2 for 7.5 inches

hey everybody...

well went in for my wi and was up .2 Lbs like usual..since they switched my pills due to my galbladder and possible surgery I've been maintaining my weight:p but just found out today since its gonna be awhile for my surgery that they can put me back on my chromagic and wm2000 as well as the pills that been keeping me maintaining which is called ultrazyme.ick more money.The owner said I should see big numbers for loss again too like I first started so that made me happy which I needed since I've been struggling with the food part with my hubby liking to eat out.

Congrats to all the losers, way to go :hug:

I've been noticing alot of 100 cal snacks are out now and woohoo for that. I like the variety.Makes me feel like I'm being bad ;)

For every 5 lbs lost :belly: :belly:

halfbaked..just noticed were close to what we've lost so far and have to go to reach our goals :D I've lost 12 Lbs and like 32 Lbs to go. I started at 184 and want to get to 135 or less and now HM up'd my goal date because of my galbladder and being sick alot she gave me 3 extra weeks so now my goal date is December 22nd.

So how's it going with your sticking to the diet?It's hard for me quite a bit lately. Now they have me taking too many pills and I think I'm going in Tuesday and tell them too many pills its 5 pills all because of my galbladder, but I dont think I need to take all 5, I'm not a pill person and its gonna cost too much money. But we'll see what she says on Tuesday.

Hopefully your doing good.
