Could it be "bowels"? ;)

Chantal0123 06-04-2009 11:26 AM

Ok well if you meants BOWELS.. lol then here's what helps me!

I take one capsule with lunch & with dinner of Flaxseed Oil... works like a charm for me!!

witchie 06-04-2009 12:23 PM

Yes, I meant bowels LOL. I'll try the flaxseed oil caps. Merci

Warm water and lemon wedges or juice helps too. That was Lee who suggested that one way back and my centre said the same thing. Actual flax seed is helpful too and extra fibrous foods. Good luck... that feels terrible!

I am having a rough week. I am on track with HM but I feel kinda yucky ... like my body is retaining fluids or something. I do not like that at all!!!!!!!!!!

Hum, maybe I'm wrong but warm water & lemon is for digestion & to "wash" out sodium and fat... They never said it was for bowels...well not to me anyways.

It is just you Chantal... Lol
There are lots of benefits to the water, lemon and warm water one of which is natural relief from constipation. It is known to stimulate the bowels. I love google... :)

witchie 06-04-2009 04:17 PM

Ok fine, I will wash the flax seed oil caps down with warm water and lemon...

mememegogirl 06-04-2009 04:39 PM

LOL! Leave it you to make me smile you funny, funny girl!!! Good luck with however you choose to deal with your issue.

witchie 06-04-2009 06:34 PM

Why thank you meme. I may resort to a stick of dynamite if this lemon-flax-warm water concoction doesnt work. Cheers!

P.S. If ya ain't laughin', ya ain't livin'!

I asked my 'girl' about the frozen food section and realized that they forgot to give one to me.... and then I forgot to bring it up again at the end of my last session. I don't plan on having them often because they told me that they're not worth the allowances you use up for them. It's a good way to grab some easy is desperate times. Does anybody have any fav's?

Chantal0123 06-05-2009 08:07 AM

Nicole: See in 9 weeks, I ate ONE... I chose the Lean Cuisine Cheese Tortellini... And then, I questionned the center (I'm good at that!).

It says - 1 Veg...ok, there was NO veggie in there..like none.
Second, it's made with some tomato sauce... isn't that a Free Exchange?

Also, it's made with Ricotta cheese... which I was told it's a big no-no on program...

OK!! I'm all confused now...and the lady I was talking too was ALSO confused. She said "Well, these are like separate from the program."
WTH? I mean...

That's my perspective on the frozen stuff :)

witchie 06-05-2009 10:01 AM

Ya, the frozen stuff is bad news! Way too much sodium and preservatives. Anyhoo, WI this a.m. was ok, down 1/2 lb. Slowly but surely...

Chantal0123 06-05-2009 10:17 AM

Way to go Witchie! Hey, half a pound is still half a pound! At least it's not going up :)
I'm hoping for half a pound to a pound tonight... we shall see :)

Dria 06-05-2009 10:30 AM

I also do not partake in the frozen meals. Never have not once. I make my own!! For those days I am rushed and need something fast I grab out of my freezer and go.
Well weigh in this am was fabulous again. Since Monday I am already down 2.4 lbs this week.
IM IN THE 120's YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SO EXCITING!!!!!!!
I was 129.4 this morning :)
Thats leaving me with 9.4lbs to go :) EEEEEEEEEe I discussed maybe changing my goal to 115 seeing im far ahead of schedual. But we will play it by ear

lee2lee 06-05-2009 11:00 AM

Hello gang!!!
 
Dria what exciting news.... WOW you must feel awesome!!!! Are you adjusting to seeing yourself in the mirror yet??? Is your mind registering that you now are thin... or do you see yourself as big still??? Just curious because there alot of people who are thin and think they are fat... you know how the mind plays tricks on you!!!

Witchie... it was my center who told me about the warm water and lemon juice when I was a little stopped up and drink lots of water. Also there is benefibre crystals that are sugar free and taste free, and as far as I know sodium free you add it to anything, and it helps to drink water with it too. I add it to my water a couple times of day along with the lemon juice, and that did it for me, just another idea.

And as for me... I have made my goal of 209.8 by this Friday in fact I am now 209.0 !!! I honestly did not think that I would have made it !! and I lost 3 inches this week!!! for a total of 15 inches lost and 19.6 pounds gone!!!! YAHOO!!!! Now I work all weekend and they want me to be down to 208.8 for Monday's weigh in. Cross the fingers and toes!!!
