Ooooh. One more day? That's good. And well done Sue on breaking into the next decade!

I'm still really bloated so Idk if I reached the goal or not. I'm using a diuretic my mom is giving me (This is a ONE TIME THING I do NOT take this diuretic regularly-in fact I don't event take it occasionally) though today so we'll see what happens tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

The reason I'm so bloated THIS TIME is salt. Lady cycle plus ONE day of too much salt = bloat. Bad combo. So this diuretic is a restart kinda think. Get rid of the bloat. Cut back A LOT on my sodium intake. So I won't of a problem with such long term bloating anymore. I mean one or 2 days of bloating is fine by me but this is ridiculous.

Hey Sue your doing great!!! I'm at 269 too. For a few days now. I think we can definetely do this!! I'm no wear near my goal for this month, but I'm ok with that. I'm pretty sure I set an unrealistic goal. Great job!!!

Jennifer you are so close..Great Job!!

Emurph.. Whhoooo hooo.. Great job!!

Ian 16 pounds is awesome! Good for you..

This is fantastic, everyone! Congratulations!! This thread has helped me so much! Are you guys cool if I start the June one!?

I am going to weigh in one last time tomorrow but as it stands, 14.7 lbs lost in April!!!

Go for it! Start it up baby! And I'm so happy for you!

I don't want to sound rude or ungrateful. I really don't but this has been bothering me all week and I want to get it off my chest. None of you have said anything to me this whole challenge even when I spoke to you. :( Makes me feel like you all don't like me... And haven't felt any support... I've kept hoping maybe you guys would notice me but no one has...

That is just awesome, Northernchick! Let's hope your "losing" streak somehow gets sprinkled on all of us and that we can have a great May. ;0

I'm sorry you have been feeling that way! :( :hug: It has happened to me on a few chat/daily threads where I comment and respond to some members and they just don't respond back. That does hurt my feelings sometimes but I try hard not to take it personal because they are strangers that I don't know in RL, they may have missed it or they may not feel comfortable, etc. a zillion of reasons, really.

I have not been posting much in this thread since I have had 0 losses all month.

I hate being bloated too. Sounds counterproductive but water works. Be careful of water intoxication though! I saw your other thread and it seems that diet soda did the trick for you?

Yes it did but it turns my medications some how make me caffeine sensitive and soda now gives me insomnia so I can only only drink a little lol my luck. And I tried water and water with lemon juice and everything and my body is just holding it all in.

Thank you very much for responding! I just had to get it off my chest you know? It was making my heart ache holding it in. :hug: You are a very kind person :)

Hey wolfgirl! I sincerely apologize if I missed any of your posts. This place is all about support and sometimes we read so fast or get so excited that we don't always read through. I hope that by getting it off your chest, you can get back to feeling LOVED! We are all here for one thing: SUPPORT! On behalf of everyone here, you've got ours :)

Wolfgirl: Exactly what NorthernChick said! I do not reply on all the threads I read and post on simply because it would take me all day! I tend to just post on this challenge, and I am very sorry if you have felt ignored! I supposrt everyone on this journey to lose weight 100%. We are all in this together :)

Thank you everybody I feel a lot better! I just needed to say something so I could let it go you know? So yea. Thank you all! *hugs*

Hey wolfgirl.... I am sorry too.... I usually just lump everyone into HEY Everyone... so I am so sorry... I usually welcome the new people who joined and I am terribly sorry that I did not do that for you. YOU are wonderful to have on this thread.... (and there are a bunch of threads that I get ignored too... but those are usually the ones that people have already bonded and eh... I am aok with that or I have the thread all to myself 2 of which Losing weight at 50 and the walk to Mordor LOL so I talk to myself) I do read everything that you say and I don't have the info to answer your posts sometimes.. but I am always sending you well wishes mentally. and you have done sooooo well this month (even with your troubles)

SOOOO

Onto MAY and lets kick butt! ALL OF US Woo HOO!! Maybe we should note in our post how much we lost individually at the start of the month for the last month? Jut a thought
