WestCoastMom............0 Wishin4...........................0 73 pounds gone!! The 180's have eluded me this week. I m sure the Easter candy did not help yesterday. Ugh....

What is a ketostix? It tells you that you are losing weight???? I don't Celebrate a loss with food, but I am addicted to the scale. I weigh every morning and every night. I just can't make myself go a week. I guess keeping track helps me from gaining all week. It keeps me in check.

I have had a fill with and without the lidacaine. Not really a big deal either way. A proper fill is totally worth the small amount of discomfort that you feel during the fill. It just feels wierd, it doesn't really hurt.

I will be going on a cruise this summer. HA, talk about temptation. I am not sure how well I will do with all of that food. But I have learned to remember protien first when I am out and about. Normal vacations I have planned ahead. I have packed appropriate Snacks. If I have a frig in the room I will take or buy when I get there yogurt, cheese sticks, cottage cheese etc... so that I know that I will have a protien healthy snack. At restaurants plan to eat off the childrens menus, buy an appetizer. or split a meal with a friend. And don't think for a minute that you will be walking more and that will help balance out your bad food choices. You will gain weight for sure or at the very least stay the same. Good Luck, Have fun!!!

Try childrens chewable tylenol if you have a hard time with swallowing pills.

Does Tylenol help? I know I still ache every now and then and tylenol does the trick. I would not freak out just yet. Go see a doc and let him run some tests, it might be a simple fix. I never heard of fat between your joints. And, my kiddo is adopted so I have nothing to relate being 32 weeks preggo. Good luck

Jamie, It sounds like you need to visit the doctor. Are you having pain in both shoulders? Hips too? Take care,

Stay away from the scale for about a week. All those IV bags of fluid that they pump into you is with you for about a week.

At 5'!1" and 176 pounds, I am sure you are thin. And lookin' good. I am 5' 6" and weigh 195. People are telling me how good I look and that I should not lose anymore weight. HA, I have atleast 30 pounds to go. Exercise, exercise, exercise. Congrats!!

Goose Egg this time. "0" I had the stomach bug last week and lost, then when I was finally able to eat, I ate and ate. A few valentine chocolates too. Back to the previous weeks weight.
