We're going to Hawaii in december for with my boyfriend's family. I want to have clothes to wear there, (shorts etc) but I don't know what size I'll be! I was thinking about getting stuff on clearance since it's the end of summer, but I've got no clue how many various sizes I should buy. I thought of getting something in each size down, like get 22s, 20s and 18s. I doubt I'd be a 16 in Dec.. but who knows!

I finally finished my paper! I didn't get to bed until 2:30 which meant 3 hours of sleep. But I didn't even get that! I was sucking down so much Water last night I couldn't even sleep 3 hours without having to get up! Ugh. But I managed to get through my day! I'm so going to bed early tonight!

Good morning ladies!

Query me this: A week ago tomorrow I had a fill. It was a good fill. I have just the right amount of restriction. I am eating about 900 calories a day and power-walking off about 700 of those.

How in heaven's name have I GAINED 3 lbs. since last Friday morning?!?!?!?!!

Maybe your body wants more food? ?? Could that be it?

I had that happen but my issue was Fluid intake...

ALSO the reason i think it could be lack of calories, is you are working out a LOT....

Hmmm youd think if you work out more then you eat youd loose..... interesting...

Meal yesterday:

I DID REALLLLLY GOOD:)

B:1 cup Watermelon yummmmm

L:1/2 piece of that home made pizza

D: 1.5 oz of pork loin from the crock pot.

And it musta worked cause the scale shows i lost all my Water weight plus 2 lbs:D

I am also thinking if im not in my sweet spot im RIGHT there.. because, iwas reading the chart i forget who posted... but the only thing on it that i didnt agree with was the weight loss because of my plateu, but if i start loosing again, i can agree with it. In the red zone i go occasionally wheni eat to fast or wrong density of food... ie.. right now i just had a bite of some eggs mike made, and im stopped... im not slimming or pbing, but you know i can feel it going down. So much that im debating on taking another bite...

Now i am having a HUGE problem. My balding is Getting worse! Seriously there is no denying it,people have even commented that im balding what in earth do i do! I am thinking of emailing dr baggs and asking him. Because this is getting embarrasing im 24 with balding going on:( Ive been reading to take prenatals?? whats your thoughts?

Well I have been kind of sucking on my Fluid intake, and it could be almost TOM because I have been a raving beotch for the last 2 days! I am not feeling much better this morning either, and I always feel better a few hours before I start. So I did 30 oz. as I did my walk this morning, and have already pee'd 3 times this AM maybe that's it. Also caloriecount.com says I was 240% of my RDA for sodium yesterday . . . .

YUP SEE thats it! So glad i could be of assistance lol.. sorry im in a weird mood:D

But no seriously i think retention is the problem:D

Good morning ladies!

Well my slip up caused me a 2 lb gain this morning :drool: no more of that!! I felt sick, tired, sluggish, it was HORRIBLE!! I wanted to go and just throw up...LOL....

[AudsMom 2]

Tamra: read above... i dont think you REALLY gained it:D just focus on Water a lot of water the next couple of days:D

[tamra. 6]

I hope not!

I have a 64 oz water bottle I got @ the American Canyon Walmart for $2.50, it's so cute! my goal is to drink it all before the end of work, and I have done really well, except the past 2 days.

Well, no more stepping on the scale at home until 8/25 (every pay day). I am finding it hurting me when I dont see the loss, so I will stay using Kaisers. :drool:

Hey Nicole - did i read a while back that you have Alopecia? I know another gal that has that and she is completely bald! doesn't even have eyebrows - she wears the cutest human hair wigs and has her eyebrows tatoo'd (sp?) on. Anyway it is important to find out the cause because there are so many different causes - once you know the cause you can determine a treatment. If you do, in fact, have Alopecia, it's not a matter of Protein intake or anything like that.

[Desperate1 1]

Riley - there is no way you gained weight! has to be the Water retention!

Tamra - two lbs isn't anything to worry about - it will be right back off ASAP - keep in mind that when you do lower your calorie intake your metabolism slows down a bit that's why it's so easy to regain the weight and then some. If you overdo it with the food you gotta speed up that metabolism and work it off!

[Desperate1 1]

Tina, are you back? Did you have a good time?

Lori - how are you - any updates?

Hi Pam!

[AudsMom 2]

Candra, how did the dr find out the issue..?? My dr is quite lazy on it

and ive been telling her for years about it, i litterally loose like 10 strands every time i put my hair in a pony tail.. yesterday i put it up 4 times.....

It has been going on for a LONG time, and now you can see it, and it's soo embarrassing.

What did your friend do.. Whats weired is a lot of people say buy the special shampoos i do i spend 50 bucks on mine, no help, the sprays the scrubs everything... i tried taking prentatls nope no help, even when i was prego.

It is soo frustrating.:drool:

So today i havent been able to really eat. I had the egg bite, and well a bite of watermelon.. was going down just painful then auds dumped my eggs everywhere.. stress hit me and panic and well.. i was then visiting the bathroom:( so i stoped eating.. just drinking water..

Dude I didn't even think about that LOL. I have YET to workout I am so lazy!! and the 24 in Martinez charges me $29.99/mo...LOL...you would think that would make me go! :drool:

Nicole - there is something on it in the MERC manual. There are different causes like scarring which you really can't do anything about so she's just bald and that's that. Since you do have hair, I doubt that's they cause of your symptoms. I believe Alopecia is considered an autoimune disease - your body is attacking itself, particularly the hair folicles. Have you had the diagnosis confirmed? then there are some types of Alopecia (just basically means balding) where the regrowth cycle is very very slow! there are ways to help stimulate that growth but I have no idea what it is. You should try to see a specialist - maybe a dermatologist.
