I LOVE IT!!!!!! CONGRATS :-)

You look really good Shanny!!!!

I've have been stalling so frequently that I have really been down in the dumps lately. These past two months I would lose a few pounds and for the remainder of that week and the next week I would just bounce up and down with the pounds I'd lost on the scales. Then I will lose a few more and do the same thing for two weeks again. It really can be nerve wrecking, but thank goodness I measured in the beginning to let me know that I am progressing no matter what the scales say! These are my measurements and inches lost. 03/18/2011 neck 17.25 arms 19/19 bust 55.5 waist 54 belly button/lower waist 56 hips 59 thighs 35/35 calves 19.25/19.25 06/06/2011 neck 15 (2.25 inches) arms 17/17 (4 inches) bust 48(7.5 inches) waist 46 (8 inches) belly button/lower waist 48 (8 inches) hips 54(5 inches) thighs 29/29 ( 12 inches) calves 17/17 (4.5 inches) You think that you are big now until you look back and see just how BIG you actually were!!! Like a whole 51.25 inches BIGGER..... LOL

I love the grape poweraid zero, the Tropicana 50/50 juices, fresh brewed green iced tea mixed with a powdered mix such as pomegrante and berry or tropical mango flavors sweetened with splenda :-)

HOORAY for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was going to say the exact same thing about the liquid detox. I am in the medical field also :-) And that is the explanation I used for my pre op and post op phases initially. Told my family and friends that I needed to lose weight due to medical issues starting to become a concern and that I was starting out with a liquid detox under Dr's supervision :-)

I have the Mirena IUD with hormones (the 5 year) and I can't tell you whether it is slowing me down with weightloss or not. I had my surgery March 18th, 2011 and since then I've lost 50lbs. However, I have also been having very irregular periods since surgery also and before I never did! I have an appointment tomorrow with my OBGYN and I am going to ask some questions about all of this because I am considering getting it removed. I will repost whatever I find out :-)

Sounds so delicious. OMG the sugar and fat in the D&D version are OVER THE TOP..............THAT IS RIDICULOUS!!! LOL

I just did the exact same thing that you did with the mindless eating and puked my enitire sleeve out too! I wasn't reading, but I was totally distracted with a crying infant at home with an ear infection. I was hungry and rushing myself in order to tend to him as soon as possible and that's when it happened. The horrible chest feeling, I massaged it and beat on it like a drum because it does usually help......well not this time, right? OH MY GOODNESS!!! I hate throwing up and getting the slimies right before and after I do. I don't get the bile anymore either and I am not on a PPI. I just continue rinsing with cold water and brush to try and get rid of the spitting which I hate SO BAD! Sometimes the only thing that will stop it is to suck on a piece of hard candy like a jolly rancher. I have to keep some in the house at all times in case a spitting episode arises.
