**sMaria11** · February 8th, 2010, 01:45 PM

yes Wishflower, I think I am sick... trying to shake myself of it though so I'm not completely down and out. Everyone around here seems to be getting sick, probably because of all the snow we've gotten and how cold the weather's been...

but congrats blackbetty on the weightloss!

and thanks ivy and casanova for the hello and get well!

Hope everyone is doing well and congrats blackbetty on the weight loss!
I"m officially in the 220's now! Goodbye 230's!

**Poisonivy005** · February 8th, 2010, 03:00 PM

Belle....My sister has a 2004 GTO! She LOVES it!! It's put away for the winter right now since it doesn't do well on snow!!! LOL...it's really pretty greenish/blue. What color did you find????

Hope all's going well! TTYL!!

**shoefiend** · February 8th, 2010, 03:16 PM

Taz - Me too...I totally feel so bloated, crappy, achy etc and TOM is finally here today...for me the first couple days are just horrid! I hope I stay strong like you and conquer the sweet tooth and we both be rid of TOM already and get rid of this crappy feeling!

Posion - Here are some of the benefits of 5HTP:

•5-HTP Elevate mood in cases of depression, anxiety, and panic attacks
•In addition to reducing the amount of time it takes to nod off, 5-HTP actually may enhance the quality of sleep itself, increasing both the duration of dream states (REM sleep) and of deep slumber
•5-HTP curbs the appetite when taken before meals. In this way 5-HTP promotes weight loss.
•5-HTP may also be of use in helping diabetics adhere to a healthy diet.
•Migraine headaches have been linked to low serotonin levels. 5-HTP found to ease migraine pain.
•By increasing the level of the neurochemicals, 5-HTP may improve pain tolerance.
•5-HTP is helpful in agitated states.
•5-HTP reduces symptoms of PMS.

I originally started taking it due to my moodiness and sleeplessness while taking phen....but yes I believe it can only help to aid in your loss even if not taking phen. I still took it while on my phen break. I had a hard time finding it too...Wal-mart and CVS did not have it. My hubby found it for me at Walgreens, that is the only place besides online that I have found it. It runs about $12 per bottle, however Walgreens usually has a buy one get one sale so I get 2 for the price of one

Wish - LOL - too funny

If I passed the torch I didnt mean too... I didnt think germs could pass thru cyber space - lol but it seems we have all just about gotten on the same cycle so who knows! Thnx again for the info on the softener, glad they are pill form and small at that! I was kinda worried they were the type you had to put somewhere...

sMaria - I hope you feel better soon! Dont be like me and avoid the doc like the plague...if it doesnt get better in a day or 2 go get some meds

My throat hurt soooo bad I could hardly swallow or talk without wanting to cry and then it ended up going to my ears, and that was not fun!

Mscas - Well I am kinda retarded - lol...I get the B12 shots but thought they were the same as the lipo B... I guess I thought that is what they are called in doc vocab - hahaha. Do you know what the difference is?

All this talk of snow

It is the never ending cloud hanging over here in Illinois too! We are supposed to get 6 to 10 in by Wednesday morning - YUCK!!!! Can winter just freakin be over already. I swear the other day the weather man said we only had about 8 in of snow for the rest of the season left to come and we already got like 4 of those inch the other day so WTH! Maybe he is wrong and we wont get any....wouldnt that be nice ladies, for the snow to just disappear from the radar

**shoefiend** · February 8th, 2010, 03:17 PM

Belle - Congrats on the new car

**southernbelle88** · February 8th, 2010, 03:32 PM

Poison- It's silver with dark tinted windows, flowmaster exhuast, intake, and aftermarket wheels. I love the leather seats and the 6 disc changer and the green glowing interior lights! I drove it and it took about a minute for me to think OMG I gotta have this car!!!! We don't get snow in SC so I think I'm good in that department LOL

what is this 5htp everyone is talking about?? Sounds like something I need! lol

**sMaria11** · February 8th, 2010, 03:58 PM

shoe- thanks for getting me sick! haha. jk. I feel like we have the same thing though, I think mine is not as bad as yours was, I am feeling better than I did on Saturday.. it was in my throat and ears too! Now I just feel clogged up like I can't hear right and my throat is a little scratchy.. the dry mouth doesn't help! I feel like there's a dry spot in the back of my throat that no matter how much water I drink, still feels dry. lol.
And 8 inches of snow... I wish! After the 12 inches we're supposed to get Wednesday.. we'll be up to like 50 inches, the most snow we've gotten ever in the history of New Jersey. hahaha. it's terrrrible!

**shoefiend** · February 8th, 2010, 04:04 PM

5HTP is a supplement that you can get in the vitamin section at Walgreens that is supposed to help raise your seratonin levels. It helps elevate mood, conquer cravings, control hunger, help you sleep better, etc... I heard about it on this forum and did some research by googling it cuz I needed help with the phen rage and sleeplessness. It has helped alot!

Sorry Maria

Yep sounds just like mine, must be going around everywhere! I had the same problem with the incredible dry mouth and throat, and that sure didnt help the throat pain...I took alot of ibuprofen and sudafed type med to help relieve the pressure in my ears and keep the postnasal drip from irritating my throat...my doc recommended the sudafed for the ears/nose issue. I heard you guys have just been pummeled by snow this year. I am not sure how much total we have gotten so far but I know it cant be as much as you! I dont mind it when it is a few inches here and there but when it is a foot at a time like we got last month and like you are expecting I freak out! We may get up to 10 by wednesday, but I am hoping for closer to the 6 cuz I have a weird part time job real early in the am (3amish) that relies on me driving around in rural areas during the time before the plows hit the streets

**mscasanova** · February 8th, 2010, 04:48 PM

Cingrats on the car belle!

This is what I found about the Lipo-B shots

What are Lipo-B (vitamin B12 with Lipotropics) Weight Loss Injections?

Lipotropics are three amino acids that are essential for the health of your liver. The liver is the organ responsible for removing fat and toxins from your body; so when it's healthier, it will work better for you. Vitamin B12 gives you a huge energy boost, which helps you to burn calories.
The vitamin cocktail included in the B12 and Lipotropic shots are compounds that enhance liver function and increase the flow of fats and bile from the liver and gallbladder. By definition, a lipotropic substance decreases the deposit, or speeds up the removal of fat within the liver. The key amino acids used to make these shots are Vitamin B12, Choline, Methione, and Inositol.
Vitamin B12 is essential for helping to form new, healthy cells in the body. It also boosts energy, helping to increase activity levels.
Choline supports the health of the liver in its processing and excretion of chemical wast products within the body. Moreover, it is required for the transport and metabolism of fats and cholesterol within the body, which is important for the healthy support of the endocrine, cardiovascular and hepatic systems.
Methione is one of the sulfur-containing amino acids and is important for many bodily functions. It acts as a lipotropic agent to prevent excess fat buildup in the liver and the body, is helpful in relieving or preventing fatigue and may be useful in some cases of allergy because it reduces histamine release.
Inositol, a nutrient belonging to the B vitamin complex, is closely associated with choline. It aids in the metabolism of fats and helps reduce blood cholesterol. Inositol participates in the action of serotonin, a neurotransmitter known to control mood and appetite.

What about B12 injections by themself?

We offer B12 by itself because some people just want the energy, not the weight loss. Others who want to lose weight but have a sulfa allergy can take this and boost their energy so they can burn more calories. The results are slower with the B12 by itself, but it does help. Vitamin B12 is a vitamin typically found in meat and dairy products. It helps in the formation of red blood cells and is essential for nervous system functioning. B12 creates a significant energy boost for the body. Patients who take it feel like moving around more and tend to burn more calories through increased movement.

Does the lost weight come back when you stop using the Lipo B injections?

These injections are set up to be used in conjunction with a diet and exercise program. As with anything with weight loss, the only way to keep the weight off long term is to change your lifestyle.

Can an appetite suppressant be taken along with the injections?

Yes, you may take appetite suppressants with these injections. In fact, they enhance your weight loss results. We offer prescription products to aide in you weight loss.

Which is better to use for weight loss- B12 alone or with Lipotropics?

The B12 with lipotropics will help you to lose weight faster than the B12 alone.

Can I take these injections if I have high blood pressure?

Yes, several patients may no longer need their blood pressure medications after losing weight.

I am taking other prescription medications. Can I still use these injections?

These injections are very safe. The Vitamin B12 with Lipotropics is composed of a vitamin and 3 amino acids. It will not interfere with other medications you are taking.

Aside From Injectable Form,
We Also Offer Lipo-B in Tablets.

Lipo BC Tablets

**Mary-Mary** · February 8th, 2010, 05:08 PM

shoefiend...ok...I found the cvs brand since I get discounts on them...lol. I got two bottles for the price of 1. There are only 30 pills per bottle. So you're supposed to take 1-2 at night or before bed??? When do you usually take them??? Do they just help you sleep?? Please let me know what/how you (or anyone) takes them!!! Thanks!!! I also bought a multivitamin for women. CVS brand, too, of course! Gotta go with the discounts! lol We'll see....

mscasanova...those shots sound interesting. I'm not good with needles, so I think I'll stick with the vitamins...LOL. Hope they work for you!!!!

**Poisonivy005** · February 9th, 2010, 08:31 AM

Hey there Ladies!

Well...I made it to work, but I won't be staying long. I have an appt at 8:30 this morning and then I'm heading home before my husband leaves for work. He wasn't too happy that HE had to get up with rugrat! Heaven forbid!!! UGH!!! I'm getting really tired of this crap! Maybe going off on him isn't such a bad idea cause I'm about over the attitude!!!!

So far, we have about 3inches. I made it in just fine...just hoping I can make it home ok! We'll see...I didn't have any trouble what so ever getting in! Fun times!!!

Taz...hopefully I'll have lost back down to at least where I was Sun morning...lol. I was still 279 this morning. So we'll see what happens. I'm gonna walk on my treadmill today while I watch my soap and hopefully rugrat will be taking a nap at that time! I can't walk on it while she's up. I could see the HORROR stories of what could happen!!!! When should I take the 5htp? At night before bed? A couple hours before bed?? Just makes me nervous taking pills...lol. I've not been taking my phen since last Thurs. Gonna try not to take them and see how I do! Hope TOM comes for you soon! You're not preggo are ya?? LOL

mscasanova...feel better! I had a sore throat over the weekend, but it's gone already...so we'll see what happens. I usually get it with the weather, too!!

ok...gonna get my crap done so I can get out of here. Talk to you all later!!

KEEP WARM!!!!

**shoefiend** · February 9th, 2010, 09:47 AM

MaryMary - Yes, thankyou

I feel so much better!

Posion - I take 1 5HTP in the morning with my other vitamins...besides helping with sleep it is supposed to increase your seratonin level to elevate your mood, reduces pms symptoms and also can decrease your appetite if taken before a meal. I have thought about increasing my dose to 2x a day, however I am with Taz on the tired taking so many pills a day - lol! I probably could just about open up my own vitamin store

BTW, that girl you work with sounds horrid! Talking like that to people and then wanting to buy prescription drugs from you...what a CREEP!!!!

Mscas - Thnx for the info on lipo....if you find out any more info on how to get it let me know please

Hope you are feeling better today!

Taz - All that exercise you are doing will burn off that tiny cheat you had last night! I am sure your scale will be down today

As for the mayo plan....went well for bfast and lunch...then I had to go help my inlaws move and didnt get home til 8pm and was tired, exhausted and starving and gave in to a couple pieces of frozen pizza

But today is a new day

I have to go over this morning in this snow storm and help my mom in law move some more stuff cuz I dont want her out there by herself. She has some knee probs and health issues due to weight so I dont want her to hurt her knees or self moving heavy boxes up and down stairs. So I will get another good workout in again today going up and down stairs 5 million times

My father in law just had surgery so he is unable to help, and my hubby is at work so it is all up to me and my MIL. Hope you get to feeling better

I so hate the horrible bloated feeling and achiness all over that comes with TOM!

**southernbelle88** · February 9th, 2010, 10:15 AM

Good morning everyone!

I'm going to ask my doctor about the lipo-b shot because that sounds great! I already have b-12 vitamins I need to find and take.

5htp sounds a lot like St. John's Wort. Anyone ever taken it? It puts you in a wayy better mood by elevating your serotonin levels in your brain. Seems like the same thing 5htp does. I can't take St. John's Wort because it decreases effectiveness of birth control. I wonder if 5htp does? If you're taking it, you may want to research it just in case! lol

I am down to 228.6 today! I am so happy to be out of the 230's and I'm never looking back! I'm dying to go back to the Riverwalk to walk with my dog but I'm presented with a new problem ... my 75lb dog on my nice leather seats

I don't know how I can get around that one!

**sMaria11** · February 9th, 2010, 10:31 AM

HELLO all, just checking in for the morning.

I ended up NOT going to the gym yesterday, I was so ready to, but the boyfriend came over and screwed up all my plans!! haha It's been tough seeing eachother the past few weeks with his and my work schedule, I work regular 8-4 hours and he works crazy restaurant hours, his days off are through the week and mine are weekends, blah blah you get the point! But I'm happy to say I did well yesterday too! Prob didn't eat as much as I should but O well. Had a yogurt for breakfast, turkey and cheese on wheat bread and string cheese. haha and then for dinner we had sushi! mmm I love sushi. No snacks in between or cheating! I was so nervous cause he was suggesting places like Outback and Chili's .. I was like nooooo. The temptation there is too much. haha.

This morning I'm totally not hungry... I wish it was like this at night, I usually wait and eat dinner around 630-7, so I'm not dying by 9pm. But I'm starving by the time dinner rolls around. But losing weight is what I really want, so 'mind over matter' and I squash my hunger and wait til dinner.
I'm definitely going to the gym tonight!! Prob not tomorrow since we are supposed to get another foot of snow overnight, but I'm determined to work my butt of tonight at the gym!

Wish me luck on the scale... I haven't weighed in since thursday and I'm nervous, in a good way though! TOM is on it's way out so I'm hoping for the best =)

Have a good day everyone!!

**wishflower** · February 9th, 2010, 11:11 AM

Drive safe in this yucky weather!!!! Taz

**mscasanova** · February 9th, 2010, 03:20 PM

Hey all!

Well Im feeling better today. Everytime someone around me is sick I get it. Thats why working in a hospital was prolly the worst decision I ever made. haha But Im back at it. Im starting school as soon as hubby gets working with this new job. I was just on the website for it and they say the job is suppose to officially kick off in the next week! Fingers crossed the rain doesnt postpone it!

Im going to go and finish my pre-reqs to be a Physicians Assistant! so long as I can get past the dissecting a cat part in one of my labs. Hopefully in a year I will be able to apply for the 2 year program!

I want to do soo many things its not even funny. I want to do the PA thing and I want to be a cosmetologist. LOL Completely different ends of the spectrum.

shoe- I will let you know as soon as I figure it out too. LOL

I weighed today and Im 217. Only a pound down from last week.

I go see my Dr tomorrow. Why is it that I do EVERYTHING the same every week and yet I will lose 5lbs one week then only 1 or 2 the next? Im consistent the loss should be too dang it!! Maybe its the sodium, hubby has been cooking and I KNOW he uses salt on everything and I dont...

Belle- I put a sheet or blanket over my seats to protect them. Its pretty much the same thing. I have head rests on my backseats so to help keep it in place I tie a ribbon around the headrest and blanket. Just a thought.

Maria- Good Luck on the scale!

**Mary-Mary** · February 9th, 2010, 04:22 PM

taz good job!! keep it up girl tonight is going to be my fourth day of exercise too and I am proud of myself and I am trying to stay away from the scale too I know for sure I wont be on goal this sunday but I am going to try to get as close as I can

It looks like everyone is doing great! good job girls

**Poisonivy005** · February 9th, 2010, 04:54 PM

Why hello there all!! I came home about 9 this morning! It's been a nice relaxing day with just Lex and I!! I need more mental health days!! Lol

taz...have u ever looked into the grant to pay for IVF?? My friend in NC has gotten it at least twice, if not three times! She can't carry, so have tried with surrogates. I know she's tried IVF three times, unsuccessfully, but I'm pretty sure she got the grant for them cause she and hubby don't have much money. I can ask her for info if u want me to!?!? Keep up the good work! I didn't end up getting to walk! Took advantage of the quiet to clean! Got my dishes done and got half the tub cleaned!! The bottom of our tub is brown from soap scum, I guess and nothing I had was getting it off! I got some comet and it works, but my lord u gotta scrub!!! Fun fun!!

Mary-Mary...good job!! Keep it up! I wish I could get my ***** moving!! Lol

Mscas...why do u have to go to the dr every week? Are u looking into weightloss surgery or will ur dr not give u phen without seeing u? Just being nosy...sorry!

I'll have to try taking the 5htp in the morning! I haven't tried it yet! The vitamins I bought says to take with meal...so I might take it at night and the 5htp and b12 in the morning! Hope for the best!! Lol

anyway... Need to get a little girl causing trouble! Talk to u all later!!!

Poison, omg I have never heard of a grant for Ivf? That would b sooo cool if u could get me more info on it! I would love to Check into it! I'm 33 right now and when I seen a fertility dr he told me if I want to do Ivf I need to do it by age 35 for higher chance of it working ! Seems like I'm always running against time! I feel so bad for ur friend that would b so devasting to try 3 times with no luck

idk what I would do prob just cry! People just don't no what it's like to not b able to have kids! Unless they r ever told they will never b able to have them'! I gave up on it so many times but I go thro so many emotions then try to hang on to a little hope that it could possibly happen like it has for others! Sooo yea I would love u to peices if u could get me any info at all on it

))) ohh don't u just hate cleaning the bath tubs lol that's my worst job, commet works great but like u sAid u gotta scrub hard! I love this stuff called grease lighting for my tubs i get it at dollar general store! It works awesome! Spray ur shower walls and tub let it set a few mins it gets the dirt n grime loose! CLR is also good stuff but the fumes is horrible!!!! Well guess I better see if I'm gonna have to go clean this house tonight or not! Hubby wants to put it off until tommoriw nite

have good evening!!! Taz

Not yet I am planning to start next week I want to get my body used to exercise first I dont want to get hurt

this last pounds are the hardes so we need to push our bodies to lose the weight.

the b12 dots are working for me! I just wish they would stay on my system longer it seems that they stay for a few hours so I might need to take them later so I can get my workout at night

Oh and I dont use the tredmill everyday maybe 3x a week and the rest just some dvds to get some cardio, I have the firm wave and I like it that is what i am using the other days.

Ivy- Thats just the way they do it there. Every week I get my weight, measurements, BP taken and a B12 shot. Im looking into a monthy thing right now bc once I get back to school I wont be able to just go in once a week. Im planning on asking him tomorrow.
It gets stressful going in once a week. LOL

If you could can you send me the info on the grant too please?

Taz- I know what you mean girl! Trust me.

According to my calorie records [cals consumed and burned vs cals I need to maintain] I should have lost 3lbs at least this week! WTH?
