Topic: RE: How is everyone doing???
Hi
I am down 70 pounds and seem to be stuck there but I am losing inches. I started working out at a Ladies Work out center, kind of like Curves. Hopefully the weight loss will kick back in soon, I am about half way to where I want to be. How about you Cara?

Have you tried to shock your system with an all protein shake day??
I know when I've hit a slump that when I go back to basics I start to lose again.
With it getting hotter are you getting enough water??
I had gone to a local amusement part and the next day I had gained 3lb. The reason was not enough water. At $3.00 a bottle I didn't get all of mine that day.
Good Luck,

I think my scale has it in for me because it hasn't moved for a month and I am just six pounds from being at a normal weight.
Scales are very evil

Do something! I would not care what it was either. I tried everything. I had to go to the doc back in January I was impacted. Yes nasty. They had to go and dig. Humiliating, degrading, disgusting, you name it I was there. I then had to continue by doing an enema for two weeks. I just try to get lots of fluids in and that usually helps. Also I think the bacon that I ea is a little greasy and after a day or two it happens. I do notice if I try to get my protein in with shakes instead of food this often happens. Increase your activity a little. I also have the miralax. Insurance does not pay for it. I pay 20 dollars. I do not know if it helps. It is cheaper than the beniful. That also helps. I just have to use more of it. Try the liquid increase and walk a little more than usuall. My mother told me to drink a cup of coffee straight. No decaf. She said that the caffeine may make a jolt. Hope that helps.

I take colace. You can get it at any drug store or supermarket. My Dr. told me to take up to 3 at a time.
