Hi everyone,
I'm Khadijah (kuh-DEE-juh) originally from Detroit, been in Houston 4 years. I live & work in Clear Lake right near Nasa. R1/P3/D4. Down about 27# this round, woohoo!
I was actually cruising right along until yesterday, when I had a gallbladder attack for the first time ever, and that freaked me out a little bit. I feel awesome right now, but I'm just contemplating how to tweek things and move forward after this unforseen setback.
On a positive note, I almost cried at Old Navy last week, as I bought a sundress for the first time in 8 years (anyone with a big bust will tell you, dresses just don't work, the bust is never big enough to hold you!). And for the first time since becoming diabetic, my HgbA1C is NORMAL. So I consider my gallbladder a small price to pay...sounds awful, I know!
I am a huge lurker so I look forward to reading more about everyone's experiences on this thread!

Hi everyone,

Yesterday was a very full & busy day at work. My day usually consists of a lot of computer time, hence I don't always spend time on one when I get home

Electronic device overload between computers, my iPad, phone, etc...Ever wonder what it would be like to go back to the days BEFORE common use of the internet? Yeah, I am dating myself here (50 years old).

Khadijah, I am a transplant from Monroe County, MI. Grew up in Erie, lived in Monroe, and worked at Fermi 2 for a long time. Can't say that I miss the cold winters at all! Family and friends on the other hand, I do miss... I also love sundresses and wear them frequently during the hot months. So comfortable. I hope your gall bladder doesn't give you too much trouble.

Central Market is a fun place to shop. I could spend way too much money there. Last time I purchased over $40 of different types of green tea. 30% of my regular grocery bill is usually spent on fruit & veggies. I like to make green smoothies and blend them together. I can get 3-4 servings of both fruits and veggies in one glass that way. Obviously, I am not on the protocol yet.

Still waiting delivery of my HCG. It is in the states ans clearing customs. Hope to have it in a few days but who knows? Wish I could actively contribute to the HCG conversation...it won't be long now.

I am not a morning eater either. As long as I drink some black coffee I am happy. The appetite does not usually kick in until 11 a.m.-ish.

Have a great Thursday everyone! Will try to check in later on the thread.

Dawn

Hi Khadijah!!! I work just 3 minutes from the NASA complex... maybe one day we can get together and have lunch!!

Congrats on your wonderful success! And yes you are right... dresses don't work well with a big bust.. LOL I can attest to that! I am looking forward to when I can jump up and down because I fit into one as well!!

YAY.. that's awesome news about your sugars being under control!!!

Keep us posted on how things are going and lurk all you want...

Hi Sabina and Khadijah-

Welcome! It looks like you have both had wonderful losses.

AFM, I am up .3 today. Oh well...I am skipping a day after continually messing with my dosage. I just can't figure this out! Everyone says that I should not be hungry, but that has never happened. Any thoughts? Hopefully, by the end of my long round, I will have this figured out.

Ane - have you asked Grammy? She knows her stuff when it comes to the injections... I'm using HHCG so I just regulate how many drops I use..

Have you tried Apple Cider Vinegar in water? I have been doing ACV / MSM shots in the evening ..

**ane** · May 5th, 2011, 07:34 AM

Becky,

I have been working with Grammy on that. I look forward to the day I figure it out. ACV is a great idea! I have been using it in my salad dressings at night, but I will start using it in the mornings since that is when most of my hunger occurs.

Awesome!! She is a wealth of knowledge that is for sure!!!

Yep I have found it does wonders... who knew!! LOL

Dawn,

Are you ordering injectable hCG? I have pre-paid for 3 months at a clinic, but I expect my losses will slow down and I might need another month or so. I probably will save some month and order the extra online. Let me know if the stuff you ordered works well.

Hey Sabina,

I saw your weight loss stats and they were impressive. You lost a ton of weight your first round! I was wondering how you gained the weight back in P4? Did you just stop monitoring your food intake, or did your body just start packing on the pounds when you reintroduced carbs? My life has revolved around massive weight gain/weight loss and I am hoping to end the vicious cycle with this diet.

Hope everyone is having a good morning!
