I think some of you may remember that my daughter was sick last week and I ended up having to purchase a nebulizer for her.

She was out of preschool on Friday and was sick with 103+ temperatures for 3 days. Finally on Monday she woke up with a 100 degree temp which is not a fever according to her pediatrician. She still had a cough and she looked sick. Her eyes looked sick, she was lethargic and she hasn't really eaten anything in about 3 days. I bring her to preschool on Tuesday because she had no temp and wanted to go. (She was no longer contagious). As I walk in the door to her school, the owner walks up to me and says she has something for me and that she should have called me yesterday but it was so chaotic. She then hands me a letter dated for Sunday (it's now Tuesday) that one of my daughters teachers is in the hospital with a confirmed diagnosis of streptococcal bacterial meningitis. ... My 3 year old has been sick since Thursday evening, very sick.. her school knows this... they get a confirmed case of this meningitis and they don't call me immediately??!! I'm SOOOOOO PISSED OFF. Now I have some freaking $300 compounded medication that I have to administer to Cara in case she has meningitis. If she remains sick they have to do a spinal tap to test for it.

Not to mention I cannot be exposed to these things and not be told. My immune system sucks and I catch everything..

Wow, that is awful girl!!! Been wondering where you've been and hoping your daughter was OK. Wishing you the best....

I LOVE this stuff!!! Have it every day and could drink just a big glass full with ice if I could!! But it goes in my coffee every single day!
Lily - I echo the others, you actually do want full fat cheese on P3! Which is fine with me

Although my question to the veterans on here is what if you are lactose intolerant...what do you do about the cream situation? I can eat full fat cheese no problem, but if I try to drink whole milk or cream/half and half my stomach revolts something fierce! Not sure what I am going to do

Oh and congrats for the .6 pound loss and getting to a new "decade" LOL!

Gosh...just thinking about cheese is making me insanely jealous of all you P3ers on here...that is DEFINITELY the very first thing I am adding in...like day 1 of P3. Everything else can wait! I'm going to have Brocolli with full fat shredded cheese stat! Can't wait

[/QUOTE]

Yup, cheese will be the first thing in my mouth at hour 72 and one minute!!!! Juat about to start day 40 tomorrow!

[QUOTE=alcoholswab;641198]Most low fat/fat free stuff mind-bogglingly replaces the fat with....

SUGAR

In a complete turn around from P2, you're now better to look at full fat labels than low/no fat labels, since your likelihood of finding low carb alternatives is better.

I know that most low fat stuff has sugar added (remember snackwells??? I lived on those in the 90's! Who knew they were the reason I had to keep going to the gym???!), but I didn't realize that dairy with no sugar added would have higher sugar counts. I'll have to start looking closely on the back of everything even more than I already do! Usually I carb check.....

Hi everyone

Thank you. I've just been so stressed with school. This semester is difficult and then you add on my little one being sick and all this mess and I'm a wreck. I'm still here and on protocol so hooray for that.

Thank you all for allowing me to vent here. I love you guys!

I have to go study, my first exam is tomorrow. <3

Well, I had an exciting evening tonight. The other night my TU auditioned for a musical at our local theatre, Cocoa Village Playhouse and today he got a call back for a 2nd audition tonight! It was 3 lonnnngggg hours, but it's the first time he has tried to be in a production since he left England 15 years ago when he moved over here. He has a great voice, but he was really nervous and I was nervous for him! I so hope he gets a part because I think it would make him so happy to be doing theatre again. My fingers are crossed for him! It's so nice to see him going for something that he's passionate about, and kinda sexy too! He looked so good tonight, being 21 lbs thinner and all- he was the best dressed one for sure (of course because I dressed him, LOL!)

In other news, tomorrow marks day 40! And I will still have drops left over, but I think I have decided to go off at the 40 days because this 40 days has felt like 400 days!!! Next time will be easier I'm sure as every 10 lbs will be noticeable and that will excite me forward during the next round.

Well after my fabulous morning on Tuesday I've stalled lol. But I'm pretty sure it's just TOM so hopefully in another day or two things will start moving again. Still going, and wearing some size 12 pants I haven't worn in oh, 8 years or so? I think they look ok, for being so outdated lol. At least they button up where a month or so ago I couldn't even get them over my butt

Gotta run, time to get kiddo up and he's still snoring so this'll be fun... he tells me to go away when he doesn't want to get up lol, two years old with attitude

don't they all I guess? Have a great day everyone!

**NannetteB** · February 9th, 2012, 05:00 AM

Just wanted a quick check in; I keep doing the "well I'll check in after I catch up"; still a hundred pages to go so.....

A sign of how great this thread is that I can't even think of not at least scanning them all. Hope everyone is doing well. Just entering P4 and still in my 2 pound window although with my paleo still doing a slow upward crawl and using a FFF day every 3 to 4 days to bring me back to LIW. Not a unpleasant way to live since I love the FFF but I know I need to branch out and try some other options just to find out what works best to stay stable. The weight loss apocalypse book suggestion of only eating when hungry etc sounds correct but frightening to practice. For now I'm working on trying to find the willingness to try something new but glad at least I am able to not gain with FFF bringing me over a pound loss to correct.

Hope everyone is doing well. Glad you are all continuing. Round three is in my future and actually rather looking forward to it.

Have a great week everyone
Nan

I am currently on P3D1. So far so good. I haven't been on here since the 5th (I think), so I have 3 days of posts to read. I am so beat, I will try to read them but can't promise. I've been running ragged, my youngest is sick so I'm trying to do a school fundraiser at home. When my TU gets home I run out to the school and work there for a few hours. Still waiting for Calgon to take me away.
Hope all is well with everyone and I hope your losses or stabilization are where you want it.
Have a good night everyone!

Welcome to P3!!! I've missed you very much!!! I hope your week gets better and you little guy is feeling better soon.

Sending Calgon your way.

Fashion from 8 years ago is SOOOO coming back!

And attitude from a 2 year old? I've got it from a 1 year old... Heaven help us both!

Nice to see you again, Nan. Glad to hear you are doing ok in P4, and looking forward to hearing how things go as you branch out.

Have a great day!

Well I gained .4 again today but it's totally my fault this time. I talked myself into a small spoonful of sour cream in my hcg chili. I knew better. I also used some eye cream and face lotion. Lesson learned. I need to really carefully choose what I eat today so I can get out of this 1 lb that I keep bobbing around in. Time to put my game face on.

**Juniper3411** · February 9th, 2012, 06:11 AM

Goose egg for me today, I was really hoping after the nice 1 pound loss that I would get a bone thrown my way...but no! Oh well. Tomorrow is another scale day LOL!

**ro1lola** · February 9th, 2012, 07:07 AM

Good morning everyone! Woke up to a 1.2 lb loss... I think taking out the grissini really helps. (Ok, I know what you said swab, but I'm weak, and I need to see bigger losses). The day before yesterday, I had 1/2 of a grissini stick, and woke up to a .2 lb loss. I know that was probably more about fluctuation than anything, but I'll try a no-grissini policy for the next week and see what happens.

In other random news, yesterday at work I was looking for my supervisor because we were supposed to meet. I saw that most of the office was empty, and realized that they were all in a meeting (a meeting of the elite Phds... they don't meet with us lowly Bachelor's people). I realized this when I passed by the conference room they had used to set up their lunch. And all of a sudden, I felt the (mild) injustice of being on a diet, and the bigger injustice of not being as respected as the Phds (they NEVER get us lunch... previously, we were treated as equals in research, but the new management has created separate "classes" of academic-awesomeness), and I did something random. I saw an entire tray of huge, bakery cookies, and I felt the NEED to swipe them. I took four, and then realized it wasn't satisfying enough, and I took 2 more. Then I put them in a tupperware and gave them to my sister when I got home. I never once thought to eat any myself. Isn't that weird how I felt like acting out, and pretty cool that I didn't feel the need to eat them? I don't even feel any kind of pull or yearning for them. I used to yearn for them, but now it feels like yearning for a friend or a boy that never calls you back. You're better off without!

**lily6288** · February 9th, 2012, 07:36 AM

Down -1 today! That makes 32.6 lbs so far......and today is day 40 for me! Now I'm in a quandry. I seem to be losing really well again and I'm 4.4 lbs from my half way to goal point, and I have a few more days of drops left from my last batch of HCG. Do I stay on the VLCD for another couple days and see if I can get to my goal, or do I go off until the next round? I'm desperate to get to cheese and I don't really want to miss going out for V day, but I also want my favorite jeans to not just fit, but to fit comfortably as I'll be wearing them for the next 6 weeks, including on vacation.
What to do???
