Hi Paula! I hope your fesh start is coming along OK. You're on R3 & while it may seeeeem a long haul, you can do this. I'm praying for you sweetie...be of good courage. Blessings sheli

Good Morning (for a few more minutes here)!
I've been on the thread today and just can't post. I think it's b/c I feel so out of the loop, so I decided to just keep intouch with you and Patty. Did you all lose Shuly? Didn't see any posts from her or Oliver?
Any way, I started on the pellets again this a.m. Not sure if I am ready but I will try and get back into it. I was wanting to get into shorts this summer and the only way I'll feel okay doing that is if I lose about 20-30 more pounds.
Did you tell me how your mom was doing after that big scare? That had to been hard on her heart too?
Any way, I'll be looking in on you now and again if you don't mind doing it this way? BTW, here is my personal e-mail. . . [email protected]

Hey there, it's been awhile and since I don't have a lot of time to go back and read thru the thread for Celeste I thought I would just ck. in with you here. How has your mom been? How about you? The last time I was on the thread you were ending P2 and headed to P3. Are you still in P3/P4?
I posted today and mentioned that I had quit the hcg. I really want to get back into it and start losing again but I don't think my head is in it. Not sure why. Could use some extra prayer warriors on this issue.
Miss you! RJ

Yes, I live in TX, but I'm a transplant like most people here...Dallas to be exact. Did you ever try the detox bath?

It sounds like the doctors sent her home to die the first time. . .my opinion only, but if she only had 18% function and they did nothing, that was probably their thoughts. I believe she is a walking miracle!
As far as the no rehab. . .it probably is b/c they think it wont do any good. It actually might stress her heart too much. Rehab is just for that, stressing the heart so that it learns to work and function more effectively; makes the muscle stronger just as when we exercise.
I'm so sorry to hear the whole story. She must have a continued purpose to still be here with us. God is good and He is the one that knows. Enjoy every moment that you guys have together so that memories will be long lasting and precious. Lovingly, RJ

Hi Paula,
Yes I did see the thing about cutting down slowly, I don't know if that would work for me. I'm scoping out the nicorette and I may be using it during P2 or patches. Dr has promised me a scrip for xanax or something like that but I'm not sure If I'll like it and I've never taken them before. I will never ever take chantix, prozac, paxil, welbutrin or any thing remotely like it. March 19th load for Rd3 and I'm going to quit the 21st when I start VLCD. Then I'll have 5 workdays under my belt before I'm left to contend with not smoking all weekend at home. I'm just going to power through it. Do a 40 day cycle, take what losses I can get. Since I've been close to the lb/day average on my first 2 rounds, I'm hoping for at least 20lbs in a 40 day round. Sucks but thats what I'm hoping for. I think cutting down gradually leaves me too much grey area.

Well, I was talking about the stuff on the left side under your picture that says the phase and day of the diet you are on?

How do I get the "stuff" under my name like you have on yours? Does that make sense? LOL
