James Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Muzz! Kiwi's scheming again!!She really doesn't want you to get thin...cuz she knows you'll become the New Zealand Fabio....and then you'll be on the cover of romance novels....and then even more chicks will be hitting on you than than there are now....and wife chicks are dictators and can't take competition...Be strong Muzz!!

Julie Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Wow! I don't think our McDonald's here in Emmetsburg has waffle cones! Yummy! Good thing! That drive-thru window is on my way home!I'm doing good today. Gained 2 pounds at my weigh-in yesterday. Kind of a kick in the pants and reality check though. I usually don't get serious until after my birthday since it's close to the holidays. Good luck to the rest of you!--Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Hey James... welcome back... haven't seen ya for a bit... what's up??? I'll let you know when more chicks start hitting on me Julesberry... I'm not sure how I'm thinking now.. Julie.. hang in there and we'll give you heaps of encouragement. Muzza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecstasy Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Congratulations, Julesberry, you're doing great!!! So many people never make it to this point yet here you are! In the meantime, I'm doing very well with my meals (Asian Chicken Salad, fruit plates, lean meats, and I'm doing well with the water increase.) My energy level isn't where it needs to be yet so I can't do too much in the line of exercise without becoming exhausted but maybe soon (fingers crossed.) I want to get strong enough to get back to my water aerobics and deep-water running!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Hi Everyone....well a little disappointed. I only lost about 750grams this weeks in spite of all the exercise. I'm blaming Kiwi for forcing me to eat a Waffle cone.. Still it could have been worse... I could have put weight on.Kathy Lee..... I guess I'll know when the weight loss is showing visibly when the ladies start swimming after me. The only lady that swims after me at the moment is Kiwi and that's usually to get pay back 'cause she got splashed.. Mind you, I'm happy to slow down and let her catch me..

Ecstasy Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Even baby steps are still steps forward! Good for you! Did you ever see the movie What About Bob?

Muzza Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Don't think I did.... and now Kiwi FORCED me to have an Iced Coffee with Ice Cream and Cream in it... sheesh. Talk about make it hard for a bloke Muzza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 At least the Ice Cream and Iced coffee's aren't affecting my Blood Pressure - negatively. I have just had a Blood Pressure test today and it is where it should be... 110/70. I can say I am a very happy chappy and thankful to all the support of the EC.com family and especially Kiwi who has encouraged and cajoled me at the same time.

Muzza Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Well I weighed in... and.... I lost a little more, which means so far I have lost 5lbs. Not a lot but slowly and surely I am going down. Muzza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecstasy Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Unfortunately no changes with the weight yet but I have added a couple of changes to my diet. I've added 2 tbsp. ground flaxseed to my breakfast and 1 tbsp of bentonite (liquid clay) 2x/daily to speed detoxification (might try the powdered version in a bath or just plain epsom salt.) We'll see if it makes any difference over the next couple of weeks.Nice job, Julesberry --- keep hanging in there!Muzza, great job, my friend!

mellie Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Gord - I have a question for you. You said a while back on an older thread that you have celiac disease, which if I understand correctly, is a life-threatening intolerance for gluten. So, you obviously can't have foods containing wheat. I am allergic to wheat, but small amounts on occasion aren't going to kill me. If I indulge, I just have to be ready to suffer the consequences. I'm curious about what kind of preparations you use in your diet and what substitutions you can use when a recipe calls for flour. Thanks.

julesberry Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Kathy Lee,I have a recipe for homemade mustard bath which is great for detoxification. Let me know if you'd like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecstasy Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hey, Julesberry, I'd LOVE that! Pass it along, please! How does it work, what is it best for? I don't know what I'm trying to rid myself of --- I think prescription abuse from my doctors. (My naturopath was horrified when he found out everything they had me on <yes, each of them knew> and his first order of business was to get me off of as much as possible as quickly as possible. I'm doing a WHOLE lot better in that respect!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kiwi Connection Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 WELL DONE to everyone who has so far achieved what they set out to achieve. Keep up the good work. I suspect Muzz wont have lost any weight this week as we have been away for a long weekend that involved lots of socialising and eating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Due to an interuption to my weigh in regime I won't be weighing until next Saturday.. That gives me time to go into damage control... Muzza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
