The WTF Losers

teachumThe WTF Losers
I think it's sad that we've been kicked out and relegated to an isolation room. I think *some* people just don't want to think about their health and welfare. Pooey on them! Fighting like hell to get rid of that last five - I just keep hitting a bottom that I can't seem to get below. ANyone know any tricks to get through?

OK, I had a virus, and that clearly helped, but going to the gym every day had its effect, too.
No fair! I just spent two days as a guest of the "Spa Emerson"

. 11 hours in emergency, two days on an IV with NO FOOD and I gained 5 pounds....

Geez, you'd think for all the trouble they could have at least taken a few pounds off.

Beelady - Did I miss something? Are you O.K?
Edit: I see your comments over in the "Boston Globe" now. Hope you feel better soon.

That's what I would like to know!
Doug, I am up and about again....Thanks for asking....

AmandaSounds just awful, Beelady.

Hope you are fully recovered.

PS I too have found IVs to be dismayingly fattening or at least weight inducing. Of all the boring ways to put it on! I guess the only worse one, would be a naso-pharygeal tube (which could contain actual food).
Depends a lot on how dehydrated you are to start.

AdagioMAh, but all that fluid from the IV comes off in a hurry afterwards! It's just water... and a little something.

ShiroKuroI blink, and suddenly this thread is up to 37 pages!

I was gonna ask a question, but I got lost somewhere here and forgot what it was.
Oh well, I went for a walk today. One day at a time....

Not to mention all that exercise running to the loo!

plays88keysI haven't read all 37 pages of this thread. Jumping in now just to say I joined Weight Watchers online on Monday. Right now I'm just trying to stay busy enough that I don't think about how hungry I am. I know this will pass.
Until that light headedness passes, I won't be doing much exercise -- I'm afraid it would trigger a sudden plunge in my blood sugar.

jodiGood for you, plays. My neighbor joined last year. It has made a huge difference for her, it's been the only thing that has worked. Best of luck to you!
I've been having a hard time in the calori department lately - I was doing so well over the holidays, but I've been overdoing the carbs big time lately.

teachumWell, I didn't do any damage in Seattle last weekend with my two dinners out. I probably would have lost a little more this week if I had been ABLE TO EXERCISE. But I had blasted meetings and classes every single night after school and then last night we went to the symphony....wah, wah, wah! I'm finally down into the last place value change I need to go to. I have been eating cereal two meals a day and then dinner for the last week or so, and it seems to be suiting me.

plays88keysGood Lord, no wonder I was so miserable last week -- when I stepped on the scale today it told me I lost seven pounds!
Still a bit lightheaded, but pleased to also be seven pounds lighter.

AdagioMPlays, that's a lot in one week!
Go carefully; moderation is key. But congratulations!

plays88keysYou're right -- the only time I've ever lost that much weight in a week was when I was ill with meningitis and could eat nothing.
I am thinking the majority of that weight loss is fluid -- I was constantly running to the bathroom!
