I found that my prenat vitamins were causing my migrains two pregnancies ago. I break them in half and take an extra 400 mgs of folic acid to make up for that loss.

The iron is too much for me to handle in the vitamins.

I had a few though the last two weeks. I make sure I'm drinking my water, and if the pain starts in the base of my neck I use heated wet rags from the microwave and place them around my face and neck. Sometimes that helps almost instantly. If the pain is in my temples I use ice packs. Tylenol does nothing for me when it comes to headaches. So I try to use natural stuff. Even a half glass of very cold coke helps.

I feel for you I really do.

Flame away--I do not take prenate vitamins. I never have. WHen I did try they made me so sick from throwing up to headaches to not going to the bathroom. I am not a good medicine taker anyway. I am bad--when he added iron with Joshua--well you know what that does--I quit taking the pills--the day before I would take 2 doses and then the day of I would take 1 dose--so my levels would look good. I know not smart, but I could just not handle it. I did ask Dr. about not taking them- he said that was fine--and gave many reasons why it was fine.

I am startiong Claritin this morning to see if they are sinus induced really bad headaches. Have not tried a warm towel--always go for an ice cold cloth to lay over eyes. I call my headaches a skunk stripe--it starts at he base of my neck and goes directly to my eyes and then the right side is only affected. I feel like I have been living on darvacet this week because nothing else has worked. I feel a little foggy this morning, but I am praying it is just allergies and will pass with Claritin. The pollen here is so bad -- we desperatly need rain. Enough rambling.

We stayed at the HOJO east for a couple of nights last summer at the beginning of our trip. There was a big old cockroach in our room on the first night, so I wouldn't let the family have any food in the room, and I barely slept because I thought one would crawl into one of my orifices (that's the holes in your body). Also, there were some very noisy groups in the parking lot, right outside our door. Tell your friend that, and see if it helps.
Okay--I am totally afraid of roaches---If I see one I cannot sleep as well because of the orifice thing. Whenever I see one I call DH and he thinks something is wrong and comes very quickly--he gets mad at me sometimes over this. I just cannot kill them because of that sound when you kill----you know the sound

I bought some generic tylenol at Costco a couple of weeks ago. there's a picture like the smiley on the bottle. DD was getting ready to take the SATs, and looked at the bottle closely. She said she was disappointed because she thought they were smart pills from the picture, and it was only when she read the label that she found it was for headaches. Too bad there's no magic pill for smart! I know a lot of people I'd be handing it out to.

Happy weigh-in. Come on, pretty numbers!

Hope that everyone has a great FRIDAY!! Prayers are sent that need to be sent and well wishes to everyone. Have a good one!!!

 

[snowwite]

Yikes! I have a lot of reading to catch up on!

I found the pound I lost last week. I could just cry. Hope the rest of you were all big losers!

 

[dismom9761]

I lost 3 lbs.I had gained 6.5 last week so I had hoped for a better loss but I will take it.I get my 15 lb ribbon back.I will catch up and post more later.Gotta get to work....

 

[snowwite]

I am still not done reading but I am up to page 689. You guys sure know how to talk!

When we went to WDW in October of 2005 my husband had to ride on a scooter. He had broken his foot the March prior and he could not make it in the parks without the scooter. I believe he was happy with the scooter and many rides moved us to the front. There were some lines that he needed to park the sooter and walk the line, but I feel that the trip was much more enjoyable for all.

To get his feelings you may certainly PM him, or see if he ever comes around again.[/QUOTE thanks for the info

GoooOOOOOD Mornin Peeps!!

I love starting my day with the Peeps!! Prayers and Positive thoughts - ixiedust: and




Add me to the scooter list - we went 10 days on day 8 I fell and sprained my ankles, Animal Kingdom is the worst park to get around, and only a few scooters, the pavement is not smooth, hilly hard to push.. I walked it, big mistake... I was in tears...

Not worth it. I rented a scooter, stopped at the First aid place in MK - do read the Disability Board, a sticky there gives all the scoop on scooters. For instance like Bee said, some rides are ok, some if you can walk some its better - I wish I had my walking stick/cane tho - seriously check it out Sam's club has a collapsable one for under $20 - it will help! Pirate's of theCaribbean for instance, its best to park and walk through... Splash you scoot until a certain part, then the CM lets you scoot a secret exit way! Buzz LIghtyear, tricky turns, I walked - IN all those cases, best to get a FP and the CM's are much more helpful if you are in a scooter with a FP...

Some in Fantasyland, (I'm thinking Peter Pan) you just scoot up to the exit... and tell them you dont need them to stop the ride...

In Epcot I walked in Test Track, rode all the way thru Soarin... the CM was very specific about this - again if you read the Disability thread, they'll help you navigate, the elevator is slow, but near the stairs... you ride inot the aisle of the parachute then a cm steers the scooter... they got upset when I got off early!!

and dont let any kids ride your scooter... BIG no no!! ((hard to tell dd 8 that!) also the Disabilty board will tell you how to rent from an outside company, they deliver and pick up to your resort, and its cheaper... getting busses are much easier now... if you rent from the park, and park hop you keep your receipt, and show it at the 2nd park and get a 2nd scooter if its available.. no charge (since you were already charged!!)

Again, I cant reccommend the Disabilty Board enough! By getting a scooter, its not about you, its about a better Disney experience for EVERYONE in your party!! I know its hard, but you must do it!! You'll be glad you did!!

Thanks for the tips. I ordered one from CARE. I hope I dont get the hairy eyeball on the bus all week!

There are so many people using wheelchairs and scooters at Disney that no one will be staring at you. Don't be embarassed. Just go and enjoy yourself....don't worry about what other people think (cuz I doubt that they will be thinking anything ). Have an AWESOME time!

Thanks! Only 13 days left!

Nice to meet you Sarah!

You can do it! I'm a snacker too. I can graze myself fat with NO problem!

I just drink alot of diet soda and Crystal Lite to keep my mouth busy!

60 pounds is EASY! ONE pound at a time!!!!!!!

I am loving the crystal light. I buy cases of the stuff! I too have to lose 60 and it is a bit dauntiung but your positive attitude and the support here helps

punkin - all of the shirts on that site are

Re: my proposal. It has been submitted to the organization. I will know by end of June or July if it has been accepted. If it is accepted, I will get to go to the national convention in November in Bostom, Ma! So please keep you're fingers and toes crossed for me!

Good luck. Maybe we can have mini peep meet. I live just north of Boston

I have been dreaming about donuts...

Okay Peeps I have a confession to make. I have blown it this week. I will be posting a gain Fri and I am not a happy camper. So inorder to punish myself I vow to post my daily intake here, the good the bad and the ugly. I was doin ok til I quit being strict about accountability...then I started sliding...fast. SO starting friday I will start the new week with no cheats and accountablilty every day

okay so now off to shower cause I can smell myself after that workout, and lets just say even my dogs wont come near me.

You are the best!

Thank you all for the compliments.

Thank you for saying I am bee-autiful.. I appreciate the nice words.

You are all bee-autiful as well.

Love,Bee

Well, you are beeyoutiful

That's worth a Wooo Hoooty!

I gave myself a silent Wooo Hoooty tonight at the gym... hunky trainer dude said my clothes are falling off (no, Harley... he didn't mean it THAT way )

A Silent Woo Hooty for some reason made me think Silent but deadly (yes,completely inappropriate but I was laughing my bum off!

Did you guys see the cute clip on news about the guy surprising his son at school? So sweet!

 

[TwinkieMama]

Hi Peeps!
I remembered to weigh to day- no change I am still hanging on to those 2 lbs I need to lose to get my 15 lb ribbon back.

I did start exercising but wasn't consistant.
I did quit drinking diet coke cold turkey. I have replaced it with crystal lite peach tea. At least it doesn't have carbonation. I am working on trying to drink water.

My problem is that I start out good in the morning and sometime in afternoon I am actually hungry and then I binge eat until I feel nice an full. I need to be proactive and have healthy snacks before I am hungry.

I hope you all doing well!

Congrats to all the losers!

 

[the Fidge]

Loss of 4 lbs!!!OK I have to go and change into my new ribbon right now see ya later!!!BTW I cired with tears of joy when I weighed in!

 

[mlill]

-2.8

It's Spring Break over here and we've been running around like crazy! I wish we were in WDW instead! We bought a new car...

We ended up with a Nissan Versa hatchback. It's sooo cute! We're going to call him 'Viktor Versa - the Doom Buggy'! We bought one of those Haunted Mansion Doom Buggy license plates from WDW last December and couldn't wait to find the right car to put it on. It's on dealer locate, so cross your fingers that we actually get one! (They are pretty hard to find with ABS brakes, and that's a must!)

We also took our daughter, Jordan out to her college yesterday to register her for fall classes. She decided to get a jump on the year and take a summer class, too. I'm still in shock that my baby is all grown up and heading for college! Where did the time go???

Hugs to everyone that needs it! Just remember, you can't appreciate the 'ups' in life without the 'downs'. You just gotta keep going, one day at a time!

Have a great weekend!
-Michelle

No flames here. I believe eating healthy and balanced meals is just as good as taking the vitamins. I however don't always do that, so I rely on the vitamins to make up for what I don't eat. I eat trust me, just not balanced all the time. Even if you take a multi vitamin and not the potent pre nates I guess that's better than nothing.

I also believe you will crave things your body needs, so in the end it all works out.

My dr. this time gave me a list of "safe" medicines and these were on the list. I didn't know there were so many. Thought I'd share:

Tylenol-My dr. said all tylenol prouducts are safe. I've been meaning to try the tylenol sinus or allergy.

Tums
Emetrol (relieves nausea)
Mylanta and Maalox
Mylicon Phazym for gas relief
Imodium AD
Kaopectate
Chloretrimeton for sinus congestion
Sudafed for sinus congrestion
Dimetapp relieves sinus congestion, runny nose, sneezing and itchy watery eyes
Benadryl, congestion
Robatussin DM- Felieves cough.
Benalyn-relieves cough

Loss of 4 lbs!!!OK I have to go and change into my new ribbon right now see ya later!!!BTW I cired with tears of joy when I weighed in!

Congratulations for reaching such an outstanding goal!!

You rock!!!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

-4.5 POUNDS

FINALLY! A decent loss again after being stuck at nearly the same weight for a month. I put my shiny new ribbon up earlier this week.

 

[punkin413]

good morning and happy friday!

something wierd just happened - i got up this morning and weighed myself and i was at 153. then i ate breakfast and checked my e-mail, then went back to weigh myself again and it was 150???? um....i'll take the second figure!

so i lost - 4 pounds!!!!!!!!

which brings me to my question: do you guys weigh yourself when you first wake up or do you wait a while until after you eat and get yourself moving in the morning? because i always used to weigh myself first thing (after i peed of course). i'm just confused because 3 pounds is a big difference for like a 40-minute time period, ya know??? i'm gonna get a new battery today for the scale to see if that makes a difference.

 

[dance2874]

Drive by post coming through............

Down .5 today. I'll take it though. I lost 4 last week and I was half expecting to see some of them come back this week, so any loss is a good loss because it means last week was no fluke!

Back to catch up later, I promise. So far, we have had some big number this morning! Way to go Peeps!!

 

[daisy_77]

Hi, Peeps!
I did not lose anything this week. I wasn't 100% on plan, either...so it's better than gaining!

Congrats to all the losers this week!

I hope you all have a nice weekend!

 

[aldisneygrl]

Do you ever sleep?
Already up on the boards again...

Yes, I do. I am just addicted to this board. I DIS until late at night, then DIS before I get DD up in the morning for school, DIS whenever I have a free moment. It is a sickness I tell ya'.

Have fun in Arizona this weekend.

Hi All-

My New 'friend' Punkin led me here. I will have to admit that I have not read all 600+ pages, just the first few and the last 10 or so. I also see my pal Jo is here!

Do I have to do a 'pledge' or something to join...

I, as all of you need some support! I have been battling the rolls, since my birth-mother shoved sugar and junk down my throat, so she wouldn't eat it.

I am currently choosing to try the South Beach, however I have cheated...just a bit... Which leads me to why I need YOU! PLEASE, preetty please can I join

I will not tell how much I need to loose...but I want to start with 50! Yep...that is first reasonable goal. I think from there, it will get tougher...I have always heard that the closer you get, the tougher it is...

Well this time I need it off FOREVER! I need to do this for me...but most importantly, my family! My kids, need me for along time...I am not healthy where I am today! I love them more than life itself and need to prove that they are more important to me, than any food item which I can place in my mouth.


I am addicted to Carbs! The sweet version, mostly...

Okay....breath...I just admited it...I typed it and I am not deleting it...it's out...there is no going back!

WELCOME!!!! WE LOVE NEW PEEPS!

ooooo recruited members!!

WELCOME!!

I did a mini tr for my other message board friends (I do not have the letter after i and before K enabled on my keyboard, bear with me!)

thought I"d share some pics.. I may copy and paste it to a blog here or at myspace...
We met the Lincolns in front of the White House...

I shared earlier how our car broke, and we had to have it fixed... and the cowardly lion became our "flat stanley" well here's goofy me... and

There is nothing goofy there. That is just a mom making great memories for her and her DD!

OMG you have no idea how that makes me feel.. I almost cried.

I am feeling down lately,.. really fat and ugly.

For the Peeps on this board to say that makes me feel better.

I love you ALL!

Bee

We are here to help support our PEEPS! (This is me lifting you up when needed ) Why isn't he moving anymore?

Crazy Crazy Crazy.

Sorry everyone for taking so long. I got back from my apt. Waited for the last child to be picked up.

Made my kids dinner so they could make it to soccer practice.

Took Malorie with me to get my hair cut. I go to a friends house who does it out of her house and it's a 30 minute drive each way and she wasn't home!!!! NOOOOOOO! Came back home and wasn't feeling that great, but I'm better now. I think it was the extra 40 ounces of water I had to drink for the ultrasound. Makes everything work if you know what I mean.

The apt went from 3:30-4:40. I had to have pictures re done per the radiologist on the phone. Emptied my bladder 3 times!

They are sending me downtown to have some pictures re taken because the radiologist/dr. whoever was reading the pictures "didn't like how some of them read"???

What's that supposed to mean? The tech who I know is not supposed to say anything about the good/bad of the ultrasound said, don't think you have to have these pictures redone because there is something wrong with the baby, they are ordering this because they don't like how this machine is showing the pictures. I have to go down town in 2 weeks. I have to wait two weeks to know if everything is ok............prayers ladies please. I going to go nuts.

That being said, we are having another cute little baby !!!!!!!!!

We are very excited. Thanks for all the wishes.


Lexy. I really hope the hearing loss is not that bad. My sister in law has that disease where she has a constant ring in her ear. She can't go to sleep without the tv on, it drowns out the ringing. She blames it on her band days.

Prayers!

WOOHOO!!! IT'S A GIRL!!!!!


Shannon - Good luck on the "Friend Conversion".

I'm still back on page 690, but really got to go to work. Haven't had a chance to weigh nekkid yet. Will try to post before work, but may have to be this afternoon. Please send some Pixie Dust my way. Tonight is the night we have to get ready for our Tour of Italy dinner. The actual dinner is tomorrow night. The kids have to help make the meal. That should be interesting. Everything has to be decorated tonight before we leave. When I picked up the boys last night they were still working on the Tower of Pisa, and the Roman Coliseum. It is a phenomenal undertaking, but will be well worth it in the long run. I will try to take pics, and post here, but I still don't have photoshop on my 'puter yet. Anyway our fellowship hall will look like Italy by tonight or very early tomorrow morning. Luv ya'! Thanks in advance for that pixie dust!

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

Well, wouldn't you know it. After my big inspirational post last week after dipping below 200 for the first time in 5 years, I stayed the same this week. As John Lennon once wrote: "Instant Karmas's gonna get you; Gonna knock you right on the head." So I am still at a grand total of 18 pounds lost since the beginning of the year, and 42 pounds lost since April 2005 in about 8 non-consecutive months.

I ate really well this week, but I didn't exercise as much as I should have. It has been a busy week getting everything together for our big move at the end of April, so I didn't concentrate as much on exercising as I would have liked. So my goal for next week is to exercise at least 1/2 hour every day this next week, and hopefully I'll be back to my losing ways.

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ryone come on

 

[AnnNan]

So I am checking in briefly from work to say I lost 8 pounds. I actually lost it during the ten days I was gone on my trip and have kept it off for almost two weeks since I was back home eating normally - my new normal! so I'm taking it! I've lost about twenty pounds altogether, but it has taken a little over a year. I had been exercising but not lost any pounds since about August. Since that is about the rate I put it on I hope it is the last I will see of it!

Hope everyone has a good day!

Just keep slimmin'!!!

 

[UtahMama]

Punkin, for some reason I weigh less the very first thing in the morning. Buck nekkie and preferably after going big potty (I've weighed before and after big potty and it's POUNDS different!) I dont even drink anything prior to weighing for water even weighs something!

THIS week, I didn't take Hoodia (ran out) and stayed the same all week then TODAY it was up a pound. Two words, "Hoodia Works" as a helper. I did NOTHING different when I took it and I lost because I wasn't eating at night.

You guys are SO on FIRE!
I will have great numbers next friday! No more messing around!

 

[denecarter]

Wooooo Hooooty all you Big Losers!

Minnie Moo... I KNEW you had a new ribbon!

Punkin... Monday morning, first thing after I pee. I don't eat, drink, or shower before

The pollen here is so bad -- we desperatly need rain.

We did/do, too. We've been getting rain on and off the last week... but in huge amounts and causing flash flooding in the region. Most of it is running off and not really soaking in... except to my street which is "under construction"... no pavement, just 2 feet of semi-packed dirt... I do fishtails everytime I have to drive down it.

A Silent Woo Hooty for some reason made me think Silent but deadly (yes,completely inappropriate but I was laughing my bum off!

I need to be proactive and have healthy snacks before I am hungry.
