First question I got is What's better the Medifast Diet or a no carb diet? Looking forward for any response. Another question... Other topics will be discussed that may not be appropriate for the easily offended.. |
|
|
|
I would like to know the answer too. Anyone here know what is the answer to that question. I'll do some research in Google and get back to you if I bump into an useful answer. You should email the people at Medifast as they probably could give you an answer..
|

HI MEGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for getting us up and running - and your leftist blend ROCKS! Please tell me where you got it, cause I need to get me some!!!!!! :-) Still waking up from the horrible lightening and thunder storms last night - not a fun time at all!.
Otherwise, everything is well here - I have to go update my ticker - total loss this week: 3 pounds!. I'll check in again from work - have a good sleep, Megg!. Melissa.. |
|
Morning all. Just wanted to pop in to say Hi to all my friends here. Without being able to post/read from work, I just can't keep up! It was causing me anxiety just trying. The T&M thread, where I need to be right now, is much easier to keep up with. So, a quick fly by here & there to say hello will have to suffice over here til things change at work..
I'm outa here in 19/19/29 anyway.. |
|
Good morning gals! I'm off to work, where I will anxiously await a call from Dr. Doom, then to a vet appointment afterward for my worst pet, a terrible cat I've had for the past 14 years. He's the world's worst kitty, but I believe you keep animals and kids once you've got 'em, so we take good care of him despite him being the baddest. (Did I mention he's really bad, because he's BAD.).
Have a good hump day. I'll pop in later... |
|
Melissa.
, I missed your weigh in on my first skim through. WOOHOO!!!! Congrats!.. |
|
Good morning, kids! Megg, thanks for the coffee! Yuh-HUM!.
Melissa! Congrats on a GREAT loss! Yes, I am hitting the post office this morning!. Good morning, Jan! Are you all packed? We miss hearing from you, too! Stewpid werk.. Mia, when you check in, I sent you a PM.... My hubby forgot his wallet today, so while I need to leave early to go to the PO, I also have to make yet ANOTHER stop. The PO may have to wait until this afternoon. It actually may stop raining by then.. I sent ANOTHER message to PhotoBucket. People are highly upset with them, judging by the comments on their FB page. The service is down for paying members as well, and many people use it to run their online businesses, so I can understand. The last update said it should be back after midnight... midnight on WHAT PLANET, because it's almost 8 hours later and I still don't see my stuff. Jerks... |

Good Morning Tough Lovelies!.
I have a spring in my step this morning because my scale read 219.9 today! I know all I have to do is inhale deeply and it'll bounce right up, but it was so good to see the 210's I nearly cried. Tomorrow is my official WI day so hopefully I will be even more solidly in my new decade. I weighed 239 on March 7th, so 20 lbs in a little over 5 weeks. Love MF! Love 5/1!! Love this wonderful group! You guys ROCK!. Melissa- CONGRATS on your whopping 3 pounds. That is wonderful and I'm so happy for you. My box arrived yesterday!! Will PM you.. Zoe - what on earth did bad kitty do??. Penny - I'm making do until my TL banner is back.. Jan - Great to see you. You know there's no pressure to keep up here. Just pop in when you can and say hi. Let us know you're still around and doing well. I hope all is going well for you in maintenance land!. Speaking of maintenance land, have we lost Ella to the TL T&M thread? I miss her. Might have to try to get over there if folks don't stay in touch here too. Bummer.. Gone Country - thanks for the coffee. Leftist blend works for me!. HUGGLES!.. |
|
Good Morning Ladies! Thanks for the coffee Megg.
I had a horrible time dragging myself out of bed this morning so I need it!. Congrats on the loss Melissa...that's awesome!. HI Zoe, Penny, Jan and anyone I missed while posting!!. I'm just getting to work. I have really been dragging in the morning, no clue why. Some weird stuff going on with my body. I had very light menstrual cramps for a week straight, they stopped on Sunday...but my buddy TOM isn't even supposed to be here until the 15th. Now I have some weird rash between on my back between my shoulderblades. It's not bumpy or anything, just red. Very weird!. Well, off to drink my Medifast mocha latte! I'll be lurking... |
|
Good morning.
Zoe. ! Don't you know that there's no such thing as a bad kitty? Wild and crazy, yes, but not bad! :-) Thank you for taking care of him! And I renamed my "shallow bowl pancake" to the "zoecake" in your honor.. Good morning. Penny. ! I had a very crazy morning - first I couldn't find the keys, then I couldn't find the wallet, then I decided the birds needed more food... it's amazing I ever get to work sometimes!!!. Hi. Jan. ! Glad you could do a fly-by! Have a great day!!!. Melissa.. |
|
Oh, Penny! Pretty, pretty bracelets! Me want! Still waiting for the 15th since we spent so much money on taking down those blasted trees. Very soon you are going to be my little self-reward for hitting 50 lbs off! I'm at 47.5 lbs down this morning!!.
I'll pre-order a bit!!.. |
|
Hi.
Tkd. - congrats on your new decade!!!!! You're really doing it - feels good, doesn't it? There is someone here where I work who could really, really, really use MF. They have gone through someone else to find out what it is I'm doing! I'm so excited and happy that this person may come on board. And of course thrilled that it was noticed that I'm losing!. Waving HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to all I missed and all to follow!. Mleissa.. |
|
Hi.
Jennifer. !!! Way to go on the losses! Penny Jewels are the best way to reward yourself - and I say that with a lot of experience!!!!. YUM - eating brownies and losing weight - who knew?. Melissa.. |
|
Well Good Morning! Gooood Morning! Not sure why I'm peppy this morning but I am. This one goes out to all my PITA morning TL Peeps! Love you all! LOL.
Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uA3OnIYW5u4. Thanks for the coffee. Megg. !. Morning. YiaYia. !. Zoe. , when I was on high doses of prednisone (and due to my diagnoses, too), I needed to see my eye doctor on a regular and more "rigorous" schedule than ever before. Trouble was, I had been lucky enough to never really need glasses, so I went to my eyeball practice and made an appointment with whoever was available.. So, when I went I had asked her if she ever had a patient with my issues. She smiled sheepishly and said, this is my first year in practice. If you came along last year, I would have asked you for permission to use you at school... Even though she was new (and I know it was because she was) She looking into every little thing, and made sure that T's were crossed and I's were dotted, spoke with the docs in her practice as well as both my pulmonary and rheumatologist docs to make sure they got and had exactly what they wanted and needed. Love her. She is now and will be forever more MY eyeball doc. Holy smokes Congrats on your great loss. Melissa. You copy cat ! I had a 3# loss yesterday! (Let's keep copying each other that way! LOL It feels great!) Raining thunder/lightning here right now. (I love booming storms). Morning Penny! I love bad kitties too...my kitty is mostly just "naughty" sometimes. But we love our Tillie... |
|
HI KERI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Unfortunately I can't access your video from work :-( so I'll check it out later!. I have/had a "bad" kitty too. Only she was a bad kitty because she wanted to be the only kitty. I didn't know that. So over the course of the last 14 years, the other three wonderful kitties died, and now "Precious (from H*LL)" kitty is the last one standing - and she is now the sweetest cat in the world. No more really bad kitty outbreaks!. Yes, Keri, let's keep copying each other - I love seeing the numbers go down every week!!!! :-). Melissa.. |
|
Congrats on your loss.
Keri. ! I'm hoping to join the 3 lb group on Friday!. Penny. - Are you going to make anymore of those dangly chimey silver necklaces? I loved it! I am going to buy myself some Etsy in about 14 more lbs!.. |
|
I uploaded a pic of my naughty kitty to my page, but I don't know how to drop it into a post. (Technology is leaving me behind LOL) As we speak, she has curled herself up into a tight knot of black fur and purring in front of the window. No playing outside this morning in the rain for her!..
|
|
Morning.
Debra. And. Tracey. !!. Debra, to cap on yesterdays thread...I'm with Freya I have to say... I am a sodium gal... sweet sludge was there, but it was mostly the savory sludge that was a problem for me... |
|
Yes! Please do! (Its a weeke to week membership ! LOL I hope to be in the club next Monday too!..
|
|
Don't get me wrong...I love salty things...I love salt in general. My body, on the other hand, HATES IT!!! I swell up like a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon when I eat a lot of sodium...
|
|
Good morning everyone!.
I think my high speed internet needs the coffee as much as me this am... working, not working, working, not working. Frustrating!. Melissa- Awesome job on the 3lbs!. TKD- Woohoo for a new decade! You are going great!. Debra- Hope the rash goes away. I've had some weird TOM issues & cramps at not the right time too since starting MF. It's like it's messin with my system.. Zoe- Your bad kitty comments made me laugh.. Morning, Keri & Penny!. I'm weighing in a few minutes, so I'll be back later to post my news. Also, is there a limit to the MIO stuff? It's just sooo good, so I figure there's got to be a limit.. Have a great day!. Deidra.. |
|
Hey.
Keri. Your bad kitty is just beautiful!!!!! I'll have to go upload a pic of Precious.. Melissa.. |
|
Good Morning knitty - and good luck with your weigh in!!! I haven't heard of a mio limit yet - I drink it a LOT and so far, so good!!!!..
|
|
Morning.
Deidra. ! I haven't tried the MIO yet. I think I'm going to pick some up this weekend. It would be nice to have something flavored to drink every once in a while. I have a complete soda addiction and I'm trying to kick soda to the curb! Good luck on your WI!.. |
|
Morning tler's.
Wow! Look at you LOSER's! Congrats! Today is my WI day. -.4lbs here this week. I'm not complaining. Tom was an emotional train wreck this weekend.. I finally got my Free sample of MIO in the mail. They sent the strawberry one. I really like the Peach tea and Berry Pom.... Thank you for the coffee. I'm already on my third cup. I've been up since 5 to get Ds1 to driver's ed.. We don't have any bad kitties or pup's here. We have little Sugar gliders that like to nibble when they are excited or don't want to go back in their cage.. Penny- I did get your PM and PM'ed you back... |
|
Good morning Mia - I WANT SOME SUGAR GLIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG - I have never seen anything so cute in all my life. Well, ok, that may not be true - BUT are these hard to take care of???????????? DETAILS, MIA!!!!!!! Thanks..
Melissa.. |
|
ZoeCakes! I love it! I had one this morning, too. I still have my Moms favorite coffee cup (she passed away in 2005) and it's perfect for them..
Jennifer, awww! Thanks for liking my bracelets! I also made dangly pearl chain link earrings that match with the pearl one (winking at Melissa) If, when youre ready, the items you like are no longer there, just ask and Ill be happy to create something especially for you!. Debra, thank you, too, for checking out my site! I keep thinking about those silver dangles while Im here at work and then when I sit down with all of my stuff, Im drawn to the beads and I forget all about the wire stuff! Id love to do more of those. Tink, tink, tink! Theyre fun! I will get on that.. Tracey, it seems like we were just ushering you into the 250s! You go, girl!. Mia, I remember seeing "Sugar Babies" as they called them at a big expo in Albany. They were absolutely adorable! Emma was a baby and she got the biggest kick out of them! They are so snuggly and warm and soft!.. |
|
Morning lovelies, arrived in California, mostly uneventfully. Have a great day..
|
|
I have a picture on my page of Jacob. I have better pic's but I don't know how to get them on here..
They are very easy to care for. It does take time for them to bond to you. Athena and Jacob love to sleep in my hoodie when I'm home... |
|
Oh Anna, good to hear you're ok!!!!!.
Penny, I'll be by later to check out the pearls! I LOVE me some pearls!!!!! Work is calling - I'll be back soon.. Melissa.. |
|
Morning TL!.
Good gravy! 32 posts when I stumble in the office caffeine deprived and foggy! So far this flare up seems to be more mental than physical, which happens sometimes. I don't get depressed, per se, but I can get into a funk for no reason. But, coming here always cheers me up and, and makes me smile.. Sorry I can't do shout outs in the mornings, but my brain doesn't kick into high gear for at LEAST another hour <laffin>.. |
|
Good lord people, I can't keep up. LOL. What's up with P-bucket? Gosh that's ghastly. Mid-year review today. Since I haven't updated the goal tracking tool, I'll probably flunk. LOL.
Laptop on my knee.. Sigh. ... |
|
Miss you posting on the thread MT!.
Penny's working on the Photobucket issue...... |
|
Good morning, everyone. Today's the big interview day! I'm dressing nicely because everyone (from the Career Planning office down to little piddly online websites) have recommended that I dress the part, even if they're not going to see me. Fun fact: the Career Planning office's research showed that employers are scarily good at figuring out where you are, what you're wearing, and what you're emoting even in a phone interview..
So, now I'm going to make my oatmeal and coffee to kick off the day, and hopefully I'll be less groggy soon!.. |
|
Haha! Thank you, Melissa! I didn't list them yet. I took pictures this morning. I have those, as well as this bracelet and another necklace..
Berry Pom Mio in Lipton Diet Green Tea with Citrus is da bomb... |
|
Holy cow Lovelies! Slow down..
I didn't get a chance to check in here till now at work. I woke up this morning at 3:00 am and couldn't fall back asleep. Blech. I need the coffee.. Penny - Love your animal print bracelet. Make lots. You will sell lots.. Mio - My new best friend. I will buy more this weekend.. Congrats to the losers. Lots of good losses.. No chopped tofu. I need coffee. Although I already drank one cup of coffee/hot cocoa and now there is a pile of hot coco muck on the bottom of my coffee cup. I admit, I don't like that part. Yuk. But I love my coffee/hot coco.. Oh and now I"m going to be singing "I don't wanna work.. wanna bang on the drum all day"... thanks Penny and De... |
|
I had hot cocoa muck, too. I ate it with a spoon. MMMmmmm......
|
|
Morning all! Waking up to coffee-chopped tofu later..
I'm down 2.4 for the week. So happy to have a good weigh in this week!.. |
|
Okay, I'm back... down 2 lbs for the week. I'm very happy that I've lost almost 30 lbs in 8 wks, but at the same time I have sooooo much to lose that I wish these steady 2 lb weeks were 3 lbs weeks. Don't get me wrong. I'm very much celebrating my loss, it's just that I can't even see the light at the end of the tunnel..
I'm trying to focus a little more on short term goals. My bday is Sat. My original goal by my bday was 20 lbs. Once I knew that was too low, I switched it to 30 lbs. So, I'm 3 days away and 2.6 lbs away. Not gonna happen. I'm taking Freya's advice to heart... float a frigate... I've been having a hard time getting my H20 in. Now with the MIO, I'm doing better. Maybe floating a frigate this week will help next week be a 3lb week.. Deidra.. |
|
Yeah Sassy!!!! Good job. I had hot cocoa for breakfast - YUM!!! I just keep stirring in the bottom stuff and drink it right down. I'm off to take care of Sarge and eat a pancake made in a shallow bowl: now known as the zoecake! :-) hmmm, might drizzle that with some WF chocolate syrup. I can say that here, right?.
Melissa.. |
|
Thanks Melissa!! It was a great reward for a terrible, awful emotional week.
Deidra, I HIGHLY recommend nixing any date-weight goals. I think those set people up for disaster and also focus on the negative of barely missing the goal rather than celebrating. 27.4 pounds gone!. The time will pass one way or another-I highly recommend enjoying life outside of weight loss and then just enjoy the weight falling off... |
|
High Five to all the losers today!!!.
Sassy - I have to agree with you on the date/goal thing. I have seen that derail many an MF'er over the years.. Melissa - Yes, WF stuff is op.. I like my cup-o-pancake with the WF pancake syrup. <sigh> Happy happy! I have learned over time to swirly my liquid Medifast meals in such a way that they stay mixed and the goop doesn't settle at the bottom. We used to call it the Medifast swirl, but it takes practice. hehe. But definitely WORTH IT!!. Diedra - I am all for using mio, but make sure that you get as much plain water down as you can... |
|
My lunch was something so weird and wonderful - I've made shakes with less than enough water so they're goopy. Sometimes I just want goopy. Today I did the same thing with chai latte. It's oddly effervescent. Must be why it bubbles up when I try to make a shake cake with it. Anyway, I added about half a squirt of Mio - berry pomegranate.
And satisfying!.. |
|
Yay for all the big losers today!.
Well my mystery cramps finally make sense...TOM showed his ugly face two days early. Boo. Hiss. No wonder I've felt bloated and miserable the past few days. And I guess I should apologize to poor Mr. Sodium for blaming it all on him!. Just finished my jello snack so I could take my Naproxen. Lunch is still an hour away. Hate wasting a snack when I'm not hungry...but I have to take my prescription as soon as TOM hits or the pain is unbearable. Fingers crossed that TOM is nice to me today!.. |
|
You may send her off on a wild binge now Freya! Bwahahahaha!..
|
|
Wow..busy TLers today..
Congrats to all the losers big and small. No clue who was what..too many of you losers.. Keri. , I love new docs and new RNs (and I am in the biz of hiring both) for the reason you said about your eye doc. Newly licensed folks have all the newest info, are on point so they don't make a mistake or miss something and tend to go the extra mile to cover every aspect. Of course, there are also benefits to great experience which is why all newbies have mentors on the job.. No such thing as a bad kitty.. Off to work I go..from the comfort of my bedroom on my bed..TV going (watching Curtis Stone on Top Chef Masters)... |
|
Freya and De: Yep and yep! Now I Have to get THAT thought out of my head!.
But, really, it was good!.. |
|
Please allow me to rephrase with no food metaphors. It's early yet, not all filters are yet firing:.
Penny is crazy as a loon. (Picturing Penny biting the heads off loons). Penny is off her rocker.. Penny is batsh** crazy. (No one wants to binge on that, right? RIGHT?). Penny is a few bricks short of a load.. Penny has flipped her lid.. Penny is stark raving mad.. Penny is mad as a hatter.. Penny is around the bend.. There. I said it. No one should ever be adding berry pom flavored stuff to chai, and drinking it gloppy. It's. Just. Wrong... |
|
Good morning ladies - overslept, kid overslept, we are both ridiculously dressed today for the weather - I thought it was sunny - it's raining - bad mommy - got the evil eye when I dropped her off at school..
Anyhow - new biz presentation at 11 at an ad agency. I am not a fan of ad agencies.. Wish me luck.. I'll catch up later. too many posts.... Xoxoo - teri.. |
|
May I have your mailing address? I have, um, a present for you. Please open the box as soon as it arrives, it will be hungry..
I love my bad kitty, but every vet who has seen him agrees that he has a kitty developmental disability.. He enthusiastically humps pillows, stuffed animals, human legs, and other cats, even though he was neutered at 6 months. He weighs 25 pounds but is not fat and is about the height of a cocker spaniel, maybe taller - he puts his paws on my waist to beg for food. He understands but shuns litterboxes and devices designed for scratching. I got Feliway, a spray to discourage his marking, and he pulled it out of the cabinet and peed on it. I put a food bowl in a place he had been peeing because "cats won't pee where they eat" and he peed in the food. He drinks out of the toilet, even if someone has forgotten to flush. My vet laughs as soon as she sees me come in with him.. He got the tip of his tail skinned accidentally, squawked once, and promptly forgot about it and went off to eat. At the ER vet, they quoted me a price of hundreds and hundreds of dollars to fix him up, but when I got there, the cost was next to nothing because he didn't need any anesthesia because he did not notice they were doing anything to his tail.. Of his redeeming qualities- he is the nicest animal in the world, tolerates everything, and seems to be a source of unending love and affection. He plays fetch better than the dog. He sits on command for treats. He has a heart a mile wide and a brain the size of a pea... |
|
Zoe, your cat sounds hilarious. I don't know how you put up with it, but bless your heart. What a nightmare!..
|
|
OMFSM!!! I don't know who has me laughing harder, Freya or Zoe!!.
ETA - Zoe has touched on every single reason I have no male animals besides the human ones in my house!.. |
|
Penny.
Gets the vocabulary award of the day for her use of effervescent.. Freya. Gets the metaphor award of the day for her listing of phrases equivalent to crazy. She would be a great teammate in. Outburst. .. Congrats on the losses,. Melissa. ,. TKD. ,. Sassy. And. Diedra. Did I miss anyone?.. |
|
Sounds like every man I've ever known..
Oh, wait. You're not talking about a man..... |
|
Zoe.
, that is hilarious. As you can see by my Avatar, I am fond of crazy, bad pets... |
|
Well. I would expect nothing less. We don't waste our MFin food, no matter what atrocities we have committed against it...
|
|
Penny.
, I think we were good until the berry pomegranate - then ya lost me!!!! Glad you enjoyed it. My zoecake was DELICIOUS!!!! Penny, if you like goopy, make a pudding shake with WF marshmellow dip - O. M. G.!!!!! As long as I'm not freezing I love that shake!!! Sending you a thank you pm shortly!!!!!. Knitty. Congrats on the loss!!!!! We are such a great bunch of losers in this place, I just love it!!!!!. Melissa.. |
|
Zoe, you have made me fall in love with your hardheaded dolt of a cat!.
I'm thrilled beyond words that I was able to get an appointment with my neurosurgeon in only TWO days! Before you let your visions of lobotomies and shock treatments run wild, it's for my ankle and foot cramps!. I was doing a little recreational reading (self-cyber-diagnosing) and learned that the area on which I had spine surgery five and a half years ago is home to the nerves that control the muscles that are causing me not to sleep due to their middle-of-the-night tantrums.. What they'll plan to do remains a mystery to me, even after reading about the various forms of treatment. Could be another surgery, could be a shot... I'm fortunate that my neuro is tops in his field and that I have absolutely NO qualms about agreeing to anything he recommends. I have got to get some sleep... |
|
Penny.
, I am so glad you are getting into see your neurosurgeon so soon. <crosses fingers>. So if anyone is bored and/or interested, here is what I have done as part of that big project due in my class this Saturday -. Http://prezi.com/zc5zrlipwyjg/commun...ring-students/. Now I just need to wait for. De. To come along and tell me she would rather watch paint dry or grass grow... |
|
Wow, Penny, that sounds encouraging. I know my occasional calf cramp ruins hours of my life. I am so sorry you've been plagued by them..
Maybe once you're sleeping again you'll stop hallucinating that that muck tastes good... |
|
Not at all Carolyn! I actually found that very interesting...
|
|
OMG, ok - I give! Zoe, Steph, Freya, Penny - if you make me laugh out loud at work one more time I'm going to p** in my pants. Thanks, really. I have to run to the ladies room NOW!!!!!..
|
|
Carolyn, that's VERY cool! Good for you! Helping kids is the coolest thing anyone can do..
Freya, yeah, this has been almost nightly for years. It's just gotten worse and the cramps have gotten worse. It starts with a little twitch. Then a little stronger. And then my toe is pointing at the ceiling and I'm jumping out of bed, scaring the p*ss out of the cat and my husband. And it's such a weird group of small - but powerful - muscles, I know it's not due to strain or overuse. I don't get any other cramps. It was just a matter of getting my nerve up. Sleep deprivation and me are mortal enemies... |
|
Just for future reference Melissa - you would type that as ROFLMAOPIMP!! <snicker>..
|
|
Public Service Announcement!.
Speaking of peeing in your pants, did you know it is very, very hard to hold your bladder 100% effectively when jumping rope? Leaks are common among females. To prevent any dribbling, be sure to pee immediately beforehand if jump roping in a group workout. Wearing black pants is also helpful... |
|
Also nearly impossible to hold it while running alongside a seven year old learning to ride a bike. That's what I heard, anyway..
I'm off, kids! Well, you already knew that... |
|
Update on Eagles. I sorta forgot about them. They are SO cute right this very second. Mom is feeding them, but no grossness laying around...
|
|
Well, the interview is over... I feel like it could have gone better. She asked me questions about working in groups and difficult coworkers where I thought "***, I'm in college! I haven't really had these kinds of experiences!" so I had to BS a little... and that's always annoying when you're trying to put your best foot forward..
Time to move on, regardless of the outcome..... |
|
Well, Claire. It's over. One more thing to stop stressing over and cross off your list..
Susan - Snnnooorrrreeeee............ |
|
My stewpid meter just went into the red zone!! OMFSM!!!.
Here's the scoop for all of you who did not know this. Liquid sucralose (liquid artificial sweeteners) count as condiments. 3 DROPS = 1 condiment. HOWEVER, Diet soda does NOT count towards anything because they use small amounts of liquid artificial sweeteners. REALLY???. It's bad enough to hear swill like this come from people who don't know better, but when it comes from NS, it's just beyond disappointing.. OK. [/rant].. |
|
Getting ready to be unemployed - today's edition: hemorrhaging money. Just bought a Dell and MS Office. *sigh*.
I've been using my work laptop for everything, so it had to be done!.. |
|
Claire, I bet you did better than you think. We are so often our own worst critic..
My nose is running and I'm craving fish. The events are not related... |
|
Thanks,.
Carolyn. I like to think I'm a realist about my own abilities, but it's true that it might have gone better than I thought.. De. : Whaaat? Which one is right? Now I'm freaking out, because I drink a TON of diet soda and never count it as a condiment... No wonder my weight loss is such a fail.. Freya,. I'm getting ready to be unemployed, too... if it makes you feel any better... strength in numbers?.. |
|
FYI -.
Photobucket customers,. We again apologize for the issues some of you are experiencing, and for not having fully resolved the issue as of yet. We want to make sure we are keeping you up-to-date on what is happening and what we are doing to fix the problem as quickly as possible.. We experienced a problem with a portion of our infrastructure, which affected the ability for some users to log in and access their account. We immediately began maintenance to fix the problem, and have been working diligently to get things running again as quickly as possible. However, due to the sheer number of files and the enormous amount of data involved, this is taking a significant amount of time and much longer than we initially anticipated.. Please know that we are doing everything possible to restore service as quickly as possible. We understand your frustration and we will continue to update you as we get better estimates around a completion time.. Thank you for your patience,. Jim Goss. VP of Operations.. |
|
Well, the diet soda COULD be causing your stall, but not because it's a condiment. They have always maintained that diet soda doesn't need to be counted, but should be limited. I would definitely start cutting back and see if that doesn't make a difference..
I was just dumbfounded at their contraction.. Carolyn - Thanks for sharing... |
|
Claire.
, I figured you decided to pop off with a swear word. I come from a family of swearers, so I was okay with it.. De. , I was checking Medifast posts to pass the time and to see if I could glean any new info, but it's just too frustrating when they contradict each other and themselves, so done done done like an over cooked piece of meat.. Freya. , check your PM for an interesting idea on your office suite.. Carolyn. , I have been craving fish too. I think I've had it 4 out of 5 dinners lately. No runny nose though... |
|
I came home and waiting in my mailbox was my free sample of Mio! Strawberry Watermelon. I am enjoying it in some ice cold bottled water as we speak. Or type. I'm thinking how awesome this would be frozen and then zipped up in my Ninja!.
Wrapped aroung the outside of the Mio box was my first issue of Step-by-Step Wire magazine which makes me happier than the Mio did! Yippity Skippity!. My three newest items are up and listed, my credit union rocks, and life is good.. Carolyn, here's a tissue. I think I'm making flounder for dinner. Wanna come over?.. |
|
Penny - Now I'm excited to get home and check my mail!.

Partial update to eye doctor drama:.
Assistant HuffnPuff McStankface called and was a condescending little ahole, charming doctor would not talk to me, so I requested the office or practice manager. I had a long talk with her.
