a new aide
 

she is 65 and nice. we had trouble emptying the vacuum cleaner and putting it back together. she finally figured out how to use the swiffer. marcia did such a good job on tuesday there was little to do. I didn't have her dust or anything or clean the bathroom because it was clean. I will see what happens. she lives in a five flight walk up.

That's good news!

I hope everything works out with her, Bobby.

she doesn't have much energy and she isn't a self starter but she is nice and gentle

How are you doing, Bobby?:)

I have been really depressed and don't feel well. I am constantly tired and in bed most of the time. I am too tired to exercise. I just got the south beach diet today. If only i could lose fifty pounds. I have been spending like a maniac.
bet you wished you haven't asked/ figured out a way to take my pills. I separate one at night and then after I take them in the morning put them together. then after I take them at night separate one and repeat.

I'm sorry you are feeling so badly, Bobby :hug::hug::hug:

But you you have to find a way to get out of bed if you can so that you don't lose the progress you made at PT and find yourself at risk of falling so much again :hug::hug::hug:
I know that when you are depressed that may seem impossible... :hug:

If you follow the rules of the South Beach Diet, you should lose quite a bit of weight in stage 1. In stage 2, the diet is easier to follow, but weight loss slows down a little. I hope that when you start losing weight, you will be happier with yourself :hug::hug::hug:

I don't understand what you said about taking your meds...

i separate one bottle from the rest at night, that way i know i haven;t taken my morning meds. In the morning i out them all together and then separate one when I am finished. I might make an appt with the pdoc, i am si deoressed. I am wrecking the sbd. I am eating all the candy. I must be gaunung weught, I am drinking ciffee, One little half and lalf

they sent me an extra package because they forgot to cancel the first one.

I think it's a good idea for you to call your pdoc, Bobby. You sound very depressed :hug::hug::hug:

It's not refundable. Hopefully they won't try to charge you for it. If they do try, tell them you won't pay for their mistake.

Know when you start this diet, that phase 1 won't last forever. Knowing that has helped me a lot. You don't have to be perfect in order to lose weight, but it will be a big adjustment.

i am going to get a free month'

good luck bobby!

i have no will

If you have no will power, you should rid your apartment of all the things you shouldn't be eating and buy healthier things to eat instead in case you binge. I don't know what kind of things that you like that you can have on the diet, but I'm sure you know that bread, potatoes, fruit, etc are out.

Fudgsicle makes No Added Sugar fudge pops that I think are fantastic and only have 40 calories each, sugar-free jello is very low in calories, and raw veggies like cucumbers and celery have high water content and would be fine. Even if you have more cooked veggies, mozzerella sticks, or hard-boiled eggs, they are better than binging on other things.

You don't have to be perfect, but things will be easier if you remove the temptations :hug::hug::hug:

what they sent me had chocolate bars, popcorn, a few cookies soI am eating them. once i am through withthem i can try my own form of the diet. I am having coffee but with only a tiny bit of milk. I can't throw out the candy.
Other than the sbd I don't have anything in the house

Have you tried their meals yet? Are they good?
Look at the labels on the "chocolate bars." Some may be snack bars, and some may be "meal replacement bars," which you don't want to snack on.

I drink a lot of coffees, and have a splash of skim milk in all of them.

Modifying the diet to suit your needs sounds like a good idea to me.. If you don't see the results you want, you can always change the diet up again.

the meals are okay and i have skipped some. I think the candy makes me go to the bathroom. wonder if they put something in it. I am afraid to look at the calories/ I am using some of the candy as milk replacements too.
Love

Possibly the sugar alcohols -- sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, isomalt, hydrogenated starch hydrolysates.

I just got on the scale and lost a couple of pounds-weird I am so depressed.
all i want to do is be alone. I am looking forward to the superbowl and abby is being exceptionally friendly.I don't know what is wrong with me. the stock market is crashing which is distressing but I have been waiting for it. I am all itchy.

yes it is the sugar alcohol in them that made me have so much gas and D.
Remember when I ate all of that sugar free candy?
I was up until 2am before I felt safe enough to go to bed.
It was terrible.
I believe that sugar alcohol makes you crave sweets.
At least that is what it did for me.
never again.

I agree with the girls. Even some of the stevia has some in it.

What kind of candy are you eating and how often?

I'm glad that Abby is being more attentive :hug:

it has so much protein I skip meals and have them. I lost another pound. I am always afraid to look.I don't feel bloated or anything

Yes, they are good meal replacement bars.
I know the diets are not the same, but I bought the Atkins meal-replacement bars for Corey and have tried some myself. They are expensive, but not as expensive as the ones from South Beach if you are not on their meal plan.

I just bought some kellogg from jet. they were 92 cents a bar.I hope i like them. Iherb sells atkins at a discount

What kind of Kellog did you buy? Is it consistent with the South Beach diet?

i think it has more sugar but it says it is replacement meal

Kellogg's Special K Protein Chocolatey Brownie Dessert-Inspired Meal Bar, 5 Ct

They look good.

They look good, but they're not consistent with the South Beach Diet plan. You're not supposed to have that much sugar if you're going to follow that diet. The Atkins meal replacement bars are expensive, but would be a better substitute if you don't want to buy the South Beach bars.

atfkins is cheaper at iherb but I forgot how much Search - atkins - iHerb.com

I bought mine on Amazon. They were not cheap.
