I want to try it real bad Wendy but am actually afraid of what it might do to my nervous system. It would be worth $40 to lose some weight! Froggie

I am afraid of the side effects. I am fearful of having an accident due to my bladder problem but THIS kind of accident would be too much to bear whether it be in a group of friends or at the mall.
I guess if someone I knew took it (hint, hint Froggie lol) and tested it and said, "DO IT" I would but only if I was staying close to home for a month. $40 eh, now too bad. Is that for a month's supply?? How is everyone this morning? I had a full night's sleep and for me that's anything 6+ hrs. But woke up in a lot of pain at 5:30 and it's still going strong. I'm up and cleaning, however. The painters left a mess. Speaking of painters. Do any of you remember when I had my main bathroom painted yellow and it turned out HELLO I'M YELLOW!! Well, we've had our new doors and all the trim in the house painted so we decided now is the time to fix the color. I found some very pretty light yellows, knowing that even 2 coats might still turn out brighter because of what it was covering. But noooooo, my husband went up 2 shades on the color wheel and guess what - yup HELLO I'M YELLOW!! is back I could not believe it. At first I was steaming mad but then when I looked at his face when he saw it, I cracked up. It's a little lighter so it's staying. WHAT COLORS SHALL I USE IN MY DECORATING TO SOFTEN IT? Blues? You know, I figured that if the worst of my problems is the color of my bathroom, I should be happy. So everyone, I hope you have a happy day. Love, Nancy |

nancy, I was thinking white or cream for for accent color - but if you don't want white/cream towels - maybe mostly white with stripes or a light colored design on the towels/accessories.
Probably stay with pastels as accents or it might make the yellow jump out even more?? I usually buy the mis mixed paints for $5 a gallon then buy a white base to "make" the color to what I like. But I alway have to add more white after testing it on the wall because it dries darker. Even if it nearly looks white in the can - I put it on the wall and poof there's color there!

I took the prescription med of it Xenical. It is not like a diet pill. It wont do anything like making you nervous. It takes out fat from your diet with an oily substance. Diet pills have caffine to keep your energy up so you will not need to eat.
