  1. Happy Birthday, Donna !
  2. Hello everyone, Hello Meg, glad you've joined us. Hi Liz, sorry to hear about your aunt. I'm sure ti'll be nice for your Mom to have you there with her. Also, Liz, your food lixt always makes me hungry. Pasta Salad? Do you use Tinkyada? I've found that it's a little stiff if it's not heated up. Scuze typo's: I'm having a tough time typing - burned...
  3. I was wondering exactly what a herx was too. Thanks for clearing that up.
  4. Well, it looks like I'm inspired too. Let's see how long it lasts. Fridays are good, but I think I'll give you my waist size rather than weight. That's what I'm working toward - a 29-30 inch waist. I don't think my weight will change too much if I'm gaining muscle at the same time. Last time I did this, I lost 3 inches around the middle and only a few...
  5. I hear ya ! I've completely cluttered up my head in this thread and I'm trying to work it out. I like it here - lots of interesting info, interesting people. Have lots of questions, but I'll get to that later. Mostly here to say - Have good days all
  6. I'm not going to get myself in trouble again on this topic, but celiac or not - everything you put in your mouth is going to cause some action to take place. I think MSG is a bad idea. I don't mess with it anymore.
  7. Hey there Liz, I'm glad to hear that you're still working out at the community center. That sounded like a pretty sweet deal for you. Sorry you've not lost more weight, but there's no time like the present to turn it around. So, let's get some accountability going here. Me: I'm going to give it my best shot. I dropped out last time out of sheer embarrassment...
  8. Having looked back at this, I can see the confusion now. What I wanted to say was: Yaay - I don't know what 5 + 5 means ... Sorry I laughed.
  9. Sorry for laughing, but it's the 5+5 thing I don't understand. Give me a little credit
  10. Yaay - I don't know what it means, but totally asymptomatic has to be good. Well, I've been thinking: What I really need is an avatar that says "ME". It's entitled "another attempt gone bad". It's very appropriate, actually. Waikiki surf lessons October 2006. I've decided that when we do it this year, I'll be stronger - faster ( ...
  11. Look Up Tom ^^ two posts. You'll find that nothing has changed k
  12. I'm tellin' you man, don't let that sort of thing fool you. It wasn't two hours later (just in case you didn't notice), after thinking about the effort that went into doing that, I decided to put it in my signature - in a sincere effort to avoid ever having to undertake that daunting task again. Whew !
  13. Good Morning, Would it be out of line for a new girl to send hugs? HUGS Thanks again. I'm going to take this nice 'n slow. What's the rush, after all? I've had these damn things in my mouth for 30 years. From what I've seen here, I'll need to 86 the smoking (cigarettes, ay) before I venture into this. I've got another...
  14. Hello all - hope you're doing well. I've been reading about things (here - in Rachelville) Rachel (or anyone else with suggestions), I'm really thinking about checking into my mercury levels. I can't help but want to know where I fall in this. There's maybe 10 reasons why mercury would make sense in my case. Question - what sort of...
  15. It's a rare day that I complain about the weather in SD. A little May Gray here ... A little June Gloom there...it doesn't get much better than this, in my opinion. Love, love, love it !
  16. Update on San Diego (about 10 minutes off the coast) - A few hours later, it's a perfect day ... not a cloud in the sky ! 71 or so & awesome !
  17. Oh, Rachel, you've had a tough go of it, haven't you? Thank you for telling me about your experience & everything else. I'm sorry you've been dealing with all of this. I can see that it's worth taking some time to make sure I do this right. The nutritional support part is something I wasn't expecting, but makes sense that it will be an important part...
  18. Good Morning, So, there's a real, actual reason I'm here. It's not to confess all my sins. It's about my amalgams at this point. I've been instructed not to 'go back' into the thread, so I'm starting here, if you'd be so kind: Do I need to go to some special type of dentist or will my regular dentist be good enough? Is there a ballpark on...
  19. You know, I've actually been really concerned about this. I thought maybe there was something wrong with my brain. I'm relieved to know that this isn't another example of my aversion to anything that involves effort. I'ts not that it's completely out of the question that my 'lifestyle' has exacerbated the problem, but it's good to know that my brain...
  20. Well, in that case, I may have a rough time of it here in Rachelville. Rachelling and carlaing are apparently not my specialty. I've rarely been accused of overdoing it and I have no discipline whatsoever. Don't get me wrong: it's not that I don't care...it's just that I'm really lazy. I don't expect that this should change any time soon. I've grown...
  21. Thanks much. I've been checking this thread every once in a while - it's interesting and amusing, but really long. I'm curious about this metal toxicity thing, so I'll be back, I'm sure. But this thread ... I wouldn't know where to begin. Take care, k
  22. 'Scuze me for buttin in, but I just happened to see this. Christine, I have proteinurea. I take those tests every 4 months. I have a condition called Minimal Change Disease / Nephrotic Syndrome (A kidney disease) - Dx'd by chance during a physical exam 4 years ago. There's another one on the board too. But, MCD is only one of many reasons why you...
  23. You know, bubble-boy, you make good sense. I certainly can't argue with your track record. I'll probably step back into the bubble the next time I get glutened & am reminded of ... things.
  24. I've finally come to accept that risks are part of eating anywhere but my own kitchen, but you can't live in a bubble (well, maybe you can, but what fun is that?). Minimizing the risk is my strategy. I'm taking it slow. I went to Outback this week. My first restaurant in 7 months. I was terrified, but it was worth the risk. Sometimes, you just have...
  25. If I had a dime for every time ... my sister does this to me all the time at her house - or: "O M G, this is sooo good - Mmmmmm" - while I'm eating brocolli. I find myself looking at her like she's an alien - you know that blank stare of quandry. I just can't imagine why they do this. Do they forget? Are they just @$$es? I don't even react anymore...
