Rose: as to your question about Alli: I know people who have used it (comes in Over-the-counter strength and Prescription str). If you follow the diet plan VERY strictly-no fat at all, you lose weight pretty fast. I don't know too many people that can eliminate fat entirely-it's in everything. If you don't eliminate fat, you better hope and pray that you're near a bathroom all the time!! It ain't pretty--as the ad says: side effects include watery oily discharge> In other words, not to be gross but it's like constant diarrhea leaking out. Sorry to those that are eating, but it's true.
Hope everyone is doing better than I am this month. Once this seasonal depression lifts (soon I hope) I'll be back on track and challenging you all for those FQs. Have a healthy day-Jan
Jan: Thanks for being one of our resident virtual nurses. I always feel like we are getting the clinical truth when you speak. Isn't the seasonal depression supposed to lift during the St. Patrick's Day celebration. Wear green, drink green beer and be happy. Ready again to face those weight loss challenges and perhaps win some fat quarters. I sure hope you haven't given up on the month of March. Maybe we can all renew our resolve once St. Patrick's Day is over.
I know it is hard to get through the seasonal depression, anyone out there have any suggestions that may help those who suffer from it?
