Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / March 2004Now I'm starting to feel better too!
I spent the whole weekend sleeping, resting and watching tv hoping to get better by today. I woke up this morning NOT CONGESTED, NOT COUGHING AND FEELING BETTER! Yippee... I drank about 15 cups of water on both Sat and Sun. Not only that, but my lack of appetite helped me to break my stall and lose 2 more pounds.... I ate about 1300-1500 calories a day for 5 days in a row. I usually eat about 1500-1700 with exercise. I'll head to the gym tonight and work out with light weights. I don't want to start back on cardio until I am fully healed and can breath normally. 284/210/199/??? 210- a number I saw only briefly last month! -- Email me at: perpleglow(AT)comcast.net Glad you're feeling better, PG. Take it easy on the exercise. Beverly > I spent the whole weekend sleeping, resting and watching tv hoping to get > better by today.

I got this bug the other day and feel like I have flem or something hanging on my bronchial tubes. It's kind of irritating because I want to cough and it hurts a little. Anyway congrats on losing the two pounds. I took yesterday off for exercise and will start again today.

I feel like I am drowning in flem, sorry for being so graphic. Although I am feeling better, my husband isn't letting me go to gym tonight. He wants me to heal up another night. Hope you get better! > Hello Perple, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Paul > 300/207/175 I guess I will save ya'll a seat here at the 200 lb mark.

We all stall at times but those pounds will finally realize we mean business and fade away.

It just is a shame (losing weight speaking only lol) that we are women and it is harder for us to lose then men... > I guess I will save ya'll a seat here at the 200 lb mark.

Yippee... It sounds like a wheat allergy detox just finished. > Not only that, but my lack of appetite helped me to break my stall and > lose 2 more pounds.... So the stall may have been from wheat causing bloating? I am not sure about the wheat theory or not. I am feeling better, but still draining a lot and couging up gunk. Not to be too graphic, but a lot of what I am coughing up and sniffling up is yellowish, which is a clear sign of infection. I am going to get allergies tested. I am off wheat and soy since last Friday. I do notice much less bloating, but I think it is because I am not eating bran buds every day (13 grams of fiber a serving). > > I woke up this morning NOT CONGESTED, NOT COUGHING AND > > FEELING BETTER!

Take away several foods, see a problem reduce, and you don't know if one of those foods caused the problem or something else. The key will be adding those foods back in one per week, one at a time, and see if the symptoms come back. Symptoms coming back are far easier to notice than symptoms going away, and adding things in one at a time lets you know the exact cause instead of getting a list and wondering which it was. One week soy only, one week wheat only, one week both. > I am feeling better, but still > draining a lot and couging up gunk.

It could just be old congestion slowly emptying out. That's my hope at this point. That is gets both darker and less quantity then in about 1-2 weeks you empty out and it goes away. > I am going to get allergies tested. I am off wheat and soy > since last Friday.

Soluble fiber is digested by intestinal bacteria and causes bloating. Remove the grain that is the source of the fiber, remove the bloating. If that's the cause anyways. You could test this by supplying a different source of soluable fiber. Do beans cause you bloating? Take your time in your experiment. You're doing great.

I started another round of antibiotics last night. The Zpac didn't work out well, so now I am on Levoquin. I am feeling a little better and can talk more... but I still don't feel great. > It's a sign of infection but not a certain one. It could just be > old congestion slowly emptying out.

I usually don't have sinus issues like this, unless the pollen counts are hugs. The allergist will be able to help me figure it out. > > I am going to get allergies tested.

I've been eating more servings of them mixed with my spinach salads since I decided to give up on wheat for a bit. > Take your time in your experiment. You're doing great. Again, thanks!! I'm glad you're feeling better :-). You're wise to wait until you're fully recovered before resuming cardio, in my experience. Chris 262/157/ (holding in 152-165 weight class) |
