Gwamma, our trip has changed a bit - we now have 9 days and a rental car in the LA region. I'm nervous about driving, too - but I reckon I'll be OK in the US because of my anxiety, then I'll be a...

H Daisy. I don't have any answers, sorry. I'm in much the same boat - ketosis is the only thing that really works for me in terms of symptom control (IBS), weight loss and a normal appetite. But no...

Nah, I kept trying til I exploded :rolleyes:. It took a night of very little sleep, followed by a fairly stressful day and staying in a hotel. I started with the biscuits at morning tea, progressed...

I'm lurking more than posting these days, too. HFLC didn't work for me - again. I lose weight, lose bloating, and lose the will to live. The rebound when I start carbs again is bloody awful - my mood...

What a stupid hour of the day (night) to be writing a journal entry :(. I've eaten too much! I've had some really busy days, and was exhausted tonight. I had enough dinner, possibly even a bit much...

Haha, we did the 'guesstimate' thing, too, to start with. Looked at driving from Chicago to Toronto - it's just around the other side of the lake, after all. When we googled it, it's like 29 hours of...

Eek, I just googled 'weed, seed and feed' to see what information is out there about this protocol - and my journal came up! Maybe I'll change my avatar if this stuff is so public!

Anyway, it's...

I'm just back from the herbalist, and feeling positive. She said all the right things, especially that pretty much all health problems start in the gut! She also didn't try to convince me to go...

ROFLMAO - I'm gonna give you that point :D

You win, Gwamma

Oh, and I have a 30 year old daughter and 3 granddaughters . . . top that one, sistah :cool:

Crap . . . OK, I'm completely grey under my bottle brown hair

My last period was almost a decade ago . . .

Thanks Gwamma - it's silly to feel so upset when they don't even know me!

You know what else is silly? Calling a woman Gwamma when she's younger than me :p

I have a few things to count down to - my birthday is first :eek:, then I have 3 months of study leave :cool:, and during that I have the trip to the US :D. I start back at work after the leave on 1...

I'm averaging a post about every three weeks this year, lol. Oh well . . .

I'm back on the ketosis plan. It seems that no matter what else I try, this is the only consistent way to deal with the...

Hell yeah - I've never been in a mosh pit, but as long as the band is good, we'd be the hottest old chicks there :cool:

Hey, Gwamma - we're in the US in May as well! Flying in to Chicago in mid-May, driving to Urbana-Champaign (love the name) for a conference, then driving to Toronto to visit a university there, and...

I'm in, too! I tried this last year when PB started her thread, but got derailed. I have IBS, dairy, fodmap and nut intolerances, and lots of weight to lose. This woe has been the only successful...

I wish we could rearrange the entire training scheme for health professionals - and then force the current workforce to get with the new programme. But until then, it's an exercise in frustration and...

I'm in health care too - a lecturer and researcher. As I see it, there are a couple of things to consider here - firstly, you're a med student. You have no relationship with the patients, a very...

In answer to your question, yes I did try the Paleo Code. It's a good programme, I think, if you're inclined to be patient and work through the process. He's very systematic and has a good knowledge...

Back at work today, and in full technology mode. My ankle is still bruised and weak - it has no 'give' in it at all, and when I stand on uneven ground it can't hold me steady. I'm trying to find a...

Hi everyone, and Happy New Year!

I'm breaking my self-imposed technology embargo, just because I feel sorry for myself today :(. The holiday has been going really well, with lots of rest,...

Hi kiwis :). I'm just stopping by to wish you all a very happy summer. I'm still off the diet sodas, and haven't replaced that addiction with anything else either :p.

I'll catch up with you all...

Just checking in . . . I'm trying to avoid computers unless I'm working (and I seem to be working all hours at the moment). I'm still completely sweetener free :). We bought a soda stream, so I'm...
