Awesome target, Woody! I'm sure you can do it!

My target is to weigh 77 kilos which will put my BMI at 23.5. That's another 14 kilos to go (2 stones, 3 lbs) - so our target loss is almost exactly the same!

We are both going to do this! Anyone else in?

 

[Woody76]

It must be fate that our targets are so similar lol xxx

 

[Woody76]

How is everyone doing it's very quiet on here xxx

Tonight we are going to a dining in the dark dinner. I've also gained 4 lbs. whoops! Just got back from boxing, gotta get those 4 lbs off plus 4 more! Work is busy this week and I just picked up another private client which is great! Hope all is well with y'all.

You can get that weight off Neisie. Sometimes family time is more important xx

Agreed.

Hi guys,
Hope you are all well. I have had an interesting couple of days. I have developed horrendous burps. At night I can lay on my back and watch my stomach grow with gas. Tummy goes rock hard then I have to sit up and it roars upwards and outward! Diet not changed at all so unsure of reason why this has suddenly developed. So bizarre and so not attractive lol.

 

[Neisie]

Oh no, Kismet! Did you try washing your balloon with soda water? I've had the hard, swollen, gas-filled belly many times. It's no fun and a bit freaky as I look preggo when it happens.

If it makes you feel any better I've gone over 5 days without a poop. I can't eat now as I vomit bc there's no room for it to go and I'm gaining bc the 5 days of food are just stuck in there. I took 4 Dulcolax last night. Nothing. Tried Senna, Dulcolax, Movicol, LaxaClear, PlantaLax Tea, and several enemas. Nothing. Tomorrow I'm going for colon hydrotherapy, which I'm quite against, as I see no other end to all of this. Plus it's $200. No offense, but I don't think hosing water up my arse should cost $200!!!!

 

[Woody76]

Oh no Kismett hope u feel better soon. I have been lucky so far just small burps for me but smelly lol. Could it be a certain food???

Neisie hope you feel better soon are u drinking plenty of water. I was told constipation can occur if not drinking enough but yours sounds extreme.

I have gained 2lbs in last few days but my eating has been terrible so new day tommorow and fresh start. It was payday today so large healthy shop done so no excuses lol xx

Xxxx

I'm drinking at least two liters a day. Plus I've really added extra bc of the lack of pooping. I think I've got a blockage or something. I almost threw up at work tonight after water; not good.

Tomorrow is payday for us, too. Will hit the grocery store and stock up on cucumbers and other negative calorie foods!

 

[kismet68]

Well girls we are in a pickle lol.
Neisie, hope they sort out your blockage soon it really does sound extreme and it must be awful not being able to keep things down. I have tried soda water, tonic water, flat water and they continue. They are easing up a bit, Sunday was the worse night, you'd think I was a yo- yo as was sitting up ever 30 minutes.
Woody it's not diet as not had/introduced anything new so not sure why.
Have dosed myself up with domperidone which seems to help.
My pay days Friday going to Harry potter world as a treat then supper somewhere nice
xx

 

[Neisie]

So, that was $200 well spent. She got the blockage out so my tummy is back to being flabby instead of a bowling ball It wasn't wet or gross or painful (as I had feared) and it did the trick. Plus, I just came home and had a natural poop! OMG! It's like the Heavens are shining down on me Added bonus: I got some rockin' new spectacles!

 

[Neisie]

Argh! Not sure why the pic loaded twice, and sideways. Weird.

 

[Woody76]

Glad u feeling better Neisie

Looking good in your picture xx

 

[mamalishious]

Your always so funny. Hope u enjoyed ur poop!

 

[Woody76]

Ok had a bad couple of days. Eaten too much and not the right things coz feeling rubbish. This has caused me to feel even more rubbish. When will I learn to stop doing this to myself. I have to pull this back. I am not going through all of this with the balloon to then find that I fail. I will not let myself.

How is everyone else doing xx
