I spoke to two lawyers, and they told me that nothing could be done to
the mental hospital, which gave me a drug with two contraindications,
causing migraine, hallucinations and sleepwalking, or the police
officers who left my 15-year-old with a loaded gun, which was stolen by
one of her friends.

The hospital sent me a lawyer, but because of the effects of the drug
that they gave me, I could not understand anything that he said at the
time. The drug, BTW, was called Cymbalta, and the two contraindications
were history of migraine and currently taking an MAOI. According to
Lilly's own television commercial, I could have died from it.

I really miss my husband sometimes. He could have kept all of this from
happening, but he's the only truck driver we have, and we can't afford
to hire another one and still make the payments on the truck, until we
get the balance paid down enough to buy a second one. I only see Tony
about 3-4 days a month.

Well, its been a little over two weeks since DLV,
and slowly getting back into my normal eating and
exercising routine.

Update: I'm down 9 pds since May 28, and now
at 191 pds. My belt size reflects this also.

I'll continue to reduce all portions, esp starch and
desserts. I'll probably move to salads a few times
a week.

A problem is several birthday dinners and pot lucks
coming up. Pot lucks are like buffets. There are alot
of desserts too.

There has only been one diet that worked for me over the years......
it's called the Purina Diet. What you do is buy a bag of Purina Dog
Chow and fill both your pockets with it each day. You just nibble on
the kibble all day long and the pounds drop off. It does have a severe
drawback though and I suffered a major injury because of it. Everything
was going fine for the first couple of months and I lost about 30 lbs.
but one day I stepped off the curb to sniff an Irish Setter's butt and
we both got hit by a car.

Caution should be observed.......................<bark>

Hi Ladies,

Welcome to the Biggest Loser Contest!

Kumiko - 200
Gina - 272
Rosada - 204
Mary Beth - 191
Laura - 242

Been a bit discouraged this week, I didn't feel like I was sticking to
the diet very well, then I weighed myself this morning and I've lost
about 14 pounds, amazing what a little activity can do. It's been kind
of tough, my son is home on leave and wants to go out to eat all the
time, but I guess I've been doing better than I thought. Either that or
the scale is broken!

How is everybody else doing?

More later.

Love,

Gina
