Guest guest Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 You have done great. CONGRATS !!! 1:9 From: loriannlocke <loriannlocke@...>Subject: progress100-plus Date: Monday, September 14, 2009, 4:28 PM I recently posted my monthly progress pics, inches lost, and weight training stats on my blog. Should anyone care to take a look, here's a link to the post:http://amazonrunner.blogspot.com/2009/09/monthly-progress-report-wpics.html#linksAlso, in my motivational links area (on the right side of my journal entries) I put a link to this group. Many of the women who visit my blog have 100 or more to lose.I didn't lose as much around the middle (my prob area) as I wanted this month and that put me in a funk over the weekend, along with some other stuff. I spent most of my time talking myself out of being a complete and total butthole and eating like a pig.Somehow I survived without damaging my progress. Anyway, it's a new day and a new week.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Wow, Lori-Ann! I can see a real difference between the two photos. Your midriff is considerably smaller in the second photo. I have a friend who's lost a lot of weight. She saw herself on camera the other day and was shocked at how thin her face looked. She said, "When I look in the mirror, I still see this round little face staring back at me. I still think of myself as fat, and that's what I see." I wonder if you're doing something like that. I've heard that it's not uncommon for people who have lost weight to still think of themselves as overweight. Give yourself credit, girl. You're doing great!

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hi Lori-Ann I've been following your blog with a great deal of interest and I'm thrilled for you how different you look in your 'before' and 'after' pics - it's REALLY noticeable, whatever you may believe! It's funny, but what Kay says is true - when I originally got my weight down from 420lbs to 175lbs (a little lower for a few weeks, but I stabilised at that weight for a few years) in 2002/2003 I knew I was a LOT slimmer but I still felt really chunky and thought I could do with losing more weight. Friends and family (and my doctor) were begging me not to lose any more as my ribs were actually poking out through my clothes, I'd lost that much fat! Like you, I'm pretty tall with a very large frame and it's only now when I see pics of back then that I realise how slim I actually was. Now, I think a reasonable weight for me would be somewhere between 175lbs and 190lbs. Keep up the good work! It's great you're so motivated that a perceived (albeit not true!) setback hasn't knocked you off course!

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Wow Loriann! Those pictures are amazing - you can definitely tell! All my weight is in my middle too ... and for some reason known only to God ... I keep losing from other areas! Yes, it's totally frustrating! Your commitment is awesome ...

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Hi, Great to read about your son's progress!! Especially when you can actually measure it in terms of his growth and general health. We are using Brainbow too. How many capsules do you give per day? What is OSR? Is it meant to be used in conjunction with Brainbow? Lastly, where do you get the transdermal MB12 from? Thanks, Jane progress hididn't make it onto the "jacuzzi hot list" but it reminded me that i hadn't taken an objective look at how things are going with eddie (age 11 now!) for sometime. thought i would summarize in case anything useful for others:been GAPS for one year almost and have seen fantastic results, extremely obvious effect on growth (gone from skinny to beautifully cuddly) and substantially taller, appetite excellent and bowel much improved, using only a maintenance dose of oxypowder.done 3 years of the listening programme, calmer, more focused when listening and immediately afterwards and more focused in general. this i believe has also helped with speech.did julie's (griffiths on this list) "adrenal" and "thyroid" support protocol last summer, with amazing results, his temperature went up by quite a bit: Before intervention: Mean temp. 35.8After intervention: Mean temp: 36.3. improvements we saw were obvious with a calmer eddie and more gains in speech and spontaneous interactions.tried MMS (very hard to take) with all the family and got up to a substantial amount of drops, for 3 months, then dropped to maintenance dose. had dramatic results to begin, with interesting poo colours, rashes, usual die off symptoms etc, then no changes. we mainly did this for parasites (blasto), but i'm pretty sure it hasn't been effective for getting rid of it. i'm doing a stool sample this weekend and will post if it has so others can try it.changed to transdermal MB12 from injections, after first night of applying it, he said 2 words together for the first time "yellow banana", so i believe its more effective for eddie that the injections.been using OSR (coupled with brainbow) for 4 months, huge language and interactive gains.increased cod liver oil and added in fish oil (thorne super EPA) to tackle bumpy skin on his arms and face, massive stimming, crying for months to follow - despite going very slowly - until it finally settled. i only managed to get up to half the dose i wanted. daren't push it further, still have mild bumpy rash on arms and face.increased K2 to tackle greying teeth, somewhat successful, but not 100%overall, good and steady changes with a happier, talker! which he wasn't a year ago, so fantastic results with biomed to report.next step to do genova chelation panel and breakspear faecal metal testing to see what's happening with OSR.also going to start KiB500 this weekend. will report any goods and bads.karenza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Hi I will try that mix for the twigglers, I think there is still a few in my back, mine started after I used a hair dryer on itchy spots till it felt real hot , it didn & #39;t killthe bug. It is the only spot that bothers me , I have been soaking it with a poultice,(a shirt soaked in borax1/2cup per gal for30 mins 2 X per day) Whatever it is in my back it dosent wiggle anymore since Fritos peroxide & borax & water mix, but I think it is still in there, maybe FIR infrared will get it too. Thanks for the post . I still haven & #39;t felt a crawl for119 days since putting 2 tbls cococnut oil in the tub & soaking,I did it about 15 -20 times I am amazed ,I had used cococnut oil in sulfur creme for 1 year, but still had crawling , I did use the A & H soap 1 cup per bath about 8 times, 3-10 days apart .

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 yes, I'm a hunter. After picking up morg off the swarming red spider/tick vectors at the archery range in Sep 09, I didn't think I would ever be able to do it again, till this lease. Where I was hunting, I couldn't leave a blind, it would be stolen within a day. Here they don't seem to have problems like that, plus someone lives on the property. In fact, my first parasite emerged after I got my first bird in 1985. A lot of turkey hunters report bird mite infestations. Of course all wild game carries parasites of all kinds. Bucillosis is one that can be caught from butchering deer, and I know a woman who trained hunting bird dogs who died of it. Pigs carry some very nasty things, yet the foolish men I hunt with sometimes don't wear gloves when they handle the carcasses. They don't listen to me! love, katie > > >  > > > The first thing I want to say is that I seldom have time to read everything here, so I am behind on the science.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Hi Kate, I live in the country. Peeps like to experiment here. One neighbor uses electrical radiant floor heat for his front door entry and its worked for years. He said if he had druthers he'd prefer water. electric is more like a spot heater you really don't want to use it in your whole house, just small areas, mostly because it's more expensive than other radiant types. Most peeps in this area using it go for water radiant heat because it's cheaper and gives better heat. The water retains the heat in the tubes unlike electircity. Plus think about the electro magnetic problem with these bugs maybe the last thing we need is electricity in the subfloor driving into a frenzy. Right now if I had the funds I'd go with water radiant. The water runs through plastic tubes in the subfloor. I think your smart to rip up your floor and try to treat the subloor It seems to me the floor is a TOTAL source of problems. I just know these SOB's are lurking under there like total cowards. I am totally screwed with a lot of wood flooring in this old house. It has small spaces between planks know they under there just waiting for their chance to chew up my feet. really if I had enough money I would just get the hell out of this hell hole permanently and move to another house or something but I can't afford to move. There's too many in my house God knows how they got here. Tony > > > > > > The first thing I want to say is that I seldom have time to read > > everything here, so I am behind on the science.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Thanks, Tony. That's good feedback. Based on that, what I might do since I love everything about my house but the critters, is to put down vinyl everywhere, as it is warmer than ceramic, and skip the expense of the radiant heat. When we sell, we can offer a discount over competitive homes, which many buyers will go for as they can pocket the savings or use it to install what they want. I have already ditched so many things I owned before all this, but much of it I have had to replace. I'm simply going to have to wash everything with a hard surface down, dry clean or soak in A & H or Orange Plus everything I can put into water, and decide on a case by case basis what to do with the rest. My attic is filled with junk that my husband will never move, old military memorabilia etc. So I am going to find a place where I can buy menthol crystals in bulk (and I do mean bulk) and just make the whole place toxic to them. (Come out of that ammo can, critter, and die!) Then there is all the insulation. It is compacted like it gets, so replacing it would be good anyway, but the money. Like most of us, I will have to do what I can do when I can do it, financially and physically. I've already been " mentholizing " my husband's 450 shelf feet of gorgeous history books for about a year, just have to keep that up. The living room is library and exercise room and I've kept it full of menthol. I never get bitten when I work out or am getting a book. Also, I make sure if I DO open a book, that my head is covered and I don't lean over the book. I'm definitely a candidate for a Kindle (more money, though). Keep the ideas coming, Tony, you have some good ones. love, katie > > > > > > > > > The first thing I want to say is that I seldom have time to read > > > everything here, so I am behind on the science.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 And since we have a Kate and a in here now, it would probably be good to include the 'i' when you are referring to me. > Hi Kate, I live in the country. Peeps like to experiment here. One neighbor uses electrical radiant floor heat for his front door entry and its worked for years. He said if he had druthers he'd prefer water. electric is more like a spot heater you really don't want to use it in your whole house, just small areas, mostly because it's more expensive than other radiant types. Most peeps in this area using it go for water radiant heat because it's cheaper and gives better heat. The water retains the heat in the tubes unlike electircity. Plus think about the electro magnetic problem with these bugs maybe the last thing we need is electricity in the subfloor driving into a frenzy. Right now if I had the funds I'd go with water radiant. The water runs through plastic tubes in the subfloor. I think your smart to rip up your floor and try to treat the subloor It seems to me the floor is a TOTAL source of problems. I just know these SOB's are lurking under there like total cowards. I am totally screwed with a lot of wood flooring in this old house. It has small spaces between planks know they under there just waiting for their chance to chew up my feet. really if I had enough money I would just get the hell out of this hell hole permanently and move to another house or something but I can't afford to move. There's too many in my house God knows how they got here.
