Guest guest Posted March 25, 2000 Report Share Posted March 25, 2000 hi liz, i'm very glad to hear that your child has had only positive experiences with rheumys. i still can't say the same. i do try to have a good attitude, but when it comes to meds, i dont know much at all. it's just been the last 3 years i've even tried any and then it was just the ones that were useless like celebrex and arthrotec. for like a mo i felt better on plaqenuil, but then nothinf, then i got so sick from it i could barely control my bodily functions. about pregnancy, methotrexate was the one my old rheumy said would work but also would not allow me to have children if i used it for an extended period of time. i have read where pregnant women go into complete remissions and feel wonderful but that they come out of remission several weeks after birth. i have had severe joint damage, but now after all the joint replacements i had, i have a very good quality of life and my biggest fear about meds is finding one that works, makes me feel great, stops working, then i am back at rock bottom having to struggle to deal without meds again. i know that it probably sounds stupid to you, but i am used to the way i am now and as long as i can, i'd rather not rock the boat. do you know what i mean? i'm not sure if i am explaing this correctly. anyway, thanks for your encouragement and i am glad to know that are good rheumys out there helping you. thanks, brandy ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2000 Report Share Posted August 12, 2000 Hi Liz, You are an inspiration to me too! THANKS! Good for you and your jelly belly vanishing. SO COOL! So, that picture was 1 month later I presume. WHOA! You did GREAT GIRL! Be proud of YOU! I'm amazed at the results. I measured other places today and learned I had dropped inches in my ankles, calves, upper thigh and thigh! My " arms " even reduced. This didn't happen this fast on the " other guys " ...WHOA! Makes me a happy camper. I also noticed I like doing LL a lot more. For instance, when on the " other guys " I would do it in the morning and that was that, well, sometimes in the evening a few breaths. With LL, I find myself sitting at a stop light, or riding in my car, or waiting for someone, reading...I just think " breath " and keep doing them. I even did them in line at the Post Office, being last in line, quieter, but went through the motions. No one suspected! hee hee It was helpful, 'cause today Tij feels THINNER than ever! (and I am so close to my time of the month) It AMAZES ME totally! I never had this results before. I just think everyone has to find their way to figuring out what works best for them. I read on your board before I did this many breaths and that many and I thought, Whoa...where do they find the time...now I know. I am doing it too! May I ask if you have the 20 minute workout videos and which do you use? Workout #1 or #2? I have started with the instructional, but have an interest in her 20 minute video as well. Just wanted to have some comparisons. Thanks again. Keep on breathing, you're doing GREAT! Best of success to you, you " jelly belly conquerer! " WHOOPIE!!! Tij > Hi Tij, > > I just love you!

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2000 Report Share Posted August 13, 2000 Hi Tij, I'm sorry that it has taken me this long to get back to you, I read your post earlier today. I had company in from out of town tonight, so needless to say I cleaned like a mad woman through the day. Here it is 11:35 in the evening and this is my 1st chance since this morning to write. I usually do my own workout using exercises from LL, BF, and a lot of traditional ones with the LL breathing. I have both videos 1 and 2. As a matter of fact I just got the Zoo tape and tape 2 in the mail today. I haven't had time to do them yet. My son did the Zoo tape while I watched and folded clothes and I watched part of tape 2 while eating lunch. Both tapes 1 and 2 work most of the body. Tape 1 has some standing leg work and tape 2 has sitting leg work. Texas Mom and Karma have said that their legs get such a workout on # 2 that they quiver. My suggestion is to buy both, especially if you're going to do it before the 31st. They're on sale till the end of this month. If you buy 2 or more you can get them for $15 each plus handling. If you buy just 1 it will be $23 plus handling. Have a great night sleep and a great Sun. Keep breathing it's working!

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2000 Report Share Posted August 13, 2000 Thanks Liz, That really answered my questions. I asked Tara too early on, but wanted other feedback. I guess both will do for me. I need leg workout, well...lower body the most. Might as well jump on a sale! Thanks again!

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 Hi Liz, Thanks! Now that I changed some of my eating habits... (too long enough to figure out how to do it and still enjoy life!!) - and still working on them, along with Karma's Alkaline discovery, I really do think that I am losing weight with the breathing. I'm not one of the lucky ones that was able to lose weight without making some changes. Now I'm so much more inspired to continue breathing, because I am seeing the benefit on my scale. And I love it!!! Thanks again for giving me that boost! On Mon, 11 Dec 2000 23:10:25 -0500 stevku@... writes: Hi ,I'm glad that my post reminded you to breathe.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2000 Report Share Posted December 19, 2000 Hi Karma, Thanks, I'm still not over this and neither is anyone else in my family. All that I can say is this bug loves us. LOL Texas Mom and I have been keeping in touch with each other. She's doing well. She felt like she needed a break from the list for a while. She said recently that she'll probably rejoin soon. I'll tell her that you've been asking about her. Love, Liz ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2001 Report Share Posted July 27, 2001 Hi Liz!! Yes, I just had a tummy tuck and a thigh lift. And yes, BOTH were covered by my insurance. I've heard of many insurance companies covering the tummy but to my knowledge I don't know of any covering the thigh lift. Yes, my doctor did take pictures (he showed them to me yesterday when I went in for my appt) but he didn't send them to the insurance co. He just sent in a request for it to be covered and stated that I had had infections, etc. This was bending the truth a bit as I had never had any infections or problems and did not have big apron. It was actually just loose skin but not real bad. Only my belly button was occasionally itchy. Partners agreed to cover the tummy but not the thighs at first. I ask Dr. Lambeth to call them personally to see if they would agree to at least cover the OR and anesthesia, etc. and I would pay out of pocket to him, the surgeon for the thighs. I don't know what the heck he told them but his nurse called me back and said Partners agreed to cover it all. I couldn't believe it but I sure wasn't gonna question it! I got back in to my Jr. size 5 levi's last night when I went out on the town, so alot of my swelling has diminished now. My leg is doing better and I fell human again, after only 3 weeks today. I really had no problems from the tummy tuck at all....not an incredible amount of pain either...about like a c-section. I only took pain pills for 2 days after getting out of the hospital, and those 2 days were a week later. I think I was doing too much but I started hurting where the drain was taken out of my belly. Maybe I'll get really brave and post some pictures of the surgery scars this week, just to show how it looks. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have Liz. I be happy to answer if I can.... Good luck to you getting approved!! in Raleigh MGB 11/22/99 270/130 size 24/6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are shrinking, melting and becoming so sleek and slender that I can only imagine how your turn heads when you walk by! See what the combination of doing your Life Lift faithfully, drinking your water, eating healthy foods and Keeping your wonderful, (now famous) positive attitude has done for you!

Using your example of fat really puts it in perspective. Sometimes I think, man I only lost 16lbs. this year, but last year I didn't lose any. So 16 is good. I think about friends of mine who lose 10 lbs. in a month, put it back on, lose it in a month, put it back on etc. etc. That can't be good for your body. So even though I'm a slow loser, I think I'm doing good and hopefully by this time next year I'll have another 15 to 20 lbs. off. But even if I don't with LL the inches are melting aw----aaaaayyyyyyyy and that's what really matters. Thank you for sharing your precious LL with us!!!!!! Hey I wore a pair of pants tonight that I had on just a month ago and they're looser and more comfortable than they were then. Yea!!!!!!:-) Love ya!!!! Liz ---- Hello dear Liz, Congratulations on the 16 pound loss. That is incredible. No wonder you are getting so many compliments. If you piled up 16 pounds of ground beef and took a good look at how much you have eliminated from your body, you would be soooo impressed with yourself. When I had my Health Center we used to take 1/4 pound cubes of butter and we would stick them next to our thighs and tummy just to see how much of a difference that 1/4 pound cube could make in the shape of our bodies. It is pretty impressive when you times those 1/4 pounds 16 times = 64 and imagine them spread out all over your body. Now you understand why your Father-in-Law was so impressed with the way you look! You are one awesome woman!!!! Love, Rashelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2002 Report Share Posted April 24, 2002 Liz After I posted that I seemed to remember reading that whole thing a while back and someone else said it wasn't true. I've never been too good at science type things so I can't give an opinion. I'll take your word for it, Liz. It seems like if it were true there would be warnings on microwaves. If there weren't any warnings and someone got hurt, I would think that the manufacturer would be responsible legally. Right? Re: Fw: Warning about heating WATER in your microwave WHAT A CROCK!!!! Sorry , but this is NOT true. The only way that water can be super heated is to add pressure. The age of the container has no bearing unless there are cracks, faults and that can happen in any age container. I don't know what happened to the young man, but not this. Many things can go wrong. I wish him well if there is such a person. A typical cybermyth. Please forgive me, Lizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW! I was shocked cus i wasn't expecting that. I just kind of happened to notice it as I was typing.. didn't try to test it or anything like that... My lower back still hurts though the new brace did help that. I'm not wearing it though only to places I will be walking a long ways.. like my volunteer job. Dr. sa ys not to get addicted to it so that i'll be dependent and it will weaken my muscles. I wonder if i am fusing there. I had no side effect except a tiny whisper of a headache. I have noticed that wounds are slower to heal (and i get a lot of scratches from kitty=cats) and my throat is slightly sore most of the time. My muscles don't seem quite so tired. though i did have that instance of falling the other day... Thanks for the wishes Connie.. i'll see how it all goes tomorrow...

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 I'm not sure where she lives but please email her! She is really sweet. Keep in mind she is deaf so she doesn't talk on the phone I don't think. She did tell me she can speak but she speaks like deaf people! Whatever that means! She is worried her son will begin to speak like her so she has early intervention or some program like that. They want her to have her child's immunization record and she is scared to say she doesn't vax without all her ducks in a row. She says they will take children away from disabled parents in a heartbeat. Her husband is also deaf. So please contact her she will be relieved to know there is someone else on her side.
