I lost 75 pounds that way a few years ago and felt wonderful, but I've gained a few back recently by going ape-$#!% and indulging in all the no-nos since Halloween. That eight pounds I've lost this month was mostly water weight; I was as puffy as a marshmallow. Also, I'm drinking lots of water and weaning myself off of diet soda (a painful process). It's not a bad way to eat once you get used to it.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-9202068984358985882014-01-12T09:30:38.986-06:002014-01-12T09:30:38.986-06:00Annette, it's "the blahs," huh?

I never doubted your credentials. I've never heard you open your mouth when you didn't know what you were talking about.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-3992285572238397032014-01-12T09:22:25.103-06:002014-01-12T09:22:25.103-06:00Betsy, it sounds like we both need a shot in the a...Betsy, it sounds like we both need a shot in the arm or a kick in the rear.

Might have to leave out the carb-loaded matzo balls, but they were so tasty I think I could imagine their flavor if I needed to.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-31344361652787570872014-01-11T22:34:17.681-06:002014-01-11T22:34:17.681-06:00Eight pounds!

Curable, but highly correlated to extremely hot or cold weather, also rain. The sun will come out, you'll eat some more soup and things will be better I know. I'm not a doctor, but I've had two surgeries in the last six months, which makes me somewhat of an expert. Plus, I have SEEN doctors on TV.Annette Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15367278617237356980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-79066939063423825802014-01-11T14:07:19.157-06:002014-01-11T14:07:19.157-06:00Oh my goodness!

I had that same nasty tummy bug, then I got the H1N1 flu (first time since 1989 I did not get a flu shot and bam, I got the flu) and then I got that nasty tummy bug again! Did I lose weight? heck, no! I blame it on all the juice I drank when I had the URI flu.

One of my producers used to make it for me... her secret was to add lemon slices and cloves to her broth...it was the most amazing soup EVER!
