It depends. The side effects can go either way - weight gain, weight *loss*... sm
Or no weight change at all, but maybe some other unpleasant side effect. Or you might have only mild side effects, or none at all and it's like a miracle cure for you. ;o) Everyone is so different, you never know until you try a med. for yourself.
weight loss
I use TrimSpa (baby) it's working o.k. I am making a conscious effort to not fry, not add salt, eliminated cornbread (I'm a Southerner), etc., etc. I work a lot of night hours and this helps me with my snacking between 9 p and mid. I do drink green tea. I think it boosts my metabolism....
weight loss
just a general word of encouragement to everyone trying to lose weight that YOU C-A-N DO IT!!!!! I am very small-boned, 5' 6', and weighed nearly DOUBLE my normal body weight. Looked like nothing but a big bowl of pudding. One day I decided to move. Maybe it was the Nike slogan, but I just did it. Could barely walk around ONE BLOCK. But I walked the block. One day, I could walk two blocks. One day I walked a mile. Took me two years to lose the weight, ladies, but I got skinny and toned by EXERCISE (95% walking, a bit at the gym, not much), and sensible eating. Every single reader here knows what sensible eating is: Eat healthy, not overprocessed food, and don't eat too much of it PERIOD. Deep down, we all know that. Admit it and change your eating habits -- and walk and/or exercise, and you can do it. By the way, I am not holier than thou, I did used to take ephedra at half the recommended dosage, every day in the early days, just to take the edge off at dinner time, when I would rip off the cabinet doors cuz i got so hungry for the deadly four: pasta, potatoes, rice and bread. Couldn't get enough of it. decreasing (NOT ELIMINATING) these and making myself full with veggies and water did the trick. I eventually eliminated the ephedra. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU. Nike: Just Do It.
weight loss sm
I tried the following - a little more walking, no more white bread,(12 grain), flavored non-dairy creamer instead of cream, not water-friendly, so drank a lot of non-caffeine tea (raspberry) and Sweet & Low (don't think this is a good idea). Tried Benefiber chewable to add bulk and fiber; lean beef, 90% lean a few times a week only, sweet potatoes instead of white, only 1 at a time and generally cutting out the obvious (no alcohol, fried foods, rich pastry). Took off 15 lbs. and was able to get into an old Size 10 for my reunion, from a 14, and saved a bunch on new clothes and felt great! Hope I can keep it up. When my son was getting married years ago, I hated the "mother of the groom" puffy chiffons, so I stationery biked from Feb. to May and went from a 14 to a 10 (700 miles total) and wore a lovely silk suit. Unfortunately, I ate my way back because I felt the "empty nest" syndrome. Once you lose, don't snooze, keep it up! You'll like yourself better. This profession can ruin your body, take control by getting up and moving around as much as you can. I did not do that and suffer the consequences with my back, my right thumb is totally painful so that I can't open jars, unlock the babies' safety belts, etc., it comes upon you when the damage is done. Don't let it happen to you, exercise when you can, you're worth it!
Has anyone used LA Weight Loss?
If so, what were your results. Any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA
LA WEIGHT LOSS
I tried it and lost 40 pounds in 3 months or so but it came back as quick as it went. They are VERY expensive. Currently not working on anything but GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!
weight loss
I needed to reduce my cholesterol, so I really cut down on fat in my diet. By doing this, I not only lowered my cholesterol, but I lost about 13 lbs. in 5 months! This is so much safer than those fad diets.
weight loss over 50
Thanks so much for responding and for your words of encouragement! At age 56, it's very encouraging to hear this. Small goals and one-day-at-a-time are very good advice Thanks again! (and congratulations on your weight loss too!)
weight loss over 50 years of age.
Your post is so inspiring--Would you mind telling your age (just roughly?) I so badly want to lose on my own--without going to expensive weight loss clubs. A so-called friend insists that once past age 50, metabolism is so slow, it is next to impossible--very discouraging to hear. Thanks for your uplifting post!
getting up and moving about or weight loss.NM
Such a tremendous weight loss!
Apple Scruff--Could you elaborate how you initially got started--did you follow a specific diet? With a sedentary MT job, did you force yourself to exercise much? A "scare" really is a tremendous motivator (it took a "scare" to get me to stop smoking, but I am not having success taking off approximately the same amount of weight that you succeeded at losing) Thanks for your tips.
weight loss and bypass
Hi! Several things here - 1)You are on COBRA now, is the insurance your husband has group or individual? If it group and you are on COBRA, then you are considered covered with no lapse in coverage and they HAVE to take you! I don't think they have to cover you if it is not a group policy.
2) Gastric bypass - my brother had one at 605 pounds. I need one, but my insurance wouldn't cover and I can't afford it, so I won't do that. But if you live in Arkansas, I have the name of a fantastic doctor - the one that did my brother's!
excess skin after weight loss
Did you then have surgery to remove the sagging skin? I need to lose 140 lbs, which I have packed on over the past 20 years. I never weighed over 112 lbs. or wore larger than a size 3 (!!) until I turned 30. My lifestyle changed (not for the better) at that point, and I basically lose interest in how I looked. Now, at age 51, my health is seriously in trouble due to my obesity. What am I going to do with all the excess skin? I already have a big fat pouch under my waist, and above my waist I look like I'm 7 months pregnant! Are there any health insurance plans that will pay for surgery to remove the leftover skin? I see people on Dr. 90210 having the surgery, but I bet they have to pay out of pocket and I bet it's tens of thousands of dollars.
sagging skin after weight loss
Thanks for much the info about plastic surgery. I guess the only way to look at it is this: My health and life are in danger if I don't take this weight off. Whether or not I'm left with skin hanging down to my ankles (I hope I'm exaggerating!), at least I'll be alive and have more energy and flexibility. Guess I should cross one bridge at a time. :) I've decided to start Michael Thurmond's Lifestyle Change course. Ordered the whole kit from HSN (or maybe QVC), and truly think I can do it. Have never tried any diets in the past. Was in denial about my weight for the longest time...kept thinking it was a "phase." Ha-ha! You know how formerly anorectic people still think of themselves as fat? Well, I'm an stress-overeater in denial, and I still think of myself as thin...until I see myself in the mirror. Yikes!
Has anyone tried any of the cortisol weight loss products and if so which ones and do they work? nm
nm
Gatorade ... push it. He is dehydrated maybe with that weight loss.
dd
I had an occasion to personally ask a weight loss physician...
about all these cortisol products on the market. She said FORGET IT. It's a waste of money. If you read the bottle, they all say that you must follow a sensible diet and exercise regime. In my belief, you'll lose weight without the pills if you watch what you eat and exercise. I've lost 8 pounds since January 1. No pills, no special diet food, no membership fees, nothing. I try to eat food that comes in the form that mother nature provided. No white bread, pasta, or rice. All brown forms of those foods. Lots of salads, vegetables, fruits, lean meats. No cakes, cookies, pies, or other such junk. I have some occasional fat-free candy like Mike N Ike just to keep my sweet tooth happy. It's working. Slowly, but it's working.
I had a local weight loss clinic not pay and finally had to get an attorney. sm
Had to pay the attorney so lost some. By that time, I was so angry, it had become a matter of principle and was determined to make them pay.
Yes, I lost 42 pounds on LA Weight Loss, but gained back 50 a little more than a year later . .
I was on the program for approximately four months and lost 40 pounds. The weight did come off really fast. At the time I was a member, there was a rebate if you kept the weight off for one year. It sounded good, but you had to buy the supplements for the entire year, which by the end of the year added up to a few thousand dollars.
In any case, after I finally lost the weight, I got pregnant with my fourth child. I am now trying to lose the 50 pounds that I gained while pregnant, but my metabolism seems so much slower now. The weight isn't coming off nearly as fast as before. :(
Oh, and one more thing: MTs who don't pull their weight and
I work and I want my team to work hard as well.
Lost the extra weight and have maintained a good weight and size just by walking him twice a day. n

My dwindling paycheck, loss of benefits, and loss of respect is all the proof I need. nm

Green Tea
I use the tea for pain control. However, I have not experienced those symptoms. Are you talking about constipation? I hope your symptoms have nothing to do with the tea.
Green Tea
 Wondering if it could be an allergic reaction of some type?
IF, I drink heated tea, I devolop a rash about the size of a baseball on my right forearm near the wrist...no place else and not with ice tea. Allergist said it was a true allergic reaction and the cure?? Don't drink it
I'm green and don't know what you mean
Probably ignorant on my part, but I don't know what you mean by becoming a cherrypicker. Can you fill me in?
I am sorry that you are so green -
I have no reason to come on this board and post BS; I came on to give some encouragement to others and to see if I could help out somebody who cannot figure out why they are not producing their lines. We all waste our typing time without even realizing it.
Good luck to you and I hope your negativity disappears from your life!
Any green tea users out there?
I have tried green tea on 2 separate occasions and both times experienced what appears to be bloody stools with it. As soon as I stop the intake of the tea, the blood goes away. I really like the tea as it does a good job of promoting energy and weight loss, but I cannot understand why it causes this reaction. Would anyone have any idea why this happens? Is there another natural energy booster I can try? Thanks for any and all help.
Green tea is an anticoagulant. You should have
a bleeding time (PT, PTT, etc.) to see if you are prone to bleeding. Another simple way to see would be to eat a few pieces of black licorice every day and see if you get the same problem after a few days.
Does green tea have caffeine? nm

Which ones pull in the green?
Which ones are you gals/guys transcribing that you are able to do 200-300/hour? I have condensed it down to ops and maybe radiology. What are the most awesome expansion accounts in your opinion-copy and paste if you will!!
Is there anybody transcribing this amount of lines on acute or multi specialty? Specialty, a single specialty, I could believe. Ops I can believe. Haven't done rad so don't know. What are the best "COPY AND PASTE" situations you know of?
Thanks to all you green-thumbers! nm

um - who is Rodney Green? *lol*....sm
only Rodney Green I know is a singer/drummer/performer
http://www.rodneygreenmusic.com/
Fried green tomatoes
I am green with envy. I saw him a few years ago..
I paid $175 per ticket so I could have floor seats. I was maybe 20 rows from the stage. That was the year he toured with Billy Joel. Anyway, the show was fabulous. He played a nice mix of old songs and newer songs. He wears the most incredible, elaborate outfits. The first was was a teal green suit, covered in sequins and rhinestones. I wondered how heavy it must have been. He changed for the second set, and I think the suit was pink, not sure, but it was also fantastic!! The only thing that disappointed me was he really did not interact with the audience as much as I expected. But the performance itself was wonderful, and I would love to see him again. As far as the crowd goes, it was not a rock concert crowd at all. The average age was probably around 40, lots of women, no craziness, no drugs that I saw. Very mild mannered crowd.
Sounds like you have a bed of green pasture already...sm
Why tip the applecart? If you wanted to shoot for 11 cpl, you'd have to weigh the aggravation factor. Seriously, all aspects of your job sound very inviting, and your line rate is at the upper limit of normal for a national or franchise. Good for you!
ER died with Mark Green - Not the
him, Carol and Doug. One thing that got to me though, why didn't Carol and Doug show up for his funeral????  The newer episodes just don't have the same uumph - I stick to the reruns on TNT.
agree ! and how about Rodney Green with
no shirt on - hubba hubba !
SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE! lol

weight
I am hating this cold weather. I am turning 36 soon and I feel like I am just packing on the pounds and I haven't changed my routine one bit? I know your metabolism slows as you age, but geez, I am beginning to think it is my profession! I exercise and watch what I eat, even more so now and still the scale won't budge, it will go up if anything. I guess I am asking for some advice or tips on what other Transcriptionist do to maintain thier girlish or boyish figure.
I love green tea, but not too close to bedtime, or will be up, um,
zz
There is a product called Green Light
or you might try a systemic insect killer that you just put on top the soil and water it. Just do not use it for any plant that bears fruits or vegetables. They both work well.
So far all I have is some fresh green beans and potatoes....nm
Oh, all bad carbs except for sausage. Where's the green veggies?
Definitely NOT my first car, a used 1974 pea green Ford Pinto.
d
stuffed green peppers, from the garden. YUM! nm
.
Addendum- that should have been sour grapes, not green!

Green only underlines grammar errors.
You need an exclusion dictionary to flag words that are correct, but you want them flagged anyway (with red underline). How to do this is in the help file.
NO NAMES... BUT THEY ROOT FOR GREEN BAY PACKERS...SM
and it gets C O L D up there. State is known for beer and cheese manufacturing. There is a queen bee MQ (only QA there, to save $$$). From the getgo, she'll hurl insults at you, wear you down, etc. Name begins with "S", I believe.
I use the Wal-Mart Green-Dot card and love it. SM
There was an intial $4.50 charge when I first got the card. They waive the monthly fee if you deposit more than $1000 a month on it which I do because I have my pay check direct deposited to it. The only fees I pay now are ATM fees when withdrawing money. You can reload at Wal-Mart as well, but if you are loading cash, they will charge you a fee. However, it is a payroll check, income tax check, basically any computer generated check (not handwritten) you can load it on your card at Wal-Mart for nothing -- no fees.
I started using the prepaid card through Wal-Mart a year ago or so because I couldn't open a checking account thanks to my ex screwing up a joint account we had when married and never taking care of the negative balance as he agreed. I got tired of always running to the bank to get cash out of my savings account to go to the store and buy groceries, not to mention my bank only allowed 3 withdrawals a quarter from a savings account and then they start charging fees. Getting the prepaid card is awesome. I pay bills with it, use at Wal-Mart and the grocery stores with very little fees. Plus you download a direct deposit form off the green-dot website to give to your employer for direct deposit. It has all the routing info preprinted on it. I've never had a problem.
McAfee checks every website with green
check marks if ok and puts a question mark in case it is questionable and a red exclamation mark if dangerous. So we, the paying subscribers, know which one to open and which not.
I did not get an answer from TechSupport why he/she does not recommend McAfee. What reasons do you have that you do not care about McAfee?
I know about the weight training
but thanks for the ice water tip. That's one I haven't heard, but makes sense!
