havanaholly Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 If you have a chance, stop by the Burwell-Morgan Mill in Millwood, just south of Berryville. I'll mention it to DH. When DS lived up the street from Woodlawn we walked over and toured it and the Pope-Leheigh house (one of Frank Lloyd Wright's "usonian" houses) and then down the street to Mt Vernon, and on the way we passed Washington's grist mill, which is in the process of being restored. Sunday we toured Gunston Hall, George Mason's home, which is also being restored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms. Mini Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Ellen, how many calories do you allow per day? sounds like ur doing awesome :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzyQ Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 Just remember girls. If you don't eat enough calories your body will go into starvation mode and your metabolism will slow down. Keep up the good work PS. Still so far so good with me today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakyshaky Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Well guys I think I have just about given up. I have not lost anything even after doing two shakes a day and walking a mile a day. ( I don't snack) I do hope all of you do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzyQ Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 Don't give up Melanie, Try something different. Maybe your not getting enough calories. You need a certain amount to keep your metablism moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachie Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 My calorie intake a day is between 1000 to 1200.....I'm not allowed under 1000 calories......until my dr. says its ok.....I went through a rough time a few months ago......I had to go off my diet......I wasn't even eating 800 calories a day......but I'm doing great now......and back to losing weight......my family and friends have encouraged me every step of the way....... Just remember girls. If you don't eat enough calories your body will go into starvation mode and your metabolism will slow down. Keep up the good work PS. Still so far so good with me today. That is true.....that is what happened to me a few months ago......and I had it rough....but I'm doing great now..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arden Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 :lol: I think it's time to start myself off with a little hatred directed my way (well, perhaps not hatred, but definitely jealousy). About 7-8 months ago I became rather anemic. I began craving ice 24/7, it got so bad that the freezer couldn't keep up with my chomping habits. I stopped ordering drinks with my ice in restaurants, and stopped drinking anything at all at home. (No pop, no juice, no alcohol.) I very soon began to lose weight as a side effect. Even after I realized I was anemic and started being treated for it, I kept eating ice, and have not stopped. Since that time I have lost around 40 pounds :woot: , probably more, as I stopped weighing myself after I'd hit a certain point as it was truly depressing. The ice is great because I chomp it whenever I'm thirsty, AND often if I feel like I'm a bit peckish, but not very hungry (which incidentally is often actually thirst-related, not hunger related), or if I just feel the need to eat without any actually hunger, it solves the problem of oral fixation. The best part of all this, is that my eating habits have not changed at all (I still eat what I want, when I want it, no matter how calorie-ridden or fat-ridden), nor have my activity levels, and I'm continuing to lose weight. Although I'm sure one day the weight-loss related to my ice-habit will eventually plateau, it seems to be a while off still, and if I decide I want to lose more weight, I know that there are many venues I can take, such as then changing some eating habits, or activity habits. Man, I've turned into one of those people I've always hated! Losing obscene amounts of weight with seemingly no effort, or bad side effects. ;) Anyways, I wish everyone luck with their weight loss efforts, and apologize to those who want to strangle me now, there's no need to be mad at me yet, I'm not close to a normal weight yet, so it's still a long way to go until you can truly hate me for it!

SuzyQ Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Arden I am a big ice chomper too. Love it. The only thing it does for me is make my dentist upset. I am soon going to have to get a $700 crown because I cracked a filling that can't be replaced. PS. Welcome to the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Ice chompers can save their fillings by investing in a food processor to crush the ice. I go through cycles of craving ice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
