    Default Who would've thought I was retaining that much water ??

    OMG..I have been peeing out massive amounts of water today. I mean MASSIVE. I'd bloated a bit on Thursday, the first day of my cycle. I'd started taking another herb to help clear my lymph system, that was recommended by a clerk at the health food store..It's called Echinacea Red Root Supreme by Gaia Herbs, it's way better than the dandelion root I was taking at first.
    I'm now taking the following Dandelion (Fresh root,leaf & flower) by Herb Pharm (30-40 drops 3-4 times a day in a small amount of water), Oregano Oil ( 2-4 drops 3 times a day in small amount of h2O) and the one by Gaia I mentioned above (30-40 drops 3-4 times daily in small amount of h2O). I'm going to the store to get Gaia Herbs' Hoxsey Red Clover tonight. It's suppose to help circulate the lymph system. I've also been drinking water with lemon all day.
    I'm really impressed by the results..I wanted to get down to a 2/3 size 25/6 ( I haven't been that size since I had cancer) in Guess. I'm a 4/5 right now .. My frame is very small and I look bulky at a 4/5 (Esp. with the implants, they make my torso look shorter) ..Oh, I forgot I've been taking Vitamin C regularly too, I better take some now before I forget.
    So far my core (abs and back) and face are showing most of the results. Also, I've been drinking lots of fresh orange juice in the am and carrot in the pm..
    I hope my upper arms and lower body catch up by tomorrow morning, my ass is huge compared to the rest of my body..I haven't been excercising (except walking) since Thursday. And no only chewing it. Smoking is starting to bother my lungs and I can feel a difference in my body esp the fluids when I do..I'm going to do a bit of yoga and ab work tonight and see what the effects are. Then put my feet up ( like VG suggested ) while I watch MTV or VH1 whichever one has reality tv tonight.

    I hope the water stays off and I can keep my lymph system in check..I've got to stay away from stress. As soon as I get massively stressed, I'm done.
    My new love...is me !

    I'm extremely bloated right now and I know a lot of it has to be retained water. Is that stuff expensive? I want to try it.

    Water retention is the worst. Farrah, how tall are you? I'm around 5'0 so when I retain water I feel so HUGE! The taller you are the less of an impact it has on your appearance I feel.

    Yes, if you need to get one then just get the Echinacea Red Root Supreme and use fresh water and lemon through out the day. This always helps me and it's something I seem to forget the most. Then get the Oregano oil and the dandelion root..

    I'm so happy, my upper arms are slimming down just like I hoped they would.
    My lower body is starting to even out..I've been trying to take pics with my camera phone but, they don't look right.

    Anyway, I also spent about 30 minutes dry brushing my body and paying extra attention to the areas of concern. Thanks for suggesting the dry brush Ahmeerah, I bought one the other day and it works so much better than the loofah.

    I wasn't able to get the other herb last night, I plan on doing it tonight..I'll post the results.

    Your welcome. BTW, I was at Whole Foods today and they're running a special. Spend $75, get a week pass at Bikram Yoga on the Lower East Side. So, I made sure I spent the $75 for my pass! Can't start until next week though.

    I screamed when I read that ! I'm so excited, and way to go Whole Foods, that's one hell of a deal. Let me know how you like it..I've still been practicing just on my own, not as much heat..I miss it but, my body has been doing fine without the intense heat. I'm a bit surprised.

    I just got in from the local health food store here. It's simular to WF just a lot smaller and they don't sell meat. I picked up the Hoxsey Red Clover and Lecthin Granules.
