Ok, well send me a pic anyway once you see this. I want to see what you look like now with all the water..............Oh and get ready to pee..............ALOT
i will send you one before i go to bed tonight. also, i am not peeing nearly as much as i thought i would be, though it is a lot. is that wrong? i am doing everything just as you said. diuretics, potassium, water, etc...

hang in there girlie - you're doing great
wish i'd had jodi around when i did my one (and only) contest. i freaking woke up bloated like you mentioned the day of the damn show

i didn't know a thing about sodium loading/dropping and i did the carb deplete/load for the first time the week before my show. you're working damn hard and you've got the best people in your corner. i know you're going to be pleased with the outcome.
OMG! you were bloated the day of your show???

did you still go on stage?
and thank you of course, for the kind words and the encouragement.

it means a lot coming from one of the BBB's!!!

I bet she loved the sugar rush too.
I know when I ate them, I had no issues gobbling them down FAST
Funky, can you give her my # and have her call me.
i don't know if i felt a sugar rush, per se. i felt my skin get really tight, especially around my biceps and calves. and i got REALLY veiny. even little veins on the inside of my forearms, which i'd never seen stick out like that before. i mean TINY ones. everything.... i am still squishy in the midsection though...
and yeah i ate those smarties in like two breaths. hahahhahahaah! and the whole time, i was feeling super b ad about it. like wondering, 'i hope jodi got this right... man what if i eat these and blow up like a balloon... or what if it's too much sugar and i pass out or something..." hahahahahaha! but then i sat and waited and nothing. except that about my skin feeling tight. later when i was with a client (abotu 20 minutes later) was when i noticed all the veins. it was CRAZY!
and by the way i don't have your number still. someone didn't give it to me

I will email you mine.
