Yes, thank god, I've got a new cellphone-broadband card for the work computer.

I think right now they're anticipating us getting in twenty minutes before the other flight takes off. Maybe. Right now we dont' have a plane. I'm just saying, they SHOULD"VE put me on the earlier flight...

My phone number's on its way to you now.

Like I said in the e-mail, I hope you do get home tonight, but if not, I'd love to see you!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, meara!

Everyone should anticipate me being obsessed with the calorie counts everywhere for a while. In the window of Dunkin Donuts just now: "Free Iced Coffee Day! 25 calories."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My mom went for a while to a residential weight-loss program (she was there for about three weeks, and then following the program at home for about a year) that was about 1200 calories per day. She said that at first she felt hungry, but then after a little while, it felt like the right amount to eat.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

When I was tracking my diet on Fitday, I never once believed its calorie count - it always pegged me at around 1400-1600 calories a day, which I just plain knew wasn't the case. Eventually I gave up on it altogether.

The only thing that's ever been helpful for me in losing weight was going off the pill. I pretty much dropped 20 lbs overnight without trying.

Yeah, but then you got knocked up.

Oh right... I guess there was one other side-effect.

But actually I didn't notice the weight loss until after he was born. All my pre-preggers clothes are loose now.

Having a lot of migraines made me lose 25 pounds...the weight loss was nice, but I don't really recommend the method.

Of course, the migraines are back, but now that I've had them for so long, I've gotten used to eating even when I'm feeling nauseated, so I don't think it'll help. I"m contemplating new prophylactics, after three migraines in the past week--I hear you lose weight on topamax, even as you lose your mind?

Am in O'Hare, flight to start boarding v. soon. Fingers crossed, but it looks good. WHEW!

Um, yeah, I'll take a pass on that one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think the reason I stopped taking Topamax was because of the weight loss issues, so you may be right, meara.
