24 pounds in 3 weeks sounds dangerous to me. I hope your hubby's MD signed off on the diet. (Hope I'm not overstepping the advice line. I'm nervous about the low carb diet because my dad's cardiologist said, "Atkins bought my summer home.")
River: I know you have questions. Mal: That would be why I just asked them.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Atkins is only one low carb diet. I think nowadays people prefer South Beach. I am doing low carb and while I have an occasional burger, I also eat vegetables, etc.

Our wings are not tired.
He eats his veggies. He is just so huge even at normal weight that he burns a zillion calories a day. % of his size 24 pounds isn't so crazy. I assume it will slow down as time goes on. The first couple weeks he dumped a bunch.

Nine pounds in three weeks is AWESOME Laura! Forget your husband, you're kicking some ass!
I would consider low carb, and did pretty well the one time I did it, but know I can't do it forever, and as soon as you stop the weight tends to pile back on...

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Hec, JZ, I feel your car trouble pain, and am sorry to hear it. What a giant, money-sucking, stressful PITA.
I got a tetanus booster for the first time in, um, 25 years a couple of years ago, and one thing I learned from the Intertubes that I wish my doctor at the time had told me was to move that arm around a lot in the first 2-3 days.
I had a huge sore lump at the injection site for about a week, and apparently, moving the arms around, even though it hurts, gets that anti-whateveritis juice moving around quicker and you're less likely to have the Lump of EwOuch.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
OMG Erin. I am now googling tetanus shot and reading people's reactions with the shot and again I am reminded why my doctor told me not to use google for medical conditions.

STEP AWAY FROM THE MEDICAL GOOGLING!
The lump wasn't OOHMYGODKILLMENOW painful, or like the size of an second head; it was just annoying.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I really should stop doing that. I google for everything else, but I need to remind myself that hypochondria + google = cray cray

Oh, hell yeah. I'm not even close to being alarmist, and I can freak myself out googling medical stuff sometimes.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I slept for 5 hours, took the dog for a walk around the block, and my neighbor let me know I have a flat tire. M says, "Don't worry, darlin', I got you." I bet it was a nail.
I am kind of freaking out and overwhelmed right now. So many things to do, and I can't figure out what to do first, and I feel like I wasted the whole day and I'll won't get the things done I need to this weekend, and I don't really want to do any of it. /whinge
