lol Sharron!! Of course I know what you mean!

Gilley, you've had a great week!!! (and it's not even over!!)

Funny, my hubby commented to our daughter how greatly improved my mood is lately - though I'm still up a lot at night, I feel the acv is giving me much better quality sleep then what I had been getting.

That is so great, Gilley! Too bad about the oversleeping, but still fab :great:

I was taking mine at bedtime, but I found it messed with my calcium supplement (gave me noxious burps ) I did notice better sleep. Hmmmmmm... I wonder how I can get around that???

I've been taking my Ktea about 40 minutes before dinner and acv right before. I seem to be doing ok. I'm at a stage where eating would normally be a challenge due to emotional issues. I'm doing ok. I'm eating more than just 2 or 3 bites before I'm all done -- I'm actually getting a real serving of food in me. This is a good thing.

Sharron - you and i seem to let emotions effect us the same.. i think that is how i got to gain all my weight.. i would go threw periods of time where i would eat but maby a bite... then i would nosh on everything in sight..

Sharron can you take your calcium in the morning? at least then you wouldnt be burping at nightjust might happen during the day.. lol..

I don't do the overeating since LC. I will overeat if I go off-plan, that is for sure! The craving monster hits something fierce! However, I do "eat but maybe a bite" a lot when I'm terribly upset.... and I really pack on the pounds then. I also struggle with making good choices. That is how I've regained my weight.

I cannot take calcium or magnesium during the day. They act as muscle relaxents for me and put me to sleep. The magnesium is particularly bad about that!

I tried taking them earlier than I normally do so I could take my ACV last night, then I completely forgot it! Du-uh

I finally found the Bragg ACV today, i was taking some old stuff i had in the back of the cabinet, but now i have the real deal, so lets see what happens. Gilley i got mine from our local grocery store and it was 4.99, i thought it was kinda high too, but hey i want the benefits im reading about.

Wow, i have had slight sniffles and lil congestion for a few days, but when i woke up this morning im not so congested, is it possible that after one day of this stuff its clearing up my congestion. Nah thats too fast. But my chest feels so light this morning, hmmmmmm. We'll see throughout the day and in the morning.

I read about it supressing appetites, but whoa. I usually have 1 cup lc cereal with .5 cup milk, my instincts told me to do only half my normal serving and if i wanted more then i would go back, but it took everything for me to finish that off, and i also normally eat a cup of yogurt in the morn. I did finish off the yogurt but now im feeling too stuffed, but i know i wont be eating or snacking much at work today so i had to get it all in me. Didnt even get to the green tea, i guess i will put that in the fridge and drink it later when i get off i guess. I can tell im definetly gonna have to do a lot of grazing with this stuff.

Amazing!

It just astounds me how folks respond to this stuff! That is why I devoted a whole page to it on my personal site, though. I responded the same.

For me at them moment, it is helping me to be able to eat when I would otherwise not be able to do so, as I mentioned the other day.

Still haven't figured out how to do it at night yet. When I did my Ktea at night I slept better, but this batch I had to use normal tea. It isn't decaf! Hmmmmmm... I need to think on this some more!

I'm so glad the ACV thread is so active. I'm really happy with my results too. So far...
1. I'm back down to my sig weight. I was 3.5lb heavier.
2. I don't know if this attributed to the ACV, but my body doesn't ache as much after a hard work out. (I'm also an aerobic instructor)
3. I sleep soundly at night because my boby doesn't ache.
4. Appetite had decrease tremendously!!!
5. Again, I don't know if this is because of the ACV, but I sweat MORE. At least this time around, I don't smell like vinegar. LOL
When I first tried using the ACV, I prepared it w/2 tbs instead of the current 2 tsp. LOL. I always came back from the gym smelling like pickle. EEewwww

ROFL at Kelli, hope i dont get that pickled smell, lol. I took a small to work with me today and they were staring at me like i was weird when they saw me drinking it, one girl asked are u drinking urine, i almost died laughing at her. Then i told her what it was and then she thought i was nuts for taking spoons of vinegar like that. So i had to give her whole the story behind why.

Oh, i normally snack all through the day, but i just was not able to today didnt even have the desire to snack, only had my bfast above and my late lunch was a grilled chicken salad. No snacks, wow i always have snacks, oh i did have a cup of green tea as well. I know this is not enough food, so i will have to figure out how to get more food in me. It's now my dinner time and i am just not hungry. i will go browse through the fridge and put something in me tho, have to keep the metabolism up.

Well, I skipped all my other night time supps last night and just had my acv. I slept for a single four hour stretch. That has not been happening for a while! I'm sure it was the acv.

I too found that a day without acv is unbearable!! Two days of the horried hungries till my body clicked back into normal!

Sharron, are you taking it just before going to bed?? I'd love to get a 4 hour streach of sleep!

Gilley - are you retaining as much water as you used to??? Think I'm in the same boat, but if it wasn't for not being able to get my wedding ring on today I wouldn't have thought about it. No other bloat pre TOM symptoms (which is really good)

This could be me, but I have noticed a REAL improvement in mood swings - have the rest of you noticed this too???
