I thought so to about the caffeine but after 1 week I was ok. I'm a starbucks addict :( But for the kick in the morning I have fruit (usually an apple) it works great with the natural sugar kick. I'm not doing atkins but its similar but different combinations and with fruit. I love it.

sounds alot healthier than atkins heh

I tired to cut down on caffeine once..i stopped drinking it after 7pm for a couple nights. I woke up and felt like someone was driving a screwdriver in my temples, so i quit that nonsense :lol:

im always impressed with anyone who can give stuff liek that up, i know its rough :thumbs:

It's tough ... very tough. I just pray my hubby survives :P

Hey Moh..of course I didnt forget aboutcha! Your our one brother on the couch.

Well, at least you got an answer as to why they are lagging with your case. Im so sorry to hear you are in security checks. :(

Some people sail through, other get every road block thrown in front of them for no good reason :crying: You can look on the bright side and think maybe it will save you from potential AP post interview (only thing that keeps me sane).

I have no idea how long it may take, but we had someone in our K3 group who was in security checks during their UCSIS part of the journey and she was approved only a month behind the rest of us who filed around the same time. So hopefully it will only add 4-6 weeks?

I feel for you, but arent you glad you at least know whats going on? Its better than being kept in the dark.

Now, have a favorite comfort food? Jackie and I like chocolate and ice cream like typical chicks :lol:

whattaya have my friend?

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!
