TODAYS ENTRY IN MY PROFILE!!

7/22/04: I finally lost something....besides my mind that is!!!! I am doing an all protein diet for at least a week...maybe 2. But I am also water loading. That helps SOOOO much! I drink 64 oz of crystal light with 1 1/2 scoops of Fuzzy Navel before a meal. This usually takes me 30 minutes...maybe 20 sometimes. Then I eat my protein. By then I am full and can only eat a little protein, like 3-4 oz. No veggies or fruits. Not for now. I think my body just doesn not handle carbs well at all. When I eat veggies and fruits, I don't lose. So if this is the case, I will do this as long as I can. Hopefully until goal (50 more lbs) and then I can eat the veggies and fruits to maintain. I know I started this yesterday but I lost 2 lbs overnight. I am now 206!!!!!!! This is what works for me. Joanne -68!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good for you~! keep up the good work

Thanks Lisa, This has been one hell of a struggle. Over 2 months and all I lost was 5 lbs. So I had to do something drastic. Lets hope it works. Hugs, Joanne

Congratulations! Thanks for being specific about how you water load. I may try that. I NEED to re-oder some new fuzzy navel. Thanks, Julie

I just reordered some myself. I go through a lot of it. I get 2 so I can save on shipping. hugs Joanne

Hey Joanne, I'm so glad you found something that's working for you. I think I've been snacking too much, so today I decided that I won't snack at all - only meals and see what happens. I bought a dress online for my class reunion Aug 6-8 and it's a little tight yet, so I definitely need to work a little harder the next couple weeks. I can't do only protein like you are (the jogging early AM requires some carbs or my workout suffers), but hearing this from you helps remind me how I need to eat, and how much more I really should be drinking. As always, your posts truly are appreciated. Linn

I was told that I was going to get very tired. But I live with that on a daily basis with or without carbs. Right now I am desperate. So I'll try anything once. Shot...thats how most of us got here, out of deperation. Joanne

I'm glad to hear that this is working for you! Hang in there, Joanne. I think you are doing fine! Linda -63

Thank you Linda. And you are doing great too!! Joanne

Joanne, You are actually drinking 64 oz of fluids 3 times a day!!! YIKES, if I did that I would be living in the bathroom. I get in 65 oz + during the day. Glad you found something that is working for you. Mary
