Keep with the plan ladies and when its all done we can do a total weight loss and see as a group how much excess is gone. MARCH ON MARCHERS!!!!!!!! Kimberly

KIM! I swear you were literally like.... a hop skip and a jump away from me if you were at Delaware Park. I live like right there!!!! WOW! you won 3k! awesome!!!! hmm... maybe I should give it a shot. I have NEVER been to a casino before. Even though it is right the heck there. I've never been there. Never have the extra cash to gamble. But heck. I should give it a shot once in a while. congrats!!! WELL today is definitely a new day because i messed up BAD yesterday. I got so hungry I caved and got some peanuts out of the machine. i tried to stay with protein. BUT when i got home my DH was out in the back building a shed with my father and my son and he had me order pizza. 'sigh' papa johns. SO i was so darn hungry i couldn't resist. so today is a new day. I brought my protein drink with me this time. I'm hungry so i am going to have SOUP ONLY! and I know once i drink my isopure it will really really really help with my cravings. the protein boost always helps curb my appetite for some reason. i'm praying it will today. I should be good to go with the soup though. I know i have to get past these 3 days to kick that stupid sugar out of my system. I haven't gone all haywire on the sugar but i have carbs in me from the donughts i had on sunday. 'sigh' anyways... i'm ready to go today! and congrats on sticking with it and your win! Elizabeth M

O.K New day starting over. Not sure if I can do that all liquid thing, but will give it a try. Don't have enough protein for shakes or money to get any right now. So may have to wait to do this another time. Ladybug Marilyn

Darn it, I wish I would have known you were all doing this! I'm a day late and a dollar short, as usual...but I'm cheering everyone on!! Go Marchers! Kim, can you please post EXACTLY what you are eating, anything and everything that you are allowing yourself to eat - even brand names, e.g., if cream soups, what kind of cream soups? Can you eat/drink this stuff any time at all to satisfy hunger? How is everyone doing?? PAM!!! I drove right by "The Day" building today - it's rediculous that we are 5 minutes away from each other and we can't find 5 minutes to see each other! I swear you're giving me a complex, don't you like me, Pammie????? Maureen

Forgot one thing...each morning I did have one big mug of coffee with 6 splendas and non dairy powder creamer....my only bad vice, but its acceptable they say dont give up caffeine all together so thats my fix for the day...and if I dont have my morning coffee welllllllll lets just say Im in rare form LOL ...but thats it...nothing else so far

Its me the pain again....forgot the most important thing to list: MY 2 FLINTSTONE VITAMINS & 2 CALCIUM CITRATE PILLS (DAILY) Now thats it....nothing else in my belly

Day two but kinda day one for me or would it could it be day 1 & 1/2? Did very well this morning. For breakfast I had my protein shake then for snack I had diet jello and then had some chicken broth. had 2 cups of coffee before 11 and 2 - 8oz waters. whew. I did use a whole roll of toilet paper in the ladies room at work! It was a very busy day in newspaper land. Normally I'm out on the road between 9:30/10am and don't get back in house until 4ish. \since I'm cheap I always pack my lunch. So I'm prepared usually. Today becasue it was so busy I wasn't out on the road until after 1. My lunch was in the car but I could not take 5 minutes to run out to the parking garage to grab it. I did stick to my guns and NOT buy any pretzels from the candy machine! That I'm proud of! I was feeling the effects of dropping blood sugar. That was NOT fun. I did continue to drink and drink and drink. When I got to the car I had 2 cheese sticks and I wolfed them down so quick it made my tummy hurt. I had a diet jello too. I still was feeling that nasty low blood sugar thing so I had a protein bar too. That seemed to get everything to normal. \the rest of this work day continued to be very busy. I'm home now and had a jello snack. Keeping busy until supper time. I feel it was a good day. Hi Reenie, I'm not normally in the office. I'm usually out and about seeing customers. My territory is gales ferry & up towards plainfield. Never know exactly what time or day I'll be in any area. One of my dear friends for many years has an office job right in my territory and we've only been able to meet one time over this past 10 months of my being at the paper! One of these days we will have to try to meet for lunch. take care,

well yesterday ended very well. other than CONSTANTLY being in the bathroom @@ I NOW remember why I stopped doing this during the school year. so wit hthe traingin today I tried to do just as much liquid as I could HOLD... everything was locked up in this school so no ice, no shake... I gotta have my shakes like ice-y almost smoothie form. tomorrow is another day of training and blood work so that should be fun...wonder how many tubes they will suck outta me... I miss my mom. She always went with me to stuff like this and then would buy me a soda... I swear, she had terminal cancer and went with me to get bloodwork done and then BOUGHT me a freaking soda! LOL think I could take her a soda at the cemtery?? would they get mad??? I ma tired never mind... nic
