2nd Day of Challenge Roll Call

Good morning all, Sorry I didn't post last night. I had a head ache and went to bed early. I think it is caffine with draw. I will answer all post tonight after 9p.m. I just want all to know I am still here with you . Please do your postings. I did very well yesterday. Can't wait to see Mondays results. Did you all Pee Pee Pee yesterday? It is working then!!!! I have a support group meeting tonight and am working today . Looking forward to reading all post tonight. See all lighter. Joanne

Good morning, Joanne! Of course the sun is shining here in southern California today! It was just a fluke that it was raining yesterday. I, too, went to bed with a semi-headache. I think it was beer withdrawal It was hard to go back to all liquids when I know that I am able to eat solids. The one problem I have had is that, although I am peeing, I am not pooping. Just like the first two months after surgery!! Maybe this is what caused the headache. Hmmmmm . . . I'll think of something that will help. Here's to a great second day. Judy

Judy, You are so funny!!!! Beer Withdrawal? Right!!! I did read your post from yesterday and am very proud of you. I have done good today. I did think of eating just a bite a couple of times but thought of my goal each time. I didn't give in. I am peeing again today. No problem pooping either. Try a little V-8 juice. I also had homemade cream of broccoli soup yesterday. Full of fiber. Will let all know tonight what I ate today. I did have some chocolate decafe coffee. YUMMY!!! See you lighter. Joanne

It was late last night when I posted my first day challange and I have to make a correction. My starting weight was 289, and I put my current weight at 179 apparently I can't add ha ha it should have been 177. Ok now that it done. Day 2 YAHOO!!!! I am one of those that weighs everyday can't help it. I got on the scales this morning and I am at 176. One of the two extra lbs is gone. What I am excited about it once I get back to 175 getting over this hump and losing the last 25 lbs. I think my day will pretty much be the same as yesterday but I may change things around a bit from lunch and dinner to make it not seem exactly the same. Take care and I am cheering for all of you as well! Tara 289/176/150

Tara, Welcome to the challenge. My day will be about the same too. I have to finish the soup I made and then I'm buying can soup for variety. See you lighter. Joanne

Hi Everyone, That going to bed early must be contagious thru the time zones. I was asleep by 9:30 last nite. I think it is food withdrawl for me!! Seriously, yesterday was much harder than I thought it would be. I just wanted something to CHEW! But I made it and so far Day 2 is going okay. My meals will be a repeat of yesterday. B - Protein Shake made with 4 oz Skim & 4oz Crystal lite S - Yougurt L. - 1 c Beef Broth, 1/2 c sf jello S - Protein Shake made w all Crystal Lite D - 1 c Cream of Chicken Soup made w/Skim Milk S - Protein Shake 4oz Skim Milk, 4 oz Crystal lite I ended up with a total of 114 g Protein, 62 g Carbs and 742 calories. I'm thinking this is too much protein so I'm going to play with it today but that cuts back the calories and I dont want to go too much lower so I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Any suggestions? I was able to get in 64 oz of water / Crystal lite and I going to try to up that today. I didn't get any kind of exercise today cause it was a really crappy rainy day here and quite frankly I was too involved in what I was going to eat next. Hopefully today will be better.
