Little losses

Nanette! I'd be up for trying it again...maybe with some butt kickin' along the way! I had the same goal as you...back to basics! Love to get in the 160s soon, too! Jean

When should we start? I'll need to go to the grocery store to get prepared or I'll not be able to fini**** for sure!! Heidi, you in with us? Anyone else wanna join?

I'm with you. Though I don't know a good time to start. I'm going away this weekend.

Maybe there is no time like the present. Below you will find a brief list of the menu for each day. Please click the "Read more" links for further detail and hints and tips that will enable your success with the 5 Day Pouch Test.

Day 5: Solid Protein white meat poultry, beef steak, pork, lamb, wild game Read more. Good luck! I believe you are going to like the results when you give this plan an honest try.

Monday it is!! Let's keep each other honest all week. Heidi, are you already firmly in the 170's? I am just barely there, but still bouncing back into the 180's from time to time. My goal for this test is a firm 175. That would be 3-5 pounds (depending!) So, Jean and Heidi, what's your goal?? I'll start a new thread for us and invite others!! Thanks for joining in...there is always strength in numbers. Nanette

I'll be at the end of my weekend out of town so I won't be able to check in until Monday afternoon. I'll bring protein with me so I can start Monday morning. Good luck all. ps I'm not so firm in the 170's I bounced up to 180.5 this morning. (Keeping myself honest)

I'm going to start on Monday...got two weddings this week end and don't think I can give the plan my all til I'm back home. I REALLY want to do this right! Jean

After the 40 pound loss in June after surgery-- Ive been bouncing up and down the same two pounds since-- I am about 171 today. For me, I think the 5 day pouch test is stupid. I eat 900 calories of which are balanced 30% fat, 30% carbs and 40% protein-- if my body needs less to lose weight, then I am destined to stay 171. C'est la vie!
