Yes!

I had a cheeseburger from McD's once. I ate the meat and cheese. I hadn't eaten and was starting to feel yucky. It seemed to be the better of all the choices.

I just posted the error of my ways on Day One! I will try to make Day Two better.

I'm still hanging at 160. Grrr Have been here for weeks. I must be losing inches though because I can fit in a size 12 now. Did I tell you that I cried in Walmart when I tried the size 12 skirt on over my jean shorts???? Yup I bawled!

Since I work midnight shift, my day doesn't start until 2-3pm. So I will be a late poster. I'll start the thread on my shift the night before, but won't post my update until later in the evening. What was your weight this morning? 166.5 Do you want to check in with our weight each day or just wait until the end of the test to see how good you did? I'll probably post my weight each day. How are you feeling today? Any headaches? Upset stomach? Crankiness? Feelin' GOOD!!! A little head hunger, but resisting the snacking. Do you have any favorite recipes or tips for drinking your protein shakes? I did my chocolate protein shake with my 1/4 cup of strong instant decaf mixed in. Did you exercise? If so, what did you do? Nope didn't exercise. Planned on it, but went to pick meg up from daycare, then she was sick and wanted me to hold her. She ended up throwing up on me. What do you hope to achieve from doing the Five Day Pouch Test? I'd love to lose 5 pounds and BREAK THE SNACKING/GRAZING Pattern I have fallen into. Aside from Water and Protein shakes are you having anything else today? I had some protein soup I bought online when Dave had his surgery and I did end up eating a tablespoon of peanut butter. Other than that, just protein shakes and water, water, water. Did you plan a menu for the week to make sure you had everything on hand you need to get through these Five Days? I did plan a menu. I was very excited about starting this. Dave already petered out and I am left doing this alone in our household. His 6 month checkup is on Wednesday. He could have benefited from this, but NOOOOOO!!! Do you think this is going to be harder to do than it was when you had the surgery? Heck yeah, it's going to be harder. I'm used to eating and my pouch is, too. There really isn't any price to pay for eating something that I shouldn't right now, either, other than beign upset with myself. Whereas with the surgery you COULDN'T eat!!! There were consequences. Hope everyone has a successful week and acheives what they want out if it. hugs, Tabby
