Does it again!!!!!

Hello, the good ole 5 day pouch diet does it again. I lost that horrible birthday weekend gain plus one. So I am very happy also makes your pouch seem a bit smaller because last night when I added vegs to my dinner I was terribly full just after my protien. And when I did try to have a cheat yesterday it sent me running for the bathroom so it seems to jump start that tool again. So I am down from 235 to 229 hooray. I am still trying to get to the 100 pounds down. As I read all of your posts i wonder why I did so bad with this. My weight has been slow to leave me.I know I am so at fault. Many of you are in the 100's and are at weights I long to be ,I am still in the 200 and need a good smacking. That 18 months I have been dreading that everyone says is the ending of the lossing is creeping up for all of us and I fear I will never be close to where I need to be. I will be so happy to lose about 50 more. But not think it will happen. I will try though, anyway Molly and Melissa again thanks for the great 5 day, it has been a blesssing once again, hugs to all Kelly

Hi Kelly! You know what? You are doing great! We all have had our own ups and downs on this journey. For me the losing was easy.. the maintenance is *hell* for me.. not gonna lie. I have never gotten down to this weight and ever learned how to maintain it and it scares the heck out of me honestly. Thus, the anxiety, thus the bad eating patterns. Right now I am way up on my scale, higher than I like to be.. upper 140's today. A lot of it is water as I know i haven't been eating right. I am doing low carb for the next week in hopes to get it off.. lots of meat, shakes, cheese.. I don'****ch the fats (i know that sounds weird, but the more fat I eat the more satisfied I am between meals..) remember atkins? Yeah, it always worked for me. I am gonna have to figure out how to get it off then add carbs (good ones) back in sensibly without the cravings, this is my hard battle.. they make me crave like a crazy person, even good ones lately. So we are all in this together dear.. don't u fret, lets stay connected ok? You email me anytime u need to also.. I am here for you. *Hugs*

Kelly- I am with you....i am sure that i have told you that before....i am still in the upper 170's - at least i hope. I went on vacation, then my mil has been here for a week so i have been off my rocker for several weeks and scared out of my mind to get on the scale. I have been thinking about the 18th month as well...and there is no rule that says that we cannot keep losing - (course the further out we are the harder it gets) I am thinking that i prob need to partake in the 5dpt for the old jump start as well. Dont look at the "big picture" of 50 more pounds to lose- celebrate every loss and break them down into smaller pieces like 10# increments. That is what i am trying to do....Hang in there...I will if you will.....
