WHO IS READY? Let's start the 5 day pouch test Monday

Anyone want to join in?  I am starting tomorrow and hoping for a loss but also want to retrain my eating habits as I have gone nuts and eating everything including those afore mentioned nuts.   I'm up about 14 pounds and 3 years out.  My pouch is way stretched out.  14  pounds will become 24 then 34 and you know the rest!!  The time is now. Join me if you can and post.  Thanks Jane

Hi. I am new to posting. I am almost 4 yrs. (05.14.04) I have gained 25lbs. I was eating everything in sight! I am now eating clean - 1 week - and have lost 2 bs. Christine B

Hi Christine,   Good job.  I think that is a great start keep it up.   Jane

What is the 5 day pouch test ? I just had a baby girl 8wks ago....and need to lose baby weight...Plus I was only 8mo out when I got pg...so I never reached my goal weight...I need lots of help....  Lisa

Hi Lisa. Congrats on your new baby. If you are breast feeding, you want to talk to your doctor about dieting. But I just finished the 5DPT on Friday. Its designed to get you back to the basics diet wise. It may also have the effect of shrinking your pouch a bit. See 5daypouchtest.com Have fun with your little one! Rachel

Lisa,   Congratulations on the new baby,  there is nothing better.  I have 3 kids and although some days I would sell them cheap 99 days out of 100 I think being a mom is the best...... Jane

Jane...thanks so much...it's been 12yrs ....but a welcome surprise....It's alot of fun...now if I can lose the extra weight...first day pouch test was hard ...and I just blew it...but I am not going to give up...wish me luck.. Lisa

Hi Jane, I just finished my 5 day. As of yesterday, I lost 5lbs. But best of all it really helped my mind set. I was feeling so defeated. Like I had no control over my eating, my relationship with food, and my future weight gain. This really gave me the kick in the pants I needed. I'm taking this week off (still eating clean, but more calories) then starting again the following week. Wishing you well, Rachel 

Hi Rachel,   It was your posting earlier this week that inspired me.  Thanks for that.  Also I want that same kick in the pants to get my act together so I'm hoping this is it. Jane
