Ok went back to work today after 5 weeks off and I loved being off but ran out of money..lol  

I'm down 26 lbs and so excited.... Everyone at work was really happy to see me they all signed a card and gave me a $100.00 visa card!!! I can go shopping for skinny clothes in a few more months!!!!!   I could not believe they did that! What a nice thing to do...

Everything is going well with my foods I'm tolerating everything well NOTHING IS MAKING ME SICK..LOL  I wish something would..lol  Just scared I'll get back in my bad habbits again...
I'm sticking to the food plan and the "rules" it's hard but it will pay off...

Drinking is another story... Getting sick of shakes but I found one that taste good and has 35 grams of protein but takes me 2 hours to drink and and I don't finish the whole thing.
Also I find it very uncomfortable to drink liquids.. Does anyone else have/had this problem??
I can feel the liquid go through my plumbing and then get this weird feeling like it;s gurgling..lol  then I either have to burb or get the hicups a few times... I'm taking small sips It's just weird.  It doesn't bother me to eat as long as I follow the rules.

Oh one other thing I'm below 200lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!  I haven't been below 200 in years!!!!! I had to have my sister come in an look at the scale to make sure my eyes were right..lol  
Thanks sooo much for all your support!!!!
