5 PDT folks

Bex,  Would it be rude to ask how tall you are?  You must be sooooo tiny!  I am 5'5".  My lowest was 148 last year, just one minute-may I add, and I felt frail.  But, right now I am close to that again and I certainly don't feel frail at all.  Really kind of flabby.

Teach

(i know 121 sounds sooo tiny - but i love her pic! she looks great!!)

Morning all, RIGHT ON TEACH!!! Thats awesome!! Doesnt it make you pumped for more?!?!? I am seriously scared of the carb monster & think that i just might back slide once off the 5dpt.   The only carbs i dont do well on are rice & some pastas. & it was kinda difficult to walk past the loaf of sour dough on the 1st day 2. im so use to having bread w/ my soup! I suffered last night - but im going to keep going.  Mostly b/c im beginning to recognise the "full feeling" again & i think thats a good thing :) Keep going you guys!! Your doing great

Candace, Yes it does make me pumped.  And I am frightened by the carb monster.  Actually pasta has been a staple for me for a long time.  I have never been good with making sure protein was first, never.  I really ate what went down best.  That would be pasta with tomato sauce and berries with milk, things like that.  Isn't that terrible?  I am working on it.  You know, summer is much better than the school year for me to work on this.  During the school year I am so focused on that and my own family that I tend to forget me.  I have really enjoyed going back and forth with you, Candace, and all the rest here!  Thanks to all!

The feeling is mutual Mark :) I think all the back & forth on this board is really fun. all of the encouragment has kept me going & coming here has made me accountable in a way. 

GO CANDACE, GO CANDACE, GO!!!!!

I am so proud of all of you working on this 5 DPT!  I want to give it a try, but feel I would do better once I get through the holiday next week!  We're on vacation next week -- not really going anywhere, but I just think I would do better doing the 5 DPT the week after that!  I hope I can do as well as all of you seem to be doing!!  I'm a little nervous, but excited about doing it!

I am 5'1. 5'1.5 if I stand up straight! lol Go check out my pictures. 220lbs on a 5'1 body was tough. Oh, btw, in my avatar pic I weighed about 110 so it's misleading. In one of my more recent photos you can see my weight gain (i'm wearing a burgundy sleeveless top and print skirt) Bex

Bex, You are beatiful!  It looks like you are enjoying your time in Korea!  What a wonderful experience for you and your family!  I bet you have learned to much there.  I am near Wash. DC and get to see the Cherry Blossoms here too:)  Oh, I could not tell there was a weight gain, truly.  I think you look great, I really do.  And you look so very happy and having fun.

Holly, I agree with you....enjoy your vacation and start fresh after the 4th. OMG, it's almost here, isn't it? Oh, my life keeps getting busier with each passing day. The packers/movers come on the 2nd for the first wave of stuff...we ship our car on the 1st....oh, I shouldn't be thinking of this right now! LOLOL Holly, I'm blaming you! :-) Bex
