Topic: RE: Thought of the day
WOW! Good thought for the day!! And how true! We are each individuals and need to step to the "music" we hear and what works for one does not always work for another. BUT we need to keep steppin" tho - RIGHT?????? And not quit or give up!!!
Topic: RE: I'M BACK!!
Ruth - you are such an inspiration to me! If I remember correctly, you had a lot trouble - you kept getting discouraged - am I remembering right? 
BUT you made it!! 
I am SO happy for you!!
Karen - we will do it! Ready set go - to the 100 lb mark!!
OK Andi - I had a strawberry protein shake, 1 glass of water and now a cup of cream of vegetable soup. I cleaned my cupboard and found all this "food" I had bought from my Dr office after my surgery so I figured I might as well use it up. AND most of it, of course is the liquids SO guess what I will be drinking!!
Thanks everyone for your inspiraiton to get on the stick AGAIN!
Love you all,
Darlene

I am starting the (5) day plan today as well. I am having a snack attack hourly lately and it's beginning to make me not feel well. I eat foods that I know are going to make me sick and when they do I still act shocked (what's up with that?) so today is the start of something big for me! Hugs., ANDI

Topic: Thought of the day
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862), Walden, Conclusion, 1854

HEY DARLENE~~~~welcome back long lost traveller 
It's good to hear from you. I'm so pleased I finally hit the 100 mark - it's been a struggle I can tell you. I've been soooooo frustrated at times. I've only stuck it out because of this board and all the support I've got from it. I know I would have thrown in the towel about 5,000 times by now otherwise.
I did the 5 day plan and it really suited me. I think next time I will just do a couple of days on fluids and not do the whole 5 days. I took the easy option and didn't cook, day 1 & 2 was protein shakes and water day 3 was tuna straight from a can and boiled egg day 4 was chilli and day 5 was roast chicken. I also had a few (about 5 or 6) raisins a day to snack, but nothing else. That way I couldn't get 'confused' as to what I should be eating!!
I say go for it, what have you got to lose except pounds It has helped me choose better snacks if I'm going to have them. I really think that if I hadnt' done it I woudl still be stuck!
SO glad to see you again Darlene - don't be a stranger~~~~

I also would love to try the 5 day plan,but I keep thinking....what would be a good day to start that??? EXCUSES ...EXCUSES!!! I need to make a grocery list and try so hard to NOT snack!! I am really going to try to try it!!!
But anyway,just thought I would let you know...I am right beside you!!!!!
