Ruth, Very cool!!! Keep up the great work. Only 2lbs to go to the big 100!! Amy

Good luck Ruth. If you do well, I may try this. I am still at 158 and would like to move away from that 160 mark as soon as possible. Amy

So I'm coming to the end of my day three - it's been tough, but hopefully worth it. I've eaten protein shakes tuna and eggs, and I had a few raisins and bites of cucumber. Plus LOTS of water. I've got a cold at the moment, so probably not the best time to do this, so have been VERY tired, and still have a headache, but that could be down to having a late night last night (I was out working - no NOT what you are thinking ha ha) and the stress I'm dealing with rather than the lack of food. Looking forward to ground beef tomorrow - Bobbie, what have you been eating today? I was thinking of having chilli, what do you think? Piddles (AKA Andi ), how are you doing on day 3? Only a few days to go girls, we are on the downward slope - almost there, we can do it. I'm down 4 pounds ( and counting hopefully)

On day 3, I didn't feel like eating breakfast so it was another shake. I had tuna for lunch and dinner (I'm not too creative and my pouch really doesn't like eggs for some reason ) with shakes inbetween. It wasn't very exciting, but it was food I hope you're feeling better today!

While I lived in Dallas, I frequently couldn't go to the doctors for minor things as we couldn't afford the co-pay. I used to 'save' everything up and deal with it all in one go. I think it is disgraceful in a first world country. That said, the US does have extremly good health care and I do miss it. Next time, I would just budget more carefully and make it a priority. You can't mess around with your health, but sometimes I think they do overcharge if they can and are unscruprelous (sp?)
