5 day pouch test

Mariposa, I hear you girl!!  I'm up 25lbs and I'm having a very hard time getting control and getting it back off;  I'm 5 years PO and it's only been this past year that it's crept back up...   I am in North Caroina but lurk here often since I grew up in San Diego, I like hearing what's going on in the old "hood"... lol!  Anyway, good luck on the 5 dpt and I think I'm going to start it again myself after reading your post. Take care girl!

Hi! I'm right there with you sister! i'm on day one of 5. Hungry...yep...but doing it! Stay in touch...email me if you need additional support.  Beatrice is supposed to be doing it to. I'll email here to see how she's doing. We can do this! Take care, Rachel

I'm glad I'm not the only one doing it.  I was going to wait until next week because my son and I are going to a concert Wednesday, but then next week we are going to begin celebrating my dh b-day, etc... and with all those excuses the weight continues to climb.  So, I sat myself down and decided NOW is the best time to get things under control. So... how was your day one?

I'm with you...no more excuses NOW. So day two and I'm grumpy! But doing it. And you?

Grumpy?  Grumpy?  Who you callin' GRUMPY??!! In fact, What's that??!!!  I'm growling all over the place.  If it's not me it's my stomach (ok, in my head)!!!   I can't wait to have some tuna tomorrow!  I already have my tuna with egg and tofu and my cottage cheese with egg.  Mmmmm... sounds gourmet.  I guess I'll be dreaming of my meal tomorrow.  haha.   My poor son will have to join me on my soft protein day for tomorrow instead of McCormick's.  Oh well... (sigh) I will make it up to him. I hope your day two was better than mine.  :) I am now getting my grumpy butt in a hot before I continue getting on everybody's nerves.  INCLUDING my own!!! Thanks for updating me.  I do hope it went well for you.

Yep, I'm starting tomorrow. Was supposed to start with Rachel, but she got ahead of me. Close enough to help each other get through this though! I'm shooting for 5 pounds in 5 days to get a good start. I'm going walking with my pooch tonight! Let's get sexy!!!!!!!!! I'm having a pool party in July and I don't want to have to do the neck to knee coverall thing. I'm sending supportive brain waves your way!

Walking is good!  I wish I didn't feel guilty about the time spent walking.  I have so little time that when I walk I am usually thinking of everything else I can be doing. 

Thanks for the positive/supportive waves.  I NEED THEM FOR SURE!!!

hello there Misleidy!    I just want to let you know that I am very proud of you and I am here to offer any support or help that I can. I understand how the weight can just creep up before you know it........and then you look back and it's "oh my!  what has happened?" But you are taking the right steps......identifying it, going forward! You will do it.  I know you will!   Please also know that I am here to listen at anytime you need a friend! Love your SP!!!   phattygirl2  XXXO

Phatty girl, Thank you for the support!!!  I truly appreciatte it.  This 'creep' is just getting out of hand and I had to do something to stop it!  Although it is a constant struggle, I can say with certainty, I will NEVER allow myself to be as unhealthy as I once was. I do feel soooo lucky you are my SP!!!!

Hi all,  I am 3 years out and starting to gain some weight ( 15 pounds) back.  I need to pull it back together.  Thanks
