  1. well, today is a new day.....ready to start all over again. think positive and remember to keep doing exercise....don't feel bad, this is a constant battle and somedays are just not good. wish you luck.
  2. you must be real nervous, relax, stay focused, it's better if you lose weight and you'll feel better too. if you get the urge to eat, have a plan b so that you distract your attention and do other things, for example take a walk, read a book, see a movie.....goodluck.
  3. i'm surprised you were able to drink it all up, i tried it once and i couldn't finish half the glass!!! well, you'll know the next time.....sleep and rest....have a great one.
  4. i have eaten a bit too much and i've had to throw up.....which is a bummer really. but other than that, haven't had any other complication - i will give you Nina's number, why don't you give her a call - she works with Dr. Aceves, so she might be able to help you answer your questions. 619-9179028
  5. got to let go - you won't need them anymore, i'm sure you'll keep losing more and more....if not you'll maintain yourself in that same weight. pack up your clothes, somebody might need it more than you.....come on you can do it!!! goodluck.:thumbup:
