Congrats, Chardonnay40! You are in the final stretch! I’m envious. Best wishes for the rest of your journey.

Been there done that

Glad to see you are pumped and having fun - Congratulations and it will be the best decision you made! Reach out and ask this place is loaded with success stories and knowledge - FYI don't forget water!

Thanks everyone. Day 1 was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I did not crave food. Day 2 may be another story as we get catered breakfast/lunch tues-th at work. Lucky for me, the food is downstairs and I am upstairs.

I also have a headache today (as expected) but in all I am still pumped.

Water water water. Yes Yes Yes. This is key.

Day 3 and still pumped. I have a headache but its manageable. I survived day 1 of my job's catered break/lunch.

Way to go! You'll be done your 14 days before you know it!

Yep! I'm on day 7. I just keep crossing each day off and say "I'm one day closer". I have the same diet too! All I know is that after this is over, I never want to even SEE another Propel water or zero vitamin water!!! ?
