I canNOT believe this... I had the most beautiful, touching, wonderful 1st post to this new thread and "POOF!" -- it's gone!

Maybe it's the cyber-world telling me it's time to get to bed... good night, my lovelies!!

Back from the baby shower! OMLORD OMIGHTY it was a hard day.... between cake, icecream, sherbert punch and tons of snacky foods..... I did have about 1 cup of a spin/artichoke dip (NO CHIPS) It was so good, and LOW carb so I justified it that way... I ate it with a spoon.. I got the recipe and will put it down on "paper" later........

So today.........

Lemon Tonic (24 oz)

coffee w/ sf creamer

60 oz's of plain Water

Bowl of Ham and cheese soup for Breakfast

Spin Dip for lunch

Bowl of Ham and chees soup for dinner (but I'm not hungry yet)

So all told I'm pretty damn proud of myself for my day two.

I am ditching my party plans for tonight and DH and I are going to use our gift cert to the local movie theater... it will be hard to stick with water only, but I'm almost through day 2....

Wow tracy - that is impressive you did so well

well, made the soup with extra ham... it was as good as i thought it was going to be... oh wait, i think it was better!

Alex (DD) even loved it and said we should make it more often, it was quick and filling and really good

she is so funny

anyway, lets see how I digest this without my gall bladder

Terry - can you post the link for the plan? I lost it being gone for so many days and didn't save it in my favorites

Okay - today is my first day of "The 5 day Pouch Test" -

We took doggie and went to "PetSmart" he was so funny there. I got a few toys for the kitties so they are all zoned out right now on the catnip.

Haydee, so glad you are back. I missed you.

I need to go read the rules for tomorrows eating. We get to go to solid proteins now, right? I'll read up on it.

Ya'll sold me on the soup, I'm not doin the test but the soup sounds good.. I likely won't do tofu tho, is that to up the protein or something?

Gina

thanks for posting that - I saved it this time

I wish i could do it right now with you all, but i'm happy that i could eat the soup, i'll start there.

can't wait to get rid of the bloat so i know where i really stand

night everyone

just took more drugs so i can sleep

Ya'll sold me on the soup, I'm not doin the test but the soup sounds good.. I likely won't do tofu tho, is that to up the protein or something?

I used a lb of sliced black forest ham (which was just about dbl) and chopped it up really small.

I knew i couldn't stomach the tofu either.

Goodnight SHRINKIN' VIOLETS :tt2: :mad:

You guys are all doing so well on your eating!!! Big congrats to everyone!!! Susie, Both Tracys, Gina, Kat, Terry, Judy, and Bob. I am sure I am forgetting someone!

I think I need to start a new thread

Seamburstin violets or something similar.

Still haven't heard about the broncoscopy. That is driving me nuts!! I bet they don't have any problems getting a hold of me for the bill.

Did anyone see the football game tonight with San Diego and some other team? They have this guy who is 5 feet 6 inches who is amazing. It just looks funny because he is literally at least 1/2 the other guys size!! His last name starts with an "S". Too cute!!

Well I am going to bed. Have a good Sunday everyone!!!

Hi everyone - Just got back from a girlfriends birthday party and I was good! I had made the black bean/chorizo soup tonight which was very good and VERY filling. I had about a cup and it held me for 4.5 hours!! At the party I had 1/2 of a glass of champagne. :tt2: Yay me. I didn't realize we moved on to solid proteins tomorrow already! I thought it was 3 days of liquids? So, duh...I've got a BUNCH o' soup around here! I may go ahead and do one more day just to finish them off. Congrats to all of you for doing so well on the plan!

Janie - I lol'd at the 'seambusting violets'!! You'll get back on track and your band will be ready and waiting to do it's thing!

I'm going nitey-nite. zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Yep we watched the game Jane, he is funny looking, even among "normal" sized men he is small, let alone among the giants of the NFL!!!

We went to a game when a friend played for the Ravens the year they won the Superbowl, and we went down on the field with Frankie after the game, even though I was at my fattest, I felt little among those guys. Now they had pads, and I did not, and I easily weighed right up there with them, but they were all huge it seemed!!!!!

I am doing an exercise thing with the other thread I post on daily---my New Jersey friends!!! Yeah, I am well aware that I am in NM not NJ!!! We have a

"Lookin' fine in 2009" theme goin' on----hope it helps me!!!

If anyone wants to join in, they are another great group here on LBT!!! Most of them, like most of us, just hang out in the threads they are comfy with, not all over the boards much. I would love to have any of you there!! And I am not the only one not from NJ!!! In fact, there may be more of us NOT from there than there are that ARE!!!

It is snowing again.....geeesh is is never gonna stop? I inherit this dog, and have yet to get him used to going on daily walks!

Well I am off to bed.....see y'all tomorrow!

Kat

Good Morning, Violets..

Freezin rain here. Same situation as Christmas Eve. Bob goes in early and I'm supposed to wait for Kris and Nathan, but I'm going to go in with him today. I don't want to miss his last Sunday there and I don't think the kids will be able pick me up. We're supposed to have freezing rain snow and sleet all day today.

I reset my ticker to show the weight I started at on Jan. 2 So I've lost 3 pounds which I'm happy with. We add soft protein today so that means eggs, eggs and more eggs, plus yogurt. I know I can do it if I can make it past the reception after church today.

Everyone have a great day. We're all doing great and need to be proud of ourselves!!!

Good Morning gals

I guess i'm technically 2 days behind since i started Soup yesterday

I am still bloated but getting there, down to 204 (-7lbs) since i got home. It amazes me how much that stuff makes you gain. I don't think I can get my jeans on yet so there is a few more lbs left. I didn't do much of anything yesterday and feel horrible today - I feel like my stomach is empty and someone is stabbing a knife right through it - all the other pain is gone.

I might go to work for 1/2 day tomorrow to get payroll and some left over paperwork done - but not push it too hard.

Jane

Call your dr in the morning for the results - you need to get fixed too!
