Hello all

I am starting my holiday detox early. I fell off the bandwagon and gained.....gasp 7 pounds! SH*T.....so instead of waiting for the holidays to officially be over and add to the total I have decided to start a detox program for myself early....

I am going on a few days of liquids only, followed by the 5 day pouch diet. I figure it it an easy way to get back on track.

Anyone want to join me and NOT wait until 2009 to get those holiday pounds off?

My world too. Vodka, that's okay, right?

ABSOLUTE ' ly - i like belvedere myself:)

OMG Juli - the mental image (my retinas are burned)...LOL

Okay - FINE - I admit it I'm a recovering Scale Whore Too...you people are going to make me fall off of the wagon. Tomorrow it is - weigh in! I cannot hold myself responsible if it isn't the number I wish...

(pst...Lulu - your DH may need to send me your "lost" scale..ah hem...mine may be riddled with shotgun pellets or even better dented from a hammer -- oohhh that sounds like fun!)

I am a scale addict as well. I like to weigh myself before potty time and then after to see how much I lost!

I had one ran over by a truck....truly horrible...lol..

I am ready to start protein!

How is everyone else doing??

Here's something, I went for a pear, peeled of course, instead of something like pretzels or cheese.

It's a little slow going down, but yeah, I feel like that's a reasonable choice as far as food goes.

As an aside, no desire to hyjack, but anyone twitter?

twitter? huh?

Social networking site. Mini blogging. Random thoughts shared with many people...

This is a great demystification post on it. BTW, also about my most favorite motivational blogger ever too.

Twitter demystified and debunked

Work has me blocked - will have to check it out when I get home. Always looking for motivation and yes a place to whine...if you are going to do something, do it well! Thanks J!

I would love to join in on this party if it is not too late! I have got to get my a$$ is gear. I have just slacked off and I don't have a good reason for it!

I do have a question for all of you. If you have a dialated esphogus and you do liquids for a fews days does the esphogus revert back to normal?

Welcome Becky! You are more than welcome. Some of us have started some have not.

As for the esphogus, I have no good answer. Sorry! I would ask your Dr.

So I do believe that I will ABSOLUTEly be having a mixed drink on New Years Eve this year. I have a 4 year old son who will be spending the night at his grandmothers, and I intend to take full advantage of the situation. We plan to go out, somewhere, and one drink won't kill me, it will just knock me on my a$$, that's all.

I've moved on to mushies tonight, having baked ricotta cheese with marinara sauce. I made about 1/2 cup of cheese with a 1/4 cup of sauce, and it is so good, but I am getting full quickly, which is a great thing. I'll be back to liquids tomorrow as I just made broccoli cheese Soup for my lunch.

Hope everyone's having a great day.

It is so great to see everyone is doing well. I am so glad to know that I am not the only one that steps on the scale before and after going potty just to see what the difference was. I can't go in there without stepping on it once. Did my smoothie this morning and it actually held me for several hours. I felt so full! I have NEVER felt like that from my protein drink. I am so glad that you started this BBK!

I just made my protein drink into a soft serve! It was soooo good! I am glad I got the machine for Christmas!

This thread has been a godsend. I started liquids today and I feel so much better. I have been sipping on Special K Protein Water and it really does take the cravings away. I had my lap band surgery Nov. 20th of this year and have only lost 13 pounds. However, I have been able to eat more than I thought possible during this Christmas holiday. The good news is that I haven't gained any weight, but the bad news is that I am not losing as I would have had I not overindulged myself!

I was so... happy to see this thread and I hope with the new year, will come the new attitude that someone mentioned in their post. You guys are great!

Hi All,

I am doing well.I have been doing liquid for the most part except i had some black bean soup today. All in all everything is going well.

I am glad everyone is doing well

My surgeon actually told me a story about one of his male patients that refused to weigh in with clothes on.

They finally had to move the scales into the patient room when he comes to weigh LOFL

The last time I went to get a fill, I said it sure would be nice to weigh naked, and the assistant said, many people do. So, I dropped my drawers and was sitting in my undies when the doc came in.
