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?

I wondered what that asterick meant. LOL

WTG, Luluc!!!!!!

Harley, yeah!!! We made it through today. I have to keep coming here for inspiration. I keep seeing Heba.

I can't wait to get a egg and some meat.

Is anyone looking at Diet Tribe on Lifetime?

Is anyone looking at Diet Tribe on Lifetime?

I recorded it last night. I am hoping to watch it today.

I am beginning day two of liquids and so far so good. I had a fill yesterday so that is helping big time! Yeah!!

Made partially through the 1st day. Back to the gym with regular workout. Then aftrernoon 3 mile walk. Morning protein shake , light lunch with solid protein and protein shake for dinner, lots more water again. down 1.5 pounds. Back to gym for day 3. very sore agian today. Good, I deserve it, looking for more pain tommorow. I have 2.5 weeks before I am back to Dr. Need to get down another 2 lb. Burn baby burn. I'm a hangin in there. Jump start that burn again and again. Thanks for the push, youall are great. I am not alone!!:tongue2:

I'm going to call the office today and see if Paul is available next Monday. I'm up 3 pounds from my lowest! :wub: I ate out a LOT the last 10 days or so with company here and all, but I didn't make bad choices. However, I can eat pretty well still...

It's day 2; and I am sitting here sipping my cheesecake/p-nut butter protein shake and it is soooo good. I have been looking for that list of protein shake mixes. I printed off a copy and have misplaced it. If anyone on here remembers where I can find it, please let me know.

I watched Diet Tribe last night and it was okay. One of the girls attitude stunk, but mine probably did too when I started this journey, only I wasn't on nationwide TV. While I was watching it, I started thinking about food and REALLY wanted to go and eat, but looking at the show really helped me, so after it went off, I took my hungry butt to bed.

How is everyone else doing?

I'm doing great! Well I fell off the wagon a bit but I'm down six pounds since I started detox...back on track! Going to get my butt moving this afternoon too - hitting the much needed gym. I'm going to check into some personal training too...I need someone to yell at me (do you have to pay extra for yelling?)

Starting day two here!

I'm going to wait and have the protein shake just before I leave the house instead of my regular breakfast time. I did find that I got pretty hungry at work yesterday.....of course, nothing that a gigantic glass of water didn't help me manage. It gave me that sense of empowerment again not to go to the giant box of See's Candy or jar of truffles that are still sitting on the counter at work!

I'll boil up some eggs tonight in preparation for tomorrow....and the other good thing was I'm down two of the pounds that I'd gained over Christmas!

What did you eat for breakfast? I am going to have Soup (Ham and split pea) for lunch. Maybe a yogurt before workout and after, another shake, for dinner, the other half of soup. The calorie and carbs are a bit high for the soup, but that's all I have here at wk. I think I'll boil some eggs also tonight. Have me a boiled egg for breakfast and my good ole tuna for lunch. We actually get to chew tomorrow.:wub:

Here you go.

Thanks, Slim-N-Trim. I have it as a favorite on my computer, maybe now I will remember to find it.

I have it saved on my computer as well. It is always good to go back to.

Day-um, girl!! Way to go!!! Okay, so that means you get rid of that purple asterisk now, right? :wub:

it's gone!:tt1:

i love that protein drink list - SO wish i had it post op, as i really struggled finding one i liked....now i'm adding them to the diet because they taste so good.

my husband is very tight in the AM, and i make him a shake daily - he loves the strawberry cheesecake.

i take a EAS carb control strawberry shake, add tablespoon of SF cheesecake pudding mix and throw some frozen strawberries in as ice cubes..

i'm trying to get a bit creative w/the protein powder - macmadame in the food / nutrition forum has protein muffins in the recp threads......been playing around with those which have been a nice treat.

Alright I am starting my detox, tomorrow! I am ready!

Those recipes sound great! Thanks for sharing. :wub:)
