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?

WOOHOO, it is day 2 and I feel great.

Keep up the good work everyone - the new year is looking good for the bandsters!

starting the pouch test today. liquids since sat night, has left me NOT hungry at all, i usually wake up hungry - not today.

i'm going to wait till after the 5 days to weigh myself. actually hubby stole the scale and i have no idea where it is and i WON'T weigh myself at the gym because i need to be nekkid :party:.

Rock on naked bandsters.

I'm on day two as well. Feeling less of a call for the sugar and other bad for me things.

w00t. I ran yesterday too eventhough my iPod was dead. It's charged now and I'm running again this afternoon!

The thought of me weighing naked has people at the Y running for the hills (i.e. pecan orchards)...lol...I haven't been on the scales for a while...I'm scared (after weighing in 2-3x a day - which it was going in the right direction).

I'm going to weigh next week though - after my full week is up...then post...I probably lost 5 pounds in water weight alone. OMG...my bladdar was on hyper-mode. Feel great today though!

I am starting liquids today. I have been so depressed that I have gained 11 lbs. I have been walking on the treadmill for 35 minutes everyday since Saturday, but I have been eating wrong. I am really glad to know that I am not alone. I have felt like a failure. Thanks for starting this thread and getting me motivated.

Hey Cheercoach! Glad to see you!!

I am a certified scale addict, so I weigh every time I go to the bathroom at home (I haven't figured out a way to get a scale into work without someone else seeing it). I am down 2 pounds since Friday (finally) so I am motivated to keep going. I second that toast! Here is to us! Forget waiting for Thursday.

My name is Heather and I am also a certified scale addict, lol. I swear I will weigh myself both before and after using the bathroom . . . first thing in the morning, last thing at night and sporadically during the day.

It is really too bad they don't make a shoe scale so you can stand on one foot and know where you are at a moments notice anywhere and everywhere, lol. If they put the read out on the bottom of your shoe, it might even improve the flexibility of the wearer, lol.

So now that you have come up with the great idea, you need to make that and patent it. I would be the first one in line to buy it.:party:

Okay, even though I'm not doing a kick-start (doing the five-day after-fill thingy), I'm down TWO POUNDS since yesterday! Lookie, I made a mini goal!!

Um, have you checked the living room right in front of his favorite chair?

Hi Girlz,

I'm posting so I can subscribe to the thread and keep watch! I plan on starting this weekend so I can cook some soups and such...I detest any kind of protein drinks. I think this is what I need to give me a kick in the ass.

Good luck to all of you!! :-)

Thanks BBK!

I am joing too. I just had my EAS 42gram protien shake and ran across this thread.

Thanks for sharing

Count me in!! I have a dilated esophagus and can't have a fill for another 10 days so I'm on liquid and soup. You want to talk about a wild pig. I ate and grazed like I hadn't eaten in 5 years.

Let's do it!

I will keep you posted on my progress.

This is gonna be so much fun. Good luck to everyone.
