I'm going to start the pouch test on Monday. I'm waiting because my son's birthday is this weekend and there will be too many bad carbs hanging around.

Is anyone else going to start then?

Judy

I've al l ready started but I will be here for you, I've had a hard time for many reason like staying at my friends house, but I made it to day three. So keep in touch.

i did it last week for 5 days and felt so much better physically... although emotionally it was rough.... i want to do it again 1 more time starting tomorrow so ladies im in too.....

somehow one of the girls last week made like a little group thru the email so that all 6 of us could send updates to eachother...

so if u want to email me thru sophiehoran@hotmail.com.... then each time a new person (should that be the case) adds on we add the email to the reply to line then we can keep each other motivated and up to date...


it was FABULOUS....

I am also starting tomorrow.. lets keep in touch! Good luck, its wonderful to get control again!

I'm in. Tomorrow's the big day. Just going to make some pumpkin sausage soup now. Wish me luck with the soy sausage!

Oh Karen! I'm super curious how the soy sausage works out for you. Now, I've never made the famous soup, but have read about how super fantastic it is. Be sure to post your "updated" recipe for future Vegan 5DPT'ers!

I started today. I'm interested in the soy soup too, as I don't like sausage. Let me know, ok?

I just finished making the soup. I think that when adapting it from real sausage to soy, one should use a smaller amount. I used 16 oz. of the soy sausage, as the recipie called for 16 oz. sausage. SO, I tasted it, and think it tastes good but too sausage-y (mind you I have no clue what it's supposed to taste like) and then I remembered that if I were using pork or beef sausage, it would have shrunk, right? It seems like there's a lot of "solid" in my soup, so I think I'll blend it...probably not necessary, but I think I'll feel more like I'm drinking a liquid rather than eating a solid. Maybe next time I'll only use 8 or 10 oz. of sausage, but it's still good, and I'm looking forward to eating it tomorrow.

I really need this 5dpt...since I had the mushrooms & onions out, for my supper I fried up some more in Pam, added one egg and 1/2 slice low fat cheese; It was quite tasty, but I'm still hungry. In 45 minutes I'll have a shake and stick to water for the rest of tonight. I can't wait to feel that feeling of being satisfied without eating so much that I feel too full!

I'm doing it again this week...I get to day 4 and sabatoge myself one way or another...I will begin it tomorrow morning and even though I will be cooking for my family all week...i am determined to do it...i need to lose the 15 I have regained since getting married 2 years....

WALK AWAY FROM THE CAKE! *said on a bullhorn* LOL

Seriously though - Birthdays are just another day... there are plenty of good choices!

Good luck on the 5dpt

Sending everyone that is starting or already doing the 5 DPT high fives and sending you lots of support I know that you all can do it.....keep us posted Good Luck and enjoy your new found confidence as you complete the test...hugs

I am starting again today too! I had already posted a new topic on it- then I realized there already was one! Oops! I am new to all this! I made it to day 4 last week and had trouble with Valentine's Day. But I lost 4 pounds so I am a believer! Just not looking forward to the headaches I know I will get because I did have carbs this weekend. It will be good to talk to others who are going through the same things! Good Luck all!

I did eat a piece of cake yesterday. I need to get rid of it. Nobody is going to eat it .

I've already got a headache, but I'm working through it. I'm sure I'll have a good day today and probably tomorrow. It's the 3rd day on that I'm worried about. I have a hard time not giving in to food temptation.

Thanks for all the support.

Judy

I'm nearly thru the first day. No problems here. Tomorrow will be day 2. And, I've got a friend doing this with me. I printed all of the materials and we have been reviewing them. So far, so good!
