OK gang...Day 5 came and went....stepped on the scale and I lost 5lbs...pretty good.. I was kind of expecting a little more...now don't scold me...see the thing is that I was eating ALOT before this test...carbs...anythinng actually...so by severely limiting what I WAS having...no I didn't go hungry on this test and the test woked...but the difference in the amount and quality of food intake was significant.

The only thing that I didn't do on this 5 day test was exercise. I have been sick this week and with the carb withdraw on top of that left me not wanting to do anytinhg but veg.

I am hoping by continuing with day 5-6 on a long term basis that I will lose weight. I am going to start exercising Monday...want to make sure that I am over this yucky sinus thing

Hey Smiles!

GREAT JOB on the pouch test! I just finished day 5 as well....I did NO exercise all week cuz ive had this head cold sinus thing all week myself...UGH! But I DID lose 6 lbs and once again..down to my LOWEST WEIGHT EVER!! Now ON to that 20 lbs EXTRA I want to drop!

Keep up the good work and I hope your feeling better!

Julie

Congrats on a job well done with the 5DPT. Keep up the good work and get that exercise in and you will be doing it automatically before you know it.

Jules, good job to you too! I don't know how you stuck to it being sick but hey, it worked so there ya go!

Thanks guys..=)

and congrats Julie..=)

That is one thing about eliminating the carbs in your life...they sort of fire up the body to be able to exercise, ya know what I mean? When you go to an "all protein" stretch, you just sort of feel "blob like". At least that is my experience. So, as you start adding back some carbs (like veggies, fruits and whole grains) be sure to take advantage of the natural "boost" and get that body moving! When you feel the lift in your spirit, jump up and dance! That's what carbs do for me...they make me WANT to smile, dance, walk, run, jump...LIVE!

Thanks Kim!..I'm hoping that is the case...I want to have energy again!

Rock on. You are doing it and living it.

Congrats on doing the 5dpt and gaining control!! good luck on the weight loss!

Congratulations!

Shrinking that pouch is the main thing - getting back to the ol' days...

Wishing you sweet success!

Hugs,

Nancy
