Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Well friends, I haven't posted for a while but I monitor faithfully almost daily. Sometimes I get so behind in everyday things that I don't read everything until a lot later but at least I eventually get to it all and I am really interested in seeing how so many of you have jumped on the protein fasting bandwagon. LOL. Last summer I was shocked to see my weight start creeping up too. I had gained 15 pounds and I was devastated. I decided to go on a protein fast and asked for input from the group. Some of you were supportive of the idea and some were not. Long story short. I did not go on the protein fast. My current job ended and I went home to Phx. The change of scene, my attitude and the relief of being home and out of a bad (fast getting worse) situation gave me the incentive I needed at the time to cut out all the bad food habits I had slipped back into and get back to basics. It worked and I lost 12 of those 15 pounds in 2 weeks. But..................... I am back up 10 of those pounds now, (since Christmas) in a new job that I am not very happy with, my attitude stinks, etc., etc. I am late getting started but I am joining the 3 day protein fast too. I need to finish this journey that seems to have taken a lengthy detour. After 3 1/2 years I have still not reached my goal. I am very happy to have lost the 120 pounds (+15-12=123) that I have but I really need to loose the last 40 pounds to get to my original goal and be the person I started out to be. At 5' tall I am still considered overweight at 170 pounds. I had my cup of coffee this morning. (I have just one cup a day.) So here goes. The rest of the day and the next 2 days will tell if I have what it takes to get my xxxx together! Gettin back in tha groove, (does this date me? LOL) Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Janet, I too have gained about 11 lbs (gained another just last week!) since my surgery almost 2 years ago. I have decided just to go back to what worked initially, and that is, pretty much only a protein drink (about a quart throughout the morning, and it is a LONG morning for me; I am up at about 4 am), a sensible, protein filled lunch or a salad, an afternoon snack consisting of some sort of protein, and a reasonable dinner. And exercise! Best of luck to you!! We know what to do, and I believe we can do just that! Deanna Protein fasting Well friends, I haven't posted for a while but I monitor faithfully almost daily.
