Day 3 of P.1 & I am down an even 10 pds!

I have been lurking here for weeks now. I asked the questions I had after I read the book and then after meeting with my Dr. and Thyroid Dr. to get their approval on starting - I finally started this past Tuesday! It is tough not having fruits - but, I have learned to sub. crystal light or fat free jello when I get that craving. AND - I am getting these HORRIBLE HEADACHES! They never seem to go away! But, after seeing all this weight I am dropping-there is no way I am going to mess this diet up. I have not cheated at all!

Besides the headaches...I feel awesome. I have more energy. Just in 3 days. I am so happy to have finally started and I am looking forward to getting to my goal. I needed to lose 80 pounds. I put 60 on after Jan. of last year when I miscarried my daughter (I was 6 months pregnant). My only Daughter (we have 2 boys) and it really hit me hard...I kept gaining and gaining. Anyway, 80 seems like alot...but, now 70 seems a little better!

I can't wait to see the difference. I can already feel it - thats for sure!

Loving this~

Teresa - So sorry to hear of your sadness. I can't imagine that kind of pain or what I might have done to find relief from it. Your two boys had to have been a huge comfort to you.

But I'm thrilled that you delurked and have had success on the beach. Hope it continues for you.

On the headaches: Were you a caffeine drinker who quit? That sudden cold-turkey quitting can cause bad headaches.

Well, yes - but I only drank a cup of coffee a day - I still get to have that. With fat free half anf half of course but, I did drink a few cokes a day also and now I don't obviously. I don't know - but, I still had a headache yesterday but, it was milder. Today I don't feel it - YET! Maybe its the detoxing, maybe its the caffeine. I don't know but, it hurts and its keeping me from working out as much as I would like to.

Thanks,

Teresa

Congratulations on your weight loss!! Im sure your angel is proud of you. Can you tell me what you ate for breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner? Also, what types of excercises are you doing? I've fallen off the wagon and am trying to get different ideas from people who are having success such as yourself. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks in advance:-) Marietta.
