Hang in there Laureen! Yes, the first three days are a pain in the south end of a northbound horse, but it WILL get better and you WILL be very pleased and proud of yourself once you get through them, and next Sunday when you weigh in and report at Roll Call.

You can do anything for just three days, can't you?

I really, really want to see you succeed at this, because I wish so much that this was a tool I had had when I was in my twenties. What a difference it would have made in my life!

You are in the right place for lots of support -- call on us as much as you need us right now to get through. PM or email me if you want or need to at all. And good luck -- you CAN do this!

Hi Laureen,
Sorry you're having a rough 1st day.

Water...water...water!!!!
....and a couple aspirins should fix you up...

"South end of a northbound horse"!?!?!?! LOL

ANYWHO.....Hang in there, Laureen! The crappiness of the first few days is more than made up for by how wonderful you'll feel later. I was one of the unfortunate people that had a horrible first 3 days. It can be done!

Hi Laureen!
Those first few days are rough. But you'll be AMAZED at how much better you feel once you get over the first hump.

Come read the boards if you need a lift, it's always here for you.

I wanted to DIE the first 3 days because of my headache...that by the way lasted all 3 days and was the worst on the second and third day. Seriously it was horrible..............however...............it does pass. Try Motrin if you can and go as high as 800mg if you don't have any medical reason not to (live problems ect.). Use a wet wash cloth and go to bed early and try and sleep it off. It sucks Wish I had my aim on at work but I can't. I'm an aol user too, I just don't get to use it during the day except checking my email. I wish we had instant messaging on here...that would ROCK when we saw others online for some actual one-on-one chat time when we need it the most.

Sweetie all I can tell you is let it pass and think about all the garbage trying to escape your body right now. Drink as much water as you can and my health advisor told me to eat some celery and salt or boulion (sp?) because we need some salt.

HANG IN THERE BECAUSE YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
CHEERS!

Hi there!! So glad your headaches are gone!!! Having salt helps the dizziness BIG TIME...eat your 2 pickles and drink Bullion or add it to your soups. Believe it or not - it cured the dizziness for me!!

Hang in there!! Nothing but skinny-city ahead after this hurdle!!

Today is day three for me and thought I would do fine, the first day I had a BAD headache and took excedrin and laid down and it went away, Day two I felt weak and dizzy but pushed on, Today has been HARD. And I have the start of a headache and it is late so I hope the Excedrin will kick in so I can sleep. I am worried with the weekend coming up, I always cook large dinners for my Family on weekends becuase during the week it is to hard with school and keeping up with our business! (self employed) And to top it off we are in the process of building our new house so my parents have been coming up every sunday to see the progree and so I cook for them too. This weekend they all want me to make sour cream chicken enchaladas......yum! But I know I can't have them. I HOPE I can make it through that meal! I have been doing the total fast, no lean & green. I so hope this works for me. I have 100 pounds to loose and I am so tired of carrying all this weight around. My Daughter is graduating this May and I so hoped to have some weight off by then. This is going to be a hard road for me! I have turned to food as comfort and as enjoyment at times and I need to get past that! I have a long road ahead of me! I hope I can make it! I know once I get this weight off I will feel so much better and Look much better. I just need to keep telling myself not to give up. No matter how stressed I get I need to stick to the plan. Oh I am so glad i found this site!!! I love to come in and read the boards. It helps so much. Since I ordered off of the MF website I though I would have a "helper" who would contact me and I haven't heard from anyone so I started searching the web and found you all. THANK GOODNESS! It has helped so much! Thank you!!!

Hey guest - don't forget to have some bouillon or fast soups (if you ordered them). Especially the first couple weeks. I didn't and felt like CRAP for a week.
