maddy .. I suspect that's really your body saying that you are still in recovering mode ... not that you lost that much stamina that quickly..., but way to keep working at it!

Lil ... wow!!!! I'm very impressed at the amount you are building at ... congrats on that!!!

IAKG ... wooooo hoooo about the meds .... YAY!!! that's so great, a huge jump in the very direction you wanted to go when you started this process .... congrats!!!

Galatea ... yea for the progress you are making ... we are all here doing things that we think will be more healthy choices ... sounds like you are making great positive changes!

Tess ... in case you didn't know this ... it takes about 2 weeks to get the sugar out of your system enough to stop the actual physical withdrawal and cravings ... after that then it's just the mental/emotional cravings ... I feed my sweet tooth with sugar free jello and a bit of fat free cool whip ... also the 100 calorie snack packs help in the really hard moments and you can't do nearly as much damage with them as with many other sweet treats ... way to stick to it ... we're so glad you've joined us and are making the changes you want!

I'm doing much better now that I'm past the worst of my hormone binge stuff ... think I'll make it through til the next one in about 4 weeks ...
