well good news to report. i claimed the 168# and inches are down...1 in waist; 1 in obliques, .5 inch under bust and .5 inch in the upper arm.

i just got my decaf coffee by mail order. i am enjoying that this morning. i've added a few pistachios the last couple days and over the weekend i will add in lc hot chocolate and some atkins ice cream. i am going to make some wings today too and use atkins bbq sauce. i will still stay away from cheese and cream and such.

the toughest days are coming. sunday i have to be on a low fiber diet. so i guess i just eat meat. anyone else have any idea what else i can eat? monday nothing but clear liquids and tuesday nothing but water until the colonoscopy is over. and i suspect just liquids again on tuesday or so they say. i will be glad to be done with this and i will be happy if they diagnose ibs and i can get on some zelnorm and be done with the abdominal bloat, gurgling and intestinal backup

wishing you all well and great success in getting through the weekend.
