Hey Coach - you on the other side! Congrats, how're you feeling? No hunger, isn't it great? I'm into week 8 and still no hunger, although I'm just beginning to feel is something new, it is strange. I can tell when my new little tummy is empty. Very interesting feeling, not like hunger, but if this is my new hunger, it is ok! It isn't anything that makes me want to go eat though. Good luck to you, when do two a days start, or have they already?!!!
