Way to go ValKyrie!!! You are an inspiration to me. When i feel like cheating (and sometimes i do cheat and then get MAD at myself), I'll remember you and your photos and spit it back out! Thanks for posting.
Keep going girls. don't give up! WE CAN DO THIS!!!
I've added almond flavoring to the chocolate pudding and it adds variety. I also add cinnamon to the vanilla.
I started working out more consistently and got jump started again.
What type of work out routines do you do? My coach said not to worry about exercise because it damages the muscles that I need to burn fat. I've never been an exerciser so I loved hearing this, but exercise was obviously a part of your success. Thanks
Lomg time i didnt post . Everything is going great ! the pouns are melting down , people are noticing the changes . Even if its not for that , that i am doing IP its always flaterring
I'm a newbie to IP and have only been on it for 3 days. I had lost some weight with diet and exercise but it had slowed to a halt over the past few months, so I thought I would try IP.
Any suggestions about the salt intake. I was told to have a full teaspoon of sea salt daily but the packs seem salty already and adding more makes them intolerable. Any sneaky ways of hiding the salt?
I love the omlettes with extra veggies and hot sauce, and the chili with extra mushrooms. The yoghurt was bleh but other than that, so far so good. Anyone tried freezing the yoghurt?
I love reading your inspirational stories and hope I will be successful to.
Try the sea salt on your veggies (along with other seasonings). But I agree - 1 tsp is a lot!
Is anyone in the US getting the ready-made puddings, or are these in Canada only?
Here's what my coach emailed to me regarding exercise:
Quote:
Light, low impact exercise is what we recommend if you must exercise. The reason we suggest low impact is because this is a very low calorie diet. To be more explanatory, it's about 800-900 calories a day. So if you start burning more than you're taking in, you'll begin burning your muscle mass since your body has nowhere else to pull from. We don't want this to
happen! We just want you to burn fat. So if you want to exercise, I would
add additional protein right after your workout. A lower carb item would be
best...like a drink or pudding. Or you could make your own protein like
chicken or turkey.
Hi all,
My IP info says 1/2 tsp salt. I put 1/4 tsp on each of my salads, or sometimes my vegies. Its pretty easy to get the salt that way.
Also, Salt is WAY important when you are drinking lots of water. Too little salt and you get hyponatremic (low blood sodium) this = light headed and can be SERIOUS if not taken care of. (I work in a hospital).
I forgot my salt one day and couldn't figure out why I felt almost dizzy. Popped a salt packet from the cafeteria and drank an Alka Seltzer and felt better fast!

WOW Valkyrie, did you take measurements too?....you look like a different person! Thanks for posting this! I hope I can post before/after pics like that in a few monthss.
I did take measurements... have lost over 55 inches!
I wish I would have thought to have them measure things like my neck.. my wrists... calves. Any of you guys just starting, I would suggest you do that.. just for fun
Maggie, just keep thinking about the end result and remember if you cheat you have to start all over again with that cruddy feeling for three days. It will all be worth it in the end. Remember nothing tastes as good as thin looks.
Congrats Valkyrie00, you look Fabbbbbulous. Have a great Sunday.
