I think that is PERFECT.

Quick question: What is the reason we cannot have aspartime the artificial sweetner?

I don't know exactly why the IP program prohibits the use of artificial sweeteners, but I have a couple of theories:
  1. Perhaps artificial sweeteners may cause an insulin response in some people, which isn't giving the pancreas the time off it's supposed to get.
  2. Perhaps artificial sweeteners stimulate appetite or cause cravings (both would be bad on this plan).

Maybe someone else will chime in. Lucky for me, aspartame gives me headaches and tastes funny. No problem avoiding that.

Aspartame is probably the WORST sweeetner out there for you.
Ive read that it attacks like everything in your system and unfortunately its in ALOT of diet things.
We are allowed Sucralose = Splenda though.

Well cool!

My only lament is that it doesn't have a USB connection to upload and graph data to my computer, like my Omron pedometer and blood pressure meter do. (sigh)

I thought about that, too. I decided I'll just input the data into the computer each time I use it. I sit at a computer all day, every day...so no problem there.

Congrats Scott on such a huge victory, I'm very pumped for you.
Jordanna, happy birthday and way to go getting into skinny jeans!

Lots of NSVs for everyone. My ring is getting loose on my finger and I love it! Another weigh in today and down 3.6 pounds.

My coach told me to use Stevia sweetener and I like it. A little goes a long way. Hope everyone is adjusting to the daylight savings time. I'm exhausted. Have a great week!

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Jordanna! Happy birthday to you!

Good job on the weight loss! I'm so happy for you! You can just round that last pound and change up and say you lost about 40 pounds. You know you'll lose it this week.




Well done! Happy birthday!

PS Hope I didn't miss it, I'm still catching up on posts as I've been busy the past 2 days.

I put the blender ball thing in my mug and shook again (luckily I have a really good tight mug) and it was a little better, but I still get some chunks. I was afraid to put the hot liquid in the blender bottle because I recall someone having it explode on them. Any tips would be great! Thanks!
I use the chocolate and capaccino packets with my coffee. Mix them first with apx 4 oz of water and then add the amount of coffee you want. I find them delicious! Have it every morning!

Well thanks again to everyone for the kind birthday wishes. My day was GREAT! My husband got up with the baby and let me stay in bed, I wasn't sleeping but I did finish the book I've been reading and he brought me breakfast in bed (Vanilla pudding as a shake with Instant Decaf Coffee in it - my fav).

This afternoon we went and saw Alice in Wonderland. Dustin had popcorn and I had my bbq soy puffs as a birthday treat. Then we went out for dinner where I had steak and crab legs with a side of asparagus. Delicious.

I'm very proud of myself considering I was planning on going off plan for my birthday and then decided against it! Plus I really really really wanted popcorn

Cool
Has anyone heard of the MATOL diet plan? It is identical to the Ideal Protein plan. Here is a website that has some great testimonials with before and after pictures. I thought the pics were motivating.
