Gotta get to work! Have a great Monday everyone! |
Erin-- bikini pic was so impressive. Not just that you look great but that you posed for the camera...
Pitakitten - I'm with you on the thighs. Actually my whole legs. 10 lbs off of each one should just about do it. Oh and the top of my arms too--- maybe 5 for each of them. Why can't we target weight loss?? Linden- you are so right. We will walk like crazy in italy but here's a ?? What to wear for shoes? You look so American in tennis shoes. A couple of years ago in Rome I wore black Merrill sandals. So comfortable but so ugly. Summer almost over?? This week's thread says August 1. I'm not done with July yet. Can someone please slow this all down??? I love summmmmmmmmmmmer. Cheating tip of the day-- have an extra packet or two if you must cheat. Then it really isn't cheating at all. That is how I've had only 3 cheats in 23 weeks. The other cheats I didn't count were when I had an IP bar or an extra drink-- much easier on your pancreas. |
Here is the NSV I had over the weekend... I tried on my prom dress that I wore to my best friends prom in 2003...

Good morning, everyone!!
Although I just couldn't drag my butt out of bed at 5:30 this morning to go to the track, I still feel pretty good about myself - due mostly in part that I cleaned out my drawers this weekend and I'm wearing a size smaller in top and bottoms today. I wasn't able to zip these capris up before and now they are very comfortable - not at all too tight. So yeah, me! :carrot: (Can you tell my kids like the Disney channel??) Anyhoo, I have my second weigh/measure tomorrow evening - wonder if I should start going for that in the mornings instead? With the sea salt, am I retaining a little fluid that I wouldn't have if I did it in the morning? Congrats to everyone for all their successes and triumphs!! You're all doing great!!:D Barbara One for every five pounds lost: :carrot: |
Hello everyone, I have been on vacation the last two weeks and last week was very bad. This past weekend was even worse. I cannot believe myself how bad I have been. Today I feel like crap and have made a promise to myself to be 100% all week. I did not see my coach last week but will see her this week no matter what the scale says !!! You all continue to inspire me and so thankful I can read all your successes.

So I tried my first restricted packet (Maple Oatmeal) this a.m. (middle of my 8th week on IP). My coach let me use her recipe book so I actually used two packets, mixed with 1 large egg white, a little Splenda, and some water to make a batter. Divided into two portions, spread in circles (4" across) on parchment paper and baked at 400 deg for 10 minutes. Ate one with WF strawberry jam...will save the other for next week or give to my coach. I was surprised that it made a chewy satisfying breakfast...thought I might miss my pudding shake but seems o.k. Now I'm praying that all will be good scale-wise this week..

What to wear for shoes? You look so American in tennis shoes. A couple of years ago in Rome I wore black Merrill sandals. So comfortable but so ugly.
[/I] I lllooooovvvvvveeeee Keens, Dansko's and Chaco's. All expensive brands, but definitely worth the price in comfort and how long they last. I agree, Merrill's are comfy, but extremely ugly! Thanks everyone for posting your NSV's this morning! FANTASTIC way to start a MONDAY:) |
OMG! First weigh in this morning... down 6.5 pounds and 8.5 inches! I feel really great and I even had a few looks as I was walking down the street in my tanktop. I heard I would have lost more if I ate more salad, but I just can't do the salad thing every day especially since I hate the WF dressings ewwww... I am experimenting with vinigarettes but nothing really cuts it just yet. I feel excited about this new week... hiding out in my house has helped LOL. Hope you all have a great week too!
I can't wait for my ticker! |
Way to go sillyputty! That is wonderful for your first week! Keep up the good work!

to lisa4972...I'm in Conyers!

FINALLY! I didn't screw up and post on the old thread, and the only reason I didn't is because you can't anymore. YaHoo!!
NOVAK - Thanks for all the info on the phases. I'm a lot less worried now. HOPEFULTRICIA - This is getting a little freaky. I'm going to Italy too! But the 3rd week in September. I also have been planning and hoping to reach Phase 2 by then. Which means I have to lose 21 lbs. in 8 weeks. JORDANA - CONGRATS!!! I spent 6 years on fertility drugs too! No luck. If only someone paid closer attention to my thyroid! Not to mention that all those fertility drugs got me heavy and kept me heavy. However, if I didn't go through all that I wouldn't have my wonderful 7 year old adopted Son. Things happen for a reason. I'm not surprised you were able to get pregnant after losing so much weight. KELSEY - Just wanted to make sure you know that I responded to you 3 weeks ago, and kept trying. |
TO EVERYONE:
I was informed by my coach yesterday that the ready made drinks are being reformulated and will not be available for a MONTH!!!! I'm freaking out!!!! Is Lindora really the same tastewise? Is using the vanilla pudding the same tastewise? Do you add 12 oz. of cold water like someone mentioned last week for the chocolate pudding? I tried EAS Advantage - Ugh! I tried Premier Protein Chocolate - its ok, but can't find vanilla. I tried those metal cans at Target - Even bigger UGH! |
