Mine either. It says I weigh 7 pounds more than the scale at the clinic says, and if I stand different ways it changes or if I move it too. And it's a digital scale.

Well 2 lb. Pegsi strikes again! But 2 lbs is good and I am happy about it I had to weigh a day early so I could see my coach (my clinic has 2 coaches) and I really like my coach and I don't like the other one she is way to harsh for me. This week my mom and I are doing a coffee challenge (she is on IP also) no "cream" in the coffee as we both still use some form of milk soy or milk substitute in our coffee. (I know thats bad and off protocal but sometimes that one thing is damn hard to give up) So we will see at the next weigh in if it makes a difference ( I hope not cause I hate black coffee lol) Actually I wouldn't mind if I grew to like my coffee with just a bit of splenda or flavoured splenda. One less bad habit. Man this healthy living is starting to drive me bananas. I eat right I quit smoking I don't drink and I exercise! If I quit swearing (which my mother would love cause she still gives me a smack when I swear around her lol) I will wonder where the real me went!

It was great. I'd recommend braising the stalks first and then throw in the leaves for the last minute.

It would probably be good with broccoli as well.

Thanks Carla!

You're welcome! Glad you liked it. My brother-in-law used that recipe (he's not on IP) and he had never tried bok choy before. Turns out that he, my sis, and my nephews all loved it! I will cross post to the recipes thread.

Welcome back, KimAnn! Glad things are going better for you this time around.

I am on week 3 day 1 I am down 8 lbs this diet WORKS!

When I started IP my mentality was: "I will see how much I lose between now and my birthday weekend then on my birthday weekend I will go hog wild! Eat whatever I want for the weekend!! After all it is my birthday right?" (my birhtday weekend is day after tomorrow. 6 of us girls rented a luxury mountain cabin with a hot tub)

Well I say now after 2 weeks on IP boy have I changed my tune. Yes, there will be cheats, but they are planned cheats that I discussed with my coach. Then come Monday morning I will be back to full IP. I am planning my food to take etc and 2 weeks ago I was thinking all junk!! "yes I will eat everything in sight." I can not believe how my view of food has changed in 2 short weeks. For example. I am taking grated cauliflower to have with the spaghetti sauce (one of my cheats) my cousin is making instead of the pasta. Just enough sauce for flavor.

Just checking in. I go for my first appoinment on Monday and will pick up my starter pack then. This week I'm following the suggestion to cut back on my carbs and start getting my kitchen into an IP friendly zone. Hubby and I just got back from a belated honeymoon cruise (we were married in December) so our cabinets are already pretty bare. I'm hoping to stock up on legal veggies this weekend and maybe scope out some WF products. I'm really excited about this plan. It seem like something totally doable.

Welcome aboard! I see were not to far off in height and weight... Trust me, I never thought this would work... But it really is totally doable. One thing I will say regarding the WF products... try the travel packets first and see what you like.. some of the products are really unappetizing. So just a heads up so you don't spend a wad of money on stuff you'll never eat.

I purchased a Homedics digital scale from WalMart. It saves age, height, weight, fat %, and H20 % for 2 people.. perfect for me and the boyfriend. So far its been dead on with my coach's scale.

This has nothing to do with your scale.. but I read that you were new and I wanted to say hi, and I love your hair!


So its off to the WI tomorrow.. *please please please be a light day!* Take care everyone!
