And you are right brown fat looks so much better than white...lol. I love that comment that is a keeper for me.
I am so ashamed of my pics when I started the program I do not know if I have the guts to put them up yet. I look at myself 3 months ago and I am like how in the h*ll did I allow myself to get like this! So everytime I have a sin full craving I take a look of my before pics and say yeah that sin is so not worth it I do not want to look like that again.
Hope you have a great weekend! I will not be posting until Monday when I get back.

bella- i so agree with you about how the h#ll did i let myself go that much!! i hid out in clothes all winter and now having lost 30# no one is really even noticing as i'm barely buttoning my "fat" jeans at this point... not that i'm not proud to have taken off the 30 but you know what i mean. i have some pics i'm holding onto myself..... shall we just buck up and post em? maybe when you get back from your vacation. i know for me, looking at the pictures of others was a great help so from that angle, i'll just suck up the shame of letting myself get such a gut and post away!

I am going to continue to meet my "real" goal of 120-125 on my own using alternative foods. I have read that thread from start to finish on this site and am so glad I found it! I wish I had earlier as I would have saved myself $200 admin fee and lord knows how much else on their food. My "coach" hasn't done a thing other than weigh me and measure me and try to get me to sign up for their muscle therapy sessions in addition to IP. I'm sick of the hard sell and now that I have this site, I know I can do it on my own.
Just wanted to share.

bon- you so can do it on your own! so many websites for products and since you are in a reading mode, have you read the dr. tran materials? that is the ideal methodology bible.... great job on your goal!

I had WI #3 this week and I am so giddy with happiness over the changes I'm seeing I can't concentrate on anything else! I spend WAY too much time on the boards, or planning my exercise, or reviewing all the great sundresses I want to buy at my first mini-goal.
What a great problem to have! Thanks again to everyone and to this amazing life change!

marcus- congrats on your successes..... how's the running going? i remember you were quite spent the first few weeks. how did you end up handling it. did you cut back the running, or up the packets or what?

judy- i like nashua. they have several different brands of items in one location and free shipping. but lindora was good too. i reviewed diet direct as well, but never did place an order from there, but liked the variety.

susie- this may sound like a lecture but i am hard pressed to put down words correctly sometimes so please bear with me..... please do not give yourself another excuse to not lose the weight. if you are like me, it was always something, but i have to admit now looking back, i was always looking for an excuse to fail, to not put in the work, to take the easy road. i have learned from this that every moment of every day, i have a choice to make. i wasn't doing myself any favors choosing to eat because i got in a fight with DH or one of my kids got in trouble, conflict at work.... you name it, i ate because of it. it wasn't anyones fault i was fat. only mine. i couldn't blame it on any one crisis because everyday i had one. and everyday i reacted to it the same way by overeating crappy foods. then it happened...my ahh moment. I
chose to look at it from the other side of the fence. one day a few weeks into IP, my DH and son, brought home a pizza... i went into a complete rage! how childish of me, right? and that was it, the cycle was broken.... after i stopped crying and came out of the bedroom i haven't been the same and hope to never be the old me again. Now I feel strengthened by staying OP. It makes me proud of myself instead of ashamed that i binged and then binging again to make myself "feel" better. The emotional handcuffs were unlocked that kept me a prisoner of food. I"m not saying it wasn't hard. it was very hard, but when i broke free that day it was the most incredible, liberating and powerful thing and I've been able to use that strength for the betterment of my health.
it's so worth it, i promise you. spend a few minutes each day in preparation to set yourself up for success and enjoy the positive energy that grows every time you choose to stay OP.
