Thankyou Everyone that congratulated me. It's really been the program, and my own bodies response to it..I'm just along for the ride
Yes, pxlkitty...I know you want me to smile, but it's a little beyond my ability at the moment. Yes, I'm thrilled with IP..it's the rest of my world that's weighing me down.

Sorry ot hear that, but at least you are taking control of what you can! I have a lot of troubling personal issues, but I figure that the one thing I can control is me staying OP. Keep up the great work
Congrats to the big losers on here today. And I mean that in the nicest way possible!
Also tons of NSVs. I had one myself this morning. I tired on a pair of pants I bought a few years ago for work but didn't fit into long. I tired them on a week or so ago and they didn't go over my hips very well and they looked awful when buttoned. Today was a different story! They fit and I got 3 compliments! Only 2 mentioned the weight loss, 1 just liked my "new" pants.
As far as the WF caramel...I've used it everyday for almost 3 weeks in my coffee and my losses stay the same.
I'm hoping I have some time to sit tonight and read the recipe threads a little. I need some new ideas. What are these chips everyone is making? And what do turnips taste like? I'm a very sheltered veggie person. I stick with cauliflower, mushrooms, broccoli, onions, cucumbers, and lettuce.
I'm going to get a salad at Subway tonight because I've prepared my meals for 33 days straight (while my family has eaten out 4 or 5 times) and I'm just not in the mood to be chopping veggies tonight. I will bring my WF packet and enjoy watching someone else making me dinner! Lazy huh!?

Your pics are amazing inspiration! I can't wait to be that close to 50 pounds! And even more amazing is the fact that you are having "real life" troubles and sticking to it! You rock!

I made the turnip chips, cut 1/4" thick, that was too thick, next time, I will make thinner. and I cooked on a baking sheet, next time I will use a broiler pan so both sides get heat. The were like a sweet....potatoe, not a sweet potatoe........worth giving a whirl. Bought some Kale tonight, going to try it tomorrow...
Okay, guys, hit me with the replys...I just had 1 oz of peanuts............... I k now the are low carb friendly, but now I feel that it will dump my week...good thing I am on the stay off the scale challange. I don't know why I did that...Yes, I do, I am starving today, have NO idea why, have been all day, and today is no different than other days. Of course now I feel like a failure and as my mushrooms are grilling and slicing my cucumber, feel like I shouldn't even eat my dinner and IP snack later. This is a NO CHEAT diet, and now I feel like I have blown myself out of the water!!! I will be so glad to get back in the classroom where being home all day is not the case.............................
So many NSV's for me this week!
On Saturday...I went to a baby shower. Sooo much good food, but I brought my southwest cheese curls and didn't cheat, even though my boyfriend was right next to me shoveling food into his face!
THEN...I went out with my friend that night, I knew she wanted to drink, so I came up with the idea to go to a hookah lounge so I could smoke some hookah and she could drink, it worked out well I know hookah is unhealthy, but if I wanna smoke very occasionally so I don't drink, I don't see a big deal with that.
Then the hardest one! Yesterday my boyfriend had an outing at the Palms Place pool, and my sister was there at her outing, too...Everyone was ordering food that anyone could eat if they wanted, free drinks too, and All I did was take a very small sip of my sister's honey flavored drink...Just to taste. Then I had MiO in some water...and some lemon in soda water the whole time. Everyone kept pressing me to drink..but that's just because they were all drunk and that's what drunk people do. Yay for me!

You look FABULOUS!!! Pictures really help me stay motivated. Thank you for posting them.
Today is day 8 on IP and I am very happy with the plan and how I feel. I did great at my first WI.
I had two BBQs this weekend and stayed 100% OP at both of them. I offered to bring the salad so I packed it with everything I could have and enough brought homemade dressing to put on the side. Dessert wasnt' as har to resist as I thought it would be. It's mind over matter...that's what I kept saying to myself.

Don't beat yourself up. First, you confessed it which means you care that you did it. Now just pick yourself back up nd start fresh

Don't be too hard on yourself! This is a hard diet and we all know it. That is a little cheat, I am sure it wont throw you off that much, if at all. Just don't use that to justify other little cheats. I would just say learn from this and move on, don't dwell because it wont help anything. Have you had your restricted packet yet today? Maybe if you want to make yourself feel better and minimize the effect you could replace it with an unrestricted for today or tomorrow.
Nut honestly, I think you are fine. Stop beating yourself up and go get back to 100% OP. Enjoy your dinner!

It's not stupid, this website is like an addiction. I check back ALL THE TIME, especially if I have posted something and need a response.
Also, if peanuts are your weakness you may want to try the vanilla peanut bar or the peanut butter bar or the peanut butter soy puffs. I really loved all three.
