Good morning everyone. It is going to be another hot one down here in Texas. We are all praying for rain.
I had a good weekend. Stayed OP 100%.
Hope you all had a good weekend as well.

Happy Monday!! Had a boring weekend, stayed OP which was good. Only NSV I had was not eating the potatoe skins or bread at Logan's on Friday night :D. Hope everyone has a fantastic OP day!!!!

Oh, my gosh! I used to dream about bread! LOL! I really do not miss it at all.

Good morning fellow IP'ers. I had a great 5 day camping trip and stayed OP all of those days, even while the whole family ate chips, and EVERYTHING I couldn't, but when I got home and stepped on the scale, I lost weight and everyone gained (muhahahhahaha)

Whoo Hoo!!!! Good Job!!

Happy Monday morning to everyone!
Had WI#9 this morning down 4lbs.....:carrot::carrot:
Love the fact that I am just about at the half way mark after just 9 weeks.

Everyone have a great Monday, be good to yourself.

Happy Monday!
Congratulations to all of you for your victories over the weekend.

I'm starting today and I'm inspired by all of your success!

Morning!
Great weekend, stayed OP and have my 11th weigh in tonight!!! TOM is lurking, but scale is still down. Had a concert Saturday and no boozing, then cheered on the amazing 60 mile walkers Sunday as they finished the 3 day walk for breast cancer! Finally getting some relief up here from the humidity!

Nice jon Colley, that is a very difficult thing to do (camping and staying OP), you should be very proud!

NSV today, my only two jeans were in the dryer, still damp, so I scavengered through my closet, tried on a pair and MAN were they HUGE!! I hadn't really noticed too much change in clothes b/c I have always worn semi-baggy clothes. How exciting!!!

Well Friday I felt great all day. Did my workout when I got home, had dinner. Relaxed on the couch and just before bed. WAMMO! Running to the bathroom every 5 minutes. SO sick!
Spent most of Saturday on the couch feeling dizzy, weak and nauseous. Sunday was a bit better but again today. Feel week, dizzy and just not very well at all. Of course those who know I am on IP think thats to blame. I think its a bug.
Today was WI and I was up 1. Bizarre.
Hope this passes quickly.

37 lbs in 9 weeks - Redhead, you are my hero! (along with many others on this site). I stayed OP this weekend too, and it wasn't easy watching my family eat donuts and pizza while I enjoyed a soy puff or a RTD shake!

I stayed OP despite being at the lake for a party that had every h'orderve, every wine known to man, at least 10 different main dishes, BBQ, peanut butter pie, chocolate mint cake, ARE U DROOLING YET? So, I feel bad in a way, because hubby was livin' it up and I just wanted to leave and get home to my "safety". You have to admit this diet is tough! Cleaning house today, hoping for some rain.

We had a family birthday party yesterday and I didn't eat cake. I guess being sick helped that too but I know I wouldn't have cheated even had I been well. That was a good feeling, knowing I am making myself a priority over my favorite cake!

stalling using walden farms syrup
 

So I have been using the carmel Walsen farms syrup 1-2 times a week with 1 cup of ruhbarb but it seems like it is making me stall. I have no problem with the dressings tho. I only use 2 tsp of it! Does anyone else have this problem?:(

I just wondered? I am in week #4 and I am still quite tired-ish, is anyone else?
