Oooooo! Those sound yummy. I'm off to Google.

Wuv - Great WI, you are such an inspiration!

Today is my first day on this website,

I had an IUD removed 33 days ago and had no idea it was one of the reasons I could not lose weight.

I have since lost 5 lbs since removing it. I was 160 the day of removal and I am now 155. (Pretty Good Eh?)

My goal is to be healthy, not only for myself but for my family too.

Hubby says i'm sexy no matter what I look like, he lifts weights all the time and looks amazing. I feel like a frumpy woman next to him.

I would like friends to help me along the way and to help me be strong when my co-worker eats fried everything and I get tempted to take a bite!!!

Thanks

Welcome to the site, lots of information along with recipes and support are here to be found. Having to be around people that eat that kinda stuff is going to be in your life no matter where you are in your journey. YOU are the only one who can stop yourself from eating it. Its going to take a lot of determination and self control to get that accomplished but I do believe you are here because you have gained that. Good luck in your journey !

Good evening - I've been away for awhile, school stuff mostly. Just want to say hello and congrats to everyone on the journey - especially to WUV - you are right at that three digit lost number, that's great! You are so supportive of everyone on the trip - stay strong!

My last 10 pounds has been a challenge but I'm within 7 pounds of my goal as of this morning, hopefully down a bit more in the morning. My schedule has kept me away from official WI's but I'm not too worried about it as I'm keeping track at home.

By way of NSV's, I bought some new shirts on sale at JC Penny's - I can't remember the last time I could wear a Large Tall, very cool. Also, my wife informed me she hauled all my previously fitting suits (my work clothes) to Goodwill - there is no going back now! I've also learned to just say "thank you" when someone mentions that I am looking thinner.

Hopefully in a few weeks the last few pounds will be off and I can phase off and get on maintenance. Until then - its more Romaine, veggies, lean meat, and the delicious chocolate shakes.

Stay Strong everyone!

Congrats Sandy,

I am doing phase II also, friday I will be on phase III for 2 weeks and then giving maintenance a shot until the first of the year, then back on phase I to drop the last 20 lbs. I hope you like phase II, I do, although I have had a couple of phase I days, just for convenience.

Congrats Wuv. YOU ROCK!

I am happy to hear that you are phasing off correctly! I hope to see good results come from you!! and hopefully we will see you in the new year get to your goal!! You know that you can do it!!

WUV - congrats! i am thrilled for you. you must be so excited!
thanks for getting me through the stress of my first week

ALL - so many great updates here. makes me smile!!!!

I crossfit too! It is the best workout ever!

I am right with you, when I started I thought well this stuff will still be around when I am skinny and be tempted so lets learn to live seeing stuff that you don't really need but want... it has worked for me so far. I have easter candy in the freezer right beside my peanut butter and chocolate soy puffs. I have some junk food in the cupboard and I still like baking for others. I admit the the cookies were really hard to stay away but I gave them all away.

Welcome back Stacy keep up the good work.

You have found a place where you have friends, we are all here for each other, someone to lean on when we need it, someone to kick our butts when we need it and someone to come here to talk about the small victories. This is a great diet and a great forum. Welcome

WUV I also had a kind of a ccoffee latte today with only a little milk, with Chocolate and Caramel syrup it was sooo good, never thought the chocolate would taste that good in coffee.. Wuv the eggnog is so good and if you mix it with vanilla pudding and pumpkin spice like a pumpkin spice latte... very good.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried flavored syrups. I guess I like the thickness of half & half - not so much flavorings.

I figured out RTD , they are too thin from IP - that's the only one I have tried.

I use the vanilla pudding for my coffee. I make it the night before and it's nice and cold and thick from being in the fridge all night. It's a great treat in the morning.

I will look for it for sure. Thanks

I found this on one of the Ideal Protein Facebook pages....more new stuff coming!!!!!!

New bars coming in November: Double Chocolate, dark on the outside and milk chocolate on the inside. Chocolate Peanut Butter bar, tastes like a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup
