Thanks Miranda, Wuv, and Chloe. You guys are great. I'm going to follow yours suggestions and eat a restricted for breakfast and add veggies to my soup. I'm doing this without a coach due to cost and this forum makes me feel so motivated. It also makes me feel accountable; I can't wait to report my first WI. Hope you all have a great day!

Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to trying the puree. I'm really excited about this plan. So far I haven't had any cravings, fogginess or loss of energy. I had a slight headache the 3rd day but it went away with a couple of Motrin. I was a bit worried I might get tired of the packets but I'm finding so many recipes and suggestions on this site. Your photos are amazing by the way - congrats on your success!

tle1103: Another set of prayers for your good health!
Le506: Congrats on the 5 lbs gone!
DanafromAustin: Congrats on Onederland!
parislady40: I agree with you –this is truly a journey of self-awareness and self-love!
Omgzitsmiranda: It is awesome that your size 20s are getting loose – that’s where I’m at too and I love it! (Time to dig the 18s out of the back of my closet).

Tomorrow is my weigh-in...hoping for good news! Thanks Wuv for being such a great role model on being upbeat even if the scale stalls! I tried chopping asparagus and adding it to my IP leek soup last night...it smelled & tasted so good my daughter tried a spoonful & wanted more!

It's a windy day here in Central Washington...so, to quote a favorite stuffed bear, "Happy Windsday Owl!"

Hello!!
Congrats to all on the great WI can't wait for my 1st (3rd) WI on Monday after a week OP so far it's the 3rd day that I have done good.

To the people in Canada; I found a whey isolate protein powder at the superstore yesterday it has 3 g carbs and like 30g protein; is that a good product to use instead of the RTD muscle milk light chocolate?! I've used those the 1st time around and have been using them again this time but I this powder is more cost effective and also closer to home :)

Also, are there any packet, bar type of thing that can be just purchased at the store?! I know there's a ton of options to order online but sometimes I want things that I can just go get at any time without waiting for a shipment.

Thank you an have a great day everyone!!

I had WI #5 last night was not hoping for much since it was that TOM however I was surprised I was down 2.4lbs and 4.5 inches yay me. All the inches are coming off the mid section nothing from arms. hips or legs and that is a bummer then I realized I only have so much fat in the mid section so when that is gone my boddy will burn it from other places.:carrot:

I also have a problem with paying so much for this program but I am going to stick with my coach for at least 3 months but no more than 6 months and if I still need to lose more I will have to try something different.

Hope everyone has a great day.

I buy my alternatives from Nashua Nutrition (US). Not sure where your from, but I know in Canada they get alternatives from Proteinwell. I pay an average of $11.00 a box for food. I compare the ingrediets closely with the IP products to make sure it's a good supstitute.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. God is in control (I forget that alot) May he give you comfort and peace.

just checking in! hope everyone is doing well!

i'm down 3.8lbs this week, for a total of 29lbs! i feel great! i'm in a size 10, which is NSV for me! :D

keep up the good work everyone!
