Happy hump day...stay OP for me!

[Cadu]

Good Morning!!

So, yesterday I spent the day helping my niece make her wedding favors. She wanted to get some "real chocolate" for Easter from this cute candy store that makes homemade chocolate. WELL, I walked in that store and all I saw was a sea of beautiful milk and dark chocolate Easter bunnies. The smell was overwhelming. I walked out of there with a few bunnies for DH & the kids and she bought a few nuggets to munch on while we made her favors. The temptation was great but I did not succumb. My IP chocolate puffs were just as tasty.
Cheers to another 100% OP day!!

Cadu - congrats on resisting all that chocolate! Chocolate is my weakness as well.

Just caught up reading all the the threads this morning. I had fallen behind a little. It was great reading about all the SVs and NSVs. I can't wait to read more today!

Have a great OP day everyone!

Happy Hump day, I haven't posted in a while, but I've been hanging around. I did forget to post Monday that I'm down another 2lbs.

Good morning all

Enjoying my cup of coffee in between shifts of getting kids out of the door.

Cadu that is awesome that you did not succumb to temptation. I dont think I could be in a room of chocolate and walk away from it.

Have a great day everyone!!

Congratulations sicrews!

Good morning, I'm on my 7th day of P2 and my morning restricted bar (Double Chocolate) actually seemed a little sweeter than usual this morning! That is a first! I hope this continues because I was missing my lunchtime chocolate drink and hopefully the need/want for my chocolate IP items will subside. Maybe not completely but if only a little... WOOT HOOT!!!

Almost done with my first week. Besides being at Boot Camp in sunny Paris Island, S.C., this is the only diet I've stuck to w/o cheating. I can't wait to see the tape measure and scale tomorrow. =)

I am trying to figure out my first order, I think I left my folder and food sheet at work. But I am going through the food list on IP's site. How may packets are in the boxes? I loved the peanut puffs and would like a box, is it 5, 7 10? and what about the entrees same number in all boxes?

Good morning! Wow, already some great NVS' reported today. My weigh in is tomorrow and I am really looking forward to a good loss. Hoping to be able to post another one of my purple guys below!

Feel like things have been going really well this week. I ate out last night at Chilis but was able to stay OP! THe alternative products have been working well, along with my IP products. I now see my coach every 2 weeks and get a small order at that time.

Easter should not be too much of a challenge. We are eating brunch at a local restaurant but I know I can make good choices. I WANT TO MEET my next goal of 20 lbs by June 1st! Not sure if it is realistic but I AM GOING TO TRY!

I believe there are seven packets in each box...and in P1 you need 21 packets per week so it's three full boxes!
