Oh, I forgot to mention my NSV for yesterday. I went to a consignment store that sells nice gently used clothing. I found a pair of Loft pants in a size 10 thinking they might fit. They were huge!!! So I went back a found a pair of Loft pants in a size 8 and they fit perfectly Single digit clothing??? That was a huge surprise. I know Loft clothes are a little "off sized", but I will take it!!! I liked the way I looked in that dressing room mirror. I never thought I would say that.
Welcome to the newbies! (I'm still one too). Am so happy for everyone losing at WI; my first WI is tomorrow and really excited to not only see how many lbs and/or inches I've lost, but to also get a bigger variety of food.
I've learned this week that I def need to plan my meals better. Last night supper wasn't until after 9 by the time I got out of work, got groceries, then drove home, etc etc. Was really wishing for a snack bar, but they said no bars until 3rd week I think it is.
My first NSV...have been taking my blood pressure every day and it is dropping a bit each day! It's almost into the normal range now. Hope to be able to stop the meds for that soon
Lunch time is over, so back to work. Will check in tonight. Have a 100% OP day all!
I love it, cut up in chunks, with hot sauce. It's served that way in Mexico. I thought it was strange the first time I saw it served, but if you can find GOOD Jicama, it's delish! It should be kind of watery, when it's fresh. If it's dry, it's awful!

Hi everyone, I bought a Jicama last night and not sure what to do with it. Do I eat it raw or does anyone have any good ideas for a recipe? Have a great day everyone!
Can we have jicama on phase I? I love jicama, but I'm curious if we can have it - I think it might be a root vegeatble. Well, if we can have it, cut it into matchstix size and add lime (can we have lime?) and salt-- a great way to get more salt into our day!
Nova-I know EXACTLY how you feel! I tried on my 12's when I first started (week 1) and they couldn't make it past about half my thigh, and 14's were not happening, so I was in pregnancy pants for the first 3 weeks, then suddenly I could fit in 14's, and then last Monday, my stretchy 12s (no big deal they stretch a ton right?) and then, low and behold, Saturday I wore my Size 12 Levi's! (they have 0 stretch, none, zip, zilch, nada) and I actually jumped in circles in the bathroom singing "I'm in 12's! I'm in 12's!" while DH was showering and staring at me in bewilderment.
HA! You must have been in my bathroom because thats EXACTLY what I was doing LOL

Ok ladies... so I hopped on the scale this morning ( like i do every morning) and just about fell over... i knew i was close to goal but my scale read "125.1." I'm seriously on the verge of tears. It's been 6 months and i just hit 60 POUNDS GONE FOREVER!! my ORIGINAL goal when i started in november was to lose 50. i never thought it was going to happen. as i saw the weight falling off, i modified my goal weight to 125. I'm there!!! I talked to my coach at the last weigh in and we discussed the "reserve tanks." -- not sure if you all are aware of the analogy?? anyway, because of the one time gain in phase 4 because the the refilling of your "tanks" i decided to go 5 more pounds before phasing as a cushion. Today is a big day though. If i phased at any point from here on out, i'd still be so happy. Aw man. I can't tell you how i feel. i'm almost hysterical with excitement!! You all will be there soon!!
Thanks everyone again for the continued support!! I"m not going anywhere, but just had to throw that in ))) yayyyyy
Congrats to everyone with their weight losses this week. it's looking like a successful week for almost everyone! well... my timer for my choc drink cuppy cakes just went off, yum.! happy OP DAY!
Hi! I'm on day 4 ... just wondering what everyone eats during a typical phase one day? I bring my breakfast and lunch to work so i've been having a Bar at breakfast with water, a salad with a RTD at lunch, and dinners at home are easier to prepare. Thanks for your input!
I am so happy to have found this group! I'm only on day 13 but love all the tips & motivation I'm getting! I was so scared when I started this diet but glad I have support here! Robin
