I almost had anxiety today when I realized that I did not have any Pina Coolata packets left, HOWEVER, I made a yummo orange-creamsicle shake....yummmmy!!!!!
Keep your eyes on the horizon everyone! You all look FABULOUS!!!! I think that we are actually all having some fun on this journey!!!!!!!
Does anyone have the updated link to the nutritional content of the IP foods? I did not see the orange drink or the vanilla drink listed on the one that I have. Thanks!
I have WI #14 this morning, I'll check back in with the results later
Thanks and good luck with your WI!! You are on a roll!!!

THANKS!!! You inspire me so THANK YOU!!!! I'm sooo glad you plan on sticking around!!! I would get sad if you left, you are an amazing source of knowledge and daily inspiration in those pink jeans!!

I hope everything goes smoothly with your husbands surgery and he feels better soon. My 3 year old will be having surgery on Friday of this week also.
Just got back from week 5 weigh in and I lost 1.5lbs. Not as much as I was hoping for but a loss is a loss. I weigh every morning and this morning I was actually down 4 lbs from last week. Usually on weigh in days I weigh then eat breakfast and by the time I go to weigh in at 10 I am back to what I was first thing in the morning. Well today I was up 2.5lbs after breakfast. Oh well maybe I will get a big loss next week.
Hope everyone has a great week!
Thanks for the compliment! I hope your son sails through surgery on Friday. You are doing awesome on IP!!! 5 weeks flies by doesn't it? I'm on my 13th week today. Lost 45 lbs in 12 weeks!! Unbelievable, so enjoying the ride. Sure there are hard spots that challenge us, but in the long run it's worth it!! And I'm proud of myself for staying strong.

yeah...about the stairs...now i am beaming while walking down the stairs!!
Thanks Rainbow!!! Yea, I`m sure the scales are right. I think I carry my weight well, I have been told that many many times. Gee what a compliment eh? LOL! The compliments always ranged from "Pretty face" to "you carry your weight well". Gawd people are mean/stupid/lame. I'm sure all of us here have been told something like that through the years. Crazy stuff people say! Thanks for saying that though, I will post pics of me at my heaviest some day, 20 -30 lbs heavier than my ticker. Its an eye opener how far I've come. I sometimes think I should change my ticker to my heaviest, cause I DID LOSE THAT WEIGHT, just before I discovered IP!

It's been a really nice summer break, but I'm ready to have the structure of phase 1 again in my life, and to finally join the century club.
My son is home today from his camp volunteer job this week with a bad sore throat, and I found out last night that he was exposed to strep throat, so we will be visiting the dr. today to see if he has it. I love when these things happen right before family vacation.
Hope everyone has a great 100% day.
I can't wait for you to join the century club too! We'll whoop it up that day for you!!!
I'm home with a sick boy as well. Waited at the dr's office this morning, looks like strep. So we're on the couch watching movies this afternoon. Hope your boy feels better soon!

Your new pictures are OUTSTANDING!!! You are a beautiful lady, you were 174 pounds ago too, but now you are absolutely GLOWING and stunning. Your smile is the best part. You radiate joy and continue to spread it to us as well.

I am in Pocatello and to kill time I went to the mall and oh boy what motivation! I feel like I belong in the "normal" stores...and I do! I only bought one thing... a $6 T at AMERICAN EAGLE! I just can't believe that those clothes I am so ecstatic that I fit in will be TOO BIG in just a short amount of time!deb.jpgdeb2.jpg Hopefully, I just attach a few dressing room moments! I got on a pair of Miss Mes at the Buckle! I was inspired by New Path...didn't quite get the smile, since I have to concentrate so hard on taking the picture
As a treat today I am heading to the matinee of Magic Mike, sounds like eye candy time!
Keep on being such great losers! IP IS life changing!

LOOK AT YOU!!!!!! You look so pretty and happy!!!! I am amazed at the new you!!!! CONGRATS!!!!! Look how young you look!!!!!!!!!!
You just totally inspired me!!!! You go girl!!!!!!!!!
I also got on a scale at GNC and it tells you how much you, what you should weigh and how long it will take you to lose it. NSV my goal weight looks good (I have been thinking about that), but it said to cut so many calories a day and it would only take me 256 days to lose what I need too...but not on IP by my calculations it should only take about 100 more days...give or take. And oh boy will shopping and dressing rooms be fun then! size 8 here I come!

First off, tripmama...totally smoking in those tops, and i LOVE the deals!
Second, rainbow, you should make an IP daily calender where every day is a new recipe or fun fact of IP with your tips, etc (still thinking of your travel bag!).

Woo Hoo!!! That's fantastic! Don't be surprised if you wind up in a smaller size. Size 8 was my goal size too. I blew past that in June. I'm wearing size 4 & 6 now. The sixes are baggy in the butt, so I'll have to retire them soon. I cannot believe how much IP has changed my body!

That's fantastic! You are going to be wearing a teeny tiny size when you get to goal!!!!

The bloating really kicked in this morning, so at least I know this is "the real thing".
I was super tempted by the peanut butter again last night - but I had a few spoonfuls of my cauliflower puree to tide me over and it did the trick! I love that stuff! Need to always have something in the fridge for when "the urge" hits. I don't usually have those temptations except around TOM...crazy hormones <kickin' the dirt>...
I hope TOM starts soon for you. I hate the crazy hormones, too. Good for you for eating cauliflower puree instead of peanut butter! My kids have been on a peanut butter and banana sandwich kick. So I've been making PBB sandwiches for the past couple of weeks. Peanut butter is one of my all time favorite foods, and I'm going to have that for breakfast on phase 3!
I hit Old Navy yesterday and the Gap today. I didn't find any savings as good as yours, but I did pick up some size 4 shorts (which fit perfectly) and some shirts. I got better deals at the Gap because all of their clearance items were an additional 40% off. Unfortunately, they didn't have any size 4s left on clearance! I never thought I'd complain that a store was out of the smaller sizes! LOL.

That is a fantastic idea!!!! It's a good way to stay motivated!
It was a busy day for me today. I went shopping for school shoes for my oldest daughter. She wears a 6.5 wide. Those are impossible to find in stores, so I ordered a pair. I also hit Old Navy and the Gap and found some clearance clothes for myself. I'm wearing size 4 bottoms now. With only 6 pounds left to go, I think that this might be my final size. Never in a million years did I think I'd wind up so small. My goal was to get in to a 10, and 8 was my dream size. Now, I've got to sort through all of my too big clothes and get rid of them. I don't want to have a crutch to fall back on. I'm going to hang the 4/6 clothes and that's it!
SIZE 4!!!!!!! Wow. Awesome!!!!!. I can't wait to be like you!!! Size 4 is unimaginable when you start at over 300 lbs!!! But I hope you're right and I'll be in a teeny size!!! I can't wait to find out!! Thanks for the encouragement!! (ooooo darn peanut butter!)

oooh IP should already have those!! what a cool idea!! i want an IP calendar!!!

It sounds like the Whoosh fairy has been EVERYWHERE this week! If anyone sees her please send her my way. I pre-weighed this morning and the scale has me in the 140's! (That would sooo rock!) However, Tom just abruptly stopped by, obviously uninvited and without notice!!! I so hope he doesn't mess with my numbers. So Whoosh, if you are reading these threads, stop by tonight and do your thing!!!!! Please!
I am very proud of myself for getting every, single Blessed packet in this week. That was my goal. I have also upped my EVO and stayed away from just eating fish and chicken. I am kind of excited for tomorrow. I am hoping for fat loss and muscle gain!

It was unimaginable for me too. I still can't believe it!
