All right!!!! Welcome to the century club!!! You'll be in onderland in no time!!!
Way to go!!! It's not about the food; it's about spending time with friends. That's my mantra on social occasions.
Great job! That's how I do vacations too! I lost about the same amount as you on our beach trip in March. Don't you just love fitting in to smaller clothes?
Welcome back! I'm sure you'll do great with the reboot!
That is one of the best NSVs EVER!!!!!
Dana,
That's fantastic. You rock!
Diva you look fantastic!!!!! I'm sure your coach is right. Drink lots and lots of water.
I have never felt deprived on IP. I was just saying that to my husband the other night. I had a huge plate full of raw veggies and 8 oz of protein and was stuffed when I finished eating.
Hang in there Rainbow. Didn't you have a really stressful week last week? That could be the reason for the gain.
Great WI for me. I'm down 2.2 lbs and am .8 away from GOAL!!! Hopefully my body will cooperate next week! My body fat is down and lean muscle is up. So it's all good!
you are sooooooooo close. Reach out, it is right there... you will be an over achiever next WI I'm sure. Great job!
Remember when this happened the last time? STOP freaking out....your body is adjusting again to going back to work and doing more than you normally do. You are NOT losing ground, just stay focused and stop obessing with the scale. I am sure you clothes are fitting the same if not better and YOU ARE FEELING GREAT.....ARE YOU NOT????
Good morning everyone, Today I am wearing an XL shirt my MOM wore when she started IP over a year ago and it FITS....here is a link to the picture...hope it works..... https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.ph...r¬if_t=like
I keep thinking this week how awe-struck I am at the success of IP for myself and others like you. I'm so thankful that I found this program, was ready to commit to it and found you and this group for support. Wuv and all, you are amazing!

I got DH to grab me some G2 which worked well. I tried some saltines, they didn't stay down long. LOL. So far this morning I've had 2 vanilla pudding cups. We have RTD puddings here in Canada and they are awesome! I'm out of them now, so wil try a RTD later on once these settle.
Today will be a home day of relaxing, sleeping, bleaching surfaces and laundry. DH came to the rescue last night and bleached and did up sheets etc from DS room. Now just a few things left. I don't want other DS or DH to get this!
I hope everyone has a great day!!
Good luck on WIs and for those that the scale showed frustration, remember keep on keeping on. I'm sure the scale will jump for me the next few days as I rehydrate. I lost 5 lbs yesterday from all the fluid loss. Crazy!
Glad to hear you are improving. Have a quiet day to let your body re-adjust.

Again, awe-struck! This is amazing Tripmama. Congrats on your success.
Had my 3rd week weigh in yesterday on Monday. Down 23 pounds since starting August 1st. Things seem to be slowing down though. Knew it wouldn't last forever!
I actually screwed up making the oatmeal today! Lumpy and dry. Had before and I liked it. Maybe too little water or I denatured the protein in the high heat. Better gulp down the veggies...
Any ideas with what I can do with hamburger meat? Course no delicious salisbury steak sauce, or ketchup... you know, the things that make it taste good

How you all been?
You can add all sorts of spices to hamburger meat to make it tasty, it doesn't need to be a pre-mixed bottled with sugar option. I use a homemade taco style mix that contains garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper. Also try adding grated zucchini or pureed veggies to add moisture content when cooking in patties or loaves.

Great weigh loss, and yes you're right - the first couple of weeks are fun to watch on the scale, but you will still be amazed how it changes from week to week still. Now hopefully it will just settle down into a nice pattern for you. I'm making hamburger tonight too. I generally just add some good spices, a slice or two of tomato and serve with some roasted veggies. WF does make a no carb ketchup, but I haven't felt like spending the money to find out I don't like it.

Thanks guys!! I'm showered and dressed! Huge improvement. Didn't have to lay down between tasks either. LOL. One word of advice: handwashing. LOL! As a nurse I got sloppy on our trip with the hand sanitizer after public bathrooms etc. will be more diligent. This was nasty.
Great posts today!! Shathom. You are close to Onederland hon!
SewingMomma next WI is yours!!M
IPDivaJen good luck tonight on your WI!!!!!!
Wuv. Awesome top!! Those colors look great on you!! You are a gorgeous lady!! Always were though, just you glow now!
LizRR how's those breakfasts?? Miss you!!
Dana you are one cool lady. Just sayin'
NewPath. Get off that scale and listen to Wuv. You are doing awesome!
Anyone I missed. Thanks everyone for making this board a place of inspiration and motivation!!
Having said that, I did find one from a local store (Metro) that isn't bad at all. It's their store brand (Irresistibles) and it's low sodium and low carb. A tbsp has 1g carb so I make sure to use no more than that if and when I need ketchup. But it really makes life that much more livable - I loved ketchup back in the day.

I agree, BLECH! I use the Heinz reduced sugar and only 1/2 the serving size.

i threw it out and relented and bought the Heinz 1 carb ketchup for 1 tbsp....and i limit myself to 1 tbsp, and i even measure it out!! but 1 tbsp Heinz usually does the trick for me!!

SO SO happy for you! I think meeting 100 lbs was more emotional for me then meeting my goal...I was flying HIGH that day!
Hello ALL!! I feel like its going to take me days to catch up with all the wonderful things that happened at the end of Vol 11 and the beginning of Vol 12!! But I'm glad to be back! I've been staying 100% OP, and I'm officially down 40 lbs in 9 weeks on IP!! hope everyone is doing well!! I will be turning 27 tomorrow and a little scared of resisting the cake!
Glad you are feeling better!
