Happy Saturday all! Just finished my chocolate pudding shake with spinach (thanks LizR for this suggestion).
Hope everyone is safe from the storms and have a 100% OP day and week! Weigh in is in 90 mins!
Thanks Lisa for starting this thread, you are up early this morning!
Just realized you are from Nova Scotia. I am originally from there and will be checking in with my family, including my elderly mother as the storm makes it's way in that direction.
I hope it does not develop as badly as they are predicting.

I just finished my 6th week on IP and still going strong! Proud to say that I loss more than 10% of my body weight!
First 10% is very satisfying I'm sure! I'm so close as well.

Sorry that your son is sick, but glad you will be able to avoid birthday treat tempations!

If you're following the sheet, keep doing that, with no alterations. If you aren't, START FOLLOWING IT!

Why weren't you thrilled. How have you been doing this week. What have you been eating? Have you been exercising (you shouldn't be)? Have you been skimping on your packets, veggies, protein, etc, thinking that less the better (it's not)?
up until yesterday i've felt great then yesterday sadness just took over
clothing is fitting better, skin looks great. i think the gloomy weather and avoiding social activity (eating out/drinking) is just starting to get to me
i confess, i do weigh daily. it's almost an obsession
*picks self off of couch*
new day tomorrow
The beauty of this program is that it is so easy to eat out. I usually lost best in the weeks that I ate out.
As for the not drinking I didn't mind that because it is so much cheaper just to have iced water.
I placed my first order with ProteinWell on Oct 19. Checked to see what the status was (thinking I should have received it by now) and it says still "processing" Not happy. Sent them an email but haven't heard back yet. Does anyone have a phone number to contact them with - and yes I tried googling it - but no success. Help - I am running out of products.
Today I made it below 200! I lost 4.4 pounds last week, this is the first time I have lost this much weight in one week since the first week. My goal is to lose 3.6 pounds in the next three weeks and have 70 pounds lost in my first six months. Of course I am also hoping to have 18.1 pounds lost by December 31st (I have to add my next goal, now that I am so close to making my current goal). IP really works. The last time I worked at losing weight it took me 2 years to lose 70 pounds.
I can't seem to get rid of the hungry horrors today! I am not craving anything and am not having trouble saying no thank you to things, I just haven't felt not hungry all day. Off to have some warm tea to see if that helps.
I hope everyone stays safe with Sandy on the way. We cleaned up everything from the yard today and are stocking up on water and batteries.
Hi everyone Just started IP today. Was not thrilled about my initial weigh in and measurements. Can't wait to see those numbers change!!
It's great that you're ticked off about those numbers but the good news is, you can make the choice to make those numbers the "last time" you'll ever see them again! You've made a great choice to change your life and those numbers represent your "start". Now get ready to kiss 'em goodbye!
No, really, this is fun! You can amaze your friends and impress your kids!
The Octal system is as if you count on your fingers but you don't count the thumbs. So 25 units in the Octal system counts like:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 30, 31 (skipping 8 and 9 for each thumb)
which is the same total number of units as the Decimal system:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25
Count them for yourself! Then OCT 31 = DEC 25!
OK, I've outed myself as another geek!
Ok -- I'm lost on that one too, but here is a bit o' calendar trivia that you may or may not have known. 2 months were added into the calendar. OCTober used to be the eighth month. SEPTember was the seventh (as in the french word "sept" = 7.) I believe a couple of guys named Julius and Augustus Caesar decided to add 2 months to the calendar, which throws off the names of the other months. That's why "DEC"ember (as in a DECade=10years) used to be the 10th month and now is the 12th.
Can I join your 'geek' club? LOL
