After "only" loosing a pound or so each week for the past few weeks, I finally had a "woosh"! 4.7 pounds this week!! I don't think I've had a week this good since my first two weeks on this diet! Yay! I needed this FINALLY out of the 170's!!!

Thanks Lisa! Love this. This is what has happened to me for the last 4 weeks. Because of all the wisdom on this board I know that "only" is a four letter word.
So I'll just keep trucking on and get to my goal. Almost halfway there.
Holy moley whoosh! I had my official WI yesterday at 203.8 and I stepped on the scale today and saw 201.6!!!! And that was AFTER eating breakfast, taking a shower, drinking water, etc. I know the scale fluctuates within hours, but I really hope this holds out!

Perfect quote for today Lisa. I am trying to resist not getting angry at the scale and instead of throwing it I have now resorted to moving it around my bathroom to see where I can get on it and be at my lowest
I have to remember it is a journey, not a race and after almost 8months on IP I am going to lose at a slower rate.
Ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am really struggling today...I am behaving, but it's very very hard today...I wants PIZZA!
(off to make a choc shake)
EDIT: I made it a 1.5 scoop instead of a 1 scoop; also eating a salad & cucs
GR-8
Protidiet has a pizza and sauce mix that, if I add some lean turkey sausage and peppers to the top, almost satisfies my cravings for yummy, cheesy, fabulous pizza.... I love it and its only 100 calories, 10 net carbs with 15 grams of protein! It has been a diet saver for me because pizza is my number 1, hardest to resist craving! Good luck!!!

Wait you mean i'm not the only one that moves the scale around the room????
I have to share my good news!! Went for a follow up apt. with my dr today, all of my blood work came back and he said that my numbers look really good (imagine what they will be after being on IP for a while!!) my blood pressure has already gone down and he is very excited that I am doing IP.
I am enjoying reading all of the threads on this forum. I have been a lurker for 3 weeks since starting IP at my doctors suggestion. I have done well following the plan till this last weekend. My son graduated and all of the food selections had already been done. So I added in a lettuce salad and veggie trays but still caved and had macaroni salad and other carbs (yes I had the cake). But I got back on track and today at WI lost .75! Yah. I was so happy!
We are going on vacation this next week (camping) and I already have a plan for my meals and how to stay on track. I will miss WI next week but plan to have a great 2 week weigh in!
