Good morning IPers. Hope you have a brilliant day! I am feeling good, went to a party last night with very heavy hors d'oeuvres and I waited until it was 'dinner time' and only ate the steamed shrimp! I'm sure people were looking at me like, wow she's scarfing all the shrimp but I didn't care! There were no raw veggies so I had my 2 cups when I got home. Got a business trip next week, feeling a little anxious but every time I deal with the eating out issue, I feel a little more confident that I can do this on the road. Have a great day!!
Good morning! Happy Wednesday! Hope your plans are made to have a rewarding OP day - consider it a gift to yourself
I love this! Thank you!!
Made it through 2 days on plan and I'm feeling good ... it feels better than throwing all that crap food in my face that I've done for the last month. Still getting used to all the bathroom trips!
Good morning IP'ers,
After cooking all day yesterday, I am not doing ANYTHING today. I compiled a grocery list last night, and since hubby is off work, he is going shopping for me. We are out of so many things. Since I focus on meals that are IP friendly, I sometimes fail to notice when the rest of the family needs food! LOL! I'm not talking junk food. I'm talking about things like milk, oatmeal and other breakfast items for them to have before school, yogurt and fruit cups for after school snacks, etc.
I'm trying to not step foot outside of my house today unless I absolutely have to. It is supposed to be 90° - where is Fall???
Where are you AT??? Up here it is beautiful and cool 74 today! I love fall and cannot wait for winter MN winters can be an absolute blast!
It's going up to 93 today... Ugh. I'm a Canadian girl living in Texas and am so over this heat! I went shopping yesterday and bought some size medium shirts. Even at my lowest doing Weight Watchers I was always a large in tops... Starting week four and am loving how I look and feel! And has anybody's libido increased with this program? My husband is loving it...
Here's my opinion on the jmanovich issue. It seems likes she's spoiling for a fight. Yes sometimes Lisa AND others responds seem harsh but they didn't get to these huge losses by slacking they know the program, so they are a great source of info. Tone is damn hard to convey in written form. Read what ppl have to say with a grain of salt. If you don't have your big girl panties on today don't read the forum. And lastly don't feed the trolls!
I think it is quite disrespectful to call me an "issue" just because I have different opinions than most...there is an ignore option on this forum...I can be ignored rather than having my posts called ridiculous and an "issue". I am doing IP...and I'm losing weight just like everyone else...
I have a silly question... Is there a way to make veggie chips that are crispy like potato chips? I keep trying with spinach, rutabaga and zucchini but they're always sort of doggy and indelible. I want to make some for some parties coming up so I have something on program to snack on.
Continuing from yesterday's ridiculous postings...jmanovich you clearly aren't doing IP.
Plain and simple.
You seem to believe small cheats "won't derail you." It's probably more useful for you to post on the low-carb forum because you are not following IP.
Keep it up Deana509!
ETA: I'm beginning to see why IP encourages coaches to "let go" of dieters after they go off-plan 2 times. It sounds harsh but for the good coaches out there (yes, they are few and far between) it is disrespectful of their time and effort to try to "coach" people who aren't committed. They are taking up someone else's time slot that is actually willing to commit to the plan.
I am not doing IP anymore, but am still following posts occasionally and I just need to say that based on your posts, I hope you are not actively coaching. A good coach wants people to lose weight any way possible. Whether this is strictly doing IP or using a modified form of IP or any other diet. And a good coach does not need to threaten people. By contrast, many IP coaches care mostly about the cash cows coming into their office. I have yet to see the evidence that IP trains anybody in real coaching.
Smooshie76 - I made Jicama "fries" last night and loved them! I never had Jicama before. I found it by the mushrooms in the produce section of the grocery store.
peeled it, sliced it, massaged olive oil into each piece, put on parchment paper on a baking sheet, sprinkled sea salt and pepper, then baked for 15 min at 375, then flipped them over added more sea salt and pepper and baked another 15 min...my husband and son loved them too....to me they tasted kind of like sweet potato fries
I'll try the jicama fries! I'm in love with turnip fries but was hoping to make a batch of wannabe potato chips ahead of time to bring to parties. I want the crispness.

Ive been doing P2 since last Friday. I was told we could still lose on P2 but at a slower pace. So far, I am the exact same as last week. I am following P2 exactly, no modifications....any ideas??
MN winters can be an absolute blast!
