Question.....I have to grab dinner on my way to school so I'm looking for an easy drive thru meal....I usually get subway chicken salad, but I'm just wanting something different tonight. I have acess to a lot of places , any ideas?

Someone posted awhile back that a Chipotle salad bowl with steak was ok to eat. I haven't been brave enough to eat at a restaurant yet but it sure sounds good. The chicken at Chipotle has honey in it and the carnitas is too high in fat. Maybe check this website out and play around with what can be ordered while on IP. http://www.chipotle.com/en-US/menu/n...alculator.aspx

I FREAKING love you! Thank you!

Planning a trip to Disneyland in June. I think this may be the ultimate test of willpower.... We have an annual passport so I guess I can tell myself that when we go back in the Fall that I can treat myself to a tasty treat in the shape of Mickey if I'm good in June...

Day one and two horrific headache for me. Im on day three and so far so good

my old coach said that in a bind its ok to grab the Wendy's Santa Fe salad i think its called? Just no dressing, cheese, gaucamole etc.. just get the chili and get a sour cream for a dressing. I would have it every now and then and it wouldnt stall my progress.

I have been looking for an all purpose salad dressing to replace the WF products. I've spent time looking through all the recipe stickies and most of what I am seeing contains things that are not allowed in Phase 1, like sesame oil, chili oil, lime juice, poppy seeds. Does anyone have a homemade version that is Phase one compliant? Also, if you are using a 3:1 or 2:1 oil to vinegar ratio, then how do you determine how much a serving is?

Hi catlady...I like the dressing I make for phase 1 very much. I only make it one serving at a time. I use 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil, and then I add about 3 tbsps of apple cider vinegar. I do a few squirts of lemon juice, some garlic powder, ip salt, and pepper. Sometimes I add parsley or greek seasoning. Other than the oil and salt, I don't really measure how much I add, I just do it to taste. Good luck!

I make my dressing just like this too...so easy and very tasty!

It must be a Maryland thing

Glad it's getting better for you! I had a pretty brutal first 6 days. But after that it was all so much better.

Thanks so much. I'll give that a try. I haven't bought bottled dressings in over 20 years. I always make my own. My go to dressing before IP was 3:1 Evoo and Balsamic with garlic and herbs or a killer honey mustard recipe. I guess I am just going to have to play with it until I find something that I like. The WF are ok when first starting but basically they are too sweet and full of things I can't pronounce!

I know I'm only supposed to have one cup of coffee a day. But what about decaf?

Same with our starting weights and heights (almost!)

I know! Crazy!
