Scorbett - that's great! It's such a good feeling to have all the Christmas shopping done early! I just finished on the weekend. Now it's on to the wrapping and baking!
Hey Kelly Congrats! I joined this site yesterday and found your post from mid-September about high stomach pains. You mentioned you were going to the doc that week but I haven't found any update on it from you - I have had the same problem for about a month now - thought a course of nexium cured it but it came back.
Its not every day, just seems like it happens when I overeat and there are certain foods involved - coffee, peppermint, chocolate. It has now morphed into occasional stomach upset/light nausea/sweating. Sound familiar?
I'm trying to remember...I think it ended up being a strained back. At first they thought it was kidney stones, but then one day I discovered it was my back. I had been taking nightly epsom salt baths (very relaxing) and when I started hurting I stopped the baths. A few weeks later I took another bath and my back hurt, it was the way that I was twisting my body to get out of the tub. I guess it would be difficult to lift 266 lbs out of the tub!! I haven't had any problems since. Actually, knock on wood, everyone around me has been getting sick and I haven't caught it!!
Sorry I couldn't be of any help. Glad to have you here!!!
I am back on IP. The last time I logged on was November 6, 2012...exactly 1 week after I hit my IP goal weight and exactly 1 week after I learned I was pregnant!
In fact...I see my old ticker is at the bottom of the page! Haha, better update that!
So here I am again...my son is 18 months and I have slacked in the baby weight shedding department. I rejoined IP 1 week ago.
Nice to see you all!
Hi! I joined IP last week and I'm in CT too! I have a lot more to lose than you do, but we'll be on our journey together. :-)
WI this morning and dropped 6...seriously, about jumped up and down. I am now hoping to get to onederland by Dec 31 NOT January 31!!! However, I also woke up with cramps! I just came off 2 rough WI with TOM and now he's back already! We are not friends and I do not need TOM to visit so frequently!!! hmmphhh!
There are so many recipes out there that use cauliflower, but I'm hesitant to try them because I just can't stomach its taste and texture. Have any of you discovered recipes that actually mask the flavor? Trying to find some more veggies to incorporate into P1...
RuthAnn - that motto helped me SO much through my lunch! The cheese ball stared me in the face and I said 'I'll eat you next year!' LOL! Thank you!!!
Lynette - I really like my version of cauliflower rice. I don't have a food processor, so I just boil cauliflower until soft, strain, then mash it with a potato masher until it's pretty chopped up. I then transfer it to a frying pan, add some soy sauce and an egg and fry it up. Soooooo good!

I survived my potluck! Just ate the salad I brought and didn't even look at the other stuff.
Good morning ladies! Hope everyone's week's are off to a great (OP) start!
I have a challenge today that I am a little nervous about but prepared for. We are having a big pot luck at work and I know there are going to be tempting dishes. My coworker is even bringing this amazing cheese ball because I loved it so much last year! I told her that I can't eat it, but of course she will bring it anyway. I made a giant salad so will have that and my IP Jello for desert. Here's to sticking to the plan!
You did great - congratulations!!

Coach: You said you ate a lot of CHOCOLATE!!
Me: No I meant IP chocolate.
Then we both just cracked up. I told her yes, I was secretly eating chocolate and not writing it down.
That is great!!!
Everyone has such great news - congrats to all!! Keep up the good work

Way to be prepared and you can have it after phase 1 and you probably will like it but will not like to jeopardise how far you have come and you will savor every bite.
I haven't had any problems since. Actually, knock on wood, everyone around me has been getting sick and I haven't caught it!!
