This is day 4 for me on the plan and so far so good. I keep hearing people talk about Big Mac in a bowl - what is this recipe?

I tried WF blue cheese dressing today. It started with the forbidden sense of richness, which in the end tapered into slight bitterness of deception. I am thinking of indulging myself with a half spoonful of it once in a while.

WI #3 today and I'm down 2 more lbs! I'll take it since it's TOM and I cheated last night and had a sandwich. :S

Back on plan tomorrow!!!!

Classic!

That is so cool! I have noticed my wedding rings slide a little easier now, too. Feels good, doesn't it?

proteinwell (dot) ca is shipping via UPS during the strike.

I started phase 2 today too! I am almost scared of it, thinking "oh no, am I going to gain weight"? Feels different doesn't it?

For those using pure protien products there is $1 off 2 and $1 off 1 printable coupons! I got both . Should help tide me over until my nashua is ordered and sent!

I just have to say

Ip does not increase muscle mass. Only exercise and strength training do that. It does remove fat though, which is excellent. if your coaches scales show an up in lean muscle mass than it is due to hydration if you do not exercise.

The protein is meant to maintain muscle, but will not build it.

Great diet though!

If you like a little heat, I think the WF chipolte ranch is great. Love it.

Thanks for starting the daily threads. I hope things are going well. I a,so like knowing what I will eat. Makes life simpler.

I weighed in Wednesday before leaving on vacation and managed to lose 2 lbs last week. I'll take it! I'm doing phase 2 while at the beach this week, and i can report that it feels almost like eating normally again. I'm doing some cooking for our hosts, and so far no one complained about a lack of carbs at dinner.

Sorry I didn't look to close as I haven't done rtd shakes but I did see whey protein powder that if you go to the alternative sticky it says which one in there is good from superstore. I found it all in the naturals/organic aisle and I also found the real seasalt that we use with IP, the brand name is Redmond and like Lea said try proteinwell.ca (it is Canadian company) hope this helps a little.

I was having such a hard day today, and I just wanted to thank everyone on these forums. Every time I get depressed and want to eat, or so frustrated that I just want to quit or cheat, I come here and read any random thread, anywhere on the forums, and it makes me 100% determined again. Always before I gave up, but having this group here of such strong people going through the same things and sharing everything from success to recipes to horrible cheats has been invaluable. You all give me so much strength. Thank you.

I am down another 2 pound this week for a total of 41 pounds.

I was at my daughter's T-ball game tonight and one of my friends came up and told me that I look like I am melting away. That was music to my ears.

I also now consider myself a size 16. I have had these pants hanging in my closet for two years and they finally fit. This is the lowest size that I have in my closet and I can not wait to go shopping for a size 14.

Princess Jessica,
I feel the same way. Whenever I feel like throwing in the towel, I think of everybody on here and all the success and working through the difficulties. This forum is amazing and has been a great help. Thanks Everybody!
