How'd your sale go? Mine is going to pick up again today I think, but I'm still exhausted from yesterday.

I think that my small weight loss was caused by having all of my meals at once.
I'd definitely say that eating ALL your food at one point during the day could slow down the loss. If I forget to eat my 3rd packet during the day my weight slows down as well. Try to "make" time between that breakfast and 3:00PM for at least a RTD or a bar, esp if you only eat again once during the night.

I know your pain when it comes to dogs, we have 2, and they firmly believe in NOT sleeping in it seems!

Now for TMI, still constipated every week and when I take the Novi Lax it kills my stomach so only taking 2 a week. Doing great losing but wondering if I could be losing more if I find something more natural to help things move daily. Any opinions or advice would be great. My coach is checking with the doctor they are connected with and hopefully he will have a few suggestions.
I use more EVOO than recommended, closer to a tablespoon a day, and I'm "regular" to the point that I have my shake every morning at 08:45, and at 9:15 I'm in the bathroom and then not again until the next morning. I could dang near set a clock by it.

Although it seems like little I haven't been able to lose any past few months After every 10 pounds I lose I'm buying a pandora charm...im getting closer than i thought!
Great job! I'm doing a charm bracelet as well, one charm per 5 pounds (it's not Pandora, but it's mine
)
I get my next charm at 20 pounds, which will be 174.8 (started 194.8) and is only a bare 1.2 pounds from where I am this morning, although I weigh in tomorrow and don't see me losing 1.2 pounds in a day, but hey, who knows right?

Great job with the loss!! I'm still not to 10% loss yet, but I'll get there someday...hopefully in the next week or two.

I think the idea is to not drink milk or have dairy in general. It's not just the sugar, milk and cheeses are usually notoriously high in fat (think ATKINS, you can have dairy on that right? But ATKINS allowed higher fat content than IP does). Also, here's the nutritional breakdown from Lactaid,a popular lactose free milk:
LACTAID FIT & CREAMY™ Lowfat Milk
Serving Size 1cup (240mL)
Serving Per Container 8
Amount Per Serving
Calories 120 Calories From Fat 20
% Daily Value*
Total Fat 2.5g 4%
Saturated Fat 1.5g 8%
Trans Fat 0g
Cholesterol 15mg 5%
Sodium 120mg 5%
Potassium 420mg 12%
Total Carbohydrate 12g 4%
Dietary Fiber 0g 0%
Sugars 12g
Protein 10g 20%
Vitamin A 10% • Vitamin C 0%
Calcium 35% • Iron 0%
Riboflavin 25% • Vitamin D 25%
Vitamin B12 25% • Phosphorus 30%
This product has 2.5g fat, regular whole milk has 8g fat per serving.
Ingredients:
ultra-filtered lowfat milk, lactase enzyme*, vitamin A palmitate and vitamin D3
*Ingredient not in regular milk.
So it still has 12g of sugar in a serving, along with 12g of carbs. It is BETTER than regular milk, but still bad.

I noticed we are similar "stats" , how does it feel being down to nearly goal? I still have about 40 pounds to go, but have this irrational fear that if , no, WHEN I get to goal I won't recognize myself.

Hot pepper = favorite!!! I probably use that almost as much as regular EVOO.

I got some magnesium to take daily in case I have a magnesium deficiency and I've been drinking warm beverages which generally have helped me be more easily "regular" in the past. Just seems like I'm not going like I should. Ugh.
I'm a once a day, every day, at 9:30AM or so. I noticed that walking a bit every day seemed to help with that too.
