Good morning,

Lots of temptations this week...first Chinese buffet and bday cake on Wednesday..then food court with my son yesterday and pizza tonight..resisting all of it and was rewarded with being almost 6lbs down so far and 0.6 from goal. Official WI on monday!

Will continue for another 10lbs as i want my goal weight to be my upper limit before doing a reboot and want some wiggle room.

Super cold here...again...-11 (-29 with windchill)...so sick of the winter..its been horrible. Especially since i booked our summer vacation to wildwood yesterday, really want the summer to come!

Have a great day everyone and TGIF!

Hey I did not know you were getting married! You must be so thrilled cause now you'll be having pictures to be proud of and please send me some pictures for me to see So happy for you

Just checking in with everyone. It is so cold and windy here. I am tired of being stuck in the house. Looking forward to spring and wearing cute clothes when I reach goal.

Just had an IP snack. Made pudding with extra water and put it in the freezer until it got really cold. Delish I felt like I was having a milkshake.

Was a bit disappointed today. I am on week 3 and didn't lose this week. I know I have not been filling all the requirements, especially the veggies and have been making small little exceptions! That all ends right now. I have been 100% Phase 1 today and feel great.

The inches are noticeable that I am losing so that helps and my husband and boys have said they can see that I'm losing. I really love this way of losing weight and am so glad that I have it to fall back on when I have put on a few lbs!

To be successful on IP you have to be 100% OP

WUv, driving in sleet is the pitts anyplace. We have very extreme winters here
but what helps is our cars are prepared for it. I spend a fortune on winter tires but feel much more secure with them. It must be so hard when you almost never have such tough driving conditions. I hope the cold goes soon.

Another cold and snowy day here. It is a good thing I am 100% OP or I would be munching my way to added weight. We were suppose to go out of town to celebrate youngest daughter birthday but got an hour into our trip had to come back home. The roads were icy any we couldn't see the cars in front of us. The snow was blowing so hard. My first thought was I am going off plan today and eat some sweets. Luckily that was a passing thought and I am once again in control of my eating.

Of course I remember you. Looks like we are in the same boat. For my first year not doing IP my weight bounced around 20 or so pounds, but then as my life got out of control I gained another 40 pounds and now I need to lose about 60 pounds myself again.

Thanks, missed you all too.

I met with my old coach the other day and picked up my first week of food. I'll be starting on Monday. It was hard to get weighed and measured again, but thankfully ALL the numbers weren't terrible. One nice thing when I lose weight again this time will be seeing a much flatter belly as I had to have a tummy tuck as part of my reconstruction for my mastectomy. Now at least when I get back down I won't have that nasty tummy apron left over.

Congrats! Busymom on your willpower over the past day and on your fantastic accomplishment of 135 lbs lost. When I reach goal that is the amount I will have lost since my HW 268. My biggest concern right now is how much loose skin will I have when I get there? At my current weight I'm beginning to see loose skin. I've read that the lower percent fat the less it looks like loose skin. Have you noticed truth in that statement? Sorry if I'm getting too personal.
