HI torchlaker! Thanks for the reply. I have read many of the old posts but i havent gottena list of the dos and donts. I was wondering if anyone was kind enough to share the vegetable lists and also they didnt tell me about the sea salt? do i take that everyday!!! I feel so lost!
My husband and I were inspired by the cracker recipe using the plain crepes. We came up with this recipe for chocolate cookies.
Chocolate Cookies
Ingredients:
2 oz water
1 packet sweetener
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 packages IP Chocolate Pancake Mix
1 Egg white
Preheat oven to 350
In a med bowl mix the water, egg white, sweetener, and vanilla. Add 2 packages Chocolate Pancake Mix and stir until well mixed.
Drop by rounded spoonful onto a cookie sheet. Makes 6 cookies (3 cookies per serving).
Wow...I am SO impressed with all these recipes. Here I thought I was just limited to "opening a packet."
Alwe74 (and Leenie) -- this forum was your baby. Do you know how to start a new thread or make stickies? I have NO idea what Leenie is talking about....I have only ever posted to this forum. A yahoo group would be nice, too.....don't know how to do that either. I just have this set up under Favorites...and click on last page. (and go backwards).
Mmmmm...I tried Toasted Marshmallow DiVinci syrup in my pudding today...tasted pretty good!!
Taking a big step (as we speak). I have been a light blonde since my early 20's (many moons ago).....and am trying a shade FOUR shades darker. It looks pretty scarey. Oh geez, I guess it is time to go take it off. (I wanted new hair for my new body....lol),
I am starting IP in the morning. I have all my packets and vitamins. I am so inspired to hear all the great stories shared by everyone and I can't wait to be part of this reducing group. The recipes sound great and I will be trying them and any new ones I come across. My friend started IP about 6 months ago and has lost 90 plus pounds. Good luck to all.
Torchlaker, I can start a new thread but I don't know what a "sticky" is. I don't want to lose all of the good recipes we have here. Maybe we could start two threads, one for chat and one for recipes.
Disneynerd- OMG your story made me laugh... Leave it to kids to tell you how it is!
Well I had my weigh in today. Only 1 lb. down. I have been having the sea salt/vinegar ridges everyday. I guess they only have one less carb than the bars. I was told a couple of weeks ago to only have the bars twice a week. Now I have to add the sea salt/vinegar ridges to that list. AAARGH...Those are my favorite food!!! Anyways, it sound like everybody else is having good weigh-in's. Keep up the good work.
Made it through the first day!
I feel pretty good. had a little nausea during dinner but I think that had more to do with me getting tied up at a church thing and not getting to eat until late than anything else. I had one of those boxed chocolate drinks right after and felt better.
For breakfast I had a cup of coffee and the omelet. it wasn't bad. Are we allowed to use cooking spray? Like Pam? I used a little to keep it from sticking.
For lunch I had a salad loaded with veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers and red onion) with WF Thousand island and one of the cranberry pomegranite something-or-other drink.
Since dinner was late, I just ate another salad like I had at lunch but added 5 oz of cooked ground turkey breast. And like I mentioned previously, one of the boxed drinks.
I'm looking forward to trying some of the recipes from this thread!

I agree, Alwe. I would not want to lose all of the info on this thread either. I really need to go back and read certain things from time to time. I helps me. Cant explain that but it does.....I am not very technical so have no idea what a sticky is either, but don't mind the idea of a thread that contains recipes only.....maybe the people that have already posted recipes, could take a minute and repost them on that thread? would that work? I like this forum, and cannot believe all the people on it now!!!

I've been playing with haircolor for about 10 years. I've about got down how I like to do it, but it's a lot of work! I've always been blonde, but getting tired of fighting darker and darker roots, I have tried going brown, but I just don't recognize myself! I have started going with a darker base. Before, you change back, try heavy highlights. You'll end up with a blonde with low-lights effect.
My 2 cents: Yahoo groups are a pain in the butt. I would definitely like a separate thread with recipes, as it would make finding them easier, as well as keep this one for advice and support.
I will make a recipe sticky for you. I will also start a monthly chat for you, you can do it weekly or how ever you like to suit your needs. Nothing will be lost.
I will close this thread but it will remain on the board for you all to reference
