Great idea - survey... i completed it, but am unsure as to how i can see the results?
Hi Sandra - unfortunately the free survey package doesn't allow the users to view the results. I'll download these once a week (probably over the weekend) and post so everyone can view. I won't post an update if there haven't been any changes since the previous posting.
I did download the initial responses - see the attached! I've sorted this by highest rated to lowest rated. When using this as a guide, be sure to observe how many people have voted for an item - there are a few cases where the item is very highly rated, but only one person has tried it.

Quick question, crepes and oatmeal are restricted foods, meaning only allowed once a day for breakfast? Is this ok for phase 1. Up until now the only IP stuff I've been having are those drink boxes! I just ordered a ton of stuff from idealtogo and cant wait to get the puddings, oatmeal, crepes, etc.
Could some of you post a sample of your daily meal plan, please and thank you!? It would really help me to figure out how I should be spacing out the different products. So far I'm thinking, oatmeal/pancake for breakfast, drink box w/ veggies for lunch, lean protein w/ veggies for dinner, and pudding for snack?? Hopefully I'll be ok with this!
2nd day today on it...woke up feeling kind of hung over..a little tired but over all happy. I put my 2 cups of broccoli in my soup today and it was wayyy good and a lot more satisfying
oh and i got a salad dressing recipe from my boyfriends mom who is on IP
I just sort of eye ball it
about 1/3 cup olive oil
about 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
about 1/3 cup of lemon juice
and any kind of herbs you like. Its quite tasty
Hey Sandrab -- I have an entire box of crispy cereal -- I tried the one packet I was given and hated it. Too bad there's not an easy way we could all mix and match our packets!!!
It's the smell I can't get over the smell of some of these foods. It is not restricted.
can you return the box to the center and trade it for something else? That is allowed at the center i go to.

Before I ever started the program I asked about that since they only sell by the box not the packet. My coach said that normally they don't allow that but that in my case she would. I told her I was pretty picky and if I couldn't do that I just wouldn't do the program. I go Monday for my 1st weigh in and I will switch out some of the boxes I got then.

I don't have anything local, so I get everything from Ideal2Go. They don't allow any returns. But the clinic (3 Points Clinic in Burlington IA) that my brother and sister-in-law go to allow it (kind of). They have a trade in bucket. People can come in and swap. I'm guessing they periodically did samples of flavors and that's how some initial packets got into the bucket. Anyway, I thought that was a great idea for clinics, as a way to make things easy for their patrons. Maybe if you suggest it they'll give it a try. Makes trying new stuff much less risky.
Mizaron - Americanspice.com is a very interesting site. I am wondering what the difference is between the "oil" and the "syrups" i use. I am assuming one uses a lot less oil. How can oil be fatfree tho? Mmmmmm...the pumpkin oil sounds good for the butterscotch pudding, huh? (it is cold and rainy out -- thinking of pumpkin pie and hot cocoa today).
Good ? Torchlaker. I don't know why they are called oils. They are definitely not oil based. They are a strong flavoring. I typically only have to use a few drops in a drink or pudding. I like the Davinci syrups for some things but since they have Splenda they can sometimes cause food to be too sweet IMHO. With the flavoring oils that doesn't happen and I can add Splenda if needed.
Funny you should mention pumpkin pie. The other day I had a vanilla pudding with the pumpkin flavor oil and a little bit of pumpkin pie spice. It was Awesome!!! I'm think I'll have it for my 3rd packet tonight. Thanks for reminding me

Thank you so much for this recipe. I will try it tomorrow. I am really struggling with the Walden Farms salad dressings. I've had to mix the ranch and blue cheese with a Tbsp full of hot salsa to disguise the taste so I could eat it. (I'm too cheap to throw them away!) I figure at this rate, I won't have more than the 2 cups of tomatoes in a week.
I read in one of the earlier posts that the spritz salad dressings might be OK. Would someone please verify if this is true or not??? Thanks
Anyway, I came across this site with a ton of recipes! http://www.matol.com/Corpo/Hcenter/w...spx?lang=EN_US
I'd post them, but it looks like there are over 50 listed. (and interestingly, a few of them were given out by my IP coach!)
Love this site and the recipes. I have a lot of weight to lose and these will be very helpful in keeping me on the program!!!
Well, today was my first weigh in and I lost 7.7 pounds. I also lost 5 inches. I am so psyched. I want this to be my last diet program. I am so tired of going to sleep worrying about my weight and then waking up and worrying again.
I hope next week goes as well as this week but I know how the first week thing works but I am forever hopeful.
Are their other WF things that we can order or buy that are on IP. Does anyone have a site to but them directly from? Thanks everyone. Jenn
thanks so much for offering to send me the material that you have. Sorry i havent been on the site for awhile. I can give you my email i dont mind its [email protected]....
Today i have to say I got some bad news. I had been seeing a fertility doctor to try to get pregnant and she wants me to lose 100 lbs before she even does anything!!! i feel so depressed
