Hey everyone !
It's been a while that I'm reading you all, but I've finally choose to register.. I've been on IP for about 1 month now, -18 pounds. I'm not starving and everything seems to be fine. I'm kinda sad because it's summer and I want like a cosmopolitan or an Ice cream, but I'm holding on. I've never cheated on it before last sunday, and my weight-in is tomorow so I hope everything will be allright, even if i've cheated.. I'm from quebec city, canada, so my real langage is french and I hope that everyone understant what I say, even if my english is not perfect :) |
Couldn't find fresh rhubarb at whole foods, but already chopped frozen ones! Can't wait to make them. Also got kale so making kale chips too. Going to a friend's for dinner tomorrow so will take them as apps and dessert for myself IF they turn out good. On tummy subject: came home early and just had a shot of espresso which gave me a severe head rush and actually found magnesium citrate in the medicine cabbinet so we"ll see

The Kale chips were ok to me, better when they were almost burnt...but the zucchini chips were FANTASTIC! :dancer: |
Jordanna- Good to see you back! Congrats on the 60# loss. That is a major accomplishment! Isn't it funny that you are the inspiration for your Dad. He also has done so well.
I have been thinking of buying a couple things for summer, but wondered too if it would be a waste. I thought I could get some capris that could be altered with little trouble. I can't even imagine getting down to a size 4. Brocola- You really made me laugh about your being "a wild raccoon in the pantry"!! Boy, have we all been there before. Once that starts I think you need to leave the house or have a big change in scenery to get back to reason. An outside walk might to it. I am planning on using the South Beach Diet recipe books and some Low GI recipe books to provide inspiration for my new way of living. Novak - Congrats on your shrinking woman syndrome! I should be so lucky. I agree that it is best to be as vigilent as you can for as long as you can. I am not a little bit of anything kind of person, so that could set me off on a binge. |

Kale chips??? I think I am a serious kale fan now. I did almost burn them :) do you remember in that one episode of cheers where the guy has a drink and goes "hmm you can taste the kale in it" ??? I keep remembering that. can't remember name of the character but it was the young a little bit daft bartender. Oh just remembered, Woody, his name was Woody...I think. little worried though as I can have too much of this stuff very very easily under the disguise of vegetable goodness. Think I just had my portions of vegetables for the day. There is 7 grams of carbs in one cup of kale :( |

JUST DO IT! |

Congrats on the birth of your new little boy! As young as you are, you will probably tighten up right away. I don't look too bad after losing 45 pounds and I'm 52. My neck is a bit loose, but I think it looks worse to me than anyone else. Supposedly, if you use the packets containing collagen (jelly and pomegranate drink), it helps prevent loose skin. I haven't really done much of that myself. As far as exercise goes, I haven't done much since I started this. I could have done more. But they don't want you to get your heart rate up too high or you could burn your muscle and/or kick yourself out of ketosis and be on a true starvation diet. Just try walking at first. Chaplain's Wifey has done tremendously well using that as her exercise. Good luck! You can do great! |
just to see if my tracker works.

OK. Took a deep breath today, staying on track. Keep thinking of some events coming up that I want to look good for (Bon Jovi concert, daughters' bday parties). And my pants felt a bit tight today (gee wonder why ;) ), so that REALLY kept me in check. I just keep telling myself that I am in control of my life and my eating. That little binge voice must be silenced! Seriously going to take it one day at a time!

all this talk about sizes - I can't wait to walk in to a normal store and buy clothes. I think I'm getting close. All of my size 18 pants are too big, and my 1X shirts are baggy but I'm nervous to take the plunge and walk in to a normal store. I'm scared that the clothes won't fit and I'll be sad.
Not to mention, when you've only had 1 or 2 stores to choose your clothes from for 15 years it's hard to really know what your style is and what stores to shop in! |
don't mean to go on about this but am finishing a bunch of kale chips and lots of rhubarb...I wont have my 3rd protein pack of the day and just count all of the vegetables as a portion...
I think I have the talent to make any positive situation into a negative one...happy that they are yummy, sad to eat too much :) |
