Yes! I spray a little pan in a glass pyrex style dish and put the "eggs" in. I cook it about 45 seconds, stir, cook another minute. comes out great!

How long have you been off the pill? Some people I know have been on the pill for a little bit and when they get off it's like magic

I haven't used the pill in 10 years! I am seriously allergic to the hormones and haven't been able to use any form of b/c forever!

thank you for any advice.

YUMM!! Organic chicken! I would say do it with skin on. I do mine roasted with skin on and just pull back the skin a little, stuff fresh herbs and seasoning between the skin and the meat, then rub the skin with olive oil and sea salt. That way you can keep the meat moist, get the good seasoned meat flavor, and toss the skins.
for the Chicken:
• Zest of a whole lemon
• Juice of ½ a lemon
• 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh rosemary
• 1-½ tablespoons of finely chopped fresh thyme
• 1teaspoon of dried oregano
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 1 -2 teaspoon Sea Salt
• 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon Freshly cracked Pepper
Preheat oven to 350º. Rinse the chicken and discard the giblets.
Place the chicken on a clean surface. Pat dry with some paper towels.
Meanwhile, take the pan that you’ll be roasting the chicken in and add ½ cup of water
In a bowl, add chopped thyme, lemon zest, rosemary, oregano, salt and pepper to the 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil. Mix well. You will rub this under the chicken skin to spread in and on the chicken. Reserve the last bit of olive oil to rub into the skin of the chicken.
With your fingers, loosen the skin on the chicken breasts, legs, and thighs. Rub the herbed mixture into the meat, under the skin (try not to tear all of the skin while doing this.). Be sure to rub the back of the chicken with the oil mixture, and even the cavity of the chicken. You also want to rub the skin of the chicken with the mixture to. I ended up having enough for the whole bird, but if needed, add a bit more olive oil. The oil is mostly to help the chicken brown, add crispness, and a little moisture.
Place the chicken, breast side up in a roasting pan.
Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into a thigh registers 180ºF which is about 2 hours into the cooking, or if you’re using the purdue roaster chicken, it should tell you when it’s done. Another way to check if it’s done is by inserting a fork in the chicken. The fork should go in easily and the juices in the chicken should run clear.

Did we lose any of the messages from the other board?

I can't see that we lost any messages but it sure has made a problem for our post level for the week since we are carrying over the added days from last weekend.

My initial goal is 40 pounds but I do have a lot more than that has to go.
I have been reading Dr. Tran's book and it looks like this plan was designed for only a few weeks. I'm wondering what the longest some people on the forum have been on the plan. As well I am looking for more info on the 'after' maintenance. Is there a forum or thread in regards to this? Any info on the after would be appreciated.
Thanks for all your inspiration so far !
Cheers !

WELCOME!! we are glad to have you here!
This plan was designed for much more than a few weeks. It can be done as long as is needed but, some people, will slow down a bit in loss the longer they are on it. It does need to be done as strictly as possible for the 90 days to get some of the long term benefits if you have a large amount of weight to lose.
I have been on the plan 5.5 months. I still have another 3 to 5 months to go. This forum is fairly new. The first posts about IP were made in July of 2009. Some people have recently shifted into the later stages and maybe, Babs, Novak, or the others will be able to share what to expect in stage 3 and 4.
