I'm not sure on the pickles rule myself - I know it says "dill" are okay, so I just used the ones I had in my fridge.
I personally thought the Big Mac In A Bowl sounded gross, but after all the great reviews I tried it and LOVED IT! I ate it two days in a row for dinner, haha.

Here is the receipe:
Big Mac in a Bowl
• 1/2 pound raw ground beef, about 5 1/2 ounces cooked weight or 153 grams cooked *
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon minced dry onions
• 46 grams dill pickle slices or 2 dill spears, chopped, about 1 5/8 ounces
• 2 tablespoons WF Thousand Island Dressing
• 1 1/2 ounces iceberg lettuce, shredded
Brown the ground beef, drain off any fat, season with salt and pepper.. Meanwhile, soak the dry onions in a little water to rehydrate them. Put the meat in a large salad bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Toss and eat at once.


***I used ground turkey instead of beef and also seasoned it with garlic powder. And then I added fresh onions to the lettuce mix (did not cook them), rather than the dry onions. SOOOOO GOOOD!

I'm on Day 10 right now. I was weighed in the morning of Day 6 and had lost 7.2 lbs!!!
Strangely enough, I travel to my coach so I only get weighed in every 2 weeks usually.
I am feeling better but still a bit tired! I weighed myself this morning (day 7) and have lost 8 pounds so far. My 1st initial WI is on Friday so maybe 10lbs?!! hopefully.

Thumbs up First Day today
Hello everyone I joined yesterday and today was my first day on this diet

So have to say on the upside it is amazing how I dont feel ravenous at all. I couldnt finish all of my dinner.

On the downside I had the headache that didnt go away with all the salt in china so I had to take an excedrin.

But all in all so far so good. I am at 147 and need to get down to 110. Its not a small goal so here we go

Welcome, I am 4 days down the IP road so I'm pretty new at this too. Good news is I have lost 4 lbs in those 4 days! You will be surprised how much you will learn in a very few days. I've enjoyed exploring this site and have gotten a whole lot of information over the past few days. Folks are very helpful here and it makes it easy to ask what feel like dumb questions from us newbies. Read and ask questions and post the highs and lows. The support is wonderful!

This really is a terrific forum. I am really excited to be here. Thank you for the warm welcome. I am on day 2 and going strong. It is strange how already I feel lighter and less fatigued. The real challenge will be next week when i have to travel to NYC for some business. I hope to prepare for it in advance.

Default Hello!
I have been looking at this website since last week when I started IP. After a couple of days I was ready to throw in the towel (as I tend to do everytime I start a diet) but after reading what everyone had to say it gave me motivation. All my friends are skinny so I felt like I had to do this on my own! I am glad to be in my second week. Its not as hard but I find myself missing my favorites!! I have always been the girl who lives to eat not eats to live I lost 5.2lbs my first week and am looking forward to seeing how I did this week! Thank you to everyone who has posted good ideas both for food and motivation, they help alot to those who are just starting!!

How'd your WI go?!

I'm on Day 12, and I can already tell I've lost inches. I wore a shirt yesterday that the seam on the cuff was cutting off arm circulation a month ago and was comfy yesterday! Also my bras were too big band-wise, so I'm down another size! (Just hope the cup size doesn't change-haha)

Woo Hoo it is Friday. Ok, yall this is the time we want to slip up, but this is the time we most need to dig in and keep our eye on the prize. Have a steak, cook some asparagus with leek soup poured over it. Have a restricted bar for dessert. We have the tools to make even a Friday nite special...

Stay cool and stay focused!!!
