Hi Yes you have to input the IP foods into your custom foods, but only the one time then after when you click on custom foods they will be there!! It is worth the time to input all your IP foods.
If you have more questions please ask!!

My husband is a newly diagnosed diabetic and so he's eating the same diet that I'm eating! It makes life easier. I have a few co-workers that are also on this plan and that helps for support during the day.

This forum is REALLY helpful - checking in here every day, I get support, tips and friendship from other people who have walked this path before. I'm glad you found it! Good luck!

Yes WA woman are here! Eastern WA~

I am new to 3chicks and just had my third weigh in this past Wednesday- down 19.8 lbs in 3 weeks!! It is SO easy to follow.

Hi Wanna:

I have been on the program for 8 weeks now and have lost a total of 43-1/2 pounds which I am so very proud of.

The biggest thing for me is that I have NOT had any success in the past with trying to lose weight on my own.

I am just floored by this program and how it is helping me lose weight. It truly is unbelievable.

I feel more confidence in myself and feel that I have a "glow" going.

People are now starting to notice the weight loss and are commenting on it --- which boosts my self-esteem like never before.

Best of luck to you on this program --- if you stick to it, it does work!!!

Good luck with your weigh-in!
When I started the program I was addicted to Starbucks bottled Frappuccinos, and boy did I have brain fog for the first couple of weeks when I was coming off the caffeine! I had thought I would never be able to get myself going without it. But now I feel like I am running on clean energy, and my thinking is much clearer without those blood sugar crashes that happened before lunch every day.

I know exactly what you mean about seeing the person in the mirror and knowing that isn't the real you. What is great is the feeling that your true self is coming back into physical reality as you progress through this program. In my case it's also a feeling of getting younger, I really feel like I did when I was in my twenties, hopeful and enthusiastic about my future!

This isn't just a diet it's a reclamation of one's self.
