Almost 6 weeks in and a couple of questions
 

Hey everyone. I love this forumn and have read read read. I feel like I have seen some of these topics but can't find them. So I love this diet and feel great, but I have some questions.

1. Does anyone purchase cheaper supplements? I plan on purchasing the three basics (Pot, cal/mag, and multi) with my coach, but want to purchase the Omega and anti-oxy at the drug store (8.99 compared to 24).

2. Does anyone think that 1 cup of brocolli at week and 1 cup of cauliflower a week and 1/4 to a 1/2 cup of mushrooms a few times a week is too much? I only lost 1.5 pounds officially at weigh-in this week (but am down 26 pounds total for 5 weeks). I just thought it was body adjusting and the big C, but coach said cut out those three veggies, I had the least of those three the past week and have had much more other weeks. She took about 30 seconds to look at journal.

3. Salsa is a no-no right? I saw someone post a recipe with it and I thought it was a no-no, but I thought I would ask......I haven't touched it.

4. How do I change my weight loss slide on the bottom of my signature to reflect my increase in weight loss?

Thanks ahead of time. Happy day:carrot:

Supplements: Yes; I'm in Canada so the brands I buy aren't available in the U.S. so naming them won't help. Take your empty bottles with you or check out Ideal-to-go to see what the key components are.
Broccoli, caulflower and mushrooms: I never had a problem. However, every one's different. Try it and see what happens.
Salsa: don't know for sure, but the tomato would probably count as one of your "occasional" vegetables
Ticker: (Y'all had to know I was going to jump in to answer this one. :p)

• For weight trackers, all you do is edit your Starting/Current/Goal weights
  in your profile.
• For pounds lost trackers like yours you have to edit the code. :fr: ... Fear not, it's fairly simple.

Hey GTA --- nice to meet a fellow Canadian.

I too am looking for the weight-loss counter ... how do I get it?

I don't have time right now to do a full link etc. right here.
There's a link on the first page (usually the first post) of every chat thread, daily or weekend in the blue text. The chat thread is also a great place to post questions. hint, hint. ;

broccoli and cauliflower
 

I eat broccoli and cauliflower almost every day - about 2 cups or broccoli and 1 cup of cauliflower. I'm down 21 pounds after about 5 1/2 weeks. Darbs, I'd like to hear/read why the coach thinks these should be restricted (and mushrooms).

She says it is because they are higher carb veggies....I had been eating them alot too and last week I didn't eat many...I think she was just looking for something....I am down 27 pound in 5 1/2 weeks...good enough...I will do what I think works. Enjoy your cauliflower and brocolli:carrot:
