I POSTED THIS ON A SEPERATE THREAD....SOMEONE SUGGESTED TO REPOST ON THE DAILY IP CHAT. I HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT TO POST AS A QUOTE FROM A DIFFERENT THREAD.
First, thanks for your insight and daily blogs...this is the website I found that convinced me IP was the diet for me. I also have a friend that is doing IP and lost 32 pounds in 3 months. As part of my Christmas present I told my husband I wanted him and I to do this program. With some reluctance and reservation he gave in. We started the Wednesday after the superbowl, February 9th. I'm 5'3" 1/2 and weighed in at 186. After the first week I lost 4 lbs (I was hoping more like 6 to 8 lbs and so was my coach) and 1 inch around my waist. The second week I lost 2 lbs and 2 inches. Of course my husband has lost a total of 10 lbs...that's a man for ya! I think I'm following the program correctly. We will be weighing in on Tuesday and I'm hoping for at least 3 lbs. I have some questions that you might be able to help with: 1. do you measure your vegi's before or after you cook them? 2. how do you measure things like spinch, do you pack it into measuring cup, and radishes, to bulky to fit into a measureing cup? 3. I keep mushrooms that I've sauted in a teaspoon of oil in my refrigerator. I use some in my omelet, mushroom soup and with our meat. Do I have to count the oilf in the mushrooms as part of my oil for the day or do you think it's a negligible amount to count? 4. If you go over your meat allowance by a couple or few ounces will it matter? 5. Do you count romaine and mixed green lettuce as part of you vegi's or is it part of the unlimited lettuce (didn't know if it was just iceberg lettuce that was considered under the unlimited lettuce)? I'm just concerned about having to many vegi's or carbs and to much oil. My coach says having a little extra meat or vegi's won't hurt. I asked about starting to exercise maybe that would help but my coach said no don't start yet. I appreciate any advice you can give me. |

1. I measure before I cook them 2. I am not sure on the spinach, I do not eat it. Radishes, I have cut up smaller and used the measuring cup. 3. Personally I would not count that oil. As you take them out to use, let any excess drip off and I think you would be fine. 4. I have gone over my oz of protein for my evening meal by 1 or 2 on occassion and have not seen any issues. I would not get into the habit. It could also be different for females. 5. You can have unlimited lettuce. I would stay away from Iceberg lettuce. I used Romaine and Redleaf lettuce. Lettuce is not part of your veggi consumption. Hope this helps. |

Now as far as the Kool Aid it does say 0/0/0 but maybe a senior can way in on any other ingredient. |
Good morning,
I am like most of you, I am ready for spring. Reckon it is because we know the shape of our body is better, the fact that we feel better or that we realize we are going to enjoy this spring and summer better than last year. Hope all have a good op day. Catch you later, Judy |
Have a great day everyone. Congrats on Losses and willpower.

Morning everyone!
I see all the talk about boot camp and it's funny cause I didn't know what it was at first then realized it's exactly what I've been doing for the past 12 days LOL. I'm still so new at this and according to my menu, bootcamp is where it's at for me right now anyway. Like Colorado girl, I too am looking forward to the bars and other snacks that are considered restricted but for now, it's meat and veggies and packets for me :) I went out and bought a mandoline slicer today which I'm sure will help make slicing my veggies much easier. Especially the parsnip, what a pain in the *ss that was! Looking forward to more baked parsnip chips tonight, really loved them last night! My how things have changed in just a week in a half. NSV this past weekend too...was shopping for some photography props and was avoiding the clothes racks like the plague when my friend called me over to look at something. I spotted a sweater I liked but wasn't sure if I should bother buying anything because of where I want to go with this. I decided to try it on anyway and for the heck of it, I tried on the 1X instead of my usual 2-3X and it fit beautifully! AND it looked great so I ended up buying it :) Part of me is hoping I won't be able to wear it long before it's too big LOL. Anyway, hope everyone has a great OP day! Hugs Stacy |
