Weighed today and I am down 7# for the week. I added Callanetics and a bar in the morning and I think that helped. I will add a slow walk in next week and see how that affects my loss.

AWESOME LOSS!!! Feels so good to see those numbers going down!

NSV: Huge for me, I went to buy some basic black capris yesterday, and I NO LONGER and a plus sized girl...purchased them in the "regular" section of the store. I haven't done that EVER in my life. I am proud of this body and the transformations it has taken in a month on IP. Can't wait to see the results.

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!
(oh yeah, I got my ticker too!)

Hello everyone!!

I had WI yesterday and lost 4lbs! Horray! I'm getting closer to the weight I was before Hawaii. Just a bit more to go.

Today I have a lot of homework to do, and tonight I'm attending my husband and moms MS Pub Night. They are having pizza and salad. I'll eat before I go and bring a snack with me, maybe even some WF salad packs if the salad is undressed and OK to eat.

I think the hardest thing for me lately is actually EATING. Can't believe it's true but I constantly forget to eat. I've been missing my 3rd IP/snack for the day.

Hubby is doing well & so is mom. Mom has lost 5lbs and hubby has lost almost 20lbs (this is since we started again, it's been 3 weeks on plan).

Anyways, hope everyone has a good day! Take care

You know, it doesn't break my heart to go to restaurants and order OP. I don't think twice about it anymore!! Isn't that a great feeling?!

Congrats on the NSV! I still find myself heading to the plus section of the stores, then I remember that I don't belong there anymore!!!

Happy Saturday everyone!

It's a miserable rainy day today and I'm stuck home alone with my kids while my husband works noon to midnight. My daughter had Occupational Therapy this morning an then my DH left for the day. I made them lunch and while I was cleaning up, my daughter broke my keyboard drawer and scribbled on my monitor! My first thoughts were: "can I binge now?" but I did not! I made a cup of "Forever Nuts" tea. It is one of my favs because of the name and the taste!

I've been taking Floralax (one last night and one just after lunch) and it is working... maybe I didn't gain after all.

Question: How many grams of carbs per day is the max we should have on IP? (Just curious)

You are all doing so great! I love how prepared you are for the outing! Sadly, I don't think I will ever forget to eat...

Haven't been here for a while because I was feeling discouraged. I know that 43 pounds is an accomplishment, and then I look at how much there is left to go. I was down 3lbs at Wi yesterday. So the scale is finally moving again.

Spent 2 hours last Saturday cleaning out my closet and chest of drawers of clothes that no longer fit. Have them ready to go to consignment/ donation.

I have had a real sit down with myself and recommited to the process. I can use any and all support from the folks here who understand. How do you keep going when it gets tough?

Happy Weekend fellow IPer's...mine is not off to a great start food wise. I tried the soy patty mix for lunch today and it was flat out terrible, dry, mealy..just plain ole yucky!! It was quite hard to eat while the other half had lasagna and soda But he is very supportive of my diet and I have to be understanding of his diet as well. He is Type 1 diabetic and has no body fat at all so going into ketosis for him is a trip to the hospital.He does eat the same meal with me everynight which is really great Going to spend the weekend cleaning the house with the crummy weather out and planning out my next week's worth of meals and getting excited about my first weigh in on Tuesday! Everyone have a great weekend and congrats on all the SV and NSV!!!!
