Thought I would try opening the chat today... not successful, will figure out how to add the links in for next time. Have a great day.

Good Morning!

All is well so far! Beautiful sunshiney day, and my spirits are up! My pants are getting loose and I just feel beyond happy to have found something I can stick to AND see results. LOVE IP!!

Have a fantastic day!

Thanks 2RIDEROLLERCOAST for starting todays thread! :carrot: Have a great day!!! :D
Wanted to give a shout out to JudoGirl for her post yesterday (didn't have time to respond at the time)...she wrote:

"Good Morning Everyone..Wow the clinic is going great..and people are losing weight. I'm so excited!
This weekend I'm going to a Bridal Expo here in San Antonio and set up a booth. Hopefully I can help the brides out there that want to look special for that day. Also members of the bridal party that want to slim down and
get in top shape. Wish me luck I just believe in the program so much I want to share the love.."

JudoGirl...I just wanted to say how impressed I am that you opened up your own clinic, and that it's doing great!! :carrot: It's wonderful to see someone who has such an amazing passion for the IP program ...who believes in it with all their heart...and knows first hand what the clients will be going thru!! I wish you the very best and I really feel that this is just the beginning of something HUGE!! Not many people have heard about IP (in my area anyway). I wish Hubby and I had heard about it a LONG time ago!! I know that the clinics around here are just getting the word out....it's just a matter of time before the world is a healthier, happier place!! So thanks again!!:hug:


...and good luck this weekend!! You may be changing lives forever!!! Please let us know how it goes!! :smug:

Good Morning,

Not much new, just happy to be OP and the sun is shining. Tomorrow night is another picnic at the lake. I am making a gigantic tossed salad (me me me) and by request my pasta salad, which I will not eat any. I will pack my H2O and Propel and that will be that! Off to Wegmans to get Veggies :)

Good morning Everyone. Was in a bummed out mood yesterday - hadn't seen the sun here in over a week... rain, rain, rain... but it came out last night for an hour before sunset - suppose to make an appearance today too - hope so as you can't see across the street for all the fog right now!

Anyways... I made myself another pudding cake last night for snack time - this time using the Blueberry pudding mix & oh my! Delicious! It was the best one yet - it was even like a cake, not the puff pastry thingy the butterscotch ones have been turning out like (love them too though!) Will try the chocolate/banana tonight... yep - went IP shopping and bought every flavor they had - now to buy some poppy seeds and rhubarb tonight! ;0)

Anyone else 'adding' stuff (besides extracts) to the pudding muffin/cakes - always looknig for new ideas! ;0)

So the sun will come out and my spirits will lift with the fog! I am going to have a great OP day - one baby step at a time - and I wish the same for you all!

Hello everyone! Haven't been on for a week, just been super crazy both at work and at home. Had a great WI on Sat... I lost 6lbs. :carrot: Its the first major loss since my first few weeks. It helps me on those days when i want to throw in the towel!

I get to meet my boyfriend's sister and her family for the first time tomorrow and am making an amazing meal for them in which I will not get to eat! I love to cook for people and do miss eating the meals I use to make! I think these can be hardest for me. On the flip side once dinner is done I have to leave for a little bit to go play in my softball tournament! We won our first game last night and have moved up! I look at how much I weighed when I first started playing and am 25 lbs lighter!!

Got my first compliment from someone who didn't know I am on IP. He asked me if I was losing and told me I was looking good! ;) It made my day yesterday!

Good luck everyone the second half of the week and keep up the good work!! We can do this!

Happy Wednesday Everyone! Weighed-in yesterday and lost 7.6 pounds! Yahooo!!! My first weigh-in since I started up again, so the big loss is expected... but, still, I am super excited! I almost forgot how easy and satisfying this diet is!

Have a lovely day y'all!

CONGRATS!!! :cheer:

That's great Stacy! Those compliments always feel so good and help keep a person motivated:)

Great losses for those who've had WI's recently! Hope everyone has a great day!

Coming back....
 

So i haven't been on the boards lately but have been dealing with so much...now that I am back I am ready to remain OP to hit my weight goal...

Tried the pudding cakes last night with the chocoalte puddding and they were amazing....Good Luck to everyone and stay OP!!

OMGGGGGGGG I really missed something here LOL.......what are these pudding cakes you all are raving about... gotta try it! recipe please? pleaseeee? thanks!:carrot:

Today is going to be a good day! I did forget my lunch IP packet so I'm going to switch my lunch and dinner menu. This might be a blessing since I'm having an animal rescue meeting at Chic-fil-A tonight. I still haven't been by Akins Whole Foods yet to get my WF products. Hope everyone has a fantastic OP day!!

Can anyone tell me how to get the little weight loss scale at the bottom that tracks how much you have lost?

The Ultimate Signature and Ticker Thread and all info is found on the first page of each day, with all the explanation and directions. Please refer back to yesterdays first page and you will see the link. :) "Tickers and Signatures:
