Good morning! I am out of my funk and just wanted to stop in to celebrate~today I am at 199.4!!!! ONEderland!!! OMG!!!! I am so excited. I am down 40.2 and 4.8 away from my halfway mark.
In other news, I hope my fellow east coasters all stay safe with the threat of Irene looming.

I had a super rough day yesterday. I know I came clean about not eating right and missing supplements on the weekend. I have been much better about all of that, but yesterday I felt like I'd been hit by a truck. I have been feeling exceptionally foggy lately and by the afternoon I was achy everywhere, weak, clammy, and my heart was pounding. It was scary.
I rushed home after work and took extra potassium, cal-mag and omegas and forced down a cup of water with salt in it. I still felt terrible all night, but it improved a bit. Today I still feel some achiness, but not the weakness I had yesterday. Lesson learned. Don't miss supplements any more.
When i was feeling my worst I seriously though about moving to phase 3 and giving my body a break. IP has been fabulous in so many ways, but I am feeling more and more like I've reached my limit. Unfortunately, I haven't reached my goal yet! I want to lose 10 more lbs before I start to phase off. I am going to stick with it and be dilligent. If I still fee crappy, maybe I'll have to reassess. I know I could phase off for a while and then come back, but the consensus seems to be that returning after a break is really difficult.
So again, my goal for the day: get in all the veggies and all the supplements. The packets and protein are never an issue. I packed my lunch last night- so I won't forget my veggies for lunch today!

Have a great day everyone!
I'm sorry you are feeling so down. You've done great! "Just" 10 more pounds. You can do it!
When I weighed in this morning I was down 3.4lbs! I've been stuck at 2.6 for 3 days so it was a nice surprise. Anything over 3 gets me super excited. Slowly creeping in on 30! My goal is to hit it next week but TOM will be coming soon and throwing a wrench in my plans I'm sure. I will do my best though and that's all I can do. Have a great day and good luck to all of the Thursday weighers.

Thank you all so much. I can't even begin to explain how thankful I am for this site and all of your wisdom and support! The encouragement is immeasurable!
Does anyone else have this problem - I am always cold now! I have my little heater on at work every day now. I have started wearing jeans, short sleeve shirt, and sweatshirt every day too. It hasn't cooled off here and has been in the 90's every day. I am going to be in trouble once winter hits. I am in MT so it will get cold! I need to find some fleece lined jeans!

Congratulations!! I am so happy for you. I cant wait to get to that point of being in the 100's. It has been so long. That is a huge goal to reach and a wonderful accomplishment.!!

I do get colder also. I do not know why. I know Montana gets cold winters. I am in eastern washington and we get cold also.
