Goodmorning everyone! There have been some great losses this week- good job everyone!
I am on day 2 of my mini phase-off. I was intimidated by the breakfast yesterday, but today I'm looking forward to it. I'm holding at the same weight as yesterday and I'm curious to see what the scale does as I go through the next 10 days. It will be a good way to know what to expect when I phase off for good and it might influence whether I change my goal weight or not.
I had my first group Pilates mat class last night. OMG. I felt broken. I ended up beside the Pilates goddess who did every pose perfectly. I couldn't even do some of the advanced moves at all. LOL I felt like a turtle stuck on it's back. Oh well, I just giggled to myself the whole time. I'll stick with it and look forward to getting stronger. 2- 10 lb babies and 2 c-sections have not been kind to my core muscles.
I had a nice NSV yesterday- one of my co-workers who only recently started to notice that I've been losing weight said "You're looking skinny today". I just laughed and said "That's good!".
This week I lost 4.2lbs! That is my best since week 2! I also lost 2 inches, another 1/2" in my hips so more jeans are fitting now! My total for 3 months is 36.6lbs and 26 inches! If you told me June 23rd I'd be where I am now I think I'd have a hard time believing you. We are going out for dinner tonight to somewhere I can finally feel confident in getting what I order. I have a lot of IP friends who have eaten there and highly recommend it. I can't wait to go out and not have to worry and actually enjoy my meal!
Good luck to the others who weigh in today also! Crossing my fingers for big numbers for ya!
OW WOW!!@ I am so happy for you! Next week I am due for the big loss! LOL We have to take turns you know!
Good morning everyone! Last night was a failure. I was so mad at my coach for no encouragement after yesterday's WI. I went to new clinic and sought out a new coach. They explained that given my weight and health conditions I would need special instructions from a very experienced coach and guidance from their medical team for IP. They would submit everything to the medical team and come up with a plan just for me. Symptoms I was having were not normal and that needed to check about them first. I felt much better there and like this team (not just one guy) really knew what they were doing. So I ate mcdonalds last night, then I felt terrible for doing it! This morning I woke up ready to take this on with a new coach. Today and this week is going to be great! I see my doctor today about symptoms and the dizziness to make sure nothing else is wrong.
Have great day everyone
I am so glad for you that you found another team that can set you up for no failures. I hope all goes well with your Doctors visit. Good luck.

I'm also HOME! YAY. Dallas was hot! I lived in Texas for years, but I don't remember it being that hot.
Welcome home and I am so excited for you being so close to your goal... way to go.
NSV last night - On Wednesdays I do ceramics and had dropped off my bag and was going back to my car for more and as I was heading out the door I heard one of the ladies saying wow she looks so thin. Made me smile all the way to the car. Later we were all discuss weight loss (My ceramic teacher had lost weight as well on another program) and the lady that said I looked thin told me I look really good and years younger. I finally feel like I am slowly fitting into my new body, if that makes any sense to you...
Congrats all for their BIG NSVs and SVs... Have a great day.
Today marks my 11th week on IP, and I am so happy I am where I am now, I lost a total of 38 pounds, all this and I cheated!
This week, I lost only one pound, I mean, not really since I cheated, gained 3 pounds, lost them all plus one pound! so a total loss of 4 pounds, but it only counts as one... See... Cheating is baaaaaaaad !
I see that everyone is doing well in here, and almost everyone is seeing a coach, I am not really seeing a coach, since the very beginning, I went to see a coach, it happened that she went on a vacation right after I started, then I continued buying my IP products from another center, then I went to another center where they took my weight and measurements, but since then, I did not go because I discovered about using alternative products. Speaking of that, I got my package yesterday, and today I tried the honey nut cereals and they were much more than delicious and not even a restricted, they are the Protidiet Protein Soy Cereals - Honey Nut that I got from my proteinwell.ca order, they are so yummy.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Keep up the good work
Have a good day everyone
I've never seen a coach and I ate my 2nd ever IP prodcut last night. I'm doing this all on my own. It can be done!

I hardly had time to reply yesterday so congrats to everyone on their awesome losses! Wednesdays are always such a big WI day. Thats cool that you added the halloween spreadsheet to a "team total" wuv. Maybe pxlkitty could add a formula for that too and we could always see it. I couldn't believe the thread was already to 2 pages when I got on this morning but my babe did sleep an extra hour so maybe that is why. So, I was wondering is anyone hungrier because of the cold? I know it sounds crazy but I feel hungrier before lunchtime and my DH says that its because its so cold out. I think I'm looking for something warm and comforting. I've been brewing a lot of Chai Tea lately so thank goodness for that.

THis morning I made for the first time the IP Crispy Cereal Pancakes! YUMMY with WF syrup..oh really good. What a way to start my day....something new and exciting!! I am ready for a good week (Since I WI on a Wed, Thurs starts a new IP week for me.)
I have a question on how to post a regular message using the little emoticons... I can see how to put them in the signature line, but they don't seem to be visible here from this reply to a message box? How do you do it?
It is a rainy (drizzle), overcast day here in upstate NY. good craft day The Laundry is almost caught up. I am trying to think of somethin exciting to make for dinner tonight, but nothing comes to mind. hmmm
Itsaboutime - you are rocking it! I just don't get when I follow the program why I can't be rockin' it better. Tomorrow is week 11 WI for me, doesn't look promising and I have done nothing different than last week. Gets my Goat! Off to make some hand-made invites in my craft room Everyone have a great day!

I was just going through the old recipe 2 looking for something different. Showgirlz has a garlic lime pork chop recipe that looks really good. Here is the spot. It is on page two of it. http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/idea...pes-2-a-2.html
I was sick early this week and missed my Monday weigh in. So today is the day I am officially down 40 pounds. I only have 1.6 to go and I am confident I am down that and then some.
Also this weekend I went to my sisters. She gave me her size 14's and 16's. I am in a pair of size 14 pants today. WOW. I am just in awe. My scale at home this morning was also under 200 for the first time! It was 198. I was amazed. Granted when I weigh in in the afternoon at my clinic I will probably we around 201-202. So one more week for the official onederland!.
Good Morning All! Quick question. . .I eat the vanilla pudding every single day for breakfast. Last time I was at my clinic, I noticed IP changed the packaging for the vanilla pudding (and a few others). I have now had 3 puddings from the new package and notice that the texture and flavour are very different then the old one. The new texture is more "foamy" and the taste is not nearly as good. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm really concerned because I don't like very many of the IP food options, and I don't know what I would have for breakfast every day going forward. I really do NOT like the new vanilla pudding.

Have you tried the ready made vanilla shakes? They are awesome, I think anyway. The chocolate one is not bad. I'm really nit crazy over the texture of the foamy pudding either but if you put it in the freezer for about 15 mins it thickens and is a bit better
