Good morning everyone, great to hear how everyone is doing. I am on week 2 of IP and finding it hard to eat everything. but I will do this I am loving the restrictions so much easier for me to follow. Hope everyone has a great Hump day, and congrats to all you that have a loss this week.

Some people just have no clue. This guy has said some "off the wall" stuff and not just to me. Office situations are so touchy. I was recently "reprimanded" for a simple comment I made that was totally taken out of context. I will say something "next time"......right now, I'm thinking out loud.

Thanks ladies.....

Hello everyone,

Glad to hear everyone is having a good morning!! I had a NSV last night as I was going through my old jeans (pre-marriage) which I haven't been able to fit into for last 5 years and surprisingly they FIT (went from a size 10 to 6).
I'm so excited to WI this friday since I finally hit my 127 lbs hurdle. In the past 5 years that i've been trying every fad diet you can think of, I have never been able to break my 127 plateau, always seem to get stuck there. This time on IP it only took me 3 days. My scale this morning read 126.1 and Im so excited to lose more before WI and finally start phase 2.

I used to think I didn't have any willpower but after starting this diet, I found that I had more than I ever thought possible!! Went out to dinner last week for our anniversary with my fiance and the roll and cinnamon butter smelled soooo good! But I just keep repeating "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!!!"


Have a great day everyone!!

Congratulations! That is a huge first WI loss! It's a great motivator too - keep up the great work!

I'm worried about this weekend, I'm attending a 4 day conference where all meals are set, I did call ahead and the lunch is buffet so I should be able to pick from there and I will bring along some WF dressings to use.

Is there a problem with skipping the IP package at lunch and doing a protein if they have it along with salad and veggies? Plus do the same for supper?

Also up to this point I have been measuring my veggies and I obviously can't do that so I'll just have to guess.

On top of that it is a 6 hour drive so guess it'll be quite the test. I have good intentions at this point and hoping to stay that way .....

I was told by my coach that I can have my meat at lunch but then should have my packet at dinner. You can flip flop it but I don't think it is recommended to have meat for both lunch AND dinner. You need to get those 3 packets in a day on Phase 1.

Wowsa. I agree with the others that this is really blurring the line and you will have to make it clear that you are not comfortable with his comments and he needs to stop or get reported. Good luck and I hope he keeps his trap shut (but yeah the compliment was nice!). The workplace makes it so awkward!

Welcome Pxlkitty, I love doing it and helping others. And before I forget, will you make us another spreadsheet after Halloween is done? I know you are busy but just when you have the time

I have already been to the Walden Farms site to get some salad dressings ordered. Any tips that helped you all when you first got started? And is the Mio water flavor okay for phase 1?

Yes, MIO is acceptable on Phase one, Good luck on your journey and make sure to keep us posted!

You can switch your protein to lunch anytime you like but only on occasion and have you packet for dinner. I have done that several times. You have been on the program to be able to eyeball what 2 cups of veggies look like and 8oz of meat. If you have a little more its ok, it won't hurt you that bad. Its better to have too much of what you can have than to have something totally not OP and blow it completely. When I go to my mom's its a 3 hour drive, I make sure I have some cut up veggies I can snack on along with plenty of water to drink and some gum (sugarfree). YOU CAN DO IT!! put your mind right and anything is possible!

That's AWESOME!!!! Congrats to you!!!

Good Morning Everyone,

Today is a new day! I am officially on day 9 of IP, loving the newfound energy. I 1st weigh in i lost 2 inches and gained a pound, but never mind, this energy alone makes the diet worth it, and i know my body has to give in eventually, i think its just being stubborn!

Its surprisingly gorgeous weather here in canada right now, we have been around + 15C all week so far, which i believe last year we already had snow on the ground!

Wishing you all the best today! We are overcomers!

That is awesome! You are doing great! Don't worry about your cousin, you can't control his actions. The best thing you can do is lead by example. When I saw my parents after my first loss, they told me how great I looked while they were drinking soda and eating candy!

[wuv2bloved]

Thanks everyone!!

I know I can only control me and that is why I am doing so well. I don't want food to control me anymore, I have the control now and know what I can and can't have, what is good for me and what is not. This has been a lifestyle change for sure but I am SOOOOO loving it!!! that is for sure
