I agree! Love it!

I too am phasing out, I haven't been able to get lower than 148 and usually am up the next week. I am not going to start weighing myself everyday, so with my coach I have decided to phase out, will start phase 3 tomorrow. 1/2 cup greek yogurt, 1 cup berries, 1 piece of toast with peanut butter and maybe 1/3 cup of granola... can't decide. but that is what I am going for...easy to make at work as there is a toaster there. My next weigh in will be the 21 as my coach is getting married and will be away. So hopefully my body likes phasing off because I love where I am and don't want to go up too much.

Will let you know tomorrow how it goes. Have a great night.

Good luck with 3 today! (Wish I was at 148.;))

Thank you so much!

So today I was back up to about where I was on Saturday! No good. I am less sore today but still a little "tender". I got up early again and did the exercises but didn't even try to do anything from the floor in fear of hurting the already sore tailbone. I have had some C issues the past few days so if I can get rid of "that" I think I will be ok come Thursday.

Thanks for the positive comments on my photos.

Thanks!

I miss seeing Jordana and the others too, I did check her blog (jordana's) and noticed she is still going strong. :)

Well today I have my 16th weigh in!!! crazy how fast time goes by. never thought a size 6 would be big on me, I used to wear my 12s to work sometimes with the top botton unbottoned after lunch!:o If I see the 130s on the scale today I might just cry tears of joy.

I just weighed in on Thursday, so I hope there is at least some progress on the scale... i felt thinner today. For those with "C" issues I have been drinking Super Dieter's Tea one cup a day more consistently than I was in the past and it has helped soften and helped me go more frequently.

So I am getting the new chocolate chip cookie product today! woohoo!:cookie::cookie: Sandy, you said they are yumo, Is it going to be like the bars...I am going to want more and more? :?:

darn I forgot to ask about the cookies, oh well, since I only use them now for snacks that would have fit the bill. Am so happy to be on phase 3, had my toast and pb and yogurt and fruit and am sooo full. hard to imagine after having a drink for 9 months for breakfast to have something different. Kind of a pain planning though, now I have to plan for all three meals and I am not really a planner, kind of a go by the seat of my pants... did buy a few things so I can have options, may just do a blended yogurt drink this weekend as I am at a dog trial both days... and I was so looking forward to poached eggs and toast, next weekend will do. My coach barely had time for me yesterday she is so excited she is getting married this weekend so work is the last thing she is thinking about. So I won't weigh in next monday, which since I already have a busy day booked won't bother me, so my next wi will be 21st. Will be interesting to see what and if I gain in phase 3 because that will be the end of my two weeks and I can then start maintenance... which will be nice, I know I am still going to be picky at what I eat, but will have more options. Went out the other night with a friend for supper at Red Robin and had a grilled chicken in lettuce it was sooo good, and my friend had a burger with fries and dessert and all I could think of was wow wonder how many calories are in that mud pie, at least 600 and then fries and burger... oh my that is enough for two days for me... to truly is funny how we think different after being on a strict diet like IP isn't it?
Lyndsey forgot to say your pictures are lovely and your family look so sweet together.

Jenny - nice dress.

Let me know if you decide to, and I will do the same. Although you will have to tell me how! ;)

Thanks for the compliments ladies!

Had my official WI today since I am going to be traveling and won't be around tomorrow. Down another 1.2#, which is great! I guess it took my body a little bit of time to adjust to the food differences of P2, but then it adjusted itself.

I think my body, in general, is adjusting itself. Even though there is only a pound difference from last week, my inches are still changing. There is definitely some "shifting" going on.

I am on P2 for another week, maybe 2, depending on where I am with my weight. Either way, by 11/23 I will be in P3.

Lalison, hi. I hope today's breakfast is everything you dreamed. And more. :D And best of luck with the move.

Moving abroad for a year is a BIG move but awfully exciting, too. A word of advice? Take enough personal care stuff and a good Korean or Okinawan cookbook in English that uses local ingredients. And seasonings you particularly like. If your in doubt about whether or not to take something and think you might want it, check to see if YesAsia ships it. It's a LOT cheaper to pay an airline for 2 extra bags that to ship. Hope this helps. :hug:

And 2Ride, I'm trying to figure out if your tomorrow is my today. Quite early Wednesday here. Regardless, enjoy your breakfast for all of us, OK? Oops, should have read further. Soooo, how was it?

Cookies are yum!
 

The cookies are big and delicious, a real treat~

I've had a horrible morning ladies. It started with the scale being up to 155.8. Yeah, Monday I was 154.4! Tomorrow is weigh in day! Then I checked my phone and had a message from my sister about watching my girls and wanting me to pay her more. Long story I won't get into. Then my hubby and I tried talking about the sister thing which turned into a big fight and he's not returning my messages. Then I spilled my coffee all over myself and forgot my morning shake and had to go back home before I could come to work. I'm thinking about asking to change my hours so I can just bring my girls to school myself but I don't know if that's the right thing to do either. I'm a ball of nerves and mostly just want to go back to bed. So how's your day going? Better I hope!

:hug::hug::hug:

I think my day is going better than yours--though it is just a little after 8am, I'm optimistic.
