haha... I never work too hard!!

hahaha....I know, I am suppose to be working on my schedules but I am watching the game instead....lol.....work can wait...haha

GO BILLS! It's a white-out in Buffalo and a beautiful day.

I have taken my stove apart ( I have a big viking, so the parts are heavy) and cleaned it and the hood. Did sheets and 2 other loads of laundry. Watching Football for a bit and then crafting. Life is Good! :)

Life is GREAT!!!....we are all ALIVE and THINNER!!!...WOOHOO!!!!!!!

Well I am listening to this HORRIBLE game between Seattle and Dallas.... I hate Field goal games....

Me too, Jelly! Man up and make some touchdowns!!! lol

Girl, Yesterday the game between LSU and BAMA was ALL about field goals and even went into OVERTIME. LSU won by a Field goal....it was a great game!!....Today the Saints Kicker hits the freaking field goal POLE!!!!!...I am like really??? how many feet between the poles and you hit that pole....geeze!!!.....BUT we are winning now so its all good.....lol.....I found a straightener I had so I did it today....haha

Well, back in the 90's when the Bills had opportunity to win a Super Bowl, it was a missed field goal that cost them that priviledge. Scott (Scud- Norwide) missed it. To think I sat in the snow, freezing rain and several cases of Bronchitis for years (season tickets) and they blew it on a field goal. Well, enough whining about the past and onward.

Did you like it?? Did it make it silky smooth??

WUV, you are looking fabulous! Keep up the good work!


NSV today... I managed to eat a salad and it only took 45 minutes! It's progress as sore as my mouth has been!

Had an awesome weekend w my nephew. Had an awesome weiner roast. Got through temptations! It was hard, I haven't had too many challenges like that. It's just me and my hubby and my dog. But with a kid around :) Looking foward to my weigh n Tuesday and a long weekend this week. Yahoo!! 11-11-11 :)

Yes, but not as smooth as you do yours, this is an old one and it doesn't get as hot as it used too. I have to get another one.

Thanks, I hope your mouth heals soon so that you can eat again. 45 mins to eat a salad but at least you got that, no one can tell you to eat slowly that is for sure :)

Sounds like you had a great weekend and enjoy the roast and succeeded to not giving in to the temptations....so yes I would say it was a good weekend for you :)

Wuv, you just inspired my Aunt.........and I have been trying to help her for soooooo long. Thanks for being that change agent for her, when I am hoping she can get her health and happiness back........thx thx thx thx thx thx.....:D

I DID???.....well you are welcome :) hearing how good this program works is one thing but to actually SEE how good it works is amazing!! that is why I don't mind posting my pics. Do I like seeing that before pic???....NOOOOOOO but it is who I was and will no longer be ever again!!

Wuv, the change is amazing! Awesome! Looking at your progress gives me resolution to send my temptations away.

Find a picture of yourself BEFORE you started and take one NOW and I can almost promise you will see a difference. This is why I am so determined and not let temptations get to me....I want this!!

Happy Sunday !
Life is good... even though I missed a weigh in due to the storms in CT, I tried on a pair of pants and guess what??? ...... yes they fit wonderfully. Bought them last year and they were tight - Yeah!!!

I have tried to find a recipe for the jello. I am still on phase I - can anyone suggest a recipe?

Thanks!

And what is amazing is what a short time ago the first picture was taken.:bravo:

Pat

Just checking in to say "hi" - on maintenance 10 days now, feeling great and have started working out. Boy it is hard to get going, but it felt good to finally start working out after 3 years of doing nothing :)

Wow Wuv you look GREAT!!!
What an inspiration to us newbies.
I'm with you Jelly, stuck at work all day. UGGH! Somedays I'd rather not.
Hey, I was wondering if your body goes into starvation mode, does that kick you out of ketosis? Its just that I hear SO many people on here mention not being hungry and having to force themselves to get in all their food, yet I still fight being hungry all day every day. I even got that Gymneva (sp?) to help with cravings, and no dice. I was just wondering if anyone thought it possible that if my body were going in and out of starvation mode and kicking out of ketosis, if that could be a culprit of my constant hunger? Its not that I ate huge portions before. (they were just bad food)
Any thoughts?

Wohooo! I've got a ticker!
Wuv, I was looking through my pics and can't find any full body over the last 5 years! Every time someone would take one of me, I would get rid of it(utilizing my great denial skills/get rid of the evidence-then it does not exists lol). And my face pictures are all at weird angles to serve the denial process. Need to raid my friend albums to unearth one before IP, it is a great motivator!

Deshenka - congrats on the signature, I was excited to get mine too! I put some before and after shots in my signature to show my 30 pounds :) - not much of an accomplishment compared to lots of people here, but what a change it has made in my life!

The before one I have and the ONLY one I have is because my brother took it when I wasn't looking.....I hated full body shots! I would always take the pics so I didn't see myself I guess...lol...I am sure your friends will have one for you :)

Congrats on the 30lbs that is a big accomplishment. Everyone has different goals that is why when we share our progress people can see that is works for EVERYONE not just some!! :)

Wuv, you look gorgeous in that photo, I can't wait to see more progress photos :)

I have a question for the expert IP'ers.... can I cook my steak on the stove or does that count as frying? It's cold out and I don't want to use the BBQ if I don't have to!

thanks! :)

OMB Wuv, what a transformation...... You are amazing- the poster child for what ideal protein can do for a person that sticks to the program- just beautiful.WOW.

Wuv - that shirt and the color is absolutely beautiful on you. Thanks for posting your changes. It's fun putting faces to the names. Maybe someday I'll get brave.

And, I can hardly wait to have a ticker too. Then I'll feel all grown up. LOL

BCGirl, 30 lbs is huge! It is almost 20%of your starting weight! It's like 52 for me! And what a difference in the pics too. Of course, I would take the "starting shot" any day, but it is all relative. I hope to be there too one day! Way to go!

Dashenka, that's so nice of you, it's amazing how much anyone (regardless of weight) could learn from an eating plan/site like this. I was lucky to have a sister who struggled with her weight her whole life lose 45 pounds with this system, and I just copied her and caught my weight gain (it crept up for the last 3 years) and was able to get on track. She is a coach for the system I used and has been inspirational to me!

I see you're down 16 already, that's fabulous - how do you feel?

I'm no "expert IP'er" but I do my steak on top of the stove all the time. I use my olive oil, sea salt and some garlic. If I have other plans for my olive oil that day, I cook in a non stick pan with some Pam spray.
