Wuv - read about your dinner date on yesterday's chat...
You Go Girl! All I kept thinking was I bet Wuv couldn't stop smiling....on...a...DATE!!!! Next time you will have go dancing too! :dance: |
Hi ladies and gents,
Good Morning from Canada! Thought I would pop on and say hi and see how everyone is doing. Ive been on IP for just 9 days now happy to say that at my first WI this week I was already down 2 pounds, its not a huge number but its a loss anyhow. :) I have my first challenging day coming up tomorrow, christmas get together with my boyfriends family. Really hoping I can resist the temptations that will be all around and stick with the plan. Wish me luck lol. Well I hope everyone is having a fantastic day, better get back to work :) Make it a great day! Jennifer |
Good Morning and Happy Friday!
I'm on day 3 of IP and feel pretty good. I notice I'm quite hungry first thing in the morning and between lunch and dinner. My coach has me taking 4 IP packets the first week only (the extra packet between breakfast and lunch -which I need). It's actually real hunger though, not just eating because it's time, which is nice. Today I'm holiday shopping with my 18 yr old son so I'll pack my lunch and bring water. So far so good! PS To Wuv.....I liked that post about your date. Congrats! You seem like such a caring person, (and you look amazing) I'm sure more dates are in your future! xx Pam |
Good morning, everyone!! Had my WI yesterday and I'm down another pound and about 2 inches. I was hoping for more, but I've been having trouble with the big C recently. My coach said that I need to start taking a stool softener in the mornings, that all the protein is causing it. She suggested Senekot...any thoughts?
Busy weekend ahead with a Christmas party and Mardi Gras ball pictures. My two sons are junior dukes in a ball for the Krewe that my parents belong to. That ought to be funny! Hope you all have a great OP weekend!! :) |
TGIF everyone!
Feeling much better but tired :( was at work at 7:30 yesterday and today and i'm working tomorrow and sunday we have a work kids christmas party so no time to rest for me! Changed the battery of my scale yesterday and i'm not liking the new numbers its giving me, liked it better when it was almost dead, lol. Quote:
Have a great OP day! |
rbtemplet,
I deal with this problem occasionally (before IP) and my coach gave me an IP supplement called Novalax (I'm not home so I can't see the bottle at the moment). He said to take 1 in evening starting the 3rd day. I have used Senekot in the past. Gentle, just to "get things going". Sometimes it takes a few doses. Drink with lots of water. I usually take in evening though. Good luck and congrats on your losses! |
rbtemplet,
My coach recommended Miralax. She said that you can have it every day to keep things going. It's a powder that mixes in to liquid. My husband's elderly aunt used to use it, but I've switched her to the Senokot because it's a bit more effective. She's 90 and is basically bed-bound. |

Good Luck finding the combination that works for you! |
Thanks, everyone! I have never had this problem before, except after my 2nd child was born and that was only a one-time thing. I will try the probiotics I think while on this plan.
Thanks again!! |
Hi everyone, I'm just starting my fifth week, and my period is just around the corner...I can't stop thinking of food. I'm counting down until my next meal... Does anyone else get "hungrier" during their period time??? (I'm not going to cheat but seriously, I can't wait for dinner!!!) And I usually don't think about food at all...

Good Friday Everyone, I weighed in at home this morning as my coach as the flu and it showed -6.2 :D:D:D I am too scared to "take" that number, as I have never compared my scale with my coaches'. Must have been all that Christmas shopping I have done in the last week, walking the miles LOL.
By the way, saw my SIS (Yvetteski) and she looks AMAZING!! This weekend is jam-packed again and I have sure missed reading the site. |
