About the meringues, how many egg whites did you use, and did you use actual egg whites, or the ones from the carton? I think my problem was the flavor from the packet was SO diluted because there were SO many egg whites. I could have used any mix and wouldn't have been able to tell the difference because they tasted like nothing. I might have to try again at some point, I really wanted to love them!!
I combined and split the difference between 2 IP meringue recipes that I had seen and did 1c all whites, 1/2c trivia, 3/8t cream of tarter, salt – 3 dashes in made 3 whole pan fulls so I had a ton left...
Good morning all! Navymommy- congrats on winning! YEH!!
Wuv- Yeh! A new bike! I am going to get my newer bike out of the garage this spring and ride with my daughter. I didn't last year due to my weight, no energy. This year is a new beginning!
I have work all day, then a late meeting. I packed my lunch and dinner and I am set to go! Have a great day everyone!
Congratulations, NavyMom, on winning!! That's awesome :-)
I have my first official weigh-in tomorrow. I am both excited and nervous, but I've been weighing myself at home, so I know I will see a loss.
Not feeling well at all today. I'm feeling really sick to my stomach and exhausted. I've followed the Ideal Protein plan 100% for the past six days. Just though I would feel better by now. Oh well.. going to push through today and see what tomorrow brings.
Congratulations NavyMommy!!! I am so happy for you!!!
I made the meringues last night. I took a pkg of Peach Mango Kool-Aid and mixed it in and man were they awesome!! I love Peach Mango, so they really hit the spot last night when I wanted something sweet and I didn't really want piece of gum. I just put the rest in a ziploc baggie and now I have a treat for a couple of days.
Ok I just have to know what kind of gum that you chew becouse I have not found any without Carbs and I miss chewing gum?

I use the Extra (apple pie and orange dreamcicle) which has 2g of carbs, Orbit which has 1 g of carbs or React gum which again has 2g of carbs and contains aspertame. I only chew it when I am craving something sweet. It does contain aspertame, but it has not affected me being in ketosis or my weightloss any. Now if you chew the whole pack in a day it might do something, but I usually only have 1-2 pieces a day and I will chew a piece until my jaws hurt. I usually don't chew it everyday. It does really help with the sweets craving that I get everyone in awhile.
Congrats Navymommy! WI yesterday, down 2.25, my sister's wedding coming on 4/28! Got to stay motivated, this site is a huge help. Love reading all the success stories. Been trying 11 years to get this baby weight off, finally something is working! The $$$ is concerning me, especially since my first daughter of 4 is in her 1st year of college. But I figure I have to take care of myself too. I'm just going to ask for IP foods for my Birthday!!!

Oh that is so great! Good for you and that will make all the differance.
Kelly--Hope your weigh in goes great for you. It is wonderful to see the scale numbers dropping!
Yay for all of the cycling enthusiasts! I can't wait for it to warm up so I can get out and ride. I have a recumbent and a mountain bike which I love to ride. It beats walking!!
My WI#5 is tomorrow. A day early in the week for me, but I'm expecting good things!
