Here is to hoping the Whoosh fairy visits everyone this week. It is gloomy here in MD too but I will create my own sunshine inside my office! Have a great week and make some good choices for those of us celebrating Mothers Day this week!
I had that several weeks including one stint for 3 weeks straight!! But, once the weight loss started up again it kept going and going. Hang in there!!
I've started adding spinach, WF Choc syrup, and choc stevia flavoring to my IP Chocolate shakes in a blender than chops it so fine I can't tell it's there other than the color. It's almost a complete meal...well, actually on IP it is.
That's awesome prettyone! You're such a great support for others too!! Congrats
Try to go a few days without the bars and drink lots of water, make IP shakes for meals with veggies in them. Also, go on a 1-2 hour walk. You may be retaining fluid, etc. and these things help to release it.
Start of another day - first WI tomorrow - am excited and hope I see results. My goal is to be down 4. Crazy busy at work for the next two weeks with weird hours, so that is going to be a bit of a challenge. I'm going to have to be creative. have a great day everyone!
Good luck on your first WI, I am guessing it should go well as the first week you usually drop a good number of pounds. Just do what I do one day at a time.
Good morning all!! Just reading everyone's posts and support for others; I love this site!!
Just getting up and getting ready for my day and I cannot start any day any more without coming here and reading all your posts! Does this mean I am addicted? lol
Just want to wish everyone well and that you all have great energy and will power to fight the food addiction demons! This is what I wish for myself as well; to stay 100% OP. Which so far I have. I am scared to death to slip or cheat; I really cannot be a failure again. I have struggled with weight my whole life and really cannot afford to do this anymore. It has become a matter of health and longevity and I really want to live fully!
Take care and bless you all!
It is a good, no, great addiction! No need to be scared, you are in control of everything that goes into your mouth. Stop the struggle here and now. Get thin and stay strong. We will all do it together.
Have a great day everyone. I am going to watch my triplets present their senior projects. Then it is the down hill slide to graduation.
I can't help but weigh myself every day. I think it keeps me on track for the day better, but anyone else weigh at home every day? Thoughts?
I was weighing myself everyday until it was suggested on here that I not do that. I do still break out the scale and weigh myself occasionally but I am going to try to stop that as well. I weighed myself yesterday and today and the scale said I went up .5 pound ... now I know I was 100% OP yesterday and I know that weight fluctuations are normal ... But honestly I have been SO cranky ever since seeing that. So for me the scale is going back away. It is a tough thing to do ... I know that my reasoning for checking at home is that Because I WI in the afternoon ... and because I am dressed and haven't been great about paying attention to what I wear on WI days the clothes are accounting for some of the loss (whether creating a larger loss or vice versa) and I want to eliminate that by weighing myself at home where that isn't a factor. BUT after the crankyness of today over what I KNOW is a minimal change I think it needs to end. For me anyway.

It's like breaking an addiction! I will give it a go. Maybe decrease to once in between weigh ins, but you're right, the other day I was up a pound and was totally bummed. Oh the relationship with that darn scale!
I found myself slipping on the EVOO so for the last couple days I have been making certain I get it by taking a shot of this stuff. All I have to say is BLAHH, it is much better to have it with some veggies and spices. Plain is just nasty and the water chaser is not doing it any favors.

You look beautiful. I like the new dress.
I will have to dig the blender out and try the spinach. I brought my omelet with me to work to cook up for lunch. It is my favorite.
