Forgive me "PEEPS"...for I have sinned!http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/images/smiles/
Great, great news here IPeeps! Way to go! (WUV, coming soon to a clinic near you....!) Cadu, sounds like your "friend" may not ralize that SHE is the one with the weight issue!!!!
I am really proud of all of you!!!!!!!
I have had a CRAZY last week of school. I had a cheat one night, three potatoe chips.....YIKES. I really do not know what happened. No excuses...just happened and I stopped myself and went to bed. (It was like a nervous reaction to everything I had to do for school......weird. Almost like an out of body experience...knew it was happening, but did not plan it.)
Also, I just had my second serving of eggplant this week. I am a brat!
I think that I may have been skipping veges and lettuce this week. Tooooooo busy to write everything down, feel good, look good....just going along like I wrote the diet!!!! From this moment on I am going to act like a brand newbie. I have 10 weeks of summer and I REALLY want to do this!!!!
As usual, you all inspire me!!!

Wow, it looks like I have missed alot of good news on here while I was at work! Congratulations Tripmama on a great loss! And to all the rest of you that had good WIs!! Wuv, I knew in my heart that this opportunity was written in the stars for you! Hope it works out well for you and is the beginning of a new career for you--helping people--and getting paid for it!
This has been a busy week, lots of overtime, and I don't have a day off until next Thursday--which also happens to be my next WI and birthday #50! I really wanted to be under 200 lbs by then, but I don't think it is possible for me to lose 9 lbs by then. I will stay OP and keep chuggin' along.
Weigh in #4 yesterday was awesome.... Another 4.4lbs & 2.75 inches GONE!!!
Whoo hoo! Great WI!

I love your attitude! You inspire me! Great job on continuing to lose and here's to an even better WI next week!
Cadu, I agree...I smell jealousy. You are gorgeous...hide nothing! You have every reason to be proud of yourself and should never hand over your personal power by letting someone else change how you are feeling about you. Their opinion simply doesn't matter especially when it is a negative one.
Cadu - I agree with everyone, and Meadow put it very nicely!!! You are beautiful and she's just jealous!! Be proud of how far you've come, we are all proud of you as well!!!
I'm in my 7th week and found out today about the week 7 blues. I am having a hard day, for no good reason. I've been staying on track, but today was harder to do so. I feel bloated and fat today, NOT ONE person has said Ilook good/different etc, i would love DH to compliment me once in a while, and the friggin scale has not hardly moved in 2 weeks!!! I am hanging in there, but i thik its just built up frustrations and all will be well tomorrow! Now I will stop feeling sorrynfornmyself and get a life!! Who cares if people notice? Who cares what people say?? I CARE and that's what matters!
Mother in law making Fathers Day supper on Sunday and she's very supportive she just texted me to ask what i can and cannot have, so that will be a nice day without cooking. I will make sure to pack extra veggies, just in case and a RTD as well. You just never know! What are your Fathers Day weekend plans?

Hang in there MOMPATTIE.....YOU are doing great!!!!! Look at how well you are doing!!!! You are soooooo doing this! I feel like you do...especially when I am really over- tired.....keep an eye on your sleep! I am sending positive energy and vibes your way!!!!!
So I went to visit my old boss who is also like a friend to me who I havent seen since I started IP (she quite a bit overweight) and she could not believe I lost the weight. She was yelling "OMG look at you, you look great" then out of the blue she said " oh you need to work on your arms, they are flabby" I was like WAIT, WHAT? I was kinda hiding my arms the rest of the day.
sheesh they pump ya up then smack ya down.
Ooh that green eyed monster was alive and kicking, she is a little (or a lot) fluffy and you are a lean mean fighting machine, don't let her get you down, you're looking good and she knows it, strut your stuff girlfriend
[QUOTE=[B]Darralyn[/B];4372705]
You crack me up; I would love to hang out with you; you'd have me rolling on the floor I am sure!
Darralyn, I bet we would be great friends, we would probably stay in trouble
Friday's here and I'm feeling better than I have all week. Amazing how the prospect of a weekend can do that! Happy to report that I'm still OP despite the struggles over the last couple of days. Hope everyone has a wonderful night and weekend ahead.
Hang in there Mom! I too am having some slow weeks, into my third now but i just keep remembering who im doing this for (me), and keep plugging along...if i get real down with thoughts of quitting i have a couple 'special' pics on my phone of me in a swimming suit....pure motivation lol
Thanks guys for your support and encouragement! I'm doing better this evening, a quick trip to the grocery store for Romaine and put all the gross crap in the bakery section into perspective again. I didn't have a hard time going by it - its what has made me fat. As Ishbel says, if you go back to eating what you did, you will go back to being what you were. I WILL NOT QUIT UNTIL THIS IS DONE!!! And we need each other to pull us up and remind us we're not alone! Thanks for everyone, for all the posts to keep me going and just in general making this board such a support!! Today I needed you and I hope to be here for you when you need me. HUGS and Thank you.
Cadu, it sounds like to me she was looking for something negative in your happy space....most people will point out something negative on someone else that they dislike in themselves....like Longhorn says....punch her lol.
Mompattie....one day, one hour and sometimes one minute at a time...could be a hormonal release, fat has a lot of estrogen. Put the VIP through the wringer for a few weeks before I decided it HAD to be the diet...chin up grasshoppah!
********
So went to a workshop today and got to meet one of the top dawgs in Canada, got to ask some questions... it was a good day!
We are just having so much fun.....lol....I just got an email from my coach, she wants me to call her Monday, she wants to start using me at the clinic and to help build up the clinic, this is pretty exciting for me.
Lisa, what a great opportunity. I hope it works out for both you and your clinic. A win win situation.

Why can't people just say you look great and then just leave it there? Oh well consider the source.

I learned early on in IP, don't wait for others to compliment you on your weight loss. Just keep on keeping on and one day the whole world will notice you've lost half of yourself. Most people are just too polite to say anything even though you really wish they would and people like family see us all the time, so it may not be as noticeable to them for awhile. For the longest time I only got, "Your face looks thinner." Boy I got tired of hearing that. The scale will move again and one day your husband will turn to you and say out of the blue, "I'm so proud of you for all of your hard work."
..................................
I'm off to San Francisco in the the morning (Just noticed it's already 1am, better hurry and get at least a couple of hours of sleep) for a long weekend to visit family and some friends. Hope everyone has a good couple of days and as always..... stay 100%. Bye!

Hang in there. It will pass. These kind of days happen to all of us. you know that you are doing an amazing job, the heck with what others say or dont say. even the scale for that matter.
I remember early on when I lost about 20 pounds having to constantly ask DH "so, dont I look skinnier", "can ya tell I lost weight". and he would answer the same every time "yea you look great. (looking back, I must admit that I was annoying) but now after losing 50... he offers up the compliments on his own.
Sometimes we hit a point where we get blue but I promise that it does pass and when it passes and you stayed on program you feel that much better.
Good morning Ipeeps! Off to WI 11...a little nervous as I did a week of phase two this week but I'm hoping to have lost enough to hit that next decade before I add in carbs again next week. I know the glycogen stores will pop me out of it but I know that isn't fat so it would just feel good to visit the 220's before I pause my journey. I sat down to make a grocery list for next week...nervous and overwhelmed by phase 3 - I thought I was looking forward to it and now it's here and I just want to eat a bar for breakfast! Ha!
You all are doing great with great losses, NSV's, and support. I love having a "home" here and it uplifts me every day. Thanks for being "you" to all of you!
Forgive me "PEEPS"...for I have sinned!http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/images/smiles/
Good luck with the packing.
it was a good day!
