My grandfather passed away and I'm flying home tonight for the service this weekend. Since it is the weekend before payday, and the second time flying this week, I'm completely tapped out for funds. Completely.
I was trying to decide if skipping dinner altogether while traveling and eating only my IP snack was an option. I finally caved and ended up asking a coworker if I could borrow $10. She gave me $100 of her "fun money." No hesitation and all I was asking for was some cash for dinner at the airport.
This week has been a rollercoaster, and the people I work with are just fantastic people of support. I wanted to share that.

So sorry to hear about your grandfather. It's funny how we find angels when we need them right? Hope this weekend goes well and you find peace with your family.
Maybe some of you know this already, but yesterday I used the blueberry cran-Granata drink to make three large popsicles. Wow they were great and I could spread them out through the day. I really did not care for it as a drink but the frozen worked for me.
Have a great Friday everyone!!!!
You are doing so well with weight loss and attitude! I always think reorganizing other things in my life is fun and restful. Enjoy your down time, girl!
Afternoon all. I never got a chance to check back here yesterday (BOO!!), but my doctors appointment went well- she didn't see anything wrong with my Thyroid, but did blood work anyways.
Needless to say, as of yesterday I've started Phase 2. I think I'm getting too much soy which is making it enlarged (although its not visible) so we'll see. I can tell you that even after only doing it a DAY my issue has pretty much gone away.
Since I'm traveling soon I'm going to stay on Phase 2 for 3 weeks instead of the recommended 2. I don't see it being an issue, but I'll talk to my clinic about it on Monday.
And now for my victories: Yesterday I went shopping BY MYSELF and was shocked!! In 11 weeks I have gone from:
Size 14 -> 8/10
Bra size 38DD -> 36B
Shirts Large -> Small
I was blown away!!! Looking forward to seeing what the "final product" looks like when I'm officially done!
CONGRATS!! I'm looking forward to going from 10 to 8 too! way to go!
Quick checkin before I go back to the lab...WI#19 and I am down another 3lb and 0.53%, made it to my original 'official' goal of 150lb! I am going out of town next week (and so is my coach), so we talked and I am going to stay on Phase 1 for the next 2 weeks until my next WI, then revisit whether to go to Phase 2 or not - depending on my body fat percentage. Back to the lab...have a great Friday The 13th!
Way to go! Your weight loss is amazing! I had my week 4 WI and I gained a pound!? I am 100% OP and I gained. You always have good solid losses....what is your secret?? I way soo much more, I would think those with bigger numbers would loss faster than you.
I hope this doesn't sound jealous - but I am envious. Just wish my journey looked more like yours.

You have done amazing! I really want to start exercising but I am so scared it will affect my weight loss. I know you have put up your meal schedule before but I cannot find it. Would you mind posting it again? I would really love to have something to go by and see if it works for me. You are truly an inspiration!

I think this is pretty common around the 4th - 5th week. If you stay OP it will go down. Just keep moving forward!
My 20th week WI today was not much change. Lost 0 pounds and .75 inches. My coach and I decided I should go on phase 3 for the next few weeks for my surgery on Wednesday the 18th. I will not weigh in again until the 27th and then I will go back on phase 1 to get my body fat % down to under 30%. I was at 33.7% today. Almost there. My phase 3 breakfast when I got home was amazing. I had 2 slices of turkey bacon, whole wheat english muffin with WF orange marmalade, banana, and greek yogurt. OMG it was wonderful!!! I updated my picture with my 20 weeks photo taken today.
