Hi, Can I join in on this thread??

Wuv, I agree with everyone else. I love reading your posts. You are so motivating, inspiring and you tell it like it is. I like you. haha

Oh BTW I am 100% OP every single second of every single day.

HAHA!! you are so right girl!!!!

For everyone that wished me luck tonight in Vol 9 I thank you from the bottom of my heart :cloud9::cloud9:

Smooches!

i am so excited for you!!! you are going to be AWESOME and i know this because JUST LOOK AT THAT SMILE ON YOUR FACE!!! :D:D:D:D your enthusiasm will just jump off your face and infect everyone!! :dance: keep doing that happy dance!!! woooohooo!!! :dance:

Thank you Rainbow, your excitement is infectious! Thank your for pumping my ego, :dance: happy dance, :dance: happy dance :D

BTW, I made the crispy cereal pancakes for the first time yesterday morning and they were AWESOME! I spread WF strawberry jam on top. yum :hun: like one of the hosts on QVC (David Venable) says, yum yum give me some!!

No WI for me today. We're on our way to North Louisiana for a few days.

A few weeks ago both my DH & I had our annual physicals. As I become more comfortable telling him what I actually weigh, I finally asked him what he weighed. He told me 208.4 and I said "I am going to catch you soon!" He chuckled and said that I would scream right by him.

Well, last week I was in a funk and asked him for a favor. He said sure thing.....my favor was to get him to eat all the ice cream we had in the house so he would weigh more than me. I told you I was in a funk. :devil: He laughed and said well I weigh 201 now - unbeknownst to me, DH has been riding my recumbent bike nearly every day since his physical. It will be even harder to catch a moving target.....although I could try hitting the moving target. ;)

This morning as I was cleaning up the kitchen, he wandered in from the garage and reported that this morning he was at 199.8. I have to admit I said a bad word and told him to go back to the garage. :rollpin:

I shouldn't have told him to weigh only in the morning......but I have now told him that his weight is only official if he is holding a cat, preferably all 3, while he steps on the scale. :rofl:

That just made me LOL!!!! :lol: My DH is the same way, he just has to think about losing weight and it starts coming off.

shathom - I can't wait to her how excited you made everyone at your clinic's seminar! Flash that pretty smile and share your great success story and I imagine that everyone will sign right up.


New Path - :hug:

And my news is that I lost another 2 pounds at WI #5 today!! Hooray! Another 2 pounds gone forever! Hooray for another 100% week!:carrot::carrot:

Yay, Louisiana girls!!! :)

How far north? Where are you off to?

GOOD LUCK DARLING!!!


Julie- You and your family will most certainly be in my prayers, I hope that faith can guide you through this rough patch...


Sooooo im pretty scared about my WI tomorrow... I have my own scale at home and it usually about 8 lbs less than my weigh in... and if this is all true I will definitely have gained this week... I have done nothing different, stayed 100% OP... all I can think of is maybe the steroids they put me on for the pneumonia made me retain a little.... Well Im really praying for a loss tomorrow... Hope you all have had a great start to your week!

Shreveport. We usually spend a few days up here each summer. My sister lives here.

Yeah... Exciting and scary at the same time!

That will be so good to know and will give you info to plan ahead.

I know how you feel, I lost 70 pounds in total, not nearly as much as you did but I'd like to know how much of the deflated tire around my middle is loose skin and how much is actually fat.
It will be so good for you to have some definite answers.

Your ticker is tantalizingly close to goal!

Pat

Be excited too! I'm sure the doctor will be impressed by your story.
Love your new avatar. You are beaming! :D

I have been through many changes in medicine since I started IP. Some did cause me to retain water and I did have a few times where I went up a little. Once my body got used to the new pill or the medicine worked its way out of my system the scale started moving down again. Keep the faith!

Good luck, Wuv. I have seen some of those surgeries on TV and it really makes a difference. You deserve it!

Yay!
 

Good news for me finally. The whoosh fairy visited me at WI today. I lost 3.5 pounds! Eliminating the restricteds and higher carb veggies really helped.

Plus I find out I misread the fats per day.... I though it was 1 - 2 tablespoons per day. Not teaspoons. Oops! So reducing my fats probably helped too.

Plus, I hit 31 for BMI, And my coach said I may be better at 135 instead of 130. So I am going to set my goal at 25 BMI and see what the weight will be.

Overall, super excited.
Treated myself to a new outfit at Chicos, and bought size 1 in a pair of white pants, tank and and a bright red shirt....all size 1 (about size 8-10 in regular sizes).
:D:D:D

Oooooo how exciting!!!! Don't be scared, be proud of that skin, but proud to let that skin go and start a new chapter!!! You've earned this joy!!!

Good for you! I think this is very exciting for you!

Wuv, that is awesome, you have done such an amazing job! :D

Sewingmama, I sent you a pm, but you probably left on your trip already.

Hi everyone! Miss catching up with y'all but I'm off on my trip with my friend who has been doing IP with me. We are having a great time shopping, sightseeing, beach time and yes...eating too. I will be paying the price when I get back home, but we are walking a lot and having a great time. As soon as the airplane wheels touch down in Austin next Saturday night it's back to phase 1 until at least my next and last trip of the summer.

Hope everyone has a good week.

Wuv: good for you! My sister had lapband surgery and lost 140lbs, she hasn't gotten an eval for plastic surgery but talks about it alot, as if it's the "final step." I hope you found a great doctor who will understand and respect your awesome accomplishments!

Way to go! Awesome to shop and buy yourself a new treat for the progress!

have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thinking about you :)

Excellent! Congrats! My friends got all my Chico's size 3s! Wiped out my closet and am slowing rebuilding! Enjoy! Going to see where my BMI is on Thursday and adjust accordingly..

Have a great day all!

Wow! What a great day you had! Your outfit at Chicos sounds like the perfect reward for your hard work. Keep staying OP, Cindy, you're almost there!

Good morning all, I did my speach last night at the clinic and I was so nervous! I have to give briefs for my job all the time and I'm fine, this however made me nervous. The audience however was so supportive and kept clapping while I was talking about what IP has done for me so I calmed down in no time :cp:. Afterwards there were 16 people that went to the counter to either sign up or ask additional questions :D. I am so proud of what I've accomplished so far being 100% IP, can't wait to see what is coming in the future!

Smooches!

You are awesome!!!! Spread that joy, it's infectious!

Another 100% OP day coming right up!!! My first mini goal was to lose 40 by my 40th BD in Aug....I'm one pound away!!! In July!!! Yes!!!!! Love IP!! Gotta stay clean and 100%!!

That is awesome Shathom! That has to be a great feeling!

woohoo, don't be nervous, you are going to look marvelous after you have the surgery;)

That's great! I'm sure your enthusiasm for the program came across loud and clear to the audience. Your story is exactly what they want for themselves, so no wonder they wanted to join the journey! :bravo:

Hi all,

Haven't posted in a while since I was on vacation with my family. IT IS POSSIBLE to stay 100% OP while on vacation. My family was impressed with my determination and vowed to follow suit when they got home. I did most if not all of the cooking and they really enjoyed the different ways to eat veggies and protein. The only thing I slacked on was my water intake as we were at the beach and running after 6 kids.

small tip: we were at the beach during lunch one day and I forgot the salad and veggies in the fridge. Of course, the beach bar only had iceberg lettuce, but I did notice they made philly cheese steaks... so I asked for the peppers (red & green) cut up raw as my alternative. It was delicious and I stayed OP :)

As of today I'm 2 lbs from my original goal of 150 but I'm changing it to 145 and then reasses again.

Thank you for this forum of positive vibes that keeps me going. :)

Yay wuv, i know its scary but super exciting :) The hardest part for me was the pictures..which i did not ask to see, lol.
