Good morning. Have a fantastic OP day everyone, it's almost Friday!!:carrot:

drakegirl 08-02-2012 07:01 AM

Good morning IPeeps! Well the good news is my 16's are TOO BIG!!! The bad news is that now I have nothing to wear to work again... but that's okay - I guess it's time to hit Nordstrom Rack and hope to find stuff.
Happy OP Day all!

Lost...
 
drakegirl - Big congrats! Shopping for smaller clothes - what a drag ;) And fantastic excuse!

Questions : is anyone here on or done with Phase 3? I'm so lost...

I'm about to make my second breakfast on Phase 3 this morning and was wondering if I could get some feedback on it as I'm still super confused and unsure about how to handle this phase.

BREAKFAST YESTERDAY:
1 slice of bread: 35 cal 0 fat 8 carb 2 protein
1 hard-boiled egg: 78 cal 5.3 fat .5 carb 6.29 protein
Yogurt cup: 45 cal 2 fat 3 carb 5 protein
1 cup of strawberries: 53 cal .5 fat 12.75 carb 1.11 protein
1/2 IP vanilla pudding: 45 cal .5 fat 1 carb 9 protein
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
256 cal 8.3 fat 25.25 carb 21.6 protein

BREAKFAST TODAY:
1 slice of bread: 35 cal 0 fat 8 carb 2 protein
3.25 oz (6 tbsp) egg white: 50 cal 0 fat 0 carb 10 protein
1 oz neufchatel cheese 70 cal 6 fat 1 carb 2 protein
.5 cup of strawberries: 26.5 cal .25 fat 6.375 carb .555 protein
.5 cup of rhubarb 13 cal 0.12 fat 2.77 carb .55 protein
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------grand total: 194.5 cal 6.37 fat 18.145 carb 15.10 protein


I've fallen in love with mixing IP vanilla pudding packets with iced coffee in the morning, so used a half pack yesterday morning (since I noticed my protein levels were low anyway). Is this okay to do again today?

I still have an IP Crispy Cereal packet as well as an Omelet IP packet, can I use these at breakfast to supplement the rest of my meal?

Same goes for dinner... I have a ton of Chicken soup packets left, if I use one to cook with, should I still be getting my 8 oz. of meat protein with that meal?

I apologize for so many questions, just want to make sure I don't screw this up and backtrack!

Thanks, all. Have a great day!
Christine

Hi all. Day 4 here.

So far the structure of the program has been exactly what I was looking for. Smooth sailing. Let's hope I didn't just jinx myself!

Today's plan starts with a spinach/cappuccino shake. I'm gonna try to go in to my center to buy some different packets b/c IMHO I have too many sweets and not enough savories. I don't like the idea of sweet with veggies (unless I'm making pancakes/muffins, but I'm not always home to cook & it's just too doggone hot in St Louis to bake right now).

Congrats on too big clothes and Phase 3!

Have a 100% day everyone! ttyl

The structure is what's kept me on the program for 8 months. Just follow the rules, and the weight will come off! If I can stick to a program for this long w/o cheating anyone can!:)

Happy Thursday! Hope everyone has a little fun planned in their day!

An excuse to shop is NEVER bad news :) Congrats on the new size!!

Good luck! I just finished my first week and I totally agree, the way the program is structured makes it so easy to follow. The (few) people I know who were unsuccessful were really just closed-minded about making new food choices, there are SO many good ideas on these boards to keep things interesting and stay OP!

RE: Savory choices - have you tried the Fine Herb & Cheese omelette yet? It's one of my favorites and easy to doctor with additional seasonings and veggies for a big variety of non-sweet breakfasts!

Starting on 4th week....
 
Well the first 3 weeks on IP...finally got over the hunger for the most part and managed to stick it out the whole way through. Am down 19 lbs so I am pretty darn happy about it :) Sometimes I feel the urge to cheat, but manage to power through those urges.....it is tough though.

shathom 08-02-2012 08:50 AM

Good morning all, woke up feeling great after the tummy ache yesterday. This week seems to have flown by, and the month also, already August! Well for me here in FL, just waiting for Oct and some cooler weather. Ok IP buddies, I am shooting for 15 more lbs gone by my birthday next month (25 Sep), that will put me in onederland, what a glorious birthday present that will be. Keep the fingers crossed for me!

You might try posting on the maintainers thread as most of us on this thread are on phase one.

I know I can stick to it and it really has been easier than I thought!

Stick with it it becomes second nature and the rewards are gigantic !

You got this! I will be sending energy your way!

julied31 08-02-2012 09:17 AM

Hi, my name is Julie, and I'm an every day weigher...!! I'm on my 9th week, so I've been through fluctuations, but today I was 3 pounds higher than I was on Monday. I don't like it!! Hopefully it will whoosh right off. I was REALLY hungry yesterday, but didn't cheat at all. I know I shouldn't worry about it. Maybe I'll try not to weigh again until Sunday, which is my WI day....I doubt I can do it, though!!

This week has seemed so long....not sure why! So glad tomorrow's Friday!!

jennlnige 08-02-2012 09:18 AM

Happy Thursday to everyone!!!! Just got yesterdays daily thread caught up. There were some great losses!! :cp:

Now that one of my children are back in school, it might be a bigger test for me. I don't want to fall back to what I used to do when I got tired, which was stuff my face with whatever I could find. Yesterday when I got tired, that didn't even cross my mind. I just wanted to sleep, didn't feel like eating. When it was time for dinner, had to make myself make it and eat it. So while I'm glad I didn't have the urge to pig out, I'm afraid as the days go on, that urge might sneak back. And I have never been one of those who can just take a nap. Besides having kids to look after, I get really bad headaches when I take a nap.

I think the one thing that helps is knowing how well IP is working for me. I'm still loving that despite only having a 2.6 loss, I had a 4.2 loss of fat, and 1.6 gain of muscle. That muscle gain speaks volumes to me. I mean I can actually gain muscle without exercising, that's Awesome!!

Anyway, I'm rambling!!;)

I hope everyone has a great day!!
