Well I feel the need to get this out, I had my first WI on Tuesday (great, down 9 lbs and 2 inches) and saw my bff that night. She's normally really critical of me and dieting and i decided to just not tell her.....i spent the night with her and ate a normal dinner meaning NOT phase 1 and had a glass of wine.
BIG HUGE MISTAKE. I had the worst chills EVER. I felt terrible, I will not do that again, I learned my lesson. I know it takes time to claw back from that, and I knew that going into it. I am just writing it off as a learning experience to how i would feel and how much i hated it. No thanks, no cheats until this weight comes off. Holy cripes!!!!!!
Yesterday I was 100% and will be. And the funny thing, when i pulled out my RTD shakes she was so supportive and even told me the famous chef she works for is on them too!!!
So I started the IP program one week ago today, I had my one week weigh in yesterday, and I've lost 7lbs. Apparently I have also lost 19 inches. I had measured myself the first week, and went home and measured myself again and I came up with 12 1/2" (30cm). This seems far more realistic to me, not sure where the difference came from but I am happy none the less! Looking forward to checking out more of this site, I've already learned a lot!
Hope everyone is feeling fantastic, and good luck to all!
I am feeling much better than I was 2 days ago. I am also feeling very hungry since I havent been eating right the last 2 days.
I am not going to indulge, I am going to just continue on the plan like normal and fight off the hunger.
Nothing real important to report. Other than maybe watching this hurricane coming to see what it's going to do. I sure dont feel like packing up and leaving the house, but I am not going to stay home and risk being without electricity. My hubby said he needs a weeks vacation. LOL
hope everyone has a great day!!
Congrats to all the losers and good luck to those weighing in.
My BF comes home wednesday I told him stay away maybe the hurricane will too....lol....he said wow I see how important I am to you.....lol....anyways ....
Huge NSV happening right now. im flying today to see family, and as i write this i am comfortably seated in my airplane seat with my legs cross legged. i didn't realize it at first but then i was whoa...I've never done this before. what a great feeling to start my 4 day weekend!!
Yay you!I flew just a few weeks ago and the seatbelt didn't fit me on a couple of the planes - that was really awful, so I know what a great NSV this is - and will be for me too on my next trip!

This goes for all the newbies out there reading the daily posts. DON'T CHEAT!!!
The first thing my coach said to me was Don't Cheat. I read lots of old posts on here before deciding to do IP and people kept warning not to cheat. When you cheat once, it makes it really hard to get back on plan and stay on plan. It also can set back your weight loss 1 week.
Also, I remember seeing some stats before about keeping the weight off. The people who didnt cheat had a much higher success rate of losing and keeping the weight off.

Hi everyone!! This is my first daily chat because this is my first day OP! I am really excited about this program but nervous at the same time!
Even though today is my first official day, I have been reading like a mad woman through this site every day and I've learned so much already thanks to all you wonderful peeps!!
So I just wanted to say "hi" and congratulations on all the lost poundage!! Can't wait to be able to say I am included in that loss!
Today is a good day... after this entire week of reafffirming every morning that I am worth the work and that taking it simple and slow is good, I finally feel back on track. Not so sluggish. I finally am getting the energy from my " all natural green goo" breakfast that I have been missing.
Today's installment of:
Brandy's Feel good Quote of the day::::
Make the decision, then do something - no matter how small - toward accomplishing what you want.
That is where keeping it simple and going back to the basics after being on this program for so long is helping. Get the innocence back longtimers.... newbies don't loose the innocence of the beginning. We can do this......

Hey Liz, my allergies are crappy too - nose is stuffed and dripping all the time now. What's the recipe for the crumble? Anything that says 'rhubarb' and 'custard' gets my attention...

Aimi, sorry you went through this, but it sure is a learning experience isn't it? Several people, myself included, started the program without telling people in their life. I wanted to be sure of myself and not hear any naysaying. So many opinions out there, and this journey requires such dedication and faith that we just don't need the negative crap from anybody. So, good for you that you learned and rededicated yourself to your future !!!

I see so many new faces here - welcome to all of you and good luck on your journey !!! This program will change your life if you are ready and you let it do it's stuff...
