Happy Friday, peeps! Just had a WI...2 more pounds gone!
....12-17 pounds to go till at goal weight! Amazing. I started end of April. It hasn't been easy or fast, but as my DH says "its been a transformation!"
Yes, you are getting really close! Love watching your progress!
Funny NSV today.... One of the guys in our shop brought in mini cupcakes that his wife made. Well since I have started IP everyone on my floor has started some sort of eating healthy. I over heard one of the guys saying that he really wanted one but that he knew that "Brandy will give me the look of death if I eat it" It's kinda nice being an inspiration to my fellow co-workers. More water is being drank and healthier lunches are being eaten. Pretty awesome feeling. I really would like to get in gear and maybe even finish my mini goal of 220 lbs by Thanksgiving so I can really enjoy my holidays. I talk about the people on this forum every day it's funny. My DH knows some of you by name... lol
Well today's happy quote is:
The tragedy in life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.
Benjamin Mays
Everyone should have a goal.... even mini goals.
What is your goal for next week. What do you want to accomplish by next Friday? Please share.
Great question! Thanks for asking it.
My goal is to track all the things I eat for the next 10 days of phase 3. The overall goal is to FINALLY make a maintenance program work. I do NOT want to gain bakpck the 30 pounds I just lost....again.
So, the mini goal is for phase 3, and will be carried into phase 4...
Hi all. Happy Friday. I'm so glad it's here!! What a week it's been.
Since it's Friday I get to wear jeans to work and man, how strange is it to wear jeans again? Haven't worn them in months, and what a difference those months have made! For the first time in my entire life, I kinda feel skinny today. And it's insanely crazy that I can even type out those words. Makes me very happy. A co worker insisted I take a picture, so here it is!
And isn't it great when people around you start doing better too? I have one work colleague who's currently doing IP, another who's on Herbal Magic, another who's finally drinking her 3L of water a day and so on and so on. It's awesome to see the ripple effect!
Oh! What a beautiful lady you are. We are all so happy and proud. You are just beaming, thanks for showing us how great you are doing!
WOW! Amazing WIs today! Congrats to you all! Ipdivajean--You look AMAZING!
I had a rough day. Someone brought in donuts this morning, but I ate my crispy cereal. Then PTA brought in the most amazing smelling mexican food from a new restaurant in town, but I stuck to my salad and strawberry wafers. Then I had to help out our special needs class bake cinnamon rolls this afternoon. I about died at that point. I didn't eat a morsel but holy moly it was tough. So glad to be at home in my safe zone.

Wow, you were tested beyond belief! If you can survive a day like that you can survive anything. Great job!

WOW! I thought I had a rough day! This is day 2 for me and I've been tired and had a headache all day. You did a great job getting through all those temptations. I hope I can get through a day like this if ever I'm faced with one.
I'm only online a second, I have to get back to work, but...WI this morning, down 4 more lbs, total 49 AND more exciting, out of the 2's for the first time in almost 20 years! This program works, it's a miracle and these boards are a huge part of my ability to stick with it. Thanks!

It was kind of funny. My boss, who knows that I am on a diet program, kept looking at me and saying, "you ok?" "you need to go home?" "please don't quit." I made it and I am proud but sheesh, a girl can only take so much!
I started IP 9/5 and had a great 1st week 8lbs and 4+in.
I found this site while attempting to uncover the mystery "Is green cabbage a phase 1 vegetable?"...needless to say I love the site and reading all your posts and still have to find a solution to my cabbage issue
