    Oh...I didn't think about that, but I just might have to do that today. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Sydney, I totally agree - a goal of clothing size makes so much more sense to me (now that i am in sight of Maintainence.) I had originally thought I wanted to be 10 pounds less - but the type of weight i have lost has gotten me to a size 4! 10 pounds less would be too small. I realize that is is not about the number, but how you feel.

    now it is time to exercise and tone. starting with yoga and step aerobics - just to kick the muscles awake.

    MrsCW- -i hope you are feeling better soon. I have been living on nyquil and the like for 2 days - balancing it out by not having a higher carbed restricted. Hoping it's all gone for the week - On wednesday I am going on a yoga retreat for 3 days (a gift from co-workers) and I would prefer the sneezing be over!

    Have a great IP afternoon.

    Whoo-hoo



    I am now really in sight of onderland.

    With this, I have lowered my goal as I still have a lot of flabby fat and my BMI is still horrible. I have very large bones, so I'm never sure what it should be.

    Have a great OP day. It's worth staying 100% OP
    Molly
    Wow!!! Congratulations!!!

    OMG! I made something yummy today! I prepared my potato puree as a tortilla this morning and for lunch, I cut it into wedges and put them in the oven at 400 degrees. I turned them probably after 10 minutes. And voilą! Super good tortilla chips that I ate with a bit of salsa. Mmmmm!

    Wuv, I should tell you something... last week when I was still debating if I was going to do IP, your u tube videos came up and your videos are what gave me the final push to give a shot. Thanks for sharing your story and for all your encouragement.

    Couple of NSVs
    It's really been a couple of pretty good days for me this weekend.

    Friday morning started out with me getting ready for work and wondering if I could fit into my biggest pair of Levi's. (Being a midwestern/country girl, outgrowing Levi's was traumatic when that's all you wear!) So I started rummaging in the closet and came up with a pair of 24's. They fit!!! Still a little snug, not bad enough that I didn't wear them to work!

    Next, my boss's son's cross country team was having a dinner at her house on Friday night so she spent Friday morning at home cleaning and getting ready, which included baking chocolate chip cookies. She texted me a picture of them. I said that's not even nice! (She didn't know I was doing IP, and she's a stick.) So when she comes strolling in around noon, she comes in my office with a bag of cookies. Now I've never met a chocolate chip cookie that I didn't like, but I said, ohhhhh, thank you, but I can't have them. Wound up telling her a little about what I was doing and she happily removed the cookies from my desk.

    Then Saturday was my day to work at my part-time job. Basically a receptionist at a retirement home, so it's sitting at a desk, answering phones. Before IP, the whole day (13 hours) was a feeding frenzy. Big soda, McDonald's, Cheetos, Ho-ho's, Reese's, pizza or Chinese, whatever sounded good on my way to work that morning. I stayed 100% all day! Wasn't really hungry or bothered by it. Definitely progress for me!!!
