I just love a fellow geek :D

It might help for other to save this to their downloads, open Excel by itself and use the "Open", navigate to their downloads and open the .doc file. Then do a save as afterwards.
Windows 7 and > will give then a hard time changing the extension.

I LOVE IT by the way!

Are you enjoying your new breakfasts? I found it difficult to adjust at first and even now I find myself reverting to an IP packet if I'm feeling like it's too much. I do love my coconut flour pancakes though :D

Would Excel open the .doc file? Anyway, neat idea. I hope others are able to figure out how to get the document to work on their computers. It was so fun to get put together.

I'm really liking my new breakfasts. But, I am SO not a morning person. I'm waiting on the day when I burn myself. LOL That document I made really helps the planning process.

Great to know there are other nerds out there. ;)

Yep - it will open the .doc ... as long as "all file" types are listed.

I'm with you on the morning person!! I actually make my breakfast the night before. For the pancakes I make 2 servings, put a serving in a baggy and then heat them up when I get to the office. I simply CAN'T eat until I'm awake for at least an hour! I would definitely burn myself :D I can barely get the Keurig working at that time ....

As a side thought - wouldn't it be cool to have a database with tables for each group of foods and then have a stored procedure or sql bring a combination together that's perfect???? Whew! Could we make the money!!!

That's cool.

I actually started with MS Access, them moved over to Excel. A little backwards. I sold an excel document to an auditor for 100 bucks. She got 22 documents from 22 different offices and was going one by one and copy/pasting info into a 'master' document. I made it to where she just open that 'master', do a ctrl+m and it sucked in all that data. She loved it. LOL


Anyway, I am at work, guess I need to get back to it. Hope you have a good one. :carrot:

Awesome spreadsheet! Now all we need to do is put in all of LizRR and other's Phase III breakfast ideas. I'll be able to join you in Phase III in a couple of weeks. Can't wait!

Thanks. I hope LizRR takes a look at it too. Her breakfast ideas are really helpful, I hope my document pays back a little. :carrot:

I am here and will take a looksy soon! Been swamped lately!

Clearly I am not the only engineer or math geek here! Lol

I can TOTALLY relate, no rush or worries here. :)

You never know where we are lurking in the bushes. :carrot:

Ok..I am glad there are lots of you techs here. The spread sheet looks great.

Darbs:congrats on losing those pounds. That is much work and you have done it.'

Healthyangle: w'hat is your coconut flour recipe for pancakes?

Maile- thanks for that list! It was truly "right on" and made me feel good to know that I related to ALL of it.

Had a few days at P1 this week, tomorrow is WI. Should be back at goal, phew! Then I can get back to P3 breakfast ;)

The Breakfast Worksheet looks great! I am glad to hear that my breakfast ideas are helpful, I put a lot of effort into trying to find the balance of ingredients that would work within Phase 3 guidelines.

I am also swamped in the mornings, I usually make a big double or triple batch of some items on Sun night to grab & go during the week. Lately I have been just doing 'custards' with no pie crusts.

I have to confess, I have dipped in the candy bowl the past few days...nothing outrageous, but I still feel guilty. I have kept up with my running group - tomorrow doing 8 miles @ 5:30am! Gotta hit the sack, I have a weekend of work to look forward to, big meeting coming up next week....have a great night folks!

Hi everyone,
I start ph 4 on Monday and I have some questions. I love my coaches - but I'd love some other thoughts too -
1. Do you eat soups and if so, what type/brand (in one of the hand outs I saw they recommend soup at the start of dinner to get you full but it seems that it's high in sodium if you buy soup)
2. How is phase 4 different from phase 3 or 2 for you personally? What do you do that makes it different?
Thanks!

Jenny..Thanks for posting that. I related to all of it. Woohoo on reaching your goal and back to P3 breakfasts!
Drake girl: I don't make soups very often...mainly stews like a taco chili stew.
For 4 I really eat Phase 3 and then now and then add one half cup of beans or sweet potatoes to dinner. The rest is the same.
Good luck! welcome to maintenance.

Thank you Maile for sharing that. I felt like it would be nice for all to read. And I have to say, I completely agree with every single point, and I think it also applies to maintaining, especially the wanting it badly. I know I will do WHATEVER it takes at this point to make sure I never go back to where I was. EVER. This is a permanent change. And I love wearing a size 4 WAAAAAAYYYYYYY more than I could ever love any food. :)

My diligence this week paid off, lost the 2# I gained last week and then some. I am actually below goal (134.8- HA!) but it has been awhile since I have gone below. Now it is back to the P3 regimine during the week with some flexibility on the weekends. That is how I maintained before summer got her hands on me.
