We like it when you girls visit! It keeps us higher up on the page!

I hate CNN but love Miss Lisa so I will open an account. I think you need to choose the button below the photo ie this belongs on CNN

Ok I voted! Go Lisa!

Just checking in. I'm here to remind myself that being a little hungry is okay and Normal. I had a late lunch, an hour or so ago but I'm still kinda hungry, I need to drink more water. I hope your'e all doing well!

Howdy gang! checking in!
Great to hear from Trip D! sounds like he is doing great! Need a check-in from Big Dad and out friend down in Texas!
JW: A big Howdy bro your way...how is your pardner doing with IP...got a report for us?
Vet: Hungry? Oh yeah brother...I am STILL hungry since last July 3rd when I began IP! Keep drinking the H2o I suppose....not much for it.
Lisa: I will get over and vote too! Hope they do a whole story on you, you deserve it and it would inspire so many people...Hey, glad you didn't get blown away in a twister kid...that would suck!
WELCOME to the new kid, Kitster...you are off to a great start and trust us all when we say you CAN do this. Just follow the sheets and trudge along one day at a time. Those days will pass whether you are on IP or not, so you might as well be OP and making progress. I have made weight loss into my new "hobby" so it has become a game to me. But then I AM a different sort...haha!
HAPPY NEW YEAR gang! You are all such a wonderful bunch of people and I am so glad I have had the pleasure of meeting you all here! It has been a blessing.
ROCK IT HARD kids and remember, be careful out there speed up when passing pizza shops and bakeries!
Jake

Oh yeah...bought a new car on New Years Eve as a gift to ME!
2013 ford focus SE hatchback loaded with every option they have...black and has 17" sweet black custom wheels, love the leather and especially those heated seats! And best of all....I fit in it great with lots of room!
Happy New Year to me!

Thank you vet! I'll gladly open an account on CNN, but just to vote for Lisa!

Thanks Jake, was a ruff one today but I stuck to it. Nothing worse than looking at pictures. And going oh my God, is that really how big I am. But, have to stay strong. Or else it will not get any better. Damn pictures add 10 pounds.....LOL
You all have a great Thursday.

You beat me to the punch...thanks for sharing the info on how to vote

I tell myself that the hunger pain is just the fat monsters eating away the fat. :D

Ha, she said she would keep your fingers busy.....:devil:

He's doing ok. His weight loss is moving a bit slow, but he doesn't stick to the program 100%. He knows this slows him down but he is happy with the progress. So, what can ya do? Thanks for asking. He's gone from 245 (i think) to 191 this morning. So it is working. :carrot:

Glad you got the info and went to vote, VET beat me to the punch.

Nothing worse than looking at pictures? :?: Keep those photos as inspiration! I found the worse photo of me, one I did not know it was being taken, and it is a profile shot, of all of me, my 9 month pregnant looking belly was sticking out in all of it's glory. Well, I took that photo and drew a big circle with a slash through it across that big belly, printed two copies, one for the office and one for my computer at home. Now that belly is just a tiny bump. :carrot:

Good photo idea, need to go to the archives and dig out one of where I am going. And something without a flash, because that sure brings out the grey in the hair.
On the positive note I can tell I have lost some, the scale looks good and the clothes are starting to feel a little looser. Yippee....

Awesome about the clothes getting looser. Talking about gray hair, I'm in the National Guard, so beards are out of the question. Well, last time I had my weekend drill was at the beginning of December. I got a nice beard grown out now, talk about gray hair. I seldom ever grow a beard and now have another reason not to. ;)

Just checking in. Glad to see everyone had a great Christmas and a happy New Year.

Happy Bday Vet.

I have been on a little break from 100% IP. My original goal was 245# and after I got there I changed it to 210# with my sights set on a size 34x34 pair of blue jeans. At 220# around Halloween I started wearing my 34x34 jeans and stayed on IP till I was down to 205# at Thanksgiving so I took a little break for the holidays.:( I Turn 51 next Friday and that will be 1 year since I started IP:D:D. I have decided to see If I can make it to “onederland”. So on the 12th I go 100% IP again.

Great to see all the new faces.

Hyrsk you're a week short of being exactly ten years older than me! Happy birthday to you too. 41 tomorrow. My kids are more excited than I am, it is pretty cute. JW you are right, I am liking that I am a little hungry. I distracted me a little too much this morning so I had a snack. I know the fat monsters are doing their work. JW by the way you are looking awesome! Great work.

Happy Birthday to you both (H and Vet)!

Vet: I also like being a little hungry and not feeling "full" or "stuffed" which always sapped all my energy....

Wow H, 1 year on IP...Congrats! Was wondering where you were and how you were doing! Glad to hear all is well!
Jake
