Good morning, everyone! Today is my week 6 WI and I lost 2.2 lb. I wish it had been a little more so I could have been in the 180's, but I'm happy with this number. Hopefully next week I'll see the 180's. If not, I'll happily keep going.

Good morning!

Today is day 4 for me. It wasn't until I was updating my fitness pal that I realized it was easier to follow than the day before. Tomorrow is my first weigh in.
Thanks for the support and sharing. It gives me a place to turn for guidance.

Good Morning everyone!

I had read on one of the threads about a website to purchase IP packets and supplements, but now I can't find it. I thought it was something like www.proteinfood.com but that wasn't it. If anyone remembers can they please post it for me? Thank you very much!

I have been on IP 7 weeks 2 days with no cheats...down 22.3 lbs and I feel great!:carrot:

I am getting so excited, 21 more pounds to go, coach say 7 more weeks.

Day two on phase three. Before phase three, I would drink my shake around 9:30 but now I need to eat breakfast before I leave the house which is two hours earlier and I thought that I would be so hungry for lunch but I wasn't. Thank goodness. I am going to be researching some breakfast ideas because I am not going to be eating grains (except for the occasional IP bar which is so nice on a busy day).

My husband is starting phase 2 today. I am so proud of him. He has lost 80.

Time to go start breakfast for me and my girls. Have a great day!

Today marks one month on IP and I feel fantastic! I'm down 15 lbs (according to my scale, probably 13 on theirs) and I have so much energy and I never feel hungry!

I have a big delicious bowl of rhubarb crisp in the fridge for lunch today. How awesome is it that I can have dessert for lunch and still lose weight? Instead of Splenda, I sprinkled Sugar Free Strawberry Jell-O on top of the rhubarb and then added an oatmeal IP packet on top. Yumm-O!

Thank you so much Southern!
So thankful for the support that is given here! :)

Any chance of you posting this recipe it sounds so good!

Is anyone else cold. I am freezing all the time which is new because I'm usually so miserably hot. Just wondering.

WI day today. I'm always booked in for 5pm after work but I think I'm going to change it to lunch time. I always get so discouraged having a late weigh in after my weight has fluctuated through out the day. Not too mention my clinics scale is 4lbs higher than my scale at home, so I always go by my home scale and weigh myself first thing in the morning on WI day.

One question I need some help with: what do you ladies do when tom is approaching and the cravings start getting out of control?

I did it !!!! I reached my GOAL.. http://www.3fatchicks.net/img/bar-bl...0/150/149/.png
