Oh man do I hurt today! I volunteered for Bountiful Baskets yesterday and Had to unload the semi truck because they apparently didn't load the truck jack. It was hard work but so much fun to work together. My upper arms and shoulders and even my armpits HURT! I did drink an extra RTD after. I highly recommend volunteering for anyone who has BB in their area. There is so much wonderful fresh fruits and veggies and you get a free basket when you volunteer!
I'd love to volunteer for something like that. Just looked it up. Not in our area. But thanks for the idea. I'll keep looking for other opportunities.

I volunteered to do the rural communities through the month of November. It will be a 30 minute drive for me but it really is fun and worth it. It is great for Wyoming because we do not have an abundance of fresh fruit and veggies in the winter time.
my coach says if its LESS than 2grm of sugar its OK to use so you are good
Thanks for that, Wuv! I know there are veggie proteins (fake meats) that have some sugar in them, but they are often just 1 gram or less, so that means I can eat them, correct?
I was wondering if the NS in your name was for Nova Scotia, guess you are another displaced Maritimer in Alberta!
I hope you are correct about the storm. Last year they over-predicted a "big" storm that turned out to be nothing. Better to think and prepare for the worst than vs versa! Hope your family is safe!
Yes, I keep remembering one prediction a number of years ago when I still worked in NS. It was supposed to be a wicked storm and we had a meeting in Halifax. One school board had shut everything down and it turned out to be nothing so parents were not pleased.
But almost always it is as bad or worst than what they predict.
Right now it is not too good here either. One thing I have learned in my 10 years in the west is that fierce winds blowing across the prairies are as bad as those blowing across the north Atlantic. I really dislike them both!
[QUOTE=lisa32989;4511006]I HATED my initial weight and measurements. But I've posted the starting weight for all to see. And guess what? It changed. And I never have to go back there Our new path will deliver us from those weights and measurements we hate to IP!!!
Wow, your pictures are fantastic! shows how it really is important and take those beginning ones. It is easy to forget where we started from if we don't capture the evidence.
Could anyone please tell me what OLD BAY seasoning is? I have seen it here on the boards, but I'm not familiar with it. What do you use it for? What is the taste? Is it something I should try? THANKS!!!
Don't know if anyone else answered this yet as I haven't gone through all the posts.But it is a seafood seasoning.
I am from Nova Scotia and my coworkers just love my fish chowder. But I have really found it hard on the prairies to find some of the ingredients I use such as the Old Bay seasoning and clam juice without tomato in it.
So I buy Old Bay when I go back east. I haven't used it for anything except fish chowder though.
Edited to say I see you have lots of suggestions!

Hi everyone! I hate asking newbie questions but I am a noobs so here goes. Its the cabbage question. I got one IP sheet that said cabbage was ok in Phase 1. Then I got another sheet that said only red, pak choi, bok choy was ok for Phase 1. As best I could determine, the carb count for green and red appears to be the same. Is green disallowed for Phase 1, and if so, does anyone know why? Thanks much!
Wuv-I missed your 200 celebration, congrats! And thanks for the tough love, it has helped me get my priorities straight fast.
Did I miss this too? I have been watching for this huge milestone but thought Wuv weighed in on Wednesdays. I am wondering if there has been anyone else here in the IP section of the board who has lost 200 pounds. I don't remember anyone.

Noticed that Nashua is discounting shipping until Halloween - free shipping in the US for orders over $49 (they take $10 off international shipping). Enter code "SPOOKY" at checkout.
Sorry, I was never able to locate a phone number either. I did want to mention though that my orders from them have generally taken a little over a week to be delivered. I bet you get it early next week. It always just says 'processing' until it shows up.

Thanks - hoping it gets here soon
