Good afternoon! I am so glad we turned back our clocks yesterday! Boy does that feel good! It sure makes a big difference.

Quick question for you guys: is it okay to have a phase 2 lunch once in a while? Let's say once a week or two weeks if we really have to (when we go out or whatever)??? Any thoughts? Thanks!

If you know you are going to be out for lunch instead of dinner, you can swap meals and do your protein at lunch and your lunch packet/veggies at dinnertime. You shouldn't bounce in and out of phase 1 and 2.

Thanks for posting that picture. I haven't been able to find it here and just realized when I saw your post I didn't even know what I was looking for!

I can't believe I get to report this, but...

I went shopping for work pants, which I am in dire need of... The butt is sagging in everything I wear. I got a pair of 16s! I cannot believe it. I haven't worn a 16 since high school, and I weighed less...two months ago I was SQUUEZING into a 20.

They fit like a glove, too!

That's a great NSV, djs! You are rocking this IP thing!

Amazing job!!!

About the size thing, I know exactly what you mean. I am currently wearing size 12 pants from my pre-prego days that fit VERY well, and I'm still 15-20 pounds from my initial goal (which I assumed was probably about 10-15lb heavier than I might end up at). I am giddy at the thought that I may see sizes that my butt hasn't squeezed into since I was in my TEENS!

I am so inspired by you! Congrats!!!

Ok, thanks!

I am kind of panicing tonight - which is so silly - because I know better, but I move to phase 4 tomorrow and I feel completely overwhlemed and unprepared - again - this is so silly! Anyone who has been there- I could really use some reassurance and advice - thanks!

YEA FOR YOU!!! I did the same thing myself last week... and although I couldn't breathe well last week (breathing's overrated anyway!), they fit perfectly now, as do the second pair I bought. And in a couple of weeks, they'll be too big... as yours will for you! WOO HOO! :D

I don't have advice but I do have congrats! Breathe. You've got this. :)

Another good day...steak and egg for dinner...can't go over my 8 ounces of protein. Hopefully this Thursday I will be 3 pounds lighter...I will break 200.

Great job!

woohoo congrats!
