Good Morning everyone. I posted this late yesterday but no response so I thought I'd try again.

Anyone have a PROMO Code for "Just Plain Protein?" I need to place an order today and any discount really helps. Thanks!

Good morning everyone, I had a great weekend with staying OP 100%. Second WI is tomorrow. Spring isnt in the air to much this am as it is -21C which is -6F. Brrrrrrrrrr

Good morning! Sick baby today so scrambling to work out the day. Stayed OP over the weekend but my scale is up 3! Today I will focus on hydrating and green tea to flush all of that right out!!

The name of the month with a minimum order, which I believe is $165.

I decided to switch to alternatives. I ordered from Lindora last night and I'll buy some others today. I weighed myself this morning and I'm down 4lbs.!!
That's 25.4 since 1/8/2013. I'm very excited!

Thanks. I'll give that a go

WOOHOO! My scale is FINALLY moving again. Down 2 pounds! I've been stuck on weight/measurements for the last 3 weeks! It's going to be a good week!

One more day until washer/dryer delivery, I can't wait!

Thanks for the welcome... I feel free!!!

Good morning everyone. Haven't been on here much. Basketball games and work all week-end. I feel great on this diet. I just love it. No more feeling bloated or uncomfortable pressure in my lower abdomen from eating too many starchy carbs. I'm getting out more and getting some walking in...life is good !!!

That's awesome! Thanks ~ I could use the discount as well

Congratulations! Just wondering if you changed things up in order for the scale to finally move again?? Or did you just wait it out??

Heading to week 3 weigh in. Met first mini-goal and got my wedding ring off my finger for the first time in months . . . but then I put it right back on!

I waited it out, but I had some mental issues with it. It was my first real stall and I wasn't sure what to do. Was my body telling me it was done? Did I set my goal too low? Should I exercise? What am I doing wrong? Am I happy with the way I look now? Those types of questions. One piece of advice I got from KitKat was to "give it another week", which I did. The other piece I got from Ragdoll was to "prepare to phase off", which I am going to do this month. I have decided to finish out the month of March on Phase 1 and then possibly move to Phase 2 starting April. I kind of want to see if I continue to lose or not.
