Hi there!
I just completed my third week 100% OP, thanks in large part to all of the inspiration and advice I've gotten from "lurking". My fiancé is being really supportive and has been trying some new foods along with me (cauliflower "rice, for example). I just want to say thank you to all of you. - Jen

1littlestar, Where did you get those cute charms from? I'm looking for something to start for my mini goals. I love the yes one! However, with your NSV this week, I think the boot one would be awesome for you!!
|
Sansfilter: Welcome and good job staying OP! It is the only way to get up and get after this diet! Keep up the good work.
Littlestar: I like the YES one! You can look at it every time you need some encouragement knowing that YES you can do hard things! |
bellasamimom - Congrats on the 7 lb loss WI, WOW!
Lisa - I hope the positive spin for your 2 weeks on steroids is that they will really help your back to heal! Wouldn't that be a blessing!?! Not losing for 2 weeks or possibly slight gain would be worth it (IMHO) if it helped your back be healthier for the long run. You know how to lose the weight; you've proven that over the past 8 months. 1LittleStar - Congrats on your huge milestone, weighing less than 250. How awesome, WTG! I do like the boot, also. I agree that you can get the "yes" as a future reward (maybe ONEderland?). Maybe someday you can swim with dolphins and get the dolphin then? IdealProteinNewbie - wishing you a calm, smooth Saturday! Hopefully, you can sleep in on Sunday. That's one of my favorite things is to be able to go to sleep on the weekend and not have to set my alarm clock! :) I'd just see how the day goes. If you are hungry after you've had all the P1 protocol food, you could try a pickle and or extra protein. You may not feel like you need the 4th packet, but I don't think it would hurt you to have one if you deem necessary. M35A2 - Phenomenal before/current WL pictures! A picture is worth a 1000 words! sansfilter - Jen: WELCOME! I'm glad you have a nice and supportive fiance'. They are worth their weight in gold! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I spent a nice Pacific NW day at the zoo in Seattle with family. We all had a wonderful time. I guess we probably walked about 1 1/2 miles. After arriving home, my DH wanted to walk our dogs and was in the mood for a long walk. I'm estimating we walked about 2 1/2 miles. I'm enjoying an extra non-resticted after the 4 miles walked today! I love that Spring is finally here and we can get out and enjoy the warm weather! ~Jen |
So here's the three competitors for my next charm:
Dolphin - represents the recent trip I took to Texas. Yes - Yes, I can do this, I am doing this! Boot - represents the recent skiing day that I had, which was about rediscovering the old me again. So everyone, let me know which one I should get for my next 10 lbs milestone, which I am hoping to reach officially at weigh-in tomorrow.[/QUOTE] Thanks!! I thought it was meaningful to start with the compass. And I feel like I am giving myself a new life. Wow that is a hard choice!!! I would get all three :D I think I would go with the boot. I think it is very cool that you were able to ski again!!! That represents so much of this journey. |
1littlestar I like the Yes charm.
JenRem I'm so jealous of your spring weather. We don't really have a spring here outside of Chicago. It seems to go from winter to summer with a flip of a switch. |
I vote for the YES charm myself. I like all of them but I think that would be my next one.
Oh and I'm very excited....today is my last day of P2 and I start P3 tomorrow for 2 weeks but I hit my goal!!! I was so excited I actually went and grabbed my phone to take a picture of the numbers lol. |
Morning everyone! Just wanted to check in and let you know I've made it through three 100% days! And what's even more exciting, I'm only up 0.2 lbs from my lowest weight! Wahoo!
I was going to start phasing off on the 12th, but after talking to my coach I think I'm gonna hold off and stick to it for an extra week at least! I would love to get a few lbs below my goal so I have a little flexibility in maintenance. Hope everyone else is having a great week! |

DW left for work this morning in a sour mood. She's been stressing over work and wanted something real for breakfast. I offered to make her some eggs but that didn't seem to be what she wanted (I'm guessing bacon - one of her favorites). We're both hitting 10 weeks OP tomorrow and I know she'll stay strong. Just wish I could make it easier for her to get through the day. |

Cheekyskeeter: Congrats on getting to P3 and your goal!
knm: Way to stay OP! Seems reasonable to go a little longer if you can for more 'wiggle' room! M35A2: Such a supportive husband! You guys are cute! ********** Had an emotional day yesterday but turned to my journal instead of food. I think I got most of my feelings out and feel better this morning. It helped that I went to a party last night and 3 people commented on how good I looked (they only see me once a month) and really went on and on about my weight loss! That made it easier to pass up dessert and all the candy that was around...that and my sugar-free gum :)!! |
Just dropping in for some inspiration! I'm two months in and losing steam, but this site sure is motivating! Thanks everybody!

I've surfaced after coming down with the flu and being bed ridden that last few days. It's always when spring comes and I think I'm out of the woods that I get sick! Blaming it on all the kids I saw for Easter, little germ factories! :D Managed to stay 100% even though all I wanted was some ginger ale and saltines, thankfully they were not in the house :carrot: |
