A Good morning to everyone today ! Looking at a cool rainy day again, is spring ever going to come to us up North
I have nothing planned for the day except a little house cleaning, hope everyone has good WI's today cant wait to hear from you all .

Enjoy your day peeps

We have a freezing rain warning here today. I have a few projects going today, house is already clean, but I need to fold a couple loads of laundry.

I made Chocolate Banana loaf last night, very tasty and the texture was very much like a normal banana loaf.

For dinner I made roasted chicken and cabbage. I roast the cabbage with coconut oil, salt, pepper and dill. Very good.

Have a wonderful day all.

Good morning everyone. Hope everyone had a great Easter. Been busy working and doing some spring cleaning before going to work. I'm off today and it's suppose to be gorgeous...going outside to do some yard work. I can't believe I'm saying this...but I'm looking forward to it. I get WI tomorrow so I'll be back with new numbers....hopefully. Feeling great. I swear my inch loss is going down faster than my pound loss....that's ok...I'm happy either way

[Cheekyskeeter]

Happy Thursday everyone! They're saying it's going to get up into the double digits today and its bright and sunny out! I finish up P2 today and start P3 tomorrow for two weeks and.....I hit my goal!! Very excited.

Morning! It's still freezing here in the Mid-Atlantic ... I'm so ready for spring and to get the kids out of the house. Wearing a shirt today that I haven't been able to get into for about a year. Feels good .. would be nice to see my pants size going down since I've lost close to 30 pounds but I guess my waist/hips are being stubborn dropping inches. Pants are too big in the butt/thigh areas. WI tomorrow ... Happy Thursday!

That is awesome! Best of luck with Phase 3!

[mrskuby]

Yay!! WI today showed no gain! I am excited because I started working out again this week and I am SORE!!! And if sore muscles retain water...then this week is actually a loss! My BMI scale shows me being up a little in muscle and down a little in fat...it's not super accurate but I'll take it as a good indication!

SIL is doing well so far. She says she hasn't had any of the typical symptoms...which surprises me since she ate a ton of carbs on Easter! LOL I am so happy that she is doing this! I just know it will be the last diet she will ever need!

Congrats! thats awesome!
Im on P2 now. so far so good.
Kinda scared of P3, was reading what we are
supposed to eat in the morning, seems alittle complicated,
Im not a big breakfast person, looks like we'll be doing some
planning, kinda liked just making a shake or smoothie in the am.
We'll see, you can let us know how that is! I've got 2 more weeks.
ok good luck!
Have a great day!!

I too am a bit afraid of the breakfasts in P3. I rarely ate breakfast before starting IP so the shake in the morning was perfect for me. I am planning to keep my breakfasts as simple as possible.

I think there is a shake we can buy from IP that replaces
that meal but I'm not sure and don't know what it costs.
Does anyone know about this?
I could be wrong,

I saw something about this shake on one of the IP Facebook pages that I follow ... I'll have to see if I can find it again but it specifically said it replaces your morning mean (touted for people who didn't have time to make the breakfasts, if I'm remembering correctly).

congrats on hitting goal
I'm one pound off and I'm going to start P2 after weigh in tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous about P3 but going into it trying my best.

Good morning everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful day...and tomorrow is Friday!! Weigh-in is tomorrow for me. It'll be the end of week 2 for my husband and me.
