Thank you Lisa32989, Yesterday you helped me determine that I was working off an old IP sheet. Something I will approach my coach about on Thursday.
Now with A1Texan confirming the Rhubarb Crisp is as great as it sounds, I know what I will be making in the next couple of days.
Has anybody had issues with being extremely bloated? This is something that has just started in the past 2 days. I initially loved how that bloated feeling was gone, but now it’s back. I haven’t changed anything as I am a routine eater and have always loved my water.
Thanks Scorbett, although I may be a bit confused...
If the serving size is 1 caplet..and 1 caplet has 99 mg (from 595 mg Potassium Gluconate)....
Then if I'm taking 3, does that mean I'm getting exactly what IP recommends?
Or are you saying I should just get 99 mg - which would be 1 tablet?
Thanks!
ALSO - you know alot so if you don't mind me asking you 1 or 2 other things!
1. Are onions the only veggie we are allowed under select that we can't cook?
2. Are Phase 1 ppl allowed to use ANY Walden Farms products (not just dressings, but the syrup, jam, choc dip, etc.)?
Thanks!
That might be my misunderstanding - I thought based on your previous post that the serving size was 3 caplets, and 1 serving was 99mg. Double check the bottle - if 1 serving = 3 caplets, then you are fine. If 1 serving = 1 caplet, then you should only be taking one per day.
RE: onions - they don't want you cooking those because onions caramelized at high temperatures, creating long chain sugars which cause a higher glycemic response than raw onions. Any other veggie is fine to roast/cook to your heart's content. For me personally, I was fine with eating cooked onions that were NOT caramelized - in chili, stew, crockpot recipes. The long chain sugars only form at high temperatures (sauteed, roasted, grilled). That's one for you to use your own judgement.
All Walden Farms products (as long as they are labeled 0 calorie/0 carb/0 sugar) are fine to use on P1 I still use the jams in maintenance!
Scorbett - I confirmed that my potassium pill was a 1 pill = 1 serving, so I reduced from 3 to 1. Thanks! I'm assuming my other pills were all okay. I appreciate the feedback!
I'm now on day 4 - still feeling good...can't wait to get through my first week!
Had my annual physical yesterday and was very happy with the results. Down 25 pounds from last year and my vitamin D which was 16 is up to 54, guess taking Vitamin D supplements worked.
My doctor had been very successful on Ideal Protein last year. Was a little sad to see that she had gained all her weight plus some back this year. Mentioned to her that now that I am at goal, I want to learn how to be careful and keep it off. This has made me more determined to keep the weight off.
So I had a busy weekend with my birthday and Mother's Day. It was very hard to fight temptation and ended up cheating one meal each of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The remaining meals I stated OP. Yesterday was my 3rd weigh in and was only down -1.2. = (
I'm ready to get my head back in the game and loose this weight! Who's with me?

I've started telling this people who ask what my goal is:
My goal is to maintain my weight loss.
The statistics are not good for people maintaining. It really IS a lifelong change. We will NOT be able to go back to the way we ate before if we want to maintain. Some things will have to go, some will have to be carfully regulated.
I'm thinking MFP will become a lifelong tool for me.

Couldn't agree more! I'm terrified of maintaince, I've been taking lots of steps now to prepare for the future. This is a life long journey.
WOW - That's great to know. I'll make some more tonight. I can't believe it myself and all my friends are equally shocked that I'm cooking. Those recipes from Amber and Rainbow just look too good not to try.
Thank you! I'm trying Rainbow's bread made out of potato puree this week. Then she made it into a panini! What!!! Then I saw another recipe from her for crackers made out of the potato puree. Trying that one too. I wish there was an alternative to the IP potato puree. I've made the cauliflower pizza crust before and was thinking maybe I could make crackers out of the recipe somehow. I'm still thinking about that one.
I posted this in another section... but I wanted everyone to know.. I turned down black-bottoms (cupcakes)! I was never a sweets person, but I loved those. I would get one from this diner that we went to on Friday's when we all went out to eat. My friend forgot and got me one. Then realized it when she got back. I am proud of myself for saying no, and am slowly forgetting about it! I think that was one of my toughest moments right there, and I got through it! You can too! Stay motivated everyone!
Good afternoon!
Had a great NSV yesterday- I went shopping with my daughter to find a dress for her College graduation, got a. Size 10! I haven't been that size in years! So surprised how good it looked I had to keep looking in the mirror, can't believe that's me!
These recipes I keep hearing about sound pretty good, I'm going to hav to step it up a bit and start trying them.

I made the bread last night using the Potato Puree packet. It was alright. The Potato Puree comes out more as a pancake. I used it with my burger but half way through I just pealed the bread off and ate the meat.
I know Rainbow uses the Crepe mix to make English muffins and adds WF jelly. This seems like it would make a better bread to me. I plan on trying it once I reup on my packets.
Tonight...I'm going to take a stab at Kale Chips. They sound disgusting to me but everyone else seems to like them so I said what the heck!
