As positive as I am these days and as strong as I've gotten with staying OP - I'm feeling like I want to inhale a plate of enchiladas!! I'm having some anxiety over some things in my life - not earth shattering - but more stress than normal and food has been my numbing agent in the past. I've been fighting this all week!!!

I so understand how you are feeling. I was just thinking of this last night and realized I need to find a way to deal with things differently, rather than "medicating" with food. I hope your cravings pass quickly and that the stress resolves just as quickly! Big Hug!
So, I start maintenance tomorrow and I have to admit I'm a little afraid. I'm nervous to go back to my old habits which was actually not eating enough and keeping all of the calories I ate. It's scary to let to of everything I have done for the past 10 weeks...lol. Wish me luck!!! Have a great day everyone!!!!
Woo hoo!!! You will do great! Come on over to the maintainers thread, congrats for crossing the finish line!

Question for people. I have some frozen chicken leg quarters. Think I can boil them frozen or should I let them defrost? I'm thinking I can boil them for a while, then use the water for stock and chicken for soup tonight.
Day 2 and my headache has me in the bed. I still excited and pushing forward because I know IP works and will yield the desired results. Have a great evening everyone!
I read if you take 1/4 tsp of salt and drink it in a tall glass of water your headache will be gone in 10-15 minutes. That's what the doctors office I go to gave me in a little leaflet at least.
And hello!!!! IP/alt IP people! What a stressful day. Only good thing really was that a friend who is also on IP let me try a white cheddar crisp thingy... MAN I have to get some of those for the movies!
ZombieDawn: I remember you asked about the dosage of the Cal-Mag pills...I just got a new bottle. It says 2 tablets, twice daily so still a total of 4 per day.

They'll just take longer to cook from frozen, but you can drop them in frozen or thawed. Or toss them in the crockpot and forget about them for an afternoon!
