Hi Everyone! Hope you are having a good IP day! I'm so encouraged to see all the good posts today!
I had to get a haircut yesterday because I am losing so much hair and my hair was looking a little "off". My hairdresser said that I probably would need to get bangs to even things out in the front since I had so many fuzzies on my hairline, so I reluctantly agreed. UGH. I haven't had bangs since high school (when I totally hairsprayed the crap out of them and had the big bubble- anyone remember that?). Anyway, I hate how it looks (my own fault I know- I'm not complaining about the cut- she did a great job!), I work in a sort of creative field and this cut looks really conservative. Going to have to do some work to figure out how to make it work. Maybe I'll just go full-hipster. ;) Have a great day everyone! |

Hope you're all having a great Wednesday, and I really hope that this forum would stay the positive place we all know no matter how different the opinions are. I was wondering about veggie chips as well, other than zuchinis and kale that I did already in my oven, I would like to try to do more veggie chips, does any of you have a dehydrator that is successfully used for this purpose? I am thinking about getting myself one as a Christmas present maybe, but I don't want to have one to just put it in the corner, if it works for veggies getting them crisp, I would like to buy one. Please let me know, and if possible tell me for how long you put them in the dehydrator on what intensity, etc. Thank you everyone. |
Good morning everyone,
I'm still feeling tired although I got more sleep last night. Planned out my food today as yesterday's dinner was a bit crazy (but still OP) - can't wait until my dh gets back from his trip. It's so much more relaxing at dinner time as he gets home first and starts prepping for dinner. This morning I had a good laugh. I mixed up a protein drink from this jug of powder I've had for a while. I must have mixed it wrong, not added enough water or something but it was pretty chalky at the end. I drank the last of it and said "bleh, that was chalky." My 6 year old immediately piped up and said, "mom, you're not supposed to eat chalk, you're a grown up, you should know that!" Have a good day everyone! |

IP is what IP coaches are trained to do. They don't know how to manage/help when modifications are necessary, outside the IP "party line". They aren't trained in other options. A good professional in the weight loss field would explore these types of options. This is not how IP coaches are trained. To give modifications would put them outside their realm of knowledge and open them up for potential liability. Some coaches do have advanced training. Unfortunately, we see on these forums the opposite is occurring most of the time. |

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! Happy Hump Day. Yesterday was super-busy (story of my life these days) with work and WI and making dinner, etc. and it sounds like I missed some drama. Eh. Today is another day - let's move forward and not look back.
Staying OP and boyfriend has decided to incorporate, unofficially aspects of P2 into his life so that he can lose some weight. While he has always been very supportive, it is nice to have someone alongside who is doing it more actively. Of course, however, he chooses to start as I am considering phasing off. Hahaha. :) Anyhow ... happy Wednesday everyone. |
Deana509 - Hang in there with IP and this site. It is well worth it. This comes from a newbie like you, so I feel we share some common ground.
I think almost everyone on here has good intent, and that is what you need to judge. We are all in this together to try to make our lives and our health better. For everyone to feel like a community supporting each other, it seems that people really, really need to want to do the program and then everything you need to succeed is provided. You have done well and it is good that you are asking questions because that makes it more comfortable for you to proceed with the information you need to SUCCEED. That is why we are here, to succeed, together. We laugh together, we sympathize a little together, we give shoulders to cry upon and yes, sometimes tough love pops through. Please consider the INTENT and not necessarily the written word or tone, all of which are hard to moderate in print. The intent is to help, support, advise, educate, and inspire and you will get all that from whatever people we happen to be. |

So, this morning I dragged out the electric blanket and put it on the bed, I cannot wait until tonight to get it all warmed up and jump in. |
Reminder..
For sure looking at what has appeared in posts again this week reminded me to stay on the 100% thread.
After being off line most of the day yesterday, having what I hope is the last battery of tests, did most of the catch up reading this AM... O-My-O-My..Last week was so pleasantly lulled into the prevailing forum sense of "we are all in this together" and the discussions of true struggles or questions for some members still learning IP so they can make it work. With those trying to help by responding with IP appropriate guidance last week, it read like we were really clearly an IP forum. The daily cheat and confessional posts seem to be reappearing...and I wish that was done on the main 3FCs page. Yes there is a place for that. It can happen when anyone goes off of any formulated protocol. Hijacks and off plan adventures are not representative of anyone on IP.. Those posts are from someone on a diet... period. Not good..not bad...but not on IP. The philosophy is missing, and that is key for the emotional/mental piece of this program. Although..on the good side, this is a great example for newbies of someone not having their head in the game, either by lack of commitment or choice, and only concerned with making their own noise. It allows a real up close look at what not being on plan looks like. Could actually be a real helpful up close illustration for someone trying to decide which side of the fence they are on. Happy trails. If you don't know where you're going any road will take you there..." If you're on IP, the off road adventures are not part of the program. There are lots of roads out there.... the one labeled IP is not a crooked one. |

Okay, with the talk of cauliflower tortillas the past couple of days I caved and made cauliflower rice for dinner last night. I was never a big fan of cauliflower rice but after being on IP for 6 month and not having cauliflower rice in the mix; my OP dinner last night was AMAZING!!!
On the everyday I usually use cabbage for a base. Apparently cauliflower rice freezes nicely so I made extra and it is now in the freezer. :) |
