Been two weeks since my last weigh in. Down another 5! Not bad considering Thanksgiving and another night of "extra curricular eating/drinking" with friends. Hope everyone is doing well! Getting cold here in my neck of the woods. Wind chill tonight is supposed to be around -25. AKA Jig will not be going outside of the house tonight.

Hi everyone,

I actually had a great time at the party! Did not eat or drink a thing. Pretty funny, some people did not recognize me. These are people that I see every year at this party. The women said, Do I know you? Then made a huge deal out of it when she realized who I was. Half happy and half I must have really looked terrible. Oh well, let's go with happy and use it as motivation to keep it going.

Thanks Lisa for the info. I have no intention of stopping IP until I am done. Even if I have to shift to some alternatives or live on the six soy free products. I am going to do an elimination trail to see what is causing the hives- I am pretty skin allergic, and would deal with it- but it is on my face!

Thanks for the support everyone. I really appreciate it. Hope that the oral surgeon has good news, Luccilove.

Airportchick, are you home yet?

Jig, congrats on the fiver! I would stay home too! Hate the cold.

Another holiday party tomorrow! This one has pizza! Will need some:dust:

Soy free IP
Chocolate drink
Wildberry yogurt
Cheddar ridges
Pre made Strawberry banana
Pre made chocolate pudding
Herb and cheese omelet
Blueberry cran granata
Banana pudding
Lemon pudding
Chocolate pudding
Strawberry pudding
Salt and vinegar ridges
Fine herb and cheese omelet

Slipfree: Down towards the bottom of this thread is a pretty good chart of most of the IP products and their ingredients (soy, gluten, etc.). http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/idea...-ip-foods.html

I was having terrible stomach and rash issues that were attributed to the soy - I quit all soy for several weeks, had surgery for a hernia and then discovered I did fine adding back in one soy product a day.

Ruth Ann, Thank you so much. My center has all of the lists on their website but they are all separate. Wonderful to have all the IP ingredients in one document.

Way to go!! Stay warm this weekend :)

Yayy

Quick question. I am out shopping now. What is techincally the approved sweetner we can use? My mind is blank and I cant find the info at home. Thanks

Stevia or Splenda, I think.

Thank you😊

Thank you!

Thank you! I use stevia

Bad news...I had a terrible day on Thursday and a meltdown. I won't get into it all, but I'm completely overwhelmed at work, am 99% sure I'm moving to another city in the spring, and holiday stress about being around dysfunctional family, etc. I was so upset I cried at work, left early, stopped at my favorite bakery and pizza place on my way home from work and binged Thurs and was off plan yesterday. I stayed home from work to recover yesterday and I'm feeling better and back on plan today. Hopefully my meltdown won't effect the scale too much. Public service announcement: don't try to quit your antidepressant when you're stressed and/or going into the holidays or have major life changes coming up. I found out the hard way this is a REALLY BAD idea.
