The premier protein bars aren't OP. I just get the premier protein RTD shakes and then detour or pure protein bars.
Susie - would you mind PM'ing me your list of "go to" stuff you get? My sister wants to try IP but because of the cost, she'll have to use alternatives. I've been browsing through the alternative threads but it's confusing for me and since you're in Ontario, we should (hopefully) be able to get the same stuff here
Thanks for all the info on the alternatives! Purplemomster, my sister wants to try with alternatives also And I'm considering at least using the EAS choc drinks in place of the IP choc drink mix. Sure will be more cost effective! Hope it's as good. Everyone have a wonderful day!
We went out last night where there was lots of drinking and foods that immediately will make me swell up (since breaking from P1, I notice any gluten does it so I restrict)
Eating clean makes me feel so much better!
I took some Mio.
At this point, I don't feel deprived. Deprived of what? Feeling puffy and bloated? I'll pass.
So glad IP taught me new ways of acting and reacting toward food.
You hit the nail on the head. Lack of sleep is a huge trigger for me and it hitme this weekend. We went to a show Thurs nite, out w friends Fri and Sat. I may have gotten 4 hours sleep each night. I was tired, achy and hungry all weekend. Ate way more than I should have and had a few off plan items.
Send some positive vibes my way today ya'll. my daughter (16) has an appt with an orthopedist. She did a jump in dance last week and when she landed her left knee buckled, she's been all week and the trainer at school (a physical therapist and kinisologist) thinks she torn the patellar tendon. She's so upset because the Sugar Bowl is in a few weeks and she was chosen to dance in the halftime show. She's worked hard since Sept raising money to pay for it and learn the moves. Hoping it's just a strain!
Hope everyone has a good day, those of you with snow, stay warm!
Hope everything with your daughter was okay. Just wanted to tell you that you look great! I haven't been on the boards much due to crazy hectic schedules at this time of year, but your picture looks like a whole new you--CONGRATS.
I am celebrating One-Der-Land this week. Never thought that 4 pounds would mean more than any other 4 pounds, but I am dancing in the hallways And I "shopped" for a holiday outfit in the back of my closet. Found a great outfit I had worn several years and pounds ago, and truly it is a little loose! I could not have done this without all of your support, encouragement, advice, and RECIPES!

Congrats!!!! Onederland is definitely a huge mental victory... something about seeing that one instead of a two... I hit 200.0 this morning... can't wait to dance in my hallways!!!
Good morning all!! Decided to do some measurements this morning since I noticed yesterday my pants were very saggy, and I am down a total of 11 inches off my waist and 10 inches from my hips!! I tried on a pair of 33 jeans that I bought a few years ago and still had the tag on them... a little bit of muffin top but I'm definitely wearing them today!!
My husband said we are going to do some Christmas shopping after work this evening... wish me luck!!

I get them at Costco. A box of 18 for $18. I have seen them in Walmart as well, but I think around $8 for 6 of them.

I'm with you Lisa - I haven't really felt deprived since I started IP. I can make yummy foods (I love the recipe threads!) and there's things I think "oh, that would be good." but it's just a passing thought - all that stuff will be there later.
And really, I don't find myself missing much of anything - I have totally changed my tastes in food. Before I would think a fat, carb, salt-laden dinner with a sugary dessert was delicious. Now a burger patty wrapped in lettuce and some roasted cauliflower or rutabaga or turnips makes me drool! Amazing how our tastes change.

Congrats on Onederland Justdoinit! Isn't it awesome to know you'll never have to see that 2 on the scale again? I'm dancing in the hall for you too!

Lisa - I could not agree with you more. Eating clean not only makes me "feel" so much better from not being bloated, but it also makes my mind "feel" better and encourages me to keep going.
I have struggled through a tough phase but hope that I am out of the woods. I am still at the same lowest weight so at least I have one battle I did not have to fight.
For all of us, I think the battle is the Christmas evening get togethers - work, friends, business related, whatever. I am still hoping to get through that successfully and still lose some more before the end of the year. Then the really-get-serious approach will come out.
I have two family weddings to get to next year, one with my five siblings who have not seen me in for many many pounds. They do not know what I am doing so I hope to do some shocking! Several months later I have our oldest son's wedding and I REFUSE to be the old fat saggy lady in an ugly tent of a dress.
