So, I ate a Big Mac and Fries tonight for dinner. Not really, but it was the Big Mac in a bowl and turnip fries. I've felt more adventurous with food, so I bought turnips and rhubarb today. Made the rhubarb from the recipe video I got from IP the other day...super good! Cooked it mostly all the way down and it was like warm applesauce. The turnip fries were good, too. Just wish I could figure out how to make them crisper. I'll play.

I'm finding ways to be creative, make some new things so I don't get bored, and have fun foods. Oh, I also picked up the chocolate/hazelnut tea decaf herbal tea. YUM!! I won't cheat on IP. To me, it's just not worth it. I'm paying A LOT for the food on plan and I want to stay moving downwards on the scale. I'm so happy to have all of you here to continually provide ideas and support.

Staying OP is my goal too, and I am 100% IP. I understand why people do alternative plans because the cost is prohibitive. I am hoping to stay OP for as long as I can afford it.

When I started IP I gave up things like my creamer, that I have never (not once) given up while dieting. After a bad 2013 with health and gaining 60 lbs I knew no matter what I would be 100% OP and I know it hasn't been but 4 weeks on Wed but I haven't cheated once (even with creamer still in the house. It is only going to be 100% for me.

Thank you all for the inspiration on this thread today. I want to be 100% and get to my goal. I feel like I've come so far and don't want to give up on myself.

I'm hoping to do this with support here because I can't really afford a clinic. But I'll do whatever it takes!

Today's hunger on day 4 was a little better than yesterday. I did add the 4th packet because I exercised 90 minutes.

I had fun baking turnip chips in the oven for dinner.

I love jicama ! (Works like smooth move tea for me )

In one month I'm going to be a Godmother for my niece' son. Besides being able to be his godmother, I'm so thrilled I started IP in Jan! I'll be looking younger and slimmer in his Christening photos ... Woo Hoo!

Thanks for listening

Congrats on all your successes!

Would you mind sharing how you prepare your jicama?

Thanks.
