He is adorable! Mckaren, huge congrats on the med news! What a relief that must feel like.

Since you're already taking a multi and an omega 3, you just need magnesium and potassium and you're good-to-go. It doesn't need to perfectly match IP. Just grab supplements for each. My mag is a cal/mag/zinc & my potassium is just potassium cit.

You'll really need the potassium so you don't get leg cramps. And most of us are mag deficient (and it helps with the "going")

Omega 3 alone is superior to Omega 3-6-9. We get enough of the 6-9 in the American diet. It is the Omega 3 we're lacking.

Hi again. It seems the search function is not working for me. Does anyone have a link to a good thread on Phase 3 foods and possibly P4 foods? My coach DOES want me to phase off for my vacation in 6 weeks. She wants to take me through 3 & 4 in about 10 days and then back to P1 when I get back. Thought I'd start doing a little research on it (especially since I did NOT phase off correctly my first time on IP). Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this! And I agree with what someone else posted- enter your phone number with no spaces or hyphens.

Congrats! What a great feeling!

I still have to take mine, as my high chol is hereditary. :shrug: Oh, well.

This is a great article! Thanks!

This is the best thread for P3. It'll take some time to read thru it so plan for it.

Can we have that on PI? I cant remember if we can or cannot (low fat-low sodium no extra sugars from what I read on the package)

It is not on the P1 sheet

Thanks, Lisa. Sometimes the obvious is, well, too obvious :-)

BTW, I just made a double batch of the lemon pudding muffins just now. They were very good!!!! So excited and happy to have something new!!

Had my WI today, down .8. Typical for me - I had a bigger week loss wise last week-3.4). This is my usual pattern.

Onward I go. It will come off eventually. I really would like to be at goal by my birthday (June 26).

Are my post visible?

Yes...I see this.

Ok thank you. Posted earlier today with no response from one person and I was worried.

I know how you feel. Sometimes I put a lot of thought into a post and get zero response. Don't take it personally...at least I try not to. :hug:
