I am finding that the powders I have to mix I don't care for much... But the ready made drinks are awesome as far as protein drinks go... Can't wait to go get a double shot of espresso today over ice and then add my ready made vanilla !! Good luck on your first weigh in Glitterslayer :D

Great, srbj! It makes the first hard days worth it, right!

If you like mint, Metro mint water is really good mixed with the powders. Chocolate powder mixed w/choc mint water is really good. I wish there were more sugar-free, non-sparkling flavored waters. Starbucks Via coffee packets are good in the powders, too. (the pure coffee, sugar-free).

Also, Cappella Flavors (you can order online) has no sugar, non-sweetened flavor drops that are awesome! I have used them for years to flavor my water & coffee. Tons of flavors. I like Cherry Cola (tastes like carbonation, but not), Cake Batter, Peanut Butter, Creamcicle...

As for the soups, just pack them with vegetables & spices.

Have a good week!

Kat,
That sounds so yummy right now. I'll have to do that.

Hello all! Re-starting IP as of yesterday!

Lost 30 lbs about a year ago, then went crazy and gained some back, so back on the program. Last time, my husband joined me and lost 135lbs, now I am taking my mom on the journey. I know it works, so I am super excited.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXyX...51426B64690814

Thanks for the tips momotrips3.... I had the mint CHOC bar today and it was soooo good for a high protein product. Very creamy and the flavor was great. I could have been eating real candy!

@ Glitterslayer...awesome name by the way! So I usually get an iced soy latte from Starbucks no added sweetener. Today I did the shot over ice then added my Pre made vanilla drink... Honestly I missed the flavor of my reg drink but I think I can get used to the new flavor.

Momotrips thank you for the tip on the Capella Drops I just went crazy and bought so many. :dizzy: Looking forward to trying different concoctions. I like to try different thing so I don't get bored. :)

You're welcome! I love them and they work for so many things. I have a ton of them, too. They're really good. If you want to, you can use the cola or root beer or other soda flavor, put a couple of drops of stevia and voila, your water tastes like diet soda - without the verboten carbonation!

I am looking forward to flavoring the vanilla shakes and even the water. ;) Thanks again.

Day 3 for me. Was starving the first day but not bad yesterday. Sticking to my plan and can tell I am finally getting in the zone. Whenever I start low carb I have a day or two where I have to pee every 20 minutes and I know it's all the water weight dropping off. Holding off until Friday to weigh myself. All my clothes are still super tight, and I refuse to buy bigger sizes!!

Hi everyone! Been doing really well. Lost i think 5 maybe 6 lbs again this week. I ll know tom. At my weigh in. I have been feeling so energetic and I go go go all day long. I had one temptation this past week and that was to have a small piece of sharp cheddar cheese.! I resisted and didn t even try it.
When I feel a desire to eat and it isn t time I ll have a big glass of cold water or an herbal tea. We are all doing great keep up the good work!!!

I am starting IP today 5/15/14. I have done this before and loved the results only to gain everything back. I need support and encouragement..... My appt is at 4:45pm. here we go again....
