  • Quote: Does anyone know if there is a limit to how much splenda you can use in a day? I'm starting to worry that between my morning coffee and evening rhubarb I may be maxing out, or going over, the recommended splenda useage. Thanks!
    I've always been told to limit the "extras" (splenda, WF, etc.) to 5 servings a day. Don't know if that's a real rule or not, but it worked for me.
  • Laughing now!
    Quote: Good to now IP43 - I'm planning a reduction later this year. My bra size is totally insane and I have to order bras since no one carries my size.
    As much as you are an incredible inspiration to me Ruth Ann, this entry made me laugh as I realize how different we are in one BIG (or small) aspect. After losing what I have so far, I can't even find mine anymore! I am as small up top as I was when I first got a bra, only not quite the same shape (to put it mildly)!
  • Quote: Hello, I'm new to all this. Started IP this morning. I'm very hopeful for success with this. I will be doing lots of reading for the next few days. Every time I read of success with this I am more motivated...:-)

    Welcome, You will get lots of support here. Reading all the success stories really does motivate me to stay on plan. It gives me hope that there are so many people reaching their goals that maybe this time I can finally lose and feel good about myself.
  • It's day 2 for me, and I'm feeling a little yucky....my tummy doesn't like the drinks too much. But, seeing all the encouraging comments and reading the inspiring stories has me encouraged. I'm determined, though. Wish me luck!

    Ohhh, Day 2 is hard. Day 3 and 4 were hard for me too. But once you get past those, it's all good! You can totally do this. Good luck!

    The first week was pretty hard for me too. One day at a time and soon you will be in a routine and it will be easy.

    The first week was not fun I agree! Just stick with it and you'll be glad you did next week. It gets so much easier the second week! You can do this!
