Sweet congrats!!!!

Josey, how did your first weigh in go?

First weigh in this morning.....(already texted my buddy wuv2, she gave me a pep talk) my coach was (or at least acted really surprised/happy)....Lost 4.5 lbs and 3" (Chest-1", Waist-1", Hips-1", Arm- 1/4",and Thigh 1/4"). She said since I have alot of muscle, I will see more inch than lb loss (I used to run 4 miles a day 6-7 days a week!!) So it was a successful WI

Thanks for asking, ahhh, someone remembered (other than my buddy whom I bug non stop!!). I LOVE this forum and these threads, it has really helped me stay committed, and I NEVER would have believed it. I told my coach this morning and she wrote it down and said she is going to suggest blogging and this site to others. I REALLY need you guys, and read EVERY post on this and the daily thread. I dread going back to school a week from Monday, I won't be able to read/check in until late afternoon YOu guys give me motivation and strength!!!

So just as I am in the 3rd day since my last slip up, 99% sure I am in ketosis again I made the kids lunch. PBJ per their request. I ate PB. Again. I was starving when we got in the door and instead of grabbing a bar (i got them yesterday) to help me get through the lunch-making process, I was licking the knife as I made the food and it gave way to a spoon. Anyway, it wasn't pretty. I threw out the jar. Clearly this is my albatross. Begone with it. The kids can be PB free for a few more weeks until I am done with IP.

Congrats Scofflaw, you and I weight about the same!

I agree. Toss it. When I am thru with IP (months from now) I will be using this peanut butter. http://bellplantation.com/

Congrats Scofflaw - I hope I can follow in your foot steps. I don't know why I'm so nervous that this just won't work for me.

Cherbe, why do you think you are so worried, are you happy/okay with the diet so far....It is a boot camp style diet, meaning, you have to be willing to give up a lot. I just keep thinking of why I committed and not to give up, ANY diet is hard. Last I checked there is not one I can eat flammin' hot cheetos, baby ruths, bologna sandwhiches and pizza on.....if anyone hears of one that works like that though...let me know. HHAHAHAHAHAHA, that one is a joke.....

ha - no, I don't think those diets exist. I am actually having little to no problems with the diet. Headaches a little. Not too much hunger at all. Zero problems saying no to things. I have been 100% OP for 4 1/2 days and know that I'll remain 100% OP until my first 19 days are up and I'm going on a trip. I'm nervous because it hasn't been hard, because I have yo-yo dieted more than I would like to admit and what if my body just doesn't want to give up weight, I'm nervous because I really want this and only my actions are in my control - not my weight loss. I don't like not knowing. I don't like not losing weight every day. I'm apparently VERY high maintenance this week - ha!

Had my first lettuce stir fry with bell peppers, garlic, and tamari. Delicious!

Hello Everyone! I just joined Weight Watchers PointsPlus progarm last Monday 7/18/11.... I'm not really understanding the fruits and veggies that are zero points...

What is your weigh in day? My coach told me NOT to weigh in at home b/c it puts you on that emotional roller coaster, so I have committed to that, sounds like that may be better for you to, b/c you aren't struggling w/the diet. If you have yo-yo, like me, then you should feel good about the results and congrats to staying OP!!! OK, so you are high maintainance today, tomorrow may be me....that is why I LOVE these threads!!

Thanks JoseyM - WI is Monday/Tuesday morning - I pick - because I only had a half day monday. I know I should get on the scale less - because it is stressing me out - but I can't help the numbers.

Thanks for letting me be high maintenance!

No problem, remember what goes around comes around just kidding, yesterday was my day...

So very very looking forward to PB2 Myself! I am now just kicking myself. Again. Seriously, why in the WORLD do we do stupid things WHILE we KNOW they are stupid. With each little taste, I was like "you are going to regret it" but it didn't stop me . . .
