Congrats on all the NSVs and SVs today. It sounds like it has been a great week for many!

Just a quick note on the inches lost. Please know that not every coach measures the same way. My coach measured 6 locations and didn't double the inches lost for arms/thighs. Other coaches measure more spots (neck, ankle) and may double the total inches for each limb in calculations... so don't automatically assume the fact you lost 3 inches in a week is less than someone who lost 5!

It is hard not to compare yourself to others, but remember we are all different. Have a great weekend.

I use it in 1l too, i always did anyways otherwise its just too sweet. Maybe it is a canadian thing, lol.

You look AMAZING!!! It shows sooo much. Good job!

Congratulations on the promotion! I am strarting yoga/pilates this week... now I am wondering if I should up my protein. I wasn't going to because I thought that was only for people who did really hard workouts... but now I am wondering if i don't know what I am getting into... maybe pilates/yoga IS harder than I thought. Any thoughts?

Looking at your height and weight, you probably aren't losing the same inches you see on others here because you simply don't have as much to lose. You are in a good range for your height, so your body probably wont change as drastically as other people who have a lot more weight to drop. But if your clothes are fitting better, you are losing inches. Maybe just not right where you are measuring.

Wow. Thats pretty strict. My clinic had me start one a day from the very beginning, and I don't think it has slowed me down.

People keep saying this to me too! "I wish I had your willpower..." lol I have never been accused of having willpower before... I like it.

Thats awesome! Good for you for helping him change his life. I have a friend, we have always been about the same size and supported each other (I actually think it was a bad thing... we were both big because we had each other there to convince ourselves that it wasn't that bad) and now it is weird when we hang out because the difference is obvious. I really am trying to talk her into the program because she could really benefit from it and she gets really down on herself when she sees that I have lost weight and she hasn't. Hopefully I can talk her into it.

Wuv....that is so awesome!! God Bless you for offering to cook for him (I wish I were your cousin)!!Just think of how much easier it's going to be for him to breathe as the weight falls off!! I imagine he will get much motivation (in addition to watching your success) as it gets easier and easier to stand those long days in a salon!! Please keep us posted on his success!!! Thanks!!Yay on your first compliment!!! And yay on winning the war against that cookie!!! Woot woot!!

Good Afternoon Everyone!
Hope everyone is doing great!!!!

Today was my first weigh-in.... 5lbs down!!!!!
I did hope to be down a bit more, but it is the TOM for me.
But all in all, IM DOWN 5LBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reading all your posts does motivated. Thank you all for the support!

Congratulations! My first WI is monday and i'm so excited and sure wish to have a good loss like you!

Goodluck!!!!!!!
Im sure you will!
The first week was so hard. I think this is the hardest thing I've done, yet it seems so easy. I hope to have the same sort of loss next week!

Goodluck once again!

LOL. Actually I had done this experiment to know how much a glass of water in me weighs, lol, a while back! So I knew that drinking a glass of water is not going to work for me and since I really wanted not to get tempted, jump on the scale and adjust the weight by 1 pound, I realized that I have to foolproof my method, lol.

Congratulations. Great job.

Porthardy, I am canadian too and it's more of a workplace culture thing - depending on where you work. I work for the government and in one ministry I gained 20 pounds right after I started because of the treats but in this one just upstairs from the first - there's never any except on special occasions if then.

I am very excited for him! You will be a great cheerleader for him! Don't forget to teach him about 3fatchicks.com!

yuck! Not a fan of that soup either.

yay! woohoo, that is awesome! Isn't it so motivating!!! Enjoy your weekend!

Hi all!

Ok, i'm asking myself about flour... I'm going to the grocery in a few hours and want to make some pancake tomorrow for my breakfast (I'm in Phase 4). The recipe is: ½ cup of flour, ½ cup of 1% milk, 2 white eggs and salt. Not that bad, but i'm trying to find the better flour,4 'cause when I look at the nutrition fact, it's 455 calories for a cup!! :O Is there any kind better than the regular one or something to replace the flour?

Thank!
