Not everyone is going to lose the same. Just hang in there. Were you dieting before this?

Way to go!!!! That's awesome!! Congratulations!!

Wow! Hope you get better soon!! I had it several years ago and although the worst symptoms (fever, cough) did go away fairly quickly with med's I had to use an asthma inhaler pretty regularly for about a year afterwards. Take care of yourself!! It can be very serious!!

I'm having a good day today. Not hungry like I have been alot recently. I go for my WI tomorrow...hoping to hit the -40 lb mark!! Congrats to everyone with losses and NSV's today and good luck to everyone who still has to WI this week!!

I have a question, why do we have to have lots of sea salt? Is it because we're drinking lots of water?

Thanks for all of the posts! It keeps me encouraged. I'm doing alternate program.

Good afternoon everyone!
Saw my coach last night and got all the supplies I need to start program on Monday! Excited! Can't wait to feel better!
You guys are all an inspiration please have a great day!

I had WI#2 today. I was indeed pleasantly surprised. I lost 6.4lbs and 3.5in!!! I also got some MIO from Walmart, yum! But they didn't have kale!! I'm gonna be a kale chip fan for the rest of my life. I also got approximately 6in cut off my head, so my hair is just skimming the tops of my shoulders. I actually like it. I was told I would by my mom, so I guess she was right. Mothers usually are... YAY!!!! I can't wait until next week!

Chocolate pudding cakes made with the pudding packets help me with TOM cravings.

No I wasn't. I would eat well for a day or two and get frustrated and gorge. This is the biggest effort I've put into anything thus far. I'm hoping seeing results will be what keeps me motivated. I do know that everyone won't lose the same, and I'm truly happy for anyone's big losses, I just hope to see some for myself too!! I'm doing well OP (day 9 today) but I am having some digestion problems if ya know what I mean. So that makes me feel a little bloated and like I'm not doing as well. I like when my tummy feels flatter and not so "full". Hope this isn't too much information! Thanks for the encouragement

woo hooo!

If you are taking about constipation-I highly recommend Mirilax and of course up your water intake.

lol I can totally relate to everything you just said basically LOL. I'm on day 9 too! Have you had your first weigh in yet? What did you lose?

I'm not a doctor, but it sure sounds like your symptoms are influenza. I haven't heard of these symptoms being related to IP. Get some sleep and take care!

The snow is finally coming to the Sierras after most the winter being the driest in the record books. Sucks for my commute but it will be nice to snow shoe for some exercise. I am changing my goal to 150lbs but if it takes a while to lose the last 10lbs I am okay with that. I just want to lose another 20lbs by May and I average 2.5lbs to 3lbs loss a week. I am still amazed that being in menopause I was able to maintain these losses:-) Even with a stall here and there. Loving the new recipes I am trying. Esp those waffles.

Congratulations idealpromom! What a huge milestone!!!!

NavyMom... thanks for your response... that's how I was feeling too but then I started thinking more about the number and what it would mean to be in that 'healthy weight' range. On the other hand, I think it's putting on too much pressure. I'm changing it back to "100 lbs lost" LOL... and stickin' to it. Will go from there!

BACKDROPsilhouette, pneumonia! OMGoodness! Take care and get better real soon.

These NSV's are doing it for me! What a great feeling to not have to shop in a plus-sized clothing store and to be able to find great deals... like a size 18 winter coat for $38 instead of $138! Woohoo!

For anyone new who is lurking (like I did for weeks before joining), I would not have believed in the results without doing it myself! This program truly is amazing!

snowing here today . I much prefer the brown grass! Went to supper last night at Mexican Village for FIL birthday. Brought my own veggies and salad dressing and ordered a plain hamburger with raw onions and pickles. It worked out pretty good!

I also tried making the raddish chips yesterday...FAIL. The first bath I made too thin, then next batch I made to thick! I'll attempt them again later this week or this weekend...maybe the kale chips too.

Congratulations to all of the SV and NSV's! Keep up the great work everyone! It's so exciting to see everyone's victories every day!
