Just like here...we got another 5+ inches of snow on Monday...and we are not going to see spring temps for the near future around here. Not even a bud on the trees yet.. or forsythia, kittywillows or crocus blooms either....
PS- I did not type "kitty willows"... there must be an auto correct on that word....

Oh my gosh...my school kitchen bakes the most delicious-smelling cookies every day! The only way I can get through that smell is to tell myself I can occasionally have homemade ones once I am in maintenance. The cookies at school are frozen, but oh, do they smell FAB every darn day! Thank goodness I cannot smell them in my classroom.Originally Posted by TurtleMom
That is tough! Do they ever bake cookies? Coz that is what would bring me to my knees

Sounds like a great plan with lots of support from your momma and friends! Spice it up, lady! We can do this!Originally Posted by ems70508
Reenhag, hear ya on the bland veggies. Yesterday was a big day for me. I went through the decision here on 3FC, with a close friend (or 2) and my mom. I ultimately decided that I set a goal for a reason and it's important to get there. I don't want to look back and say, well I decided to try something else (even though what I was doing was working). I can continue to go through P1 in a boring state and risk an explosion (which I don't want) or I can begin to start spicing it up again, like I did in the beginning.

Hey, down a pound is down a pound! Way to go!Originally Posted by tabletop1234
Had my WI in today and for being OP, I was disappointed, only 1.2 pounds. My coach said it is most probably due to my TOM. Trying to continue through it and not let the numbers get to me. Even my ketone strip showed I was spilling moderate ketones. Was expecting a lot more but it is what it is. Continuing on!

My determination has been waining since I'm in holiday mode, I'm hoping to keep that dress in mind for the rest of my holiday so I'll stay on track!
Excellent motivator, cannot wait to see a pic of this dress.Originally Posted by Hiker88
I found a great motivator to get my last 20 pounds off yesterday... we were browsing in the little shops in Kihei and I found a dress that I've been looking EVERYWHERE for!! It has black side panels and a blue middle... very slimming.. so I bought it in a smaller size and because I love it soooo much, I'm determined to get into it for all of my summer weddings!! My determination has been waining since I'm in holiday mode, I'm hoping to keep that dress in mind for the rest of my holiday so I'll stay on track!

I enjoy the Proti Diet products from Nashua Nutrition. I also enjoy some of the more IP compliant Quest bars (I buy them from GNC Stores) and Detour bars and EAS Shakes (from warehouse clubs like Costco). Best of luck on this journey!Originally Posted by Nas145
I started Ideal Protein 3 days ago but the prices are crazy. I have to buy next week's supply by the weekend, A friend recommended I try Proti Diet as an alternative, has anyone tried or know of this product.

But I have lost 2" off my waist and 2" off my hips! And 1/2" around my neck! Crazy! Didn't realize I had that much around my neck to lose!
Excellent! Way to go! No disappointment in a pound lower!Originally Posted by HulaChic
WI #2: -1 lb. Not as much as I was hoping, but moving in the right direction. I had an appointment with my MD last Friday and I weighed 185 (-3.4 lbs) on his scale. I know it's a different scale, though. But I have lost 2" off my waist and 2" off my hips! And 1/2" around my neck! Crazy! Didn't realize I had that much around my neck to lose!

Having an egg with lunch worked a treat! It still felt like a huge amount to eat, but at least I was able to finish it in the amount of time I had. Dinner was much easier -ended up having scrambled eggs because I didn't get my fish defrosted in time. I still feel really full, but at least I don't feel like I'm going to get sick from stuffing too much food in my tummy! Thank you to all who helped me figure this out
BTW, kale chips totally ROCK! Made them for the 1st time this evening
Glad you had some success with changing up your meals.Originally Posted by TurtleMom
