Also, 8 team members were eliminated as they signed up, but never weighed in.

I had the weirdest week. Last week I was like 185.6, yesterday I was 183.4, today I was 181.0. Um...that's not normal for me. o.O

yay! sooo excited

Congratulations team for winning this week
I wish I could say that I contributed but I didn't. I used a freebie so I have to be more careful with weighing in. I have been so busy with school that I completely forgot. I know everyone is just as busy, so I won't make that excuse again!

Omgzitsmiranda for being our BL this week, and also to all the honourable mentions. WTG!

I forgot the other week too because I had switched my weigh-in from Sunday to Monday, but I switched back to Sunday now.

Thanks!

Congratulations Omgzitsmiranda!!!!!

Thanks!

Congratulations to the red team! Glad I could post a loss this week instead of a gain!

WTG team!

Congratulations Red Team
I didn't have the greatest week, but hope to turn it around this week.

WOOHOO!!!!...there are 3 of us on the red team that are on IP....WOOHOO!!!!!.....I didn't realize you were on this....I am super excited now....both YOU and Pam are in the top....GREAT JOB.....awesome job to everyone on their Weigh In's last week. Hopefully this week MY numbers will be there for ME!!!

I'm on vacation during the first part of the week but I'm hoping that I can burn off most of the calories by eating the snacks I brought. I'm also at an indoor waterpark which means stairs and swimming! Surely I can't pack on too many pounds.

NSV: Someone said my face looks thinner. First compliment so far.

Way to go all of this weeks losers! Hopefully next Sunday I will be joining you Hope everyone is behaving themselves this week!

Hi ladies,
Sorry to be quiet. Hard drive on my computer failed last night, so brought that to the store to be repaired. Hopefully my backup has all the necessary information-like our weigh in spreadsheet. aCk!!
This week in the 52 small changes book, it is focusing on food journaling. This is something that I was quite vigilant about as I started my life changing journey. Now I trust myself & believe that I will make good food choices and have a good idea of serving sizes. So while I don't journal now, it is a valuable tool.
The week is flying by. Work is keeping me busy as I get ready to launch a new ( well- revamped) website, so lots of fine tuning to do.
The scale is looking promising as TOM is heading out the door.

Anyone have any NSV's (non- scale victories) to share/ inspire??

Wuv- want to share more about this ideal protein plan??

I excited to report that I pulled my weight this week losing 6lbs!!!!!....I am super excited I also loss 5 inches this week. So I am short 2 days to making 9 months on the Ideal Protein Program and have loss 124lbs and 82 inches over all (hips, breast, thorax, waist, arm and thigh). I have gone from a size 36 pants to a loose size 24, Bra a VERY FULL 54DD to a 42C, and shirts from a tight 5x to a 2x almost in an XL. This has been the best 9 months in my life. I have 13lbs left to go to reach my original goal of 250lbs, once I hit that I will continue to my next and final goal of 200lbs!!.....I want to be there by my one year anniversary of being on Ideal Protein.

Mel you asked about Ideal Protein, this program is very strict but the results are amazing, I am living proof that IF you stick to the program that you will see results. What this program does is puts your pancreas to sleep so its not producing insulin so it makes your body burn your fat. Its a packaged meal program I will give you an example of my daily intake. I only eat between 800-900 cals a day limited carbs and sugars. No more than 30-40 carbs a day IF that! I drink 4-5 liters of water a day, I haven't had a soda since I have began the program, I add MIO (water flavoring) to my water so its just plain water all the time.

Breakfast - apple cinnamon soy puffs, 2 cups of coffee
Lunch - shake/pudding, 2 cups a veggies (cucumber) and a salad(optional)
Dinner - 8 oz of meat (chicken, steak or fish), 2 cups of veggies and a salad (optional)
Snack - pudding/shake

There are over 70 different products to choose from so there is always a variety. I never eat the same thing twice!! I hope everyone has a FANTASTIC WEEK!!!
