Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope today is a great OP day for all of us "loosers" out there.

GM IPeeps .... Happy June'teenth (if you don't know look it up!)


Water is my baby daddy this week ... ! Im gettin it in... I hope you do to


keep it won'hunnid.

Haha, a terrific Tuesday! I love 2 daily chat threads. Happy Days, all. Drink your water, and eat your salads....loose the weight!
I'm going to run over to the thrift store tonight and get a few things. Fun! Then when they get too big, I'm happy to give them away.

You betta get it, girl!!! Did you go to the Juneteenth Celebrations this weekend? I missed them because of the IP Seminar.

I sure did ... it was a June'teenth/graduation cookout. and I stayed 100%% OP. I got down with the grilled salmon, grilled chicken and lots of salad.

Foxxy ... I noticed we have similar goal ... Wishing you the best sistah'.

I shooting for 150 ... I see you shooting for 160... get that!

I have been doing water aerobics 2-3 days a week and on the days of more activity I have a huge appetite. I eat all my veggies and protein and still end up going over the packet and restricted item limit. Not sure it is true hunger, just want to be snacking on something. Any suggestions on how to beat the munchies

Well I am finally feeling back to myself after being sick since Thursday Hopped on the scale this morning to see how things were going (I was OP but did have probably more than what would be the allowed 'extras' in sugar-free cough drops) and I am down quite a bit this week so that is good. Bummed though I am going to miss my WI this week because I have a banquet to go to ... But I will do an "official" weigh in for my own purposes this Wednesday anyway I think just to keep on track.

Hope everyone has a great OP day!!!

Good Tuesday morning everyone, here's hoping everyone with WI's today are big losers. My WI is tomorrow evening, I don't think I lost too much this week (lost 4 lbs. last week) so if anyone knows where that darn Whoosh Fairy is could you please send her to me I could use her this week. Welcome to all the newbies, just stick to the plan and the weight will come off just look at everyone's progress. Those who weigh themselves every morning (like me) don't stress if your weight goes up and down it is normal, and for gosh sakes if you do stress over it stay off the scale. Here's wishing everyone a great OP day.

FYI - there are 2 IP Chat Tuesday 19, 2012, it is a bit confusing which one do you post on?

Happy Juneteenth!

I am going to the thrift store tomorrow to donate a bunch of things. I have a friend is also on IP losing so I have been getting her too big clothes so should be good for a while..

I have read that if you are doing aerobics and such you can have 1/2 a packet b4 and the other 1/2 after exercise totaling 1 extra packet a day. Are you still losing weight?

Glad you are feeling better! I am sure your scale shows a loss!

Shutting this down. I did not see there was another daily already going!
