Good morning everyone hope you all have a great Monday.

Happy Monday, all!
WE were able to turn off the AC and open the windows last night, it was heavenly to let the wind blow through the house. I planted some lettuce as a fall "crop" haha, I could eat all I planted in 1 sitting. I'm hoping that planting it close to the house, I should get some harvest before we get a freeze in Nov.
NSV- my clothes in the closet are growing! More things for the give away pile!
I am so thankful! 20 more pounds to go!

Good morning all. It is a lovely 42 degrees here and the smoke has blown out a bit, so it is quite lovely. Off to work with the sunroof open. Yay. Hope you all have a great day...



I just learned how to use these things...

good morning..hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning all! Just finished reading all the weekend daily chat posts. It was a busy weekend, and I only had a chance to check it briefly Sunday am.

It's so much easier to stay on top of the daily chat thread here at work =)

Good morning all! I just started IP today but have been lurking on this board forever (and posted a question awhile ago and you were all so helpful!)

It's cooled down here in Michigan too. I love the fall weather! Pulled out the fall smelling candles last night. Cheap thrills.. heheh.

Have a great Monday everyone!

Happy Monday!
I was out of town all day yesterday. I was freaking out a bit cause it would be the first time I have eaten in a restaurant since starting IP.
I had a salad at Subway, it was awesome - cost $5.50 - later we went for dinner at White Spot. I was specific with my ordering....a tossed salad w/a plain grilled chicken breast & a black coffee.
I was SHOCKED when my bill came to $16! The "bit" of chicken breast couldn't have been more then 3 oz (it was tiny) & the salad consisted mainly of lettuce.
I was proud of myself that I had no problem staying OP. I finally feel as though I have some control & it feels good!

It is going to be a great week everyone, I feel it in the crisp cool air!

Today marks day 60 of IP and 19lbs lighter!

Despite a day 1 cheat last week--see previous post about Zac from Zac Brown band offering me a drink (Jack and DC)--I am down another 1.4lbs.

A few NSVs:
1.I am wearing a size 6 dress today that I haven't been able to fit into for years...and it is loose on top!
2. My local Shop Rite sells WF tomato basil and garlic herb pasta sauces AND I found fresh rhubarb there as well!!!

I started going back to the gym last week...my body fat % has not changed for a few weekS. What is with that? Any solutions to see it budge?

Good Morning everyone! Looking forward to a nice Monday and the upcoming fall weather! Hoping for another productive weight loss week!

Also, welcome to all of the new folks!

i was a little bit distracted this morning... i left the house without my pants!! im wearing a dress that comes to mid thigh which is a little shorter than I am comfortable with, so I wear legging type pants. However, I have Mastiff type dogs who are very sloobery so I dont put the leggings on first thing. Today I realized i had not put them on at all when i sat down in my car. brrr. cold leather Oh well, at least i caught it before i got all the way to work.

Good Morning Ipers. After a nice long weekend of our huge fair and wedding planning I am down another 2.6 lbs..... almost to 60 lbs lost.... wahoo. Walked around the fair with DH and although was tempted by the funnel cakes, I was actually discusted with the stand that was literally all fried food including a deep fried krispy kreme dognut cheeseburger. Gag..... I packed some snacks like a bar, and some zuc chips I made to taste like apple pie chips. My DH found me something to eat. One of the stands is a big huge burger stand. They make a plane burger cooked on onions. So I held the cooked onions and ate half the burger minus the bun. It let me feel like I got fair food without the bad juju stuff. Life is looking pretty good right now. I am supprised with my WI this morning just as TOM comes again.



Today's Quote:

way to go on making good choices at the fair AND for another gret loss this week!!!
