Does anyone have an IP provider in the Austin area who allows them to just pick up food? Not weigh in, measure, ext every single week? I did IP pre baby and my provider is no longer in business so now I am in search of a new provider, but really do not want to pay the start up cost again

Atxhisname - have you thought about using alternative products while following the IP protocol? You can by many comparable foods through Nashua Nutrition or Diet Direct (among others). I just switched to ProtiDiet products, Quest chips and Pure Protein bars (not all bars/products meet IP requirments). Check out the Alternative thread - it might be really helpful for you to order online, especially if you have a little one at home:
