Great, great stories that make me smile!!

I used to hold back on making my family's favorite foods because I didn't want to eat the pie, spaghetti, breaded chicken, etc. But now I will make anything they want and mix in the healthy vegetable choices as well. They are Loving IP as much as I am!

HaHaHa! That is my mantra in life!

I went back to work after a two week holiday and people are finally noticing. People are asking me what the heck I have been doing to look so good. Being such a shorty, you would think someone would have noticed sooner. I had been expecting a comment from co-workers weeks ago. I don't require external validation on a regular basis but it is nice to be noticed after losing 27lbs in less than 3 months. I thought my pants would have to actually fall off before someone finally noticed..lol...

I got called "Skinny Minny" by 3 different people today!!!! Never in my pre-IP life could I be accused of being skinny!!

What a FABULOUS feeling that has to be!!! Way to go!!!

I have suffered from 1-2 sometimes 3 migraines per week. After the first week, I don't think I have even had 1 a week!

A few positive things for the thread: I can feel my hip bones, especially when I lay on my back. Before, you couldn't even tell I had hip bones when I was laying down.

My backbone is so boney I bruised it by leaning back on a bench. No fat to pad it!

You are skinny!!! And gorgeous!!!

I have a butterfly tattoo and my DH used to tell me that it looks like a Teradactelle(bad spelling) and this morning he told me that it looks like a butterfly again.

NSV - the darn scale won't move but I SEE a difference. Muffin top is now just a slight spill over. My arms look smaller than since I can remember... clothes that were too tight now fit. Im motivated to exercise again and can't wait for my new gym to open! It's ALL good!

Thanks!

Thank you so much...you made my morning!

Same here...I'm a migraine sufferer on daily migraine meds who still got them way too frequently before IP. After Day 2, I haven't had one!

Not sure whether or not to call this a non-scale victory, but for sure it's a non-scale observation... riding 5 hours, each way, in the car from Texas to Oklahoma City last week was really hard on my tail bone!.. not as much padding back there as there used to be!.. oh, well, the sacrifices we have to make!!!..

hugs

I think it is! I drove back and forth to Seattle a few weeks ago and noticed the same thing. How do skinny people do long road trips? My rear was KILLING me when we were almost home.

Congratulations! I finally felt my waist this week, the first time in a long time.

Great positives you all!

I like my thighs now. Especially in profile, there's a nice curvy muscle look front and back!

Thinking of everyone here had me have my lettuce tonight instead of another packet. I really wasn't hungry. Yay you folks! Yay me!

and ... bump!
