    Chocolate Pancakes: My coach actually told me they weren't good, so I didn't bother. Seeing a poster say they are gross reiterates my fear of trying them. Really hate to waste a meal!!

    I wonder if anybody had any surgery while on protocol? I need to have hysterectomy and I'm not so worried about the surgery (yes indeed I am but what's going to happen for my weight loss ? I really want to lose my weight and have been doing well so far ...

I couldn't even drink the one I prepared last night (peach/mango).

    So needless to say - I'm starving. I'm seriously thinking of breaking down and having a restricted bar.
    I am addicted to the chocolate drink I make minty hot chocolate (peppermint stevia liquid) tastes like hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps. I add decaf instant starbucks italian roast coffee, starbucks mocha hot or cold. I do not care for the other drinks, mango peach, pom, pina colada etc. I'm right there with you.

    I make muffins with the chocolate pancakes. I use the mini muffin tins it makes 6. Add just enough water to make thick batter. Make sure you full the empty muffin holes with water. I bake them for 10 mins at 350

I looked down and saw my legs and thought "damn, whose legs are those? They look good!". I heart IP. And you guys.
    YAY! Those are YOUR legs haha
    I remember the first time I looked down and saw my feet instead of my "belly". Great feeling isn't it?

    Yup, me too! You guys rock!

    So I finally did it! I posted my progress photos! I wish I had some of me looking nice and a face shot, but I took pictures every Sunday, in the same bra and panties for my entire journey so far! I posted side views of week 1, 6, and 15. I also took front views and back views!

    Nsv!
    I went to my grandmother's 91st bday party yesterday, AND spent the night with her. ... and did NOT fall off the IP wagon!!! typically, any visit to her house at all totally derails my healthy eating plans. There 's just too much food, and she doesn't really like to hear that i don't want to eat it. This time there was so much delicious food for her birthday (i won't go into it- but all of my homemade faves that i can't get unless i'm visiting. and i live HOURS away. plus not one, but two cakes) i'm so proud of myself! i really didn't think i was capable of turning down all that stuff. woohoooo!

    Darbs- your pictures rock -- you are just so dang pretty -- very inspirational--

    Thanks all you picture posters - it takes courage and I applaud you for it -- you all make me know I can do this and that someday I will stop telling my husband to only take pictures of me above the neck (ha, ha, ha)-- which is really hard with an infant - needless to say we have some awkwardly posed family pictures
