To see what big losses, NSVs, and inspiring stories you missed yesterday: Thursday, 17 February 2011 and partial Friday, 18, February 2011

Good morning! I saw posts in another thread where it was mentioned to get weight loss moving (if you are in a stall) by doing IP boot camp OR adding an IP packet daily for a few days. Just wanted to do a poll to see what has worked best for the veterans here. Thanks and hope everyone has a successful IP weekend!

For the months I've been around some people swear by it and see a difference in their losses. I didn't see any difference in my losses. (Mine were always slow). Every one is different the best you can do is try it for a week and see if it makes a difference.

Wow Couts you only have 24lbs till you are at goal!! Congratulations!

I have removed all of the spoons from my house....GONE! Not really, but hope you get my desire to stay OP and Spoon Free toady. Sometimes you just gotta get it out. I was feeling so guilty, yuck.. Confessing helps me move forward on a fresh note. So today I will take my supplements with two bottles of water, then an hour or so later a crushed iced chocolate drink. Yum, I just love that I can have that so early in the morning. My lunchtime fav is the Blueberry Pom drink...I have that with lots of crushed ice and 2 cups-o-veggies. Snack will be the ever-do delightful vanilla peanut bar (best part of my day right there) I'll have my recently roasted turkey over 2 cups of veggies. Still hoping I can sweep me- err's under the table and have some results on Monday's WI. Increase the water and hope for the best is all I can do at this point! I am feeling strong today. Chin up, and I'm out! Wishing everyone great Friday and the will power to stay true and OP! Cheers!

Had WI today and down another 2lbs......super excited......

I know I have read on one of the threads about the Big C and what can be taken....does anyone have any recomendations that is not an IP product? Thanks......Happy Friday... and GOOD LUCK!!

Just placed my first Walden Farms order... used a coupon I found online for Buy 5, get 5 free. Don't know that would be considered a good -coupon, but I used it and it worked. If anyone is interested the coupon code was ww-q111-05, Not even sure if I'm allowed to say this or not, would someone confirm we can or cannot share this info?

Congrats on the 2lb! A great weigh to start your day! I've added colace to my daily supplement regime. Its not a stimulant but rather a "softener" that helps keep things going in the right direction. Hope that hepls!

Good morning IP friends, and Happy Friday! Just finished my first article for a new blog I'm working with about doing Disney as a single parent...keeping that goal in mind! Once there, I plan to stay on phase 3 or 4 (oh, how I hope I'll be there by then...the end of September, 7 months from now!), and will be writing about Disney on a "diet." Exciting!

I think I'm going to try the IP boot camp...nervous making, but weekends are the best time for me to start anything! I'm dealing with the big C and TOM, too, so hopefully when those are done, we'll see some movement again!

....uhm, that should have been, "Hope that helps!" not hepls, not even sure what a hepls is...ha!

Tomorrow is the dayyyyyyyy! OLD fat clothes will be GONE from my closet. I was in a tight 18 !!! what????? now in a loose loose 14... so will keep the 14's as I move into 12's... everything else will be G O N E........ this gives me more motivation too. Everyone that PREVIOUSLY did this diet here at work said, 'oh one day when you stop all that weight will come back on' I hate hearing that. My thinking is WHY would you let it? especially if you know how to eat now...and how to NOT combine certain foods together. I just do not understand

Did you order right from the Walden Farms site???

Who is that babe in your avatar pic!?!?! You look STUNNING!!!!!!!!!

Happy Friday to you all...here is to a weekend full of OP for everyone!!

NSV..walked in to get my hair done and my hairdresser said you've lost weight and as I got closer she said WOW you have lost a lot of weight. Felt great, last time I went there was 6 weeks ago right before I started IP and I've lost 21.5 pounds since then. WEEEE WHOOOOO!!!

oh BOY hahahhahahha thank you! you are too kind .......... its one of the dresses i bought from Bikini Village. A place I had mentioned that i would NEVER ever had entered even to browse before IP..........
