To see what you missed yesterday: Thursday, 24 February 2011

Good morning friends! I just wanted to thank everyone who answered my numbers question yesterday. Your wonderful thoughts and advice really put things in perspective for me. Instead of feeling uncomfortable when asked, I am going to smile and say I have lost more than I ever dreamed possible.

.

I dont tell everyone willbe, I am to ashamed for them to calculate how much I must have weighed and how I let myself get like that. So I try to be positive and say oh, a little bit, then they ask me what did I do, I say I joined a gym and started to eat more healthy, thats about it.

They always say, way to go, I need to do that too, then they feel guilty and start thinking that they should change things too in their life, so then I am off the topic of interest lol.

Good morning!
well my scales not moving but the inches are going!! I feel thinner! yeah!!

Here is to another wonderful IP day. Keep up the good work and carry it into the weekend. GIT R DUN!

Morning everyone. Have a terrific OP weekend. We need a change in the weather in Alberta and for more than one day. Saturday is supposed to be nice and then back into the deep freeze....brrrrrr!

Can't believe it is Friday already!!! Colder then cold here -32 C, that is without the windchill!

Yay to all the NSV and weight losses this week. Everyone is doing a great job of keeping on track or getting back on track. Even though i don't post much, I am reading everyday. Lots of good advise and encouragement from everyone. Thank you.

First week WI on phase 2 was a loss of 3 pounds. I have lowered my goal weight in anticipation of the gain back of 3-5 lbs when I move into the other phases. On to week 2!!!

Have a great day everyone.

Good Morning All~ Happy Friday! Cheers to all the NSV and SV happening today and throughout the weekend! Wishing everyone great success today!

So happy it's Friday!!! Missed WI this morning going to try and go tomorrow morning....I don't think I lost and pounds but I notice the inches i have lost since most of my work clothes are not fitting. So the question is do I buy new clothes or not?

I hope everyone had a great day and I look forward to reading all of the NSVs and SVs........

Happy Friday!! Have a great weekend

Well yesterday was the 4 week mark and i am down 12.5lbs and 12 inches.
i am soooo excited now for summer for 2 reasons, 1. i hope not to feel as self consious in shorts! and its freezing here again! need some heat badly..
have a great weekend everyone.

Morning, ya'll! Had a couple pieces of thin-cut fried bass last night, and while I wish I didn't, I'm not going to stress about it. I know it didn't throw me out of ketosis, but it made me feel so sick from the grease.

So, today I'm going with the vanilla pudding/coffee drink that I adore, tomato soup that I spice up to suit my cajun palate, asparagus, kale chips, a blueberry-pom drink, and I'm thinking a small, delicious steak for dinner with grilled peppers, green onions, zucchini, and tomatoes. Mmm.

OMG YES! And my hormones...well, I can go from one extreme to the next. I swear, it's as bad as being pregnant. And PMS. Awful. And I absolutely know I'm not pregnant!

Well said. I just finished learning it. I hope it got through my thick skull, though.

OMG whatever you took last night, you are freaking hilarious!!! Especially fatass ***! And yes. Best weigh in EVER this week! Bring it!

Great advice! I don't mind telling people how much I've lost, but won't share what I still have to go. I really like the advice to say "Yeah. Lookin' good, right?" LMAO!

Fantastic! What an awesome loss, enjoy week 2 of phase 2!

When you need new clothes, buy new clothes. I feel so much better about myself when I'm not wearing something too big! Plus, it keeps me on track.

Funny how little things can make such a big difference. I found a purple insulated mug that holds 34 oz. at the hardware store, it is even shaped right to fit into the cup holder of my prius. I'm planning on my right arm becoming buff from lifting it throughout the day. One big bulging muscle!

I am all for getting clothes that fit. Clothes that are too big are sloppy and you need to feel great! I am getting my clothes at the consignment store. I know this size will only be temporary so after I grow out of them I either give them to someone else, or give them to the goodwill.
I'm not buying new until I get to 150 then I'm heading to Dallas and going on a shopping spree.
I'm going to start a fund. Each pound lost must be worth something. HOW MUCH?

Whoo hoo!! Good for you!
It is -32 with windchill here today! I am going for WI # 7 this evening..wish me luck!!

Thank you!! I ordered 6 more boxes of IP stuff! I set a $ limit on products I would buy and I am there now, so I better stick to the protocol and "git r dun" (as Juiceman would say) because I am not spending any more money on IP products. I am going to try the caramel bar - yummy - can't wait!!

Good luck on your weigh in!!!
