Yesterday I was looking at them laying there and my head was trying to tell me that I wanted one SO BAD! But then I stopped and listened to my body, and it could really care less! My sugar cravings are almost gone now and it's just my habits I need to kick in the butt!

It's an amazing feeling now to know when I am hungry and when I am not, and when I am actually hungry I'm craving a real meal, not just my next sugar fix. I never thought I would be able to change that!

Knowing this will make going to the movies tonight without a big box of candy so much easier!

Hope everyone has a great day and stay strong!
Great job!! The mental part is such a huge victory!

Today marks my first week on IP. I was really strict and was thrilled to discover this morning that I lost 8 pounds my first week! I started out at 184. My goal is 130. I know the weight isn't going to come off that quickly every week, but it was really motivating for me to keep going!

Looking forward to "meeting" the other regulars here!
Welcome!!

Awesome job, Jordanna! And welcome back.

NSV here...I saw a friend of mine at the gym, who I hadn't seen in a few months. She came up to me and told me that it took her about 3 minutes to realize who I was when I walked in and said I look great! That felt so good!

Last night I tried kohlrabi, I sliced it up like fries and baked it in the oven like the turnip fries. I really liked it. Am going to have to again. little salt and pepper and they were good.

I just had to tell you all, that I'm in complete SHOCK!!
My niece started IP 2 weeks ago, and her pants are now hanging on her..so we went to Kohls to find her a new pair of jeans.
Well..just for the heck of it..not thinking there would be ANY chance that they'd fit, I tried on 10s..so I tried on 2 other brands of 10s..and ALL of them fit!!! I fit into 10s in 3 different brands.

I always wondered what the heck to do with it! Maybe next time I get one, from the neighbors garden, I won't look at it like it's from mars! I tried doing it in salad (web recipe) it was AWFUL!!!

Minewgoal - that is great, isn't it fun just trying on clothes now we don't have to shop in the big girls stores now. I also hope you bought at least one pair.

Ladies at agility tonight all wanted to know about IP. Next week I hand them all out the information I have. I think what got them was I told them that you don't really crave for anything after the first week. They were a little shocked at that. We will see next week how many really want the info.

you are still doing the week of no restricted right? wait until that is done, that is why I stopped weighing at home you start getting anxious and worried are you doing the right thing, etc... relax and let the diet work. It may not be as fast as you want but. you didn't gain all the weight fast either. Breath Jo, relax and take it easy until your WI. My challenge to you is not to weigh yourself again until after your WI this week.

What size are you wearing? Just curious
It is Crazy how different each person carries their weight.
