My Mom told me I could order anything I wanted for dinner & I just went about my business and made my hamburger steak, some tomatoes on the side & 1 boiled egg white. It was filling and scrumptious to say the least. I HAVE THIS! I'm not going to let 2 months go down the drain NOW. I'm feeling AMAZING and I'm looking so much better too! I'm IN this to WIN this!

*PS: I made the 'cupcake' recipe last night and it was meh. Mine just did not turn out right lol but I ate them anyway. I switched it up a little tonight though. I added some more chocolate syrup, not a whole lot just like 1tsp more and a little dash of water; which helped immensely. They tasted good last night but were so dry I kept choking LOL.

Tonight's results: AMAZING. Taste just like chocolate cake/brownies. That's exactly what I needed. Mmmmmm delicious

Also, to all the new comers. You CAN do this! You just have to WANT it! It will fly by after the first couple weeks, trust me. I do not feel like I've been on this almost 2 months. I didn't honestly think I'd make it past the 1st month before I started; but once you start seeing the difference and FEELING the difference; you're hooked! Keep on truckin' along!
Great post Miranda. I've been struggling (yet staying on program) too. Your positive attitude is inspiring

Your beautiful pictures are a HUGE part of keeping my motivated on my IP journey. Every time I see them I am reminded that I CAN lose this weight, so thanks for that!

For anyone ordering (or reordering) Miracle Noodles:

I just found a 10% off coupon code and used it to place a big order: fb10

I tried the spinach angel hair before, and liked it once I started boiling it for a minute or 2 before adding to my soup. This time I ordered the black shitaki pasta, the regular variety pack, and more of the spinach version.

I may try the Amazon.com automatic shipment once I figure out which versions I like best.

5 lbs was better than my week 1 (I lost 4), and we are at about the same place stat wise. I fell off plan this week which will end up being a waste with probably no loss on the scale (we'll know on Sunday, sigh), but I am back on with a vengance and hope to catch up to your stats soon!

You go girl!! The weight loss feels so much better than the cheats could taste.

I also love your posts - motivating and many are so highly informative.

Missed a few pages and a day or so, so missed the4 opp to tell you your new picture is gorgeous!

funny you said that. I get that comment alllll the time "i could never do what your doing, I dont have the will power" it might sound ugly or rude but what I think in my head is "well if losing weight was easy no one would be overweight" of course I dont say it. And if you want something bad enough its really not to bad of a sacrifice. I will have been on the program 2 months tomorrow and half way to my goal weight! I SHOULD be at my goal by memorial day weekend sporting a super cute bathing suit!!! excited!!!
