  • This was on the second page of thread!!!!....GRRRRR....NEW threads are being opened with questions that can be answered in the DAILY chat!....grrrrrrrr
  • Count me in! I'm a lurker on the boards but sure could use some accountability. Thanks for doing this! Let the challenge bring good things to all!!!
  • This is my very first challenge.....good luck everyone!
  • Day 6 is officially over!! I am off to bed soon, and feel great. Those first few days were rough. Foggy, dizzy, irritable, headache!!! I am sleeping now without my ambien and feeling energetic!! I had the dark chocolate pudding for a snack tonigt and it was great!! I added cinnamon, vanilla, and a touch of stevia. Loving that I am finding that some of the foods are appealing to me. But only a few, so anyone know if it matters if I only choose a few to use until I get sick of them?? And anyone know if Annies all natural Sesame Shitake dressing is OK?? It has 1 carb/1 sugar per 2 TBLS and I would have a teaspoon probably. Hope everyone is doing awesome!!
  • I just saw this and I am in!
  • Bump.
  • I'm in! I need the accountability and encouragement. I need this accomplishment so much in my life!
  • Thanks for the starting the new challenge Wuv, I am lowering my goal weight and I need this challenge to help me stay on track
  • I'm a newbie, but I am up for the challenge!
  • Quote: I still sleep so well and I am into it 14 1/2 weeks. I was not a good sleeper before IP and am worried I will go back to not sleeping well when I am off.
    Just had my first WI, and made mention of the quality of my sleep this past week - my coach tells me that it's due to the Calcium-Magnesium. She suggests taking it before bedtime to continue to benefit from this side effect. I found that really interesting!! Here's an article that provides more details:

    SomI just tried to enter my weight loss since it's WI day and It didn't carry over to the total weight loss during challenge. Let me know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks

    Well, I just checked it and it looked fine and like it carried thru properly.
    Perhaps someone else fixed it.

    Are we using the dates as kind of "week ending"?
    So May 7 is for all the weigh ins up to May 7?
    (So a May 2 weigh in goes in the May 7 column?)
    That's what it looks like people are doing. I hate it when I overthink things.

    Thanks for the article. The way I eat my snack (10:30 am) I save all my cal mags or dinner. This could be why I sleep so good!

    That's how I read it so we could enter this week's. Thanks or checking it out or me. I want to make sure my iny little weight loss counts...
  • I will have to enter my weight on the 8th in the am, I could not get an appointment until then. But I got all Monday mornings after next week.
