Thanks so much for the advice/ thoughts. I will be sure to take my potassium and sea salt daily. I admit the sea salt intake has been lacking a bit, I'm not typically a "salt" user...so need to be mindful of this.

Speaking of faces Wuv! Yours is the great American shrinking face!! Love the new picture!! You lost those last 5 lbs last week off your face! You are so inspiring!!! And beautiful too.

Ok so figured out how to get a picture in my signature but it is huge. I will try to find a program to resize it and will change it once I do. This picture is from my 40th birthday in August 2011...pretty much the same weight I started IP at on April 6, 2012. I had been desperately stuck at that weight and couldn't get it to budge despite my very active lifestyle and what I thought was a very healthy eating habit. (This picture is taken at the top of a mountain...I wanted to climb St. Mary's Peak for my 40th and conquer it...I did it! I am doing it again this year and probably far more comfortably.) I know know I was balanced...that would make me think I am going to rock maintenance. Anyways this is the most current picture I have that isn't me in my Viking SCA garb. My apron dress really hides me.....so I opted to share this one. I will take current pictures when I hit my 1/2 way there point...probably 2 weeks out...I hope!

Got it resized! Have a wonderful OP day everyone!

Ishbel how are you doing in maintenance? Is it hard to find the balance? I am very nervous about maintenance and being able to keep the weight off. Even though I have been eating the phase 1 way for 4 months I still look at it as a diet and that it will end and I will be able to eat again later. That thinking has kept me op this long. but now that I am nearing goal I feel I better change my attitude to keep this weight off in fear of going back to my old eating habits.


Sewingmomma, northernfawn.. I love your new pics. Everyone is looking great!

Cadu...your newest profile picture is WOW! You are looking great too!!!

Happy Tuesday, boy the pics that are being posted are astounding! The changes are jaw dropping, you guys look sooooo good I need to take some head shots to post online Have a great day everyone!

Love seeing you! Great picture! Love seeing my new friends!

I, too worry about maintenance; phase one is so easy really you don't have to think. I want to stay phase one forever! I like seeing your before picture but I bet you are looking pretty hot about now; would love to see a NOW picture of you!

I love seeing all the faces too! Especially you "au naturale" you are truly a beauty, Lisa!!

Amen to that one! I do not want to go back to the past eating habits more than anything! I was super depressed when food was controlling me and have been so much happier having control on this program (except the bars lol). Love you and wish you the very best!! You are such an inspiration.

Love seeing you! You are such a ray of Sunshine!!

What a great morning seeing new pictures of people! It just feels like I know you when I can see your faces! This is great, keep the pictures coming.
Speaking of pictures I don't seem to have the right program for putting my pictures side by side. Carol or Wuv could I impose on either of you to do it for me for the latest pic I put in my Avatar?
Thanks everyone! Love you!

Darralyn email me all 3 pics.

Hee hee heee Wuv beat me to it.

Hi everyone!!

For breakfast I added a Tbsp of WF Chocolate syrup to my cappuccino drink mix & it was FANTASTIC!!!

My question is... Is WF only to be used on "occasion" and/or treats? Even though it is 0/0/0 ~ It makes the drinks sooooooo good it's making me nervous

Thanks & have a great day

Thanks so much Wuv & by the way YOU look AWESOME!!!
