Wow! that is awesome! you are very close to your goal! Congrats

I can really identify with some of your NSVs. Yesterday, I suddenly noticed that my rings, watch, and health bracelet are looser. Also my shoes! LOL.

Also I was at my local health food store buying stevia on Saturday, and the clerk (who I haven't seen since I started this protocol) was staring at me. She knows me fairly well as we've chatted in the past, and said 'you look different... what have you had done?' I started laughing, and said 'well - since I last saw you, I've lost close to 25 lbs.....' and she immediately said how good I was looking. Healthier and happier. So true.

I've been storing some of my 'skinny clothes' in a suitcase, and went through the clothes earlier this am. Several pairs of summer slacks size 12-14 I now fit into perfectly! Been a few years, so I'm very pleased.

Yesterday was my 'go to Toronto' day so I was off early in the am and not back until 7:30pm... then dinner, then a visit with relatives and the day just got away from me. But I stayed 100% OP.

And - yay me - today's WI shows me down -2 lbs!! That's 25 pounds officially gone now. I get to add another Happy Clapper below.

I hope all of you have a great 100% OP day. If you're affected by this current heat wave (as I am) stay as cool as you can and thoroughly hydrated.

I'm meeting Willsmashfat later today and going to Costco with her! Really looking forward to meeting her. It was really nice of her to offer this arrangement, and let me shop for Pure Protein RTDs, etc., on her Costco membership.

Good morning IP'ers (which I think is suitable because of all the water we're drinking! teehee)
Today's day 13....finding it hard to believe i've been clean for so many days. It has been surprisingly easy. I just have to plan ahead, if I keep doing that - I am good!
Yesterday someone suggested I have a pickle before bed to help with my leg cramps...it worked! No cramp in sight last night YIPEE!!! I am so grateful to have found this forum.
I am also very happy that my scale weighs a couple of pounds higher then the scale my coach uses.
Happy Wednesday! Remember that saying "nothing tastes as good as thin feels."

Good morning everyone! Had my first WI yesterday and was down 10 lbs. Wow! Thanks for all your tips! Congratulations on all your successes!

My official weigh in at the clinic was -5 lbs!!! Yay!

I didn't get all my water in yesterday, and I didn't eat all my protein at dinner (but I probably ate about 4 oz). I went to bunco last night, so it threw my evening all off. I did not eat a thing. I watched everyone eat yummy foods and cheesecake and drink wine. I felt totally fine with it, too

Hope everyone has a great day!

OK, once again I just don't seem to be able to get the idea of how to multi-quote, though the rest of y'all seem to do just fine. The quoting link at the top of the thread each day isn't about quoting so H.E.L.P.

Today is weighin 3, just two more hours. Hope I do better than than the 2.5 last week, coach wants at least 3-4 each week, but my body just won't respond.

I've been 100% for 3 weeks except for Sunday. It wasn't carbs that got me Sunday, it was an extra hamburger patty (96/4) beyond my allowed. I looked up the stats on the extra meat and decided to forgo my last shake for the day, but ever since then I've wondered if I have sabotaged my diet.

Fantastic WI!!!!

Way to go, I see you are almost to your goal, keep truckin.

Hang in there darcrusta! I have days like this, and can't even blame it on TOM. I hope your WI goes great, and you feel better.

Sometimes I just have to let it pass. Maybe a walk outside or some great music will lift your spirits. But if not, tommorrow will be better.

Congrats on the 10 lb. loss, keep going and keep checking this board as it is full of information and encouragement.

WI #2 - 6lbs & 2 more inches of belly gone.

That's a total of 13lbs in 14 days

Hi,

I used to always be hot & want the air conditioning as low as my husband could stand it... Since my 2nd week on IP I get chilled easy & think the air set @ 77 or 78 degrees is just perfect!!!!

Has anyone else gotten "colder"?????

Thanks & have a GREAT IP Day

I'm fairly new myself, but I would guess that you didn't sabotage your diet with that one hamburger patty, especially since you kind of ate it in place of a shake. Don't beat yourself up!!!
