redmom:. I am in Sioux Falls and we take I90 to Blue Earth or Wyndom then head North from there. We are actually staying in Mayer which is a cute, sleepy little town about 30 miles from Minneapolis.

Just checking in, taking a night off the bike building, which feels really good for a change in speed. Well I'm off to do anything not motorcycle related, night all and see you tomorrow! Oh and whoever was talking about a get together, I'd totally go, even if it was in Canadia!

Kaypix - I am in SF about every week. I knew you were in SD but didn't know it was SF. I grew up there, and now live about 2 hrs away near Huron. My mom is selling her house so I have been helping her move and all that fun stuff. I always thought you looked familiar. I've probably seen you around!

Quick question. I keep forgetting to take my supplements at supper time and sometimes take all 4 cal mags within an hour of eachother. Is this ok? It is better than skipping them, right?

Congratulations on you'd loss, that's great. I was thinking about NovaScents,
I haven't seen her on the boards lately. I hope she didn't fall off the wagon.

I was thinking the same thing about Mamacita.

Here's a shout out to old friends: You are missed!

My WI was today: down 2 pounds. I am happy, but it sure seems like onederland is being elusive. 8 more pounds. I reallllllllly want to speed them along, but I'm on plan, so I don't know what more to do. My coach suggested increasing to 4 packets and walking, so I am going to have to try to figure out a time to work that in my schedule.

Thank you, I know that I should KNOW that, but when you are having symptoms you get scared. Thanks again... headache still hasnt cleared up, it must be my sinuses.

I have been struggling lately as well, I think it is because I am getting so close to goal. Maybe we could help eachother with this. I imagine we live pretty close, we could call and chat about what we are struggling with and help eachother make a game plan. PM me if you are interested.

Wooohooo!!!
Your doing great! Those numbers are really good
Just keep coming back to this site and reading the posts, it will help

Im so excited for you!! You are awesome, you will probably be the best coach they have in no time!!

I am SOOO proud of you!!!

Hi Jenni, that was an awesome WI!!! Welcome to the board

I would say that it is better than not taking them at all. I do this sometimes too and it hasnt affect my weight loss yet.

Congrats on you WI! If you get break time at work you could walk during those. I get two breaks throughout the day and I use them to walk. I also use my lunch to walk if it is a busy day and I might not get a break.
Her idea to increase your intake is good. I hope it works out for you

The headache that started yesterday still hasnt gone away completely. Other than that my day has gone by really fast for a Monday, must be because I was so busy!
My son turned 11 today, my little man is growing up!!

My daughter turns 13 on July 27, she is growing up toooooo fast.

I found a new app that you can get for your phone that is pretty funny!! Just go to Prankdial.com Oh man did we have fun with that one!! It calls the person you want using a fake phone number and then plays a recording that is meant to sound like someone having a conversation with you. Totally fooled my DF with it, he wont live that one down anytime soon.

Lately I have been struggling with knowing how close I am to P2... Has anyone else been there? Knowing that is going to be happening soon and then struggling with crazy cravings because of it. Some of the cravings could be from TOM though... UGH!

Happy Birthday to your son! My daughter turned 10 yesterday. It was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooo hard not to eat cake and the candy from all the goody bags. Then we had a sleepover and they had a cupcake design contest. I ate my strawberry wafers and said a prayer!! Today at the movies, part 2 of the sleepover, I had too bring two restricted items to prevent me from eating popcorn and candy! I made sure to stay under 25 grams with the packets. One chocolate puffs and the other was garlic and onion soy nuts. I was able to stretch those two packets till the end of the movie! Then I just had an orange drink as a snack. I hope having two restricted items while keeping under the 25 is okay. Or am a tempting the scales to go in the other direction. Hmmm. I don't know if the cravings ever go aways. But don't succumb to them. You have done so well!!

Yes the cake was hard to get by, but I did it!!! I even picked up fresh made pizza for everyone else to have at dinner. I rode all the way home with all the windows rolled down, thank goodness it wasnt raining!!! hahaha I have to make a cake for his birthday party with all of his friends for this weekend... Not really looking forward to that, but I have always made thier cakes and when I even suggest buying one they get all upset. sigh. Last year he wanted a yellow cake with cool whip and strawberry layer in the middle with a skull and 'blood' for decorations. lol

I think having two restricteds was the smart thing to do, after all it is better to have another IP product than candy! I just wouldnt make a habit of it. You are doing great, just keep coming back here for inspiration and encouragement.

I have no idea if the cravings will ever go away, but I am over two months in now and I still get cravings and urges. For all of those lucky enough to have them go away... more power to ya!
