It is really picking up now. Still have power (fingers crossed it stays this way).

I would love to do a local 3FC meetup!!! I wonder how many other southcoast peeps are out there?

Thanks HGAMROTH...

Wow..all this storm talk is crazyness..Dont know if anyone heard..but over here in Canada..located in BC..not far from where i live..there was a 7.7 earthquake that hit..and then there was another 5.8 and 4.6 and then another big one again plus many aftershocks...Its the biggest quake to hit near by since 1949...We were under emergency evacuation because we were under a tsunami warning...Half the town was evacuated because they live near the water...Odd thing is..Last year i had a dream that a disaster was going to happen and we were going to have to evacuate our house..so i told my hubby (in life) that we needed to move to higher ground..So we ended up buying the trailer that we are in now, last Christmas...and sure enough..people were being evacuated but my family did not have to move..because we bought are trailer on the highest point in town...A tsunami would never touch us...So it was crazy to see that..Turns out we did have a "wave" if you could call it that..it was only 1foot..... but i guess better safe than sorry.

So stay safe everyone! Praying for yalls!

I'm day 1 again too. I'm also doing mini goals of 10 lbs Small Bites

I don't really care for the salad dressings myself, but I can do the bacon and the zesty italian. also, the WF chocolate is good if you are craving something kinda sweet. I am trying to figure out how to make graham wafers with the cinnamon/apple soy puffs and put a spread of the WF mallow and chocolate on it

Good luck!

Only from scratch for me. There are plenty of super recipe for dressings without killing your tastebuds!

Here is an easy one (easily doubled/tripled):

Oriental dressing (can be used as a marinade)
1/8 cup olive oil
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup Soy sauce
2 tbsp Dijon or hot mustard
1 tbsp garlic
1 tbsp ginger

Blend on high

I was down 1.8 at my weigh in today but I feel like I've lost more than that. It is my TOM so that probably accounts for some. I had to snag a belt from my husband this weekend because I don't even own one and my favorite jeans kept falling down! Yay for NSV's!

I learned a nice lesson, if you're in a hurry in the morning and have to wait to make your shake at work...don't take the vitamins until then either....got sick on my way TO work this morning. Not a good way to start my Monday morning!

Wow, really? only 4 boxes at a time? huh...my DH wishes they would limit me /grins hopefully they will think about that after seeing this storm. sorry

You can't swing a cat around Northern Virginia without hitting at least 10 chiropractors selling IP. The clinic I go to is just for IP and they have a ton of all kinds of products- IP, every flavor of WF, and a ton of other 0/0/0 items. Don't know where you live, but I would check out their competition if I were you.

I should add that they charge the same as the online site (plain protein?) so it is nice to have the convenience and selection.

If your clinic won't sell them to you, go to plainprotein.com or dietnomoreonline.com to get real IP products

I've lost 33 and nobody has really noticed. Once I posted pics on 3FC, EVERYONE said something (thanks guys!) but I have to say, the more you have to lose, the more it takes before people notice. I decided when I started that I wasn't even telling people at work. Most of them aren't very nice anyway and rarely inquire about my life. (Everyone LOVES to talk about themselves, don't they?) So, it really doesn't matter if others notice. I know. And I'm the one that all of it matters for.

After reading posts on here this morning, I am greatly encouraged and motivated once again. Thanks all for posting! I KNOW this plan works because I've done it two years ago, and I just got to keep telling myself I CAN do it again. My depression has gotten in the way and I've been a rollercoaster ride but am determined to DO it this time. All those in the storm's path...my prayers are with you, stay SAFE!

Looking for the cheesecake pudding. Is it IP or another brand? And if another, where did you guys get it? online, I hope

I have lost 38+lbs and most people don't notice. I don't advertise that I eat any differently or that I am avoiding drinks. I actually pretend I consider the other food before I make my choice. I also had the sizes in my closet so I never wore baggy clothes. The only thing I don't get away with is my leather coat. It is too big but I won't replace it till I find gently used or I am done being shrunk.

Yay, I got my old account back!! First day back on protocol and feeling great! I did IP in 2010, lost 53lbs, and have SEVERLY fallen off track but I am here to do it again, and do it right this time by phasing out properly!! One day at a time!!
