Fun website! I'll remember to use this when I need motivation!

The switch to Phase 2 happened before reaching goal weight on OLD protocols. The most updated one (from June of last year) states that you stay on P1 until goal weight is reached. Your coach is using the most current information.

Yes, come back. I haven't seen any since I saw three standing together last fall on my way home from work. Come when the weathers nice, I'll fix you a club soda.😉

Cool site...thanks for sharing!

I thought the day would take forever but I'm happy to report I'm down one size in pant and shirt. I look forward to my next lower size purchase!! Happy day. Celebrated with a steak and veggies for supper. So so good!

Way to go!!!!!

Same here. Thanks for sharing. I hope it is right that I will have a waist for the first time ever!

Congrats, I have no doubt you will rock that bikini

Thanks for sharing! You're right--that's fun to play with!

One more week til I'm on a dive boat in a bathing suit again, and I'm happy to know I'll be way more comfortable in one than I was in December.

I've been trying some new alternatives since I was getting into a bit of a rut eating the same IP foods day after day. I'm really liking the Proti-Diet blueberry pancakes, the WLS cheesecake, and the WLS cocomint pudding/shake so far. I also like making the Proti-Diet oatmeal into muffins. Seems like my last Nashua order was a home run!!

Have a great day, everyone!

Hey Scorbett! I see you are only one pound from your goal weight! That's awesome--can't wait until that is on my ticker too!
to you!

omg i adored vermont and look forward t when i can visit again!! well, adored everything except that border patrol! haha still, i did not get to see a moose!! maybe next time!![/QUOTE]

Thought I would add these for your veiwing pleasure Rainbow. Maybe next time you will see one of thses amazing moose!

You are so right! Being creative and asking for what we want and need gets such great results. Congratulations to both of you!


That sounds great Scorbett! Have a great time, and I'm sure others will be jealous of your food.

I agree. Just do it, and read all the inspirational stories on this board. I have never stuck to a diet for more than a couple weeks in the past, and here I am, 9 weeks later and 45 lbs lost! You can do it!

Great job, it's such a boost when you go down a size!

Congrats on the weight loss ad feeling great in that bathing suit. Diving sounds like so much fun, but not something I would have tried at 300 lbs. maybe I'll have to try it out!

Made some great zucchini butterscotch muffins yesterday (thanks for the recipe Lisa). I made red velvet cupcakes for the kids and their friends, but was very satisfied with my 3 muffins. Seemed like a huge amount of food for one packet.

I made zucchini cookies last week, and I am looking forward to trying the rhubarb crisp next week ( thanks lamberjules http://www.lamberjules.com/recipes/i...-crisp-recipe/ ). I just have to remember to buy the maple oatmeal.

For the first few weeks, I was happy with keeping it simple and not cooking very much, but it's fun now to try out some new recipes!

You asked for it so here it is

It IS a struggle to get started. I know because I RE-Started in January and I'm still struggling to get OP 100%. I won't even say how many days I've done "day 1". So take the good and keep going. I'm the same as you. I'm good actually till after supper but then it's too easy to have an extra restricted or whatever. But I'm still here and still trying, and the weight is not going back ON so that's a success. Last night I actually sat with a bowl of shredded lettuce beside me and when I wanted to eat, I grabbed a few bites -- like I was eating popcorn! It really did help, and sometimes I think I'm fighting a "habit" of eating, not a hunger to eat. So try that!

There is lots of inspiration on this site. I'm going at a slower pace than I'd like, but I'm goin in the right direction. Celebrate what you're doing well and then just really focus at 3:00 to make it thru -- eat an egg or egg white omelette, or grab more salad. If you need a 'sweet' try Splenda jello if you don't have an IP one, or make the chocolate shake cookies. Good luck. You CAN do this -- if you want to. As I said earlier in another thread: If you think you can, or think you can't,you're right. Be like Nike: Just do it.
