UH OH!! That is what I was worried about it sounding too much like!

Really, Novak does that so much better than I do. I really am not quite as skilled or practiced at it.

Here's hoping everyone had a great holiday and has a wonderful Tuesday ahead of them.

I read yesterday's late posts this morning. Now I know exactly why I have failed to lose any weight this past week. A little cheat here and there and pretty soon I was having many little cheats. Today is a new day and back on IP 100%! Only myself to blame. I CAN DO THIS!

I was reading the recap , and thought" she'd make a terrific talk show host!!"

and "momma" Carla- you gave US the straight up non nonsense pep talk we needed!! PLEASE do not apologize! I know I needed that reminder! Thank YOU!!!!!!


Yesterday and today I am totally NOT hungry!! Even getting the water down is hard..I LOVE THIS PROGRAM!!!!!
I baked brownies for the family and not 1 crumb entered my mouth. When they cooled I cut them up, wrapped them in plastic wrap and into the freezer they went.. No temptations being on the counter in a container!!
I'm excited to see a weight drop ON THEIR SCALE next monday morning!

Thank you all for the great support/encouragement, I truely feel I would not be half as successful without all of you!!!

Yes, I am under the impression it is compliant. My coach had me spreading my veggies out during the day to prevent the gaps that might create hunger and cravings. I was having veggies with my omelette and losing 4 pounds a week during the first 10 weeks.

Yes you can!! I use to be part of another forum years ago. It was a lower carb/low calorie program but not ketogenic. ANYWAY, they had people who would encourage each other to "be POP", have a "POP" day, and other cute phrases. POP = perfectly on plan.

We actually did little contests where participants got fun little icons to add to there signature. There were different competing teams and the end goal was to have earned the most individual icons and for a team to have achieve the most. In the end, recognition was given to the person and teams who lost the most body fat, most inches, most weight, most sizes dropped, gained the most icons, had the most regular participation. It was a lot of tracking but SOOOO much fun! The best parts were the visual/virtual pillow fights and water balloon wars.

If people think things like that could be fun, or worth doing. I would be willing to help coordinate something. Explain the ins and outs and create a fun "playground" where we can also challenge ourselves to have perfect days.

Just a thought.



WELL, Have a great day everyone. I am off to tackle my day and see some doctors. Grandma has another appointment with her doctor. We had a small procedure last friday and he seemed encouraged that we might be able to get this donor tissue to work. I really hope so. People who donate tissue and organs are so precious in both their giving and that there are, it seems, so few I truly hope we are able to keep the gift that we have. After that, it is off to other doctors, lab work and then my day of work and errands will get a late start! I have the gym late this afternoon and a short yoga session. THANK YOU! I am sure I will both need and be ready for it by then.

So, until later today, I wish everyone a very wonderful Tuesday!

Yes, as long as you're eating 4 cups a day besides your lettuce.

You posted the unvarnished truth about the impact of going off program and did it with clarity and kindness. My summary was an inside joke, maybe so inside that I'm the only one who gets it. That's okay, it makes me smirk.

Today is my weigh/measure - I'm a little worried, actually. My scales on Friday morning said 202.6. Other than having a little generous helping of meat Saturday & Sunday evenings, I was completely on plan. We had three really good evenings at the park, riding bikes and playing tennis. Now this morning, my scales said 204.0! My husband says it's because I'm building muscle . . . what do you all think??

Last week's weigh/measure was very good and I feel like I've probably lost inches, but I really want to see the scale down too! I'm wearing a pretty shirt that I haven't been able to get on for what seems like years, though, so I guess a NSV is better than nothing.

My mini-goal is to be 193 by Oct. 1st on his scales - - - hope that I can get there ok.

Wish me luck!!
