Good morning hope everyonr had a great weekend..

[lpetrus56]

Good Morning! Day 6 and finally did not wake up with a headache! Also not ravenously hungry! My official WI is tomorrow.

Have a great day everyone!

[usmcvet]

Good morning. My son will be ten tomorrow. We had a great birthday party for him yesterday, we went to see diary of a wimpy kid. It was the best one yet. Jack was spared because he was sitting with his friends and I sat with two of the dads who stayed. IV not laughed so much in a long time!

DW initiated cookie baking this morning. Whoooo Hoooooo. Starting the day with a big smile.

You'll do great! First week is the hardest!

Good Morning! I mixed up the ingredients for a mug cake and poured it into a mini muffin pan - baked it at 350 for 10 min and they turned out great! 9 mini muffins - I put them in a Baggie and they are a portable meal! I'm going to try making them and freezing them so I can microwave them quickly in the morning.

Have a great day!!

[dizzyjean]

Morning peeps! Had WI over the weekend, lost 2.5 pounds. Maybe I have the big "C" figured out. And, I exercised less. Go figure. I did start painting the dining room, though. Needed to be done. Another couple afternoons after work and I should be done. Pale green- between a mint and a moss.
Make it a great day!

number 7 for me tomorrow as well hoping i have at least 7 gone. last week was not a good WI.

[Chloe222]

All,
Hope all of you are doing well. I've been busy with guests and work in general, so little time to be here with all of you.

Had WI today - down .8 which is good as I was up .8 last week. I'm essentially on phase 2 since I'm entertaining so much and things are a bit crazy in general.

Wishing all a good day!

[Lotsahope]

Day 7 for me and ready for the scale. I had a good weekend and as most of you have said it has gotten easier with each day. I am a little concerned about my attitude if my WI does not go good but plan to move forward no matter what. Have a great day IP
girls!

Expect the best! If you stuck to the plan, your first several weigh ins will be very motivational.

[GonnaB50NFabulous]

Rissimo, you are getting so close to goal. Yay for you! I wasn't on the board much in July, so the changes I'm seeing in everyone is amazing! My 32 yr old son last night told me that I look younger every time he see me now:-)

Now I have to dig up the mug cake recipe! I tried one and they were very rubbery but I think I forgot the baking powder.

Go in expecting good things! Good luck!

[shathom]

Good morning all, for all that have WIs today good luck, for those that WI over the weekend, congrats on the positive outcomes. For those struggling, hang in there IP works!

Have a good day!

Good morning all! I'm back from a lake weekend with limited connectivity.

Rainbow, I'm so sorry about your friend's loss. I have a bestie that we've been friends 37 years. If she had a loss like that, I'd feel it deeply and I'd be on the plane to MI to be with her.

My lake weekend was a NSV. It was my first true "outing" test of IP power. We have gone out to dinner and I've done dinner with friends but THIS was a weekend of indulgence. We drink with these friends. I eat too much with these friends. It is the lake where overindulgence doesn't count, right? Only in my past life. I took some flavored seltzer water (no phosphoric acid [sp?]) and also bought some Lemonade Mio. I won't use that consistently but it got me through the weekend instead of vodka, beer or wine. I had my packets. I made sure to bring munch-crunchy restricteds and definitely kept my veggies raw (cukes and celery are great when everyone is crunching on dips and chips)

We had shish-kebob. I watched her make the marinade & she didn't add sugar so just what was in the worchestershire sauce and soy sauce. I brought my own WF coleslaw. Everyone had salmon & bagels for brekkie. I had IP Herb omlette with 1c colorful, flavorful veggies (peppers, spinach, celery).

Hubby sprained his ankle so there was a brief stopoff to get that x-rayed. On the way home, we stopped at a restaurant where he loves the fried chicken. I asked for a salad. All they serve is the chicken dinner & I couldn't even get the salad. I had green beans and chicken with the coating removed (best I could do). But on the table were also these: mashed potatoes, corn pudding, biscuits, gravy. All things I love but they obviously don't love me or they wouldn't have made me this FAT! I left them alone! All in all, a weekend success on IP.

Today is WI day. I'll be happy with ANY loss

Let us know the results of the freezing/microwaving! I need quick/easy meals that aren't "shaker food"

Any weigh-in that is a negative number is a good weigh-in! Some weeks we lose "weight", some weeks we lose inches. Are they measuring you, too?

Me too! And I think I like them better with some zucchini in them...It adds some "substance". AND I need to get something to bake them in that doesn't stick like CRAZY. Until then, it is pancakes for me.
