[Chicklady]

hey! maybe some more folks will show up for a lucky 13 roll call!
Rise and shine!
Llet us all know how it's going! yes, that means YOU!!


A note of interest for some....

I contacted netrition.com about the difference in the NOW brand Inulin and the Sweet Perfection inulin sweetener. For anyone considering investing the money in a more natural.....and very high fiber sweetener....they said that while it's the same thing basically, the Sweet Perfection is more highly refined and thus a bit sweeter.

Just checking in quick. I have a lot on my to-do list today. Yesterday I went to bed as soon as I got home from work so that's why I didn't check in.

Hope all is going well for all you CCers. See you tomorrow.

Hi All,
Everything is going well here; I'm on day 33 of extended induction but I plan to move up to OWL at the beginning of next week. I'm feeling good, having fun trying to really listen to my body and what it needs; that is such a new concept for me but I'm really trying. So far, I've been able to drop 18.2 lbs and 12.25 inches! Thanks for all of the advice and encouragement!!!
