I have been looking at your progress since I tarted IP in March, and you have always been someone I kept an eye on, thinking "I want to look like her!" You have done amazing and I hope to catch up to you soon! amazing!!

i think it's time for picture updates from you!!! gotta show off that new IP body!
Wow, Congrats. You look amazing. I am hoping to join that elusive club I was excluded from years ago. My goal is to get back to the level I was when i was 20 and post a picture with abs again. I am glad to see that IP works so well.
Start (June 3, 2011) - 261
Current (Aug 3,2011) - 220
Goal (????) - somewhere around 198-90 and abs
You look amazing! Did you find that the closer you got to goal the less supportive friends/family were? I had about 40 pounds to lose. Lost the first 10 or so on the Makers diet, and the rest (17 so far) im losing on IP. I have 10 pounds to go, and everyone keeps telling me i'll get too skinny or I already look good. These comments usually come from friends a lot heavier than me. Its all relative I guess. Again you look fabulous and are an inspiration!

Thanks! i don't think anyone has told me i'm too skinny yet. i feel like my mom probably would, but i haven't seen her since march when i was 193 lbs. my friends have all been very supportive, but some like to make fun of me for not having a butt anymore. i used to have a BIG butt, but now it is almost nonexistent. i made it down to a size 4 and i realized that i was getting too thin so i phased off. now it's time to tone up with exercise!
Laura, you look fantastic! I am so grateful that you are still around the forum posting. I believe IP will take the weight off but I am terrified of gaining it back. Seeing someone like you inspires me and helps me relax and enjoy the process. Another fear is losing muscle and becoming a smaller version of me that looks like a sack of potatoes. Seeing you looking so fit puts that fear at ease too.
So, I am going to relax and enjoy my ketosis energy. Please stay! I want you to be here for MY after pictures.
for those of you who have asked, IP stands for Ideal Protein. It is a physician monitored weightloss program that restricts carbs, calories and fat, while providing enough protein to maintain most of your muscle mass so that you rapidly lose only body fat. for the most part, this diet has to be done through a clinic. google "Ideal Protein" for more info.
