I told my coach about my cheat and he said that I'm far enough into the plan that my body just flushed all of that "junk" out and moved forward. I'm pretty impressed with that!!
In just less than 6 weeks my two best friends and I are having a trio trash the dress session (we're all wearing our wedding dresses!) and I'm hoping to be around 170 by then. I was 182 at my wedding, so I want to look EVEN BETTER in my dress this time around.
Today I'm wearing size 12 pants that I haven't worn since high school. They're a little snug, but they fit!! No muffin top either!!
I also tried on my new shorts I bought for the summer. I haven't worn denim shorts since I was 16-years-old (crap, NINE whole years!) and they fit, too!!
I'm at the point in my weight loss when I'm pretty much throwing myself a party everyday. I don't care what the scale says--my clothes fit and I feel pretty. You just can't beat that!
Good luck everyone--stay on plan and I hope that you feel the same way I do!!

that is great, I think we all should celebrate every day on this great journey of ours. and congrats on the 3.4lbs, it is interesting what your coach said, I wonder if it is true...has anyone else's coach said that? What about ketosis? I am in a size 12 now too and it feels amazing.

I had a WI yesterday, -4 lbs. So excited that I've met the 40 lbs in less then two months (on IP). I'm not sure this standard will be met over the next two months I'm really trying to celebrate this one.  lol
I feel SO much better and each loss makes me more determined! But this constant weight loss is really why I think this protocol will be the last 'diet' and it will come off for good!
I think I'm going to go carry around my girlfriends 40 lbs 4 year old so I can really 'feel' it like never before.
I hope everyone has a great day!

Congrats 40 lbs you are doing so great. I think that is a good idea lifting your friend's 4 year old, it kind of puts in perspective how much you were carrying around with you. I have done that I have a dog that weighs 56lbs so when I hit 58lbs lost I kind of lifted her and walked with her a little bit (she doesn't like to be carried) and couldn't believe I weighed that much more.
Congrats Carla.
So I was on the road yesterday and didn't get to respond to the goings on yesterday.
JoAnne - congrats way to go friend, you are doing awesome
Crystal - same for you, you are doing great keep up the good work.
Smh321pg - Thank you for sharing your story, you have come a long way you must be so proud of yourself. I do have a question, have you found the jelly and blueberry/cran drink help with loose skin? I am kind of wondering as I now have loose skin and have been drinking the blueberry/cran doesn't seem to make a difference? Thank you.
April - I know you don't want to cheat but think of this program as a great gift and this gift was given to you to help provide a chance for your body to heal itself and become healthier. Give the Gift a chance you will see how great a gift this really is.
GIKA - I think to start out a lot of Clinics give a sampler pack out. I received enough packets for 9 days as well as my shaker, vitamins, supplements. I think the idea is to give you a variety of items for you to sample to find out what you like and what you don't like. Then after that you get to pick out what you want, if you need to find out for sure I would call back your clinic and ask them about it. Because each clinic runs their offices a little different, it will depend on your office.
So this morning I tried on some pants I haven't worn in 20 years, almost 30. I don't know why I held onto them, maybe oh someday I will fit them again and wear them. They are purple stretch PULSE jeans from the 80's, and today was the day, they fit and then I promptly put them in the good will bag that I am taking to goodwill after work. This has been a journey and it is amazing how different I look today then 4 1/2 short months ago. I have a picture at work, and one of my co-worker's said today look at this picture, it doesn't even look like you... she also said I don't look like me either... but that is okay because I am the new me. There is another picture of me and my friend and my co-worker said your body is about the same size as the friend's in the picture. I thought that was cool as I have always considered my friend skinny. People here are still questioning me wanting to be down to 140 before I am finished, they think that will be too skinny... I am good right now but I think I still have quite a ways to go. I would like to be a size 8 but no set weight or size. I just want to be able to look down and not see my stomach.
Cheekywit - amazing I can't believe how great you have done.
Have a great IP/OP day.
