I'm so motivated by looking at the calendar and imagining how much I will have lost by specific dates. So my question is how long have you been on IP and how much have you lost? If on maintenance, how long have you kept it off?
I've been on it almost 8 weeks and lost 30.8 lbs.
I lost 60 pounds in the first five months and I was very very 100%. Then for another 3 months I took planned cheats and lost another 25 pounds. I have been in maintenance for a year Memorial Day weekend. I have bounced up and down 10-12 pounds the last 3 months. The first 8 months of maintenance were very easy but the last 3 have been more of a struggle. I keep having to "reboot" to get back down. I am going for a month long phase one reboot starting May 1st to get down below my lowest for the summer.
I was on Phase 1 for about 14-15 months and lost 147 pds. Only stopped when I thought I was at a healthy BMI, deducting the pds that the excess skin was taking up. I think I've read that IP is only intended to be for a year, but I kept plowing ahead anyway.
How long and how much?
