Some initial suggestions: -Read through as many of the past posts on this forum you can..there is great information and support -Check out the recipe section for IP as well! -Know what kind of coach your coach will be.. this sounds important to you and it certainly is to me. If you read this forum, you will see a mix of people -some of whom have very helpful, knowledgeable and supportive coaches and some people who do not have this kind of coach. I venture to say that many people on this forum probably know much more than their own coaches:^:. Some coaches are really just salespeople pushing to sell the product. -I don't know where you live, but if you are in an area where there are a few clinics or places that offer Ideal Protein, you may want to get as much info from them all before you make your choice on where to go. Listen to your intuition to make that choice on which coach you think will support you the most. However, if you are like me and some others on this board and you only have one place near you where you can get this....keep close to this board for your best information and support! BTW, there are others here that don't even have a coach and have to order I:listen:P at idealtogo.com ... -Decide if you want to start with 1 restricted item a day or forego the restricted items for the first few weeks (there is conflicting information on the protocal sheets that dispute this that some of us have, not all sheets given to all new dieter's on IP are the same!):dizzy: -Drink your water! Best of luck and welcome! |
Hey all! It's been a while since I posted - lots of midterms this week but I need a break for a few minutes. Sounds like everyone is doing fabulously! Congrats on everyone's NSVs and weight loss this week. Keep up the good work!
Although I weigh myself on Sundays I've been checking more often because I am excited to get into the 160s and today the scale said 169! I am only 7lbs away from weighing less than my husband - so excited!! I have a question - does anyone use ketostix? If so, what kind of readings do you usually get? My readings vary from "trace" to "moderate" levels of ketones. |
Hi, this is my first post. I'd like alternatives (think cheaper) to IP packets. I don't want to be the thinnest woman in the "poor house". Please advise.

Well not only did I cave in with the string cheese, I caved in with a not-to-be-named food. My guard was down today... I'm so angry with myself. I rationalized it and after I finished my "cheat" my rationalization suddenly didn't make sense anymore. Owell. I guess I have 2 more months to lose my last 25 lbs. so hopefully as long as I only have minor cheats every now and then I will make it. Has anyone had a meal where they ate off IP pretty bad but still managed to lose some lbs. or inches if they stuck to the plan the rest of the week? If so, it would be encouraging to hear.

Rachel, I don't have any experience with it *yet*. I think it's important you don't beat yourself up about it though. Can't go back and un-do it. I'm glad you took the time to stop and think about it! You've had great results on IP, I know you'll reach your goal!
And speaking of cheats...my counselor told me today that if anyone in their clinic cheats twice, they will throw them out because those people aren't considered serious about their weight loss. WOWzers. :p |
