Jump on the reboot with us. I was up 17 pounds...super ouch. but right now only about 7 up. I am so glad I am taking the time to reboot, but the weekends are SUPER hard. I have two more perfect weekends to make it through and then I am having a "cheat" night/Atkins style...so I stay in ketosis. Then I will do 14-15 days before phase 3 for a week and then phase 4 for a week before I leave for Vegas. I am also planning a 7 day phase 1 the day I return from Vegas (July 1st) |
Anything different with reboot compared to just restarting IP altogether?

I try to always keep my calories between 750 and 1000 (higher on harder exercise days). I keep my net carbs below 30. Loss is still 2-3 a week |

I weighed in yesterday at 140.6, which is not too bad considering that I had a completely crazy free day on Saturday. I am hoping that by the end of this week I can at least be back to ground zero (135) before continuing on to get to 125. I feel good that I didn't let my weight get too out of control, only 5# up, before taking action and that I was wise enough to monitor the scale and my measurements. |

Most days I stay 100%...some days a little parm or blue cheese makes me 98%. hopefully we will both be below our lowest soon. |
The lowest I ever saw was 132 and it lasted 1 day :) I would like to get under 130 so that can become my new ceiling number.
I exercise 5-6 days a week, and did so my entire IP journey. I feel like it helped my losses and really helped with my inches losses. I love to workout so there was no way I was giving it up. I always have an extra packet on workout days (immediately following exercise). |
I time my workouts do they are right before dinner.
I also add a bit...I use those 100 calorie bags of almonds or 2 hb eggs instead of an extra packet. I also use a little butter on my veggies. I usually work out 6 days a week... |
I start my day with a walk...I do yoga from 3:30 to 4:30 and golf from 5:30 to 7pm....I do that 4-5 days a week...except the walking is everyday.
I spend about 4-5 hours every Saturday and Sunday digging digging digging (gardening). Both the hubby and I got very light-headed this weekend...that is when we added the real eggs/meat at lunch/ and a little cheese. Before that my first 3 weeks were 100% phase 1....they were tough after a year in maintenance. But I feel ready to do 3 more weeks with a few twicks....seriously I was gagging on the packets and not eating this past weekend. |
2 days down! Wow, I haven't been able to string together 2 P1 days in I don't know how long! Checked the scale and am at 136 even, so only 1 more pound until I am at base line zero and can focus on getting into the 120's.
Here's to another day in Phase 1 :) |

Good morning rebooters! 3 perfect days, hooray! I think it is safe to say I am back in ketosis. Tell tale signs are there and I started having food dreams again!
I am feeling so much better knowing that I am back at my goal and can now concentrate on moving downward. |

I decided when I run out of packets (sometime middle of next week) I am switching to food...but same calorie/carb/fat numbers. I want to be healthier and get the junk out of my system...time to detox the additives, preservatives, chemicals, pesticides, you name it. I teach environmental science to seniors...we are reading "Silent Spring"....time to practice my own instruction. |
Definitely keep it up through the weekend. I always found the weekends the hardest. I spent a lot of time on 3FC just to help me through. :) This is the most amount of P1 days I have been able to string together since I was full blown P1. I am feeling pretty focused and really wanting to get into the 120's so I am hoping it is enough to keep me OP this weekend.
I think what makes it so hard is that it is not "critical" anymore. I am seriously looking to lose "vanity pounds". That's it. I am at a healthy weight for my height, albeit it is at the high end of the range, but still losing this weight is not as detrimental as it was when I was clearly over weight. I too would like to get away from the packaged stuff, but I can only do 1 thing at time. :) Packets are so easy when doing P1, so I am just going to go with it until I get to my new goal and then when I phase off, I will start to transition to no "fake" food. |

My problem is that I am not at a healthy BMI at all. My mom thinks I weigh 125 maybe 130 at most and she is worried I am too small. Several friends commented similarly...my trainer told me not to go below 130...that would b too low...and I must be close to that. So...it is so hard to see that darn number and really feel awesome. My doctor told me yesterday how great I look and how muscular I am. I am in a major head game place. I am sure you look at my number and think how can she think she is at a good weight. It is very hard...plays with my mind. If scales didn't exist I would never think twice about needing to lose more weight. Sorry to vent |
