I'm starting program tomorrow and feeling a bunch of emotions all at the sametime. I had an appointment set for gastric sleeve surgery and all of a sudden felt like I needed to look into Ideal Protein.
I've battled with my weight since my husband and I went through 10 in vertro procedures and the pregnancy weights just all added up. So this is my last shot at trying to get my weight under control in hopes of feeling better about myself, not have so many breathing issues with my asthma and be able to sit on the ground and play with my kids.
I'm so excited to have found this group! Thanks for listening/reading.
Good luck! Just making the decision to do IP is a big step. I've only been on for 5 weeks, but it's one of the best things I've ever done!
Good morning everyone and hope you all are having a great week!
Yesterday, I saw on the news about this new diet that requires a feeding tube and wanted to see if anyone else saw it. A doctor puts a feeding tube in you and this is all you eat for 10 days. They say you can loose up to 20 pounds. The cost is $1500/10 days. I think I will stick to eating my IP food!!

Seems a bit crazy to me. After all if you are considering such a drastic measure you probably need to lose way more than 20 pounds. Then what do it again and again. Doesn't even seem like it should be legal.
Just back from WI.. lost 2 1/2 pounds and 6 1/4 inches. ( hmmm, I lost a 1/2 a foot of my body). I am now exactly half way to goal. yaaaaay its all down hill from here.

I second that, totally insane! IP isn't much slower and a total bargain compared to that craziness. Wonder what happens if you were to cheat on that "diet"...
But on the good side of things I am down 2.6lbs this morning and that brings me into ONEDERLAND barely but I am in haha it's been years probably 8 years since I have seen a 1 in front of my numbers on the scale. It's very rewarding.
That's great, welcome to onederland!!

Welcome! You will be so happy that you decided to take the Ideal Protein path rather than deal with with gastric surgery. It's been the best and most successful weight loss plan I have ever been on. Basically it has changed my life.

So here's my little NSV for the day: I walked by one of our manager's office today, and he called me in. He said "get in here, skinny girl!" Loved it, even though he's a bit optimistic there
Almost forgot... Wish me luck for my WI tomorrow. Will promptly report the results.
I love it 'skinny girl'. LOL. Best of luck for your WI tomorrow.

The thing is, in the past when I pushed too hard, I had a melt-down and ate whatever was in front of my face, i.e., those dangerous nuts, but today I didn't!
I always enjoy reading your comments. It's so encouraging to me, following the progress of you and the others on the board who've progressed and are phasing out through 2-3-4. It gives me heart that I can do it too. P.S. Your stirfry sounds delish.

Awesome. It's good to hear you made a good choice.
It feels so good!

Bargains - discounts
Hi all,
I'm running really late. Had to read all the posts so far. Congrats to all those great losses and good news.
I have some discounts to pass on. I know we all love bargains.
I ordered from iHerb (www.iHerb.com), Miracle Noodles and some flavored Stevia. Great prices, but on the bottom of my receipt is what they title Savings for Them. For those of you who have never ordered before from iHerb, you can use the code AWE373 to receive $5 off.
Next, is The Protein Store (www.buyproteinfood.com). They sell only genuine IP products; the food and the supplements. For those of us having problems getting IP items, this seems like it will be a great source. Their prices are about equivalent to the centers, but they were very fast at shipping and someone named Daisy added personal notes all over the receipt and flyers attached. One neote was use the promo code SPRING to receive 10% off through April 30th. They show the new Chicken a la King soup that was mentioned in an earler post. It is to be available this week. I'd say give them a try.
I am in the US and not sure about shipping or availability for our Canadian IPers. Sorry, I should have looked. Didn't know they would offer discounts when I was online and ordered that I would be rushing and passing on tonight.
Hate to rush off, but early morning and another day at work comes too fast.

P.S. I sent an email to Daisy at The Protein Store with a question. This was a couple hours ago, way after business hours. She already answered me from her iPhone. I love great customer service. Just had to pass this along.
Have a great rest of the evening and tomorrow until I can get online after work tomorrow night.

Awesome job!! Can't wait to try that, love that they are coming out with new things to try every now and then!!
I tried something new in my stirfry tonight, I thinly sliced up some radishes, it was so yummy, who knew!! Have great evening everyone!
WI # 3, lost 2 lbs. Its TOM so I expected the weight loss to slow down a bit. Im ok with it cause it is still a lost and not a gain. Previously on other diets I would gain weight during TOM. Hopefully next week will be a greater loss.
