Starting ToDay Wish Me Luck :)
Hi everyone, I'm Cheryl (aka Surfnmom) and I have been reading this forum with great interest.
I think what made up my mind to try this was all the positive support that you all give each other daily. A little about me I am a young 54 and have been on diets since i was a kid. Been to goal a few hundred times (feels that way). Last time I was at goal and had been there for 3 years was 2008. A size 6 132lbs. Felt Great never thought I would gain the weight back :( Then along came Menopause. Horrible is all I can say. AnyHoo Feeling more like a human and gained back almost all i had lost. Its been an up and down slow go for awhile. I have succeeded in getting "AS" out of my life and trying to eating only real food getting rid of the process foods. Started walking with my son 3 to 4 times a week. I do feel great, but man this is really not getting me anywhere fast. I would love to see at least a lb a week loss instead of a lb every 2 or three weeks. So if this can show me something weekly then I would be a happy camper lol. So here i am and look forward to joining your group and daily thread. OHHH and a Big Congrats to all of you that are doing so well with this. |
Hi Cheryl! Like you, before I started IP, for 6 weeks I had cut out processed foods and was walking 4-5 times a week but lost NOTHING (I actually thought I was premenopausal at 38 because nothing was happening). Started IP and the weight started coming off. Best of luck!

Hi Cheryl, I just started yesterday. So far so good. Everything I have ate has been really good, and I haven't gotten hungry. Crossing my fingers that it keeps going like this.
Good Luck!!! -Jennifer |
Welcome, Cheryl and Jenn! This is a great place to be and IP is an excellent way to transform yourself and get the weight off.
Cheryl, I weaned myself from sugar and Diet Coke the week before I started IP. I think not having those things in my body for the beginning of this diet made the first few days a little easier for me. Everyone's different, but that was my experience. :welcome: |
Hi everyone! I just started IP again today. It has worked for me in the past, and I lost weight, felt great and looked even better! The key is to go through all 4 phases, and then maintain. If you even gain 5 pounds more after maintenance go right back on to Phase 1. I did NOT follow this and now have to start all over again. I lost 30 pounds, and am now needing to lose that plus 10 more! I am 5'9 and 193! I look forward to doing it different this time, by staying accountable, and maintaining the right way!! For you that have never done it before, it works!!! I tried every other diet possible, this one shows results and fast!
