Started March 17th- Wk1-2 Wk2-4 Wk3 0 which was frustrating. I am in the middle of my Wk4 and am really hoping for a loss this week to keep motivated. It does help to see that others have had 0 loss on their 3rd week too.
Thanks! Will post results afterward.. good luck to everyone on their journeys! stay strong,
Has anyone started working out yet?
I started walking 3-4 times a week for 30-45 minutes each walk around week 4. I don't feel like it has stalled my weightloss, and I am happy to get outside!
I measure everything. I'm not fond of the 'two cup' rule as I find that really subjective (two heaping cups; diced vegetables or huge chunks, etc.), so I measure and weigh it all. It's helped me with understanding what a portion of food (especially protein) looks like.
I agree with u Mulse.... I prefer to weigh every thing in Oz or Grams... I saw a weights and measures table here somewhere and should have saved the site or Printed it out now I can find it again
Hi! I started IP March 4th. Been going pretty well overall. Super hard the first 6 days, then it got better. I've had 5 WI's and I've lost 15 lbs so far.

Hi HulaChic....you and I started at exactly the same weight and height.....I'll be following your progress to see if I can keep up. I'm older than you and in (actually past) menopause so it will be interesting. Good luck to you and congrats on the 15lbs

Hi Rubygirl! How weird that our numbers are all the same! I'm 42 and most likely premenopausal with all the crazy symptoms I'm having. Good luck!!
I started March 4, and as of today's WI, I'm down 31.5lbs.
I'm another in the "yes, measure it" camp. I had no idea what a portion actually looked like when I started, which is part of what got me to 100+lbs overweight. I'm starting to get it now. A kitchen scale was my first kitchen-equipment purchase after starting IP, and I use it all the time.

Hello everyone. I started Ideal Protein\Proti Diet 28 days ago and I have went from 175 to 162, but the past two weeks I have been stuck at 161-162 any advice?

You had about as much as I had to lose and I got stuck at about 10ish lbs to goal. After all the usual considerations ie TOM, constipation, not enough water, incorrect measuring of food, coach & I concluded that my body just needed more food. I went on the Alternative plan used for people who need more food for blood sugars. This means 1 lo-fat dairy, 1 starch, and 1 fruit a day - I started to lose the weight again & just generally felt better. Talk to your coach about it. If all the other things are in line you may just need a change so your body doesn't rebel this close to your goal. Worked great for me, I even lost a bit of weight in P3 when your 'glycogen tanks refill.' Also- check your body fat as it may have changed & your measurements too as you may have gotten smaller/leaner without losing poundage. Muscle takes up less room than fat does for the same weight.
Check the fit of your clothes too and enjoy any positives that don't have to do with the scale number.
