congrats! one day at a time is all we can do right? I jumped back into this IP world on Monday and now starting to get feet and calf cramps in the evening. Think I will pick up some potassium tabs. Down 2.8 since Monday, so I am happy to see some movement already. When I look back at my lowest during IP last time, its a great motivator! We are headed to Cuba for two weeks in Feb, so I don't want to go there feeling bloated and disgusting. we can do this!

Are you not taking any supplements now? I strongly suggest you do this. And, consider taking D3 supplement. If you don't recall which or need help finding comparable ones to IP that you can get a retail store, let me know. I took my IP bottles in one day to Vitamin Shoppe and picked out comparable ones. And, I continue to take 50,000 IUs each week of D3 as prescribed by dr last Spring while I diet and especially while doing IP.

yes I am taking tonnes of supplements since my last go round on IP. I just ran out of potassium.
Has anyone found a good replacement for IP's Vanilla Peanut bars. My brother loves him, but he always complains about the price and so he stopped getting them. I want to put them in his stocking and want to show him he can something comparable much cheaper as an alternative. I placed an order at Nashua Nutrition, but I didn't see anything there that was a Vanilla peanut bar from either Healthsmart, Proti Thin or Proti Diet brands. I got what I think may be close, but if someone has had the IP ones and knows of a good replacement, please share.
Hi everyone! Just back from Jamaica last night.... I have lost weight after 3 weeks away, not sure how much yet as I still have flight bloat so I will give myself a couple days grace.
Glad to see you all here!

How did everyone fair through the holidays? I had a steady incline over the entire course of the fall and am now sitting 9-10# above goal. I have started a mini-reboot and am on Day 2. I am hoping that 3-4 weeks at P1 should do the trick, and I know mentally, I will feel so much better once I can at least get into the 130's again.
Hi Jenny - I started an IPA reboot 12/27 (no NYE plans).
I've been slowly gaining weight, even with moderate - vigorous exercise 6 days a week, since after vacation in August. Just life...I needed to do a week of clean P1 after vacation, but we had 2 half marathons coming up, then I half-arsed a reboot in October, but it was my 40th birthday...then Thanksgiving with family out of town...then the holidays.
I was too chickensh** to weigh Tuesday, so my official start weight is 165 and I am aiming for 150 - 155 - hoping 3 weeks, but prepared for a month

god........for the month of dec I have only lost 4... what a disappointment. What with the holidays in there etc........ so now its my final month before cuba........ LETS DO THIS
Countdown to Cuba, LOSINGFORGOOD2010!!
Crossed fingers for the mini-reboots...
I'm still under the 140 decade, but the way things are going I don't think I will try to get back to 132.... just seems to be too much trouble. 135 might be better. I have to stay away from large bags of kettle corn, and supercheap sales on Christmas candy.
At the moment, for my LCHF lifestyle I am eating too much protein (cheese is my go-to [I]everything![I]) and not enough plain fat (w/o the protein). Don't want to be burning the protein up as half-@ssed glycogen. Also, the above carbs o_0

Anyone still hanging around this thread? My post holiday reboot is complete and tomorrow I am back to maintenance (yippee!). I am absolutely miserable on P1, so I am very much looking forward to eating less packets and more real food, oh and not to mention having an apple! My maintenance plan right now has my carbs at around 100g. I will slowly bump up to 150, but I need to add slowly.

I am getting close to being back on this thread. My maintenance plan is Keto, which is great as I found last time that no transition was needed from P1 if staying low carb.

WTG! How amazing you were able to reboot so quickly after the holidays.
I am rebooting but going 10lbs lower this time. Have 2.5 wks until a quick trip to Cancun for work. Don't think I'll hit 150 by then but would sure love to get close!

I was pretty motivated because I was feeling a little bit disgusted with myself All the holiday junk and drinks really caught up to me, and more than anything, made me feel awful. So it felt really good to get it all out of my system.
My Keto experiment has mostly been a failure. Like Paleo before I did IP, I have gained weight. Almost 15 lbs to be exact. After much thought I have realized that the only way I, personally, lose weight, is low carb low fat. So...I am ordering from Nashua tonight and putting my bacon in the freezer. About 20 years ago I lost over 60 lbs doing low carb low fat and walking 3+ miles every day. It all came back back and then some because I didn't take care of myself. I guess I'm one of those people that Keto/Paleo just doesn't work for. I can't believe I let myself get so far over my scream weight before I woke up! Ugh.
Back to P1. And being more cognizant of what I am putting in my mouth and why.
