I'm starting my annual January reboot tomorrow. I'll do P1 for 2 weeks. I've got 6 pounds I want to lose to get back to my "6 pounds under goal weight" that I like to be at.
You can see my complete monthly photo composite by clicking on my name and then looking at "public profile." Here are before and after pix.
Stick with it! This diet really works! When you are in maintenance you will feel wonderful. You can't go back to eating the way you ate before IP or you'll look like you looked before IP. However (big However) you CAN incorporate some of your favorite foods into your diet. Just be vigilant and have your IP foods ready so you can do a P1 day here and there.
You can do this! I did it and so can you!
BTW - you all look beautiful! One bit of advice for those who don't like to take their own pictures. Go ahead and do it! You'll really be proud of your accomplishment as you continue to lose the weight. It will mean a lot to you when you get to goal.
You look great! I can't wait to get to my goal weight! Great motivation!
