thanks so much! I appreciate all of the encouragement!! I haven't lost any pants sizes yet though which is kindof discouraging because I read where a lot of you have after 15 lbs. Oh well, maybe soon!!

Hi, Tricia, I was told at my "educational workshop" that IP is not considered a high protein diet. It is an adequate protein diet. On IP I eat approximately 70 grams or less of protein per day, while a high-protein diet is considered about 1 gram per pound of body weight per day, which would be 165 grams of protein for me.

Yes I did!  Started wearing size 22 pants... now I wear size 9! My weightloss gets tougher and tougher... not as motivated as before and already feeling much better at this weight. If it can help some of you, these pictures were taken in july and december 2009... Not sure if I will post THE picture of me in a swimsuit with snow in the background when I reach goal as told in november!!

I haven't lost a pants size yet either and I am also down 15lbs. I heard the middle is usually the last place it starts coming off  . I'm sure it will catch up with us soon and then we won't know what to do because our pants don't fit, lol. I did notice the loss in my bra and I think my pants might have a little more room in them, but I can't wait for them to be at the falling off point!!! Great job with the weigh in I hope I have good news when I go Wednesday.

HCG Question
Hi to all! I am new to all of this. I've been busy reading previous threads and I see much success and support posted here. Great job, guys!
I have been on the HCG injection (diet) for the last 37 days and have 3 days left on that (have lost about 20lbs). Then, per my doctor's advice, I am looking to start the Ideal Protein program this Friday....
Does anybody here have experience with starting with HCG then moving to Ideal Protein like I am doing? Any insights or thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!

You look marvelous! I can't imagine there will be much left of you if you go down to 140. You are a great inspiration to all of us. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Hey everyone! My boyfriend bought me a movie for Valentine's Day which was very thoughtful of him. He has been one of my biggest supporters in the last 3 weeks. I did slip up in the middle of the week and had a heart shaped Jolly Rancher sucker. It was cherry, oh how I love cherry flavored Jolly Ranchers. I think it was worth it. I was down another 5 lbs. at my weigh in and 6 lbs. fat so I don't think I was punished too severely for the sucker incident. Have a great day!!!

Don't get caught up in the pants size thing...you are doing great and are an inspiration to many of us here on the board. The weight didn't go on overnight, so its coming off where it wants too!

I made it through Valentines day unscathed....actually had my husband eat the same dinner I did- made him some rice but didn't touch it. He was amazed that you can actually eat well on the diet as well as use the packets. I think he is cautious because of course we have all failed on diets before so he is being very understanding.

Great loss for week 3! It doesn't look like that sucker affected you at all. I have been terribly afraid to eat any sugar because I don't think I would stop with just 1 sucker. Way to go having only 1!
