Here is to another 100% protocol day! Good luck to all with WI's today as I have my number 4 WI. I have no idea what the scale will say as I have not stepped on a scale since last WI. Thought I would make it a suprise to myself! I am hoping for another 8-9# loss as this has been my average the first 3 WI's.
Tempting weekend coming up. I have a charity poker tournament Saturday that will last from 1PM until close to Midnight if I am at the final table. I hope I get there, $2000 first prize! Need more funds for my IP journey. There is free beer and food for all, I will have to stay away from the food and bring my own. I can just focus on cards.
Sunday is a superbowl party and card game with buddies. Food will be everywhere! It will also be with all my buddies who are in our year long weight loss challenge. It will be much easier for me to stay away from off protocol foods there as I can just look at them and know I am winning the competition and losing weight as they are eating their food.
I sure could go for a few beers and burger with all the fixin's, but I will stay the course and finish what I have started. I am 7 days from being a week on IP and it is amazing!
Hope WI #4 goes well today, which I am sure it will, have not had any off protocol foods/drinks and will not through the remainder of my journey!
Yesterday I ended the day with eating tooo much....but today is a new day..I was frustrated and allowed that to rock my world...
So today my world will be solid and I'm going to push thru it...
I lost another 2 lbs yesterday ...
I'm glad this site is here..I think I'm driving everyone crazy about the weight loss and program...but when finally after a lifetime you find something that works you want to share and be excited...so I think for now I need to share more with you guys...I guess I do feel sad today...
Hang tough Juiceman! Sounds like you are off to a great start!
Well, I offically made it through day 1 of phase 3. I weighed myself this morning (I know, I need to stop doing that!!) and have lost 2 more lbs!!! I'm really excited now! I think this will work. I was so afraid that once I started eating carbs I would crave them like before, but that wasn't the case yesterday, I even had some energy....go figure??!!! Anyway 13 more days to go. I hope everyone has a great IP Day!!

When you say too much-do you mean of on Protocal foods? My coach told me that that is better than eating something to knock me out of ketosis. I have had days where I needed a bit more veggies, meat or sometimes extra protein pack.
I understand completely about driving everyone nuts-I'm doing the same thing here. It seems to be my "hot" topic of the day when hubby gets home. But it works and without pills, tabs, patches, etc. LOVE IP!!
Hi everyone,
Here's to a great OP day. Today is my very first weigh-in since my initial consult and according to my scale at home I am down ten pounds. I am excited to see what the official results are at the clinic. I have been completely OP since I started and haven't really had any side effects - so I feel fortunate in that regard.
I have faced lots of temptation though, and have been having a very frustrating last couple of days - another resident in my condo continues to plug his vehicle into my suite's outlet and unplugging my cord. I am struggling to get ahold of the manager of the condo complex and it is driving me nuts. Usually when I face something that frustrates me I turn to chocolate and sweets to feel better. Now, I am just trying to grin and bear it while I wait for the condo manager to get ahold of me before I hunt her down!!!
In any case, it is warming up here in Saskatchewan so I am looking forward to the students being outside for recess and burning off some steam!
Good luck to all with WI today, I will report back with my results tonight!
I was supposed have my first WI on Tuesday, but we're iced in here in Oklahoma. I have 2 pouches left and no sign of the ice melting so I can't make it in for more. I guess I'll be on my own with just veggies and a little meat for the weekend. Any advice? I can make it to Walmart, but the clinic I go to is 30 miles away on an old highway that isn't driveable. HELP!
Hi everyone! I'm attending an IP seminar tonight at a local clinic. This will be my first experience with IP and I'm excited to learn more. This forum has been extremely helpful as I was looking for answers to some questions - I plan to go to the seminar tonight armed with information and good questions for the coach. Are there any specific questions you can think of that I should ask at this meeting? Is there anything you wish you would've known up front that you found out a few days or weeks into IP?

I was told that I could substitute 2 eggs for a packet, or tuna, like the kind you buy in the pouches. It probably doesn`t matter what kind of tuna as long as it`s packed in water not oil and low in fat. Those 2 things are lower in carbs than alot of the packets anyways. This was only for in a pinch, as I didn`t figure my packets right and would have had to eat 3 restricteds one day and 2 the next before I got to my WI and got more packets! Good luck

Hey Judogirl! I feel like I've been talking to everyone about IP A LOT lately too! It's mostly because people are asking me what the heck I'm doing. You shouldn't feel sad about it. I believe it's important to share how we are being so successful. There are a lot of people out there that could use this information.
I am positive that one of the reasons I have been successful so far is participating on this site and putting the weight loss front and centre in my life.

Check out the alternatives thread, but do make sure that you eat enough (of the right things). I don't think it would be healthy to skimp on the protein. If you can make it to Walmart, maybe look for a substitute protein isolate powder? Just make sure to check the ingredients. Good luck!

Thank you! I'm sure I'll be fine, I have great determination to see this through!
Well, I haven't had a chance to catch up on all the chatter, but must go get ready for work. No Snow Day for us here on the west coast!
I just wanted to say congratulations again to all the great weight losses and NSVs.
Also, thank you CheekyWit for the lovely comments!
I hope to be able to catch up with all my reading by the weekend.
For all you newbies out there, this site really can be the key to your success! I found when I went away for a while, my willpower also deserted me!
Hope you all have a successful, on protocol, IP day!
I wish you all good luck on your WI's today if you have one and I know we will all be good and stay on protocol
I decided last night not to order "cheaper & similar" IP products. I am scared that they contain ingredients that we aren't allowed having!
I see that a lot of people are having events this weekend...I am a little stressed about it but I have starting planning so I can get there and have fun without thinking that the FOOD and DRINKS will make me have good time..and I KNOW we will all be GOOD
My boyfriend is great! He keeps saying how proud he is of me with all the efforts I am making..we decided not to call this a diet..but a changing lifestyle! His parents really encourage me too and don't take it personal when I don't have the same supper as them or they will sometimes prepare extra veggies for me! Gotta love the in-laws!!!
This weekend I am taking my "before" pictures..and putting them on my wall so every morning I get a reality check :P lol

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!
That's a good idea, taking the before pictures. I'll ask my wife to take some of me. I completely forgot about doing that. I also have stayed away from the alternative products, just in case. I don't want to slow down my progress because I am on a strict timeline to meet my goal. Good luck on your weight loss and all of the support that you're getting is really great!
Good morning fellow IPers. I have been reading daily chats (it's the only way to start my mornings) and I have to comment on the common thread of upcoming weekends. My body needs fuel to work correctly and that's all. Yes I miss my carbs but looking back my body doesn't need them to function. I look at my weight loss and am reminded that I did this. I was ( and am) in control. I know I have only been doing this two weeks and had a crummy reaction. But one day of eating and feeling guilty is so not worth it. (step off my box). I just want everyone to stay OP. This forum is my lifeline and I just want everyone to know I am thinking of you today. Now, 3 rd day of no school and we have a bowling tournament an hour away. Pack my food and away we go.
