Good morning friends! I just wanted to thank everyone who answered my numbers question yesterday. Your wonderful thoughts and advice really put things in perspective for me. Instead of feeling uncomfortable when asked, I am going to smile and say I have lost more than I ever dreamed possible.
. |
I dont tell everyone willbe, I am to ashamed for them to calculate how much I must have weighed and how I let myself get like that. So I try to be positive and say oh, a little bit, then they ask me what did I do, I say I joined a gym and started to eat more healthy, thats about it.
They always say, way to go, I need to do that too, then they feel guilty and start thinking that they should change things too in their life, so then I am off the topic of interest lol. |
Good morning!
well my scales not moving but the inches are going!! I feel thinner! yeah!! |
Here is to another wonderful IP day. Keep up the good work and carry it into the weekend. GIT R DUN!
|
Morning everyone. Have a terrific OP weekend. We need a change in the weather in Alberta and for more than one day. Saturday is supposed to be nice and then back into the deep freeze....brrrrrr!
|
Can't believe it is Friday already!!! Colder then cold here -32 C, that is without the windchill!
Yay to all the NSV and weight losses this week. Everyone is doing a great job of keeping on track or getting back on track. Even though i don't post much, I am reading everyday. Lots of good advise and encouragement from everyone. Thank you. First week WI on phase 2 was a loss of 3 pounds. I have lowered my goal weight in anticipation of the gain back of 3-5 lbs when I move into the other phases. On to week 2!!! Have a great day everyone. |
Good Morning All~ Happy Friday! Cheers to all the NSV and SV happening today and throughout the weekend! Wishing everyone great success today!
|
So happy it's Friday!!! Missed WI this morning going to try and go tomorrow morning....I don't think I lost and pounds but I notice the inches i have lost since most of my work clothes are not fitting. So the question is do I buy new clothes or not?
I hope everyone had a great day and I look forward to reading all of the NSVs and SVs........ Happy Friday!! Have a great weekend:carrot: |
Well yesterday was the 4 week mark and i am down 12.5lbs and 12 inches.
i am soooo excited now for summer for 2 reasons, 1. i hope not to feel as self consious in shorts! and its freezing here again! need some heat badly.. have a great weekend everyone. |
Morning, ya'll! Had a couple pieces of thin-cut fried bass last night, and while I wish I didn't, I'm not going to stress about it. I know it didn't throw me out of ketosis, but it made me feel so sick from the grease.
So, today I'm going with the vanilla pudding/coffee drink that I adore, tomato soup that I spice up to suit my cajun palate, asparagus, kale chips, a blueberry-pom drink, and I'm thinking a small, delicious steak for dinner with grilled peppers, green onions, zucchini, and tomatoes. Mmm. Quote:

New purple water bottle!
Funny how little things can make such a big difference. I found a purple insulated mug that holds 34 oz. at the hardware store, it is even shaped right to fit into the cup holder of my prius. I'm planning on my right arm becoming buff from lifting it throughout the day. One big bulging muscle!
|
To buy or not to buy
I am all for getting clothes that fit. Clothes that are too big are sloppy and you need to feel great! I am getting my clothes at the consignment store. I know this size will only be temporary so after I grow out of them I either give them to someone else, or give them to the goodwill.
I'm not buying new until I get to 150 then I'm heading to Dallas and going on a shopping spree. :encore: I'm going to start a fund. Each pound lost must be worth something. HOW MUCH? |

It is -32 with windchill here today! I am going for WI # 7 this evening..wish me luck!! |

Hi Everyone!!
I know (have heard) several people have been asking about me. I know I haven't been around much this past month and have been fairly weak in forum activity since early December. I am truly sorry. I have had many things going on personally which are keeping me very busy, somewhat stressed, and often away from my computer until I am too tired to see straight (reading becomes difficult at that point! ;) ) I have tried to respond to anyone who sends me a PM. Thank you to all of you who are keeping an eye out for me and caring about where and how I am. :hug: I will try to be more diligent in checking in at least once a week. Well, today is another full day. I have been up for 3 hours already. I've walked dogs, done some laundry, taken care of breakfast, called contractors and service workers for some of our properties, checked on my grandparents (they are 94 and 95 and still live independently but need an occasional hand), took care of some business, and am now planning my mid day activities. I have the gym ahead of me for pilates and kinesis (don't know how I would manage stress without that outlet). I have to pick up a car from the body shop, finally repaired from hail damage, and meet with painters. Later tonight, I have the pleasure of meet my dad at the airport as he makes a quick trip home. Somewhere in all that craziness I get some wonderful time with an amazing friend of mine. I am also starting to use the IP athletic protocol I just got. HOPEFULLY, it will offer enough for me to be able to do my exercise, maintain my sanity, and get back to eating in a way that makes me feel better. OH, and if I can lose some weight again, that'd be nice too! :)) So, I hope everyone has a great day. I will try to check in again a few more times through this weekend. |
Morning Ladies and Gents.... gosh I feel like this is rude of me to brag about my weigh in - but I guess that is PART of the reason we are all doing this right - so... drum roll please.... week 1 - down 6.4 lbs and 4 inches ;)

It is designed for people who are exercising A LOT... IP considers athletes people who are exercising about 5 hours a day. I am exercising at least 2.5 to 3 hours a day for 4 days a week and almost 5 hours 2 days a week. I also have hypoglycemia as a history. It seems that when I exercise I immediately have a blood sugar drop and cravings through the rough. Trying the alternate phase 1 only made matters worse for me. I need the exercise to manage anxiety so, I am attempting the athletic protocol to see if I can at least get away from the carbs again (reintroduced in the alternate protocol which was a BAD move for me. I fell way off plan do to irregular blood sugar and cravings.) I will let you know how it goes! Quote:
Thank you for your welcome back! |
Congrats ErinO on your great Loss
Welcome Back showgirlaz!! we miss you! Hey everyone I hope you all have an amazing day and weekend. Still cold here but I am planning my trip to Disney World so in my mind it is warm. Ha Ha. I feel good today, have lots of engergy and my clothes feel loose again. I want to give Dr. Tran a great big KISS for this diet. It is changing our lives and making us more healthy. I am totally excited to see what I will look like as a thinner me. I have gone back and forth about a possible scheduled "cheat" day for my birthday on the 14th of March. I have decided against it because I want to be able to loose as much as possible before my trip. I plan on starting my phase off the 2nd week of May in order to be done completly before my trip in June. I do not know or care if I will be at my goal weight by then but what I do know is that I will not be as heavy as I am now, and that is all that matters. I am going to do my best to stay on track from now until then. |
Marking the Life Milestones
hi all!
has anyone else been feeling urges to somehow mark the weightloss milestone in their life when you hit goal? like a new tatoo, drasticly different hair cut, job change, completing a "bucket list" item or something significant like that? i'm not all the way there yet, but find i'm having an internal yearning to do "something". comments please... and if yes, please what the action is why the action is significant to you. have a great day everyone! and welcome back carla! |
Morning everyone! We woke up to the dreaded snow they were warning us about so I've had to re-schedule my first WI. I went into panic mode thinking, wow, now what do I do as I only had 1 packet left. Messaged my coach who pointed out that technically I have 2 because when I was having a lot of trouble a few days ago, she had given me 1 restricted packet that I was only to use if ABSOLUTELY necessary. When she gave it to me she said she'd rather me use that than "cheat" and give up altogether. So she recommended I have 2 eggs for breakfast, the restricted for lunch, my one packet for dinner and the 1 non restricted I have left for snack. Makes sense to me, I just hope it doesn't cause any havoc with my weigh in tomorrow now :( What do you all think? Being on week 1 (actually week 2 now), I'm not supposed to have restricteds at all...
Anyway, I did my own WI this morning and I'm pretty sure my scale is very close to the one at the studio I go to for WI and according to that, I'm down 11 lbs. the first week :) While I'd like to be thrilled about it, I'm really curious as to what today's adjusted program will do to me for tomorrow's official weigh in...Am I worrying too much? Anyway, congrats to all on your successes this week. And thanks so much again for your compliments, emails and adds to facebook regarding my photography work. In case anyone else is curious, here's what keeps me super happy in this life (besides my family) www.stacyscreationsphotography.com Have a great Friday! |

Try not to worry about today - you are obviously making good choices and I am sure it will show on tomorrows WI - you have to take care of yourself no matter what and tomorrow will be a new day! |

Ontariophotogal some coaches say to have a restricted a day from day 1. Others say not for a few weeks. It shouldn't throw you off for just 1 day. If you want to save your restricted, have a meat protein for lunch AND dinner. Many different ways to mix it up. Don't worry about it, you're doing great and a restricted isn't bad in the 2nd week. It could be WAY worse. ;)

Shout out to ontariogal
Hey ontariogal!! Spent an hour looking at your wonderful pics. They are absolutely stunning. Really wish you were closer. Is Kansas to far? lol. Don't worry about the weigh in. You are doing what you are supposed to be doing. Let us know. :smug:

Carla glad you had a chance to pop in here.:hug:
Yesterday I had my WI. I was only down .6 pounds but that put me at exactly 61 pounds lost, but its also TOM. My coach told me that I was the most drastic case as far as before/after success! WOW, I couldn't believe that! ME??? So she wanted me to do a testimony of IP and put it in the newsletter with pics. Have a great weekend all! As my son said, "There's frosting on the roof, but no snow" :D |
