I love this!! I work with Project Managers and this made me laugh.


I am 13 days in and unofficially down around 13 pounds-official WI tomorrow.

14 weeks and down 62 lbs. Never thought I would ever see that

Started in May 2010,so about 11 months. I have lost 137lbs

Hi,
17 weeks so far and averaging 2.23 lbs a week. Faster at first(21 lbs in first 7wks).
I delayed my blood work cuz I was afraid to see what the readings were. Talk about a head in the sand move! Anyway, finally did it about 2 mo in and found out I had a thryoid problem that would slow down weight loss, all other readings were excellent, thank God! Took me another month to research thryoid med before I would take it, so have been on it for about 1 month now.

I have also, almost daily, eaten an extra protein, usually more meat, but occasionally (rarely) an extra restricted bar, my bad!

Another bad thing is until recently I had the hardest time getting all the water in, usually had only, maybe 40ish ounces a day.

In the last month I have up'd my water to close to 60 oz a day, started the thryoid med, been better at having less portein on a daily basis, have an extra bar aprox once every 8 days.

There were weigh-ins in the middle that were the same for 2 weeks in a row, a .5 loss, 1.5 loss, 1.4 loss, and one w a l lb gain.

In the last month after the low losses, stalls, 1 lb gain and with the "moderately" improved habits and the thryoid med, the losses improved to 4, 2.4, 3, and 2.5.



I say all that to say this......calculating the loss ratios shared so far, makes me even more inspired to be stricter, disappointed in myself for draging myself along.....but I certainly am further than I would have been without IP and this site and my energy level is through the roof!

IP is amazing and as someone else said the body shape changes are great.

Thanks to all on this site, too,:book2: for all that is honestly shared about our journey on the adventure we are on together. You are all inspiring me to be better.:grouphug: one day one meal at a time

two weeks 8lbs and 7 1/2 inches

3 weeks, 8.5 lbs and 8.5" I'll never see again!

8 weeks and 24.4 lbs. I have WI #9 tomorrow!

10 weeks today and 35 pounds lost!

1 week & 7.5 pounds!! :0)

I started 2/28, so 6.5 weeks ago, I'm down 27 lbs. I went from a tight size 16 to a loose 12/tight 10!

The plan is hard, but WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!

18 days - 15 pounds!

In 12 weeks, I have lost 39lbs.

31 weeks and lost 100 pounds.

I think it depends on the person's body build. It seems the more heavier a person weighs the faster the weight goes down versus a smaller person on a similar diet. I had a friend who weighed in at 192 and in 3 months lost 30 lbs and another who was 230 at weigh in and lost 70 in 3 months.

21 weeks = 95lbs.. :-)

Hi! I'm in Wichita also. I understand from a thread I posted that Dopps on South Meridian has this? I also found Hancock Chiropractic, Willow Tree, etc. I'm not sure how they all compare cost wise, but this diet seems awesome. I only worry about what will happen after.

I am 42, kids at home are 17, 8, and 2; work full time, weigh 198 and want to weight 165. My hubby has said he will pay for Jenny Craig or something that would help me feel better about myself, but this program seems like it would be better.

Can you let me know your thoughts? Thanks.

Had 24 pounds to lose....down 20 pounds in 7 weeks! Took me almost 3 months at WW!

7th week and down 25lbs, or plus since weigh in is tonight

I've been on the diet just over 6 months now. I had my first weigh-in on October 13 and actually started the diet on October 15. I will admit I cheat at times and could lose faster if I'd stick more closely to the diet, but luckily I've only had 3 weigh-ins where I'd gained (in 6 months that's not too bad I guess).
Here are my numbers:

Weight: -65.5 pounds
Chest: -8 inches
Waist: -6.5 inches
Hip: -9 inches
Arm: -4 inches
Thigh: -2.5 inches

10 weeks, down 33 lbs. I love this diet! It has changed (and still changing) my life!

Started 4/4/2011 Weighin #3 yesterday Down 13 #'s and 10 1/2 inches!

All I can say is that I am over 60, tried most diets out there and I just wish I had found this a few years ago. It is working for me and I am having so much fun watching the pounds vanish.

13 weeks -43 lbs and more importantly 25+ inches :)

Started 4/16/11 and official weigh in is tomorrow...but as of today:
17 pounds in 3 weeks and 10"! (I only measure my chest, waist, hips)

13 weeks and 46 lbs.

I'm new to this site and maybe I just don't understand...are you all on the same diet or just doing different things and losing so much weight?? All the weight loss is incredible!

We are all on Ideal Protein Protocol, some use alternate products but follow the Ideal Protein Protocol

Thanks! I'm definitely going to check it out. :)

Weee, this is a fun thread and so inspirational!

I have lost 34 pounds in 35 days. I have also lost enough inches to go shopping in the 'other' side of my closet. =)

14 weeks and 37lbs

Just starting my 3rd week - 12 lbs and 8 inches!

7 weeks and 21.8 lbs. WOOHOO! I'm about to switch to alternative product so I hope everything will stay on track.

I answered before, but I was only 3 weeks in with 19lbs lost.

Now I have finished 7 weeks and have lost 34lbs.

My first week on IP I only lost 3.5lbs and I'm very disappointed. I weigh in again this Wednesday and don't feel like I've lost a pound and I haven't cheated even once. I hear all these people talking about losing 10lbs their first week so I feel like I'm dong something wrong.

One year, 85 pounds.

Don't be. Everyone is different, and 3.5 pounds in a week is good progress. I lost around that much my first week. Keep it up!

7 lbs in 5 days!

I started the program in 2007. I did it for 5 months and lost 55 lbs. I slowly regained some of the weight since then, and I've been on IP for 1 week now and 6.7 lbs down.

4 weeks and 16 pounds. WI #5 tomorrow...I hope to be at 20 pounds!
