Well this is my first week on IP and I have to say everything is going great so far, I hope to have a good first week. I've been on several diets in the past and I hope I'm not disappointed with this one. I love all your stories!!!

Stay with it. You won't be disappointed. You can do it.

I too have just finished week 1 and am down 4 pounds. I am really excited! I also find that it is getting easier. I prepare my vegetables the night before, cook my protein (meat) and have developed a little routine. The only thing is: I cannot get more than 2 packets a day. With 4 cups of vegetables, 2 litres of water, lettuce and 2 packets, I am literally stuffed to the point that my stomach hurts! I am wondering if it is okay to stick to 2 packets.

My coach told me that it was very important to get all 3 packets in, but I would talk to your coach and let him know!

i will have my first weigh in tomorrow. i am so excited and scared!!!! i am really hoping i do well. i have alot to lose. i think it has been pretty easy so far. i have struggled a little today for some reason.(TOM) i want more to eat, lol. but i am doing well. no cheats, and i feel that since if you cheat it can throw you out of ketosis, it makes it alot harder for me to cheat, and i love that! i hope you have a great success!
