Good morning all my fellow IPer's! Another great day! Hope everyone has great WI's today and many NSV's to share or just to have. We are all doing great, keep it up and we will succeed! WE CAN DO THIS!
WI #16 for me this morning and down another -4.2#. Feeling great. I have another session with my trainer and should have my routine ready to start next week. Feeling great. I will also be starting to phase off and return to normal calorie intake and pack on some lean muscle mass.
Have a great day!
juice- wth!? 4.2 # at week 16??? awesome!

Did wake up and have a shake and have plans to stay OP but so much going on. My grandfather is being buried with full military honors and they day is full of meeting and greeting. Thanks for all the well wishes you have no idea how much they mean to me.
rulemom- OMG, we aren't supposed to have vodka????!!!!! no, really? awe, heck, considering everything, you deserve it. in the big picture whatever you decide will be right for you. everyone is different. you know what you can handle and what you can't. damn obama...... who does he think he is anyway! he he he

I have had a victory and scored a TOUCHDOWN !!!! I had my weigh in yesterday and I lost -2.4 lbs and surpassed my goal weight by 1 pound and have moved into phase 3. I am quite excited about starting phase 3. I have lost a total of -96.6 lbs on the Ideal Protein diet. It is kinda of hard to believe but I did it.
Keep up all the great work you are all doing and I know you can all do this. If I could do it, you can to I believe in you all.
Have a great day and an awesome week everyone.
couts- time for a picture update couts! lets see how great you look now!

I am going to start looking at other protein powders not neccessarily for alternatives, but muscle growth. I am lifting now and want to put on some quatlity lean muscle mass.
Glad to see you back. Hope all is well.
juice- are you familiar with T-nation dot com? my 220lb 16 year old and football coaches like the metabolic drive and the grow products. i used the metabolic drive low carb. it tastes great. see what ya think.
How important is it to go on phase 1 the day after a cheat day? Why not phase 2? I really need my meat at lunchtime, as it keeps me fuller than the IP packets, which is one of the reasons I`ve been on phase 2 for so long. Is there that much difference in the 2 phases that it would be detrimental to not go to phase 1 for a few days? Any thoughts??
Try it and see! The most important thing is to stay low carb that day. so, if your body doesn't rebound from a cheat day the way it should if you eat phase 2, then try phase 1 the next week and see what happens. YOU have to figure out how to make this work for life.
My NSV for the day - I fit into my first pair of size 2 jeans!!! I just about keeled over and died in the fitting room. And I scrubbed in with my plastic surgeon today and her PA was blown away how I looked when I came in. I haven't been in to see him in a few months and he was pretty impressed with how much more weight I have lost. He refers to me as the little yogini now!

That is amazing!!! How long have you been on this diet? Your start weight is what mine was, I have only been on IP for 17 days, and it's a struggle most times. Congrats on your weight loss, and I can't wait to have a NSV moment
I won't describe what I did yesterday, but let's just say I feel SO much better. No more nausea, faintness etc. I'm working on getting back into ketosis now and tomorrow at my weigh in (that will probably be disastrous!) I'll let my coach know that I insist on a wider variety of products. I can't stick to the juice/pudding/soups anymore! *puts foot down*
My goal today is to eat all three packets!!
I'm trying the jello for the first time today, it's okay. I wish that protein taste would go away!
Happy IP Thursday everyone!
snow- better is GOOD! can't help but be curious what you did tho... was it illegal?
Yay, it was a happy 4 lb loss today, despite my Easter dinner indulgence (Filipino cuisine is no where near OP). I'm so near my interim goal of -20% starting weight loss before a 2 month Ph 1 hiatus, I'm drooling for the free days of Ph4 and for so new capri pants that don't make me look like a hobo.
NSV for me. Someone at work jumped when I said "hello" in the lunch room. He then admitted that he didn't recognize me from behind and asked how much weight I have lost. This is the first guy at work to say something... It was weird. But happy weird!
Haha, how awesome did THAT feel! Good for you
I had an NSV today too, my hairdresser walked into my house, whom I haven't seen since starting the program and the exact words out of her mouth were "Wow Stace, you look f*****g awesome". LOL! Felt good
WI# 10 for me tomorrow, will also be the start of a temporary phase 4 for me as we leave for our trip Monday....looking forward to some real carbs tomorrow LOL.

I have been on IP for 29 weeks on this next Sunday. I remember being in my first week and thinking that it was going to be the longest time of my life. I have one more week on phase 1! To maintenance and beyond! hehehehe

Yay! I love Filipino food. My grandmother was from the Phillipines. We started IP on the exact same day!! Good job on the 4!
