thanks for posting the recipe again...I'm going to try it (but as part of my veggie allowance) |
Hi all I have been on this diet for two weeks now and both weeks I had the same issue. It seems that during the first half of the week I drop 3-4 lbs but towards the end of the week I gain 2 back with a net loss of 1.5 lbs. I am not sure why this is happening. Has this happened to others before. My weeks goes from wednesday to wednesday.

Question??????
Hey y'all, how did you come to determine your goal weight? When I look at height/weight charts they have me being in the 130's . My doc recommended 160 for my 55 year old self. I'm open to input on this one...

Official WI for toda puts me down .4 which only makes me mad because for the past 5 days I was at 163 and today 166.4!! Even with the two cheat days I had I was at 163. I was 100% OP yesterday and the weight is up toda. Grr. But then I'm ovulating today and have noticed aome water retention around that time. *sigh* but NSV for me is when I gave the girls cheese, although I cut a piece fully intending to eat it, I gave it to them. And when I saw the number on the scale I marched into the kitchen to find something bad to eat and made my OP shake instead.
I'm going to keep on sticking with it and fully expect a decent number next week dang it. Now to just stop throwing the internal tantrum. |

Glad you resisted the urge to cheat! |
Only 9 pounds to go until I'm back in the 100s!

Honestly..It prolly just took a couple of days for the cheat to register. You are now back on plan, and you will lose what you gained and more!! You can do it!

So today is day 2 on IP for me. Yesterday went well. Dinner (chicken + broccoli + asparagus) tasted heavenly at the end of the day.
I have a question though, do you guys get to pick the meals that you get every week? It looks like that is the case from some of the things that you guys talk about. I was given my packets and the only thing I got to choose was the flavor of the RTD. I'm not sure if from the second week on I will be able to pick my own. I'm just wondering what your experiences are so far on that. |

Had my weigh in today, and I'm down 2lbs. Not what I was hoping for, but a loss none the less considering my cheat last night. |

Crawfishmonica- I chose my weight by seeing what BMI said and then basically picking a number out of the sky. Once I lost a bit I realized I didn't think it would be enough. So I lowered it again. We'll see what happens when I get a little closer. Don't forget, it's not set in stone! You can always change it!

IP has a lot of guidelines, but ultimately, you need to be able to try different things (restricteds vs no restricteds; 5/4/3 packets per day) and see if it's working for you. If you average losses out to 3 lbs per week x 12 weeks- you might lose 36 lbs. That's conservative. Many people have lost a lot more than that in 12 weeks! |
