Congrats Martha! I had my WI 4 yesterday and lost 2.6 pounds so I am pretty happy with the results too! Funny thing is though I only lost .5 inch in my chest and no where else and my body fat percentage didn't change so even my doctor is kind of confused how I managed that one...but oh well, a loss is a loss :)

Hi Everyone. I'm also new to IP. I started IP on 08/17/2011. I've stayed OP but I have definitely had some ups and downs (moody, tired, and cravings). My first week I lost 7 pounds. I had my second WI today and lost 3 pounds. I exercised yesterday for the first time since I started and I was soooo tired....I ended up having a nap-then just laid around for the rest of the day and complained when I had to drag my body out of my chair. I hope this is not what it is going to be like each time I exercise. I used to exercise 3-4 times per week prior to IP and did not feel as tired. Maybe I need to build up my endurance again. Thank you to all for your threads and encouragement. This is definitely a test of our Will and discipline.

A lot of the posters that we have that exercise add an extra packet to their day to get more energy. You might try that, everyone that does add a packet says it makes a difference :)[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the advice, Wuv! :) I get scared of having extra packets because I'm so focused on sticking to the plan...:dizzy: However, if that is what helps me have more energy after I exercise that is what I've go to do. Stay strong everyone! Happy long weekend!! |

There is a thread all about exercising I bumped it for you. Maybe there is something else I missed. |
It really helps me being a "newbie" on the plan to read these forums and get advice from others! Sometimes this is the motivation some of us need :)

Long week
My first week weighin I was down 6 leb and lost 11 inches. I have my second weigh in on Tue. after Labor Day. Very nervous. I did fine with the food portion, it was the Diet Coke. I think I had three this week. Two were caffeine free diet coke. Thoughts anyone!!!!!
I'm also try to find the receipe section :dizzy: |
Went to the grocery store today and stocked up on everything I need for recipes this week, and Tuesday is my first day!!! I've been counting down the days all summer, and I have been really looking forward to getting started. Im feeling alot of anxiety about it... alot... but staying focused.

Hazards of skipping meals?
Not a problem I ever thought I'd have only on day 10. Lost 5.4 pds week 1. This weekend scurrying to get meals in and came home at 9:30 tonight still not having had dinner.
When this happens should I have the meal before bed (bedtime 10:30 - only an hour away). Should I skip it entirely or maybe just have a protein shake instead of real food. What do you think? What do the experienced IP weight losers say? :^: Thanks, Corrie |

So I was making my lunch , a spinach, mushroom omelet, and wondering why the egg packet wouldn't firm up . Then I realized I had used a chicken soup packet. It was really good. If you like creamed spinach.

Hi all,
So happy I found this forum. I am new to IP. Day 7 for me. I have done well, not cheater, EXCEPT for one day. I had 3 triscuits with cream cheese and 3 bites of cake. I know, terrible. But if that's it for a whole week, if you know me, it is a miracle. but I havent weighted myself in 3 days and finally did this morning. The first couple of days, I went down 5 pounds, but now I am up .5. so that means I gained .5 pounds in 3 days cause of triscuits! is that really possible??!?! someone help to keep me motivated, cause i am feeling really low right now. |
