good luck !! :)

Thank you everyone for all the information .... I am excited to be here !! I love the program !!

1st week of IP
 

Let me just say that the first 5 days on IP was hard for me. Hunger pangs, headaches, carb withdrawal etc etc.:bomb: I went into ketosis on day 3 and by day 6 all cravings and hunger was non existent.:carrot: My first WI was yesterday Monday and I was shocked to see the scale a whole 13lbs lighter!!!:dance: 5 days of **** was so worth that number. I know it won't be like that every week but it sure helped justify putting myself through that. Now I find it odd that i'm not thinking about food all day. I love you IP!!! :cloud9:

:dust:

Peanut butter is also my Achilles' heel (to be honest I have a few;)). I used to refer to myself as the 100 calories snack queen; there wasn't one of those "little" snacks I wouldn't try as soon as they came on the market. I worked out and figured I had earned it and what harm could 100 calories make? I also thought I was living healthy and couldn't understand why the scale wouldn't budge. IP has totally openned my eyes to my carb addiction, I never even looked at the carb count on those snacks before!

Today I got weighed in, picked up my food and am ready to start tomorrow. I just went thru and picked out my food for tomorrow.

I'm ready for a tough week, I need to stick to this. My husband Just lost his job, so it would be a real waste of money if I dont. Plus, I know that cheating (I hate that word) sets you back for about three days.

Hopefully, my next post will be just as upbeat!

Ahhh, peanut butter :D

I love those little snacks too, but I would figure why just one, why not 2...I am seeing the trouble with me more and more lately HA HA!!

Brand Spanking New here.... I start IP on 4/9/12 ... Im anxiously excited. I want to be successful at it soooo Im starting to prep my mind and body for the life style change next week. Im drinking more water, Im working on portion control NOW, so my system isnt in shock... My biggest challenge will be portion control and alcohol. Im a proud WINEAUX lol .... but Im sooo looking forward to getting my 1985 fineness back lol. my goal is 50lbs and a new way of "being". Im PSYCHED... not scared at all of the restrictions... just hope my discipline fairy is with me ... Glad there is a forum like this.

Welcome!!

Sounds like you are in the right mind frame for sure!! You will love the way you feel after the first couple days!! Good Luck!

Thx Jelly....
