I have been posting so much on the daily threads that I have neglected the newbie thread. I had my second WI yesterday and am down another 4 pounds for a total of 10 in two weeks. While I had hoped for more the first two weeks based on what others my size who want to lose as much as me have lost I am still happy with 10 pounds in two weeks. This site has been so helpful to me that I told my coach about it.
I have even had an NSV already in that my jeans are fitting better. And did I mention I have lost 4 inches off of my waist??? I am so happy to have found IP and 3FC!

AWESOME!!! you should be so thrilled with 10 lbs in 2 weeks.... that is a lot of weight!!
Good afternoon Newbies!!! I'm excited for my 3rd weigh in even though I've been OP for almost 5 weeks... due to the power outage in CT, I wasn't able to go to 2 of my WI's! Definitely had a lot of stress from work the past two days and normally I would have gone to Burger King and had a burger, large fries and a Coke to help me cope but this time I find that I'm not craving food, I'm finding that I would rather do almost anything else than emotionally eat which is a HUGE NSV for me! Hope everything is having a successfull OP week!!
Thanks WUV, but I must admit that if I was home, I'd likely be more concerned with the scale and the number. It's circumstances that are forcing me to approach it differently. That said.... According to my Dr., her goal for me is an 88.2 lb loss and a drop in my viseral fat %. According me me, sure I care about my health. I also want to feel good tying my shoes, hiking on an old familar trail that I once did with relative ease, wearing those old Eddie Bauer, torn and faded jeans again. I fly every two weeks for work...I want to feel more comfortable in the plane seat and as it stands, that seatbelt doesn't have much more stretch to it. So for me, it's about comfort and looks and being able to move through the world with ease. I'm tired of lugging it around. And like it or not, the world treats heavy folks differently. I want the same opportunities for myself as others are afforded.
It IS about one day at a time. And when I dislike the flavor of a new packet, I think, it's only one meal. That's the thinking today....I know there will be days ahead when I'll need y'all to pull me from the trees
I can completely understand where you are coming from!! Talk about being an inspiration!!! You know where you want to go and you have the right frame of mind to get you there! Keep up the good work!

You can not boost your ketosis, Just follow the program and you will lose weight. You can't make things happened faster than they happen. Your body has a mind of its own.
I initially lost about 40 Pounds over a couple of years and felt and looked great. I had an operation a little while ago and stopped exercising and started eating too much junk food. The weight is creeping back on and I need to lose 10 pounds before a wedding in December.
Are there any groups or threads within 3fc for small weight losses? The first time I lost weight, I found the last 10 pounds the hardest, and it's even harder this time round. I've tried searching in the forum but no luck yet!
Wishing all of you good luck on your weight loss journey!

What type of program are you wanting to follow? There has been some here who have lost small amounts of weight. Look at the very first post of this thread and read the sticky's, There is a link for Alternatives, I think that would be a good thing for you. Its not as pricey as IP but you will see results
Hi everyone! I had some ups and downs last week, had a really upsetting day on friday and normally when that happens I would be eating all kinds of bad food but I kept on track. I had my 4th WI today and I lost another 3 pounds!!! a total of 20 pounds!!! On Friday it will be a month since I've started IP, I'm so happy that I went on it. It gives you such a great feeling when you can put clothes on that you haven't been able to wear for quite a while. I hope everyone else is doing well and having a successful week!!!
Tomato Basil soup - didn't care for it
Chicken soup - good
Vegetable Beef soup - good
Blueberry Pancakes - good
Maple Oatmeal - so/so (was better with some cinnamon in it)
Chocolate Pudding - good
Butterscotch Pudding - okay (I prefer chocolate though)
Hot Cocoa - good
my protidiet stuff came in the mail yesterday... the hot cocoa is awesome and so is the grape juice!!! Thank you for the recommendations
Hi All of you Wonderful IP supporters.
Just had my 2nd WI yesterday and I lost 5lbs and 2 inches all over so a total of 3.8 inches and 7.8 lbs total in two weeks. I am so excited. Goodbye 4 Ev'r 160's hello to the downward scale to my ultimate goal. Thank you all for your inspiration and help. I love IP and my new friends on here who help me to stay motivated.
I'm a newbie, I started Nov. 3rd. I was tired of being gross looking. I don't know my stats but will weigh Friday at 8:15 a.m. I'm loving this diet and am looking forard to seeing the change. CK
