Hey everybody! I have a dilemma! Ive been reading lots of posts and tons of wonderful information but I don't really quite see the answer I need. I'm currently on week 2 of IP. First week was rough but lost 9.6 pounds! Now my problem is that in 4 weeks I will be in Vegas celebrating my birthday. Ive read a lot in the travel section and have some ideas but I really think its unrealistic that I will comply with making shakes and other things in my room... just being honest. So has this happened to anyone else? How much weight did you gain back? I read somewhere you are supposed to transition out of IP? What happens if you don't? I really don't want to gain much back (who does?) but I will get right back on track once I get home. I guess I just need some feedback and advice... thank you!

Drive by post....I was just reviewing my journal I kept when I first started IP. I really need to start back up that habit of keeping a daily journal. In my first 6 weeks on plan, I lost 21 pounds. Wow! Looking back makes me realize I CAN DO THIS!

My friend was at kickboxing class today (I couldn't go since I sprained my ankle) and she heard that someone lost 15 lbs in the challenge. I would venture to assume it is the lady who is in first.

I will try my best the next 3 weeks... I am thinking of doing the boot camp for 4-5 days to see if it helps. When I did IP the first time, I lost 3-4 lbs a week and this time, besides my first week of 6 lbs, it has been 2 lbs a week this time around. Granted, I have less to lose now so not sure if more is possible.

Any advice would be appreciated! :)

.44 is not a very big difference. :D And 15 pounds! Does she have a LOT to lose?

If you do boot camp, still drink lots and lots of water and maybe 1 T oil? Pat, what do you think?

Drive by, me too. Waiting for company. I really wish my old computer hadn't crashed because I'd like to see exactly what I did. But I never lost those kind of pounds in 6 weeks. I thinkn my biggest all time loss was almost 4 pounds.

Time to start a new thread as this one is over the limit.
