  • 97 pounds in approx 7 months.
  • Started June 11. Today is July 21. 40 days - 37 pounds so far! Pretty crazy, huh?! In the groove.......

    Motivators:
    1.I'm wearing pants I haven't worn in 12 years. 4 inches off my waist in 40 days! 2 1/2 inches off my neck and 3 off my chest.

    2. If I cheat one time with sweets, I'm out $90 in food and a whole week of progress. Plus another week to get back on track and back in ketosis!

    3. Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.
  • Congrats to everyone on their awesome losses! I'm in my third week and have lost just over 17 lbs. It feels great!
  • ccgirl-congrats on a huge loss your first week!
  • I've lost 48 pounds in 15 weeks. Best diet I've ever done. (I cheat a little too but never with carbs.)
  • I love this thread! All of your losses are so amazing and motivating! I started IP six weeks ago and had to switch to alternatives a week later. But, with the help and support here I am down 20 pounds in six weeks. I am 57 and post menopausal. That feels so WONDERFUL! My daughter keeps saying, "Wow Mom, twenty pounds!". This is definitely a new way of life for me.
  • Just throwing my # in the hat: I'm a slow n steady, but even at that, 13 weeks and 31.6 pounds, makes me say WOOHOO!

    Congrats Kaypix! You are one of my Hero's here. Slow is how I lose and slow and steady will get me there.

    Great idea! I am never going to lose at the rate I would have 30 years ago.....but I am thrilled with how I am losing now! You look wonderful! I can't wait till I get back in the "hundreds" it's been more than 12 years.
  • my counsellor doesn't feel i'm doing well. not sure why i'm not losing much. she just criticizes everything i do. like the diet isn't hard enough. i was originally 58 lbs. week 1 lost 5lbs, week 2 lose 2 lbs, and week 3 a 1.5lbs. very little inches lost. why doesn't she help me figure this out. frustrating.
  • 27.8 lbs in 8 weeks..IP rocks!

    i usually have the shake for breakfast and a coffee with little milk, 2c. cucumber for lunch and a shake, snack i usually have in the afternoon (usually the zippers), chicken or tilapia or steak for dinner and a salad, no tomato with WF dressing.

    every time i come home from my wi i feel like i want to quit all together. don't know what to do.
    she keeps telling me people are losing about 10 a week and inches. yesterday i got on the scale and i was down 2.5 lbs and today i was back up a pound. not sure why it fluctuates like this.
