What, you didn't like the vol. 2 thread I started? LOL I wonder if the moderators can close one of them.

Other thread closed! :D

I say: I'm going to start seeing Renee Haydel Trimble, CFT at Healthy U Weight Management, LLC on Jefferson Hwy.

If you are going to do the diet on your own, where are you going to get the IP food?

I was going to ask when we needed to go to Vol 2 when I was on this morning. Figured I would wait till lunch.:cool:

Started getting the food 2 weeks ago off of Proti Diet.com. damn near the same. working just fine too. my coach just wasn't cutting it for me couldn't answer any of my questions.

Sounds good. Guess only thing you will really be missing is the measurements.

nope not at all. i have the same tape at home and she only measures my stomach any way. so got that covered as well.

Actually it isn't. You can still squeeze a couple of posts out of it if you wanted to.

NO, this boy did not have a rut ro! mammoth357 is just trying to be horrid/helpful. :devil:

Me? Horrid? Heck, I am not even British...I'm Italian! It's not possible for us to be horrid! haha!

Wow, that is some serious TVs. :dizzy: I might have to get in touch with you for that.

Way off topic here, but man....

I just found out something here at work that's a bit crazy. We usually have to get a computer certification once a year. That cert is about 25% of our yearly review. I found out my cert had changed from Support Windows 7 to MS SQL Server 2008 about a month ago. Well, I found out today that this cert is going to be 70% of my yearly review! Nothing like a bit of pressure. LOL

AHEM!!!!.....what about me???...geeze....just kidding...lol
You got this....pressure is good sometimes..breathe in....breathe out....could to 10...say to yourself...I can do anything...I can do anything....I got this!!....Good luck :hug:

Thanks WUV.

NSV for this weekend: National Guard duty. I just got my uniform ready for this weekend. I got to take all the patches off my Large/Short uniform to my Medium/Short uniform!! I can't wait for everyone to see me. I had to move to Large/Short about 3 years ago. Folks will be so confused that this short round guy is now getting to be a short fit guy!

That is awesome! Now go shave. :D

Glad to see you found us. I hope you are feeling better. It's 4:11am, just shaved/showered about to load the car and head out.

"See" you all Sunday evening!!

SGT Desselle :carrot:

Have a great weekend all and drop some pounds!

JW: Great job on the uniform!
Cheers

Hey folks. Just opened an email today from my clinic. They want permission to share some of my photos and share a 50-100 word narrative from me at an upcoming convention. I'm honored and nervous.

Man that is early! Have a good weekend drill. Be careful.

So I had my first weigh in on Friday. Down 6.6lbs and 2% body fat. I was kind of hoping for one of the double digit losses I have seen from others, but I'm not complaining.

Can't wait to see what happens after a month.

Quick question though. I was rereading the phase one sheet today and I notice it says no frying. Why is frying bad if I'm not using any more than a teaspoon of oil?

Congrats on the request usmcvet. That's great. You will be a great ambassador for the program.

Way to go!!

Ditto from me too Vet...AWESOME! Take your time and write about how your life is different now from when you started IP maybe...gonna be hard to keep it to 50 words! Good luck! You will do fine!
Jake

Nice:D You have worked really hard and I know sharing your experiecne with others will make you feel even better about what you have accomplished.

Well...just hit the scale and had a 6lb loss this week...better then my 4lbs I seem to usually get! Just lowered my goal down from 240 to 225 as it seems the gut will not be where it used to years ago when I was 240. Man,...getting older sure changes things! Used to be at 240 I was a rock hard beast...now judging by how much fat there still is looks like 225 may be a better goal.
Still obviously very pleased with losing 49lbs in 56 days.

I notice where my belly fat used to be hard, it is now jelly-like. Gross. I am guessing that as water is utilized from the fat cells first before they get used as energy via ketosis, the fat cells become less dense...and thus more jelly-like. Like if you remove every other cell it all becomes less "dense". It really is gross and is a tremendous motivator to push the diet harder and get that crap gone and off me. Sure as h*ll hope I am not going to need a wheel barrow to cart around extra skin when this is over...
Just thinking out loud.
Hey, have a great week gents, and we Harley folk's say:
"Keep the shiny side up"!
Cheers
Jake

Wow Jake. Great job on your weight loss. Almost a pound a day. I hope I can achieve results like that.

Have a great week everyone.

I've noticed the same thing!

Way to go Jake! I am starting to get a little concerned about the extra skin thing as well. The last 10 lbs that I have lost, has not been around my belly. I hoped to lose a couple of more inches around my belly, but it's staying the same. Time will tell.

Guys’,
I noticed several months back I had a lot of extra skin where most of my belly used to be:D. I started eating the IP products that have collagen several times a week and taking a high quality supplement every day. I have really noticed a difference in the size of the belly roll at the bottom I guess you could call it. Looks like the loose skin is shrinking back where it belongs. The girls have a thread about collagen suppliments that helped.

WI Saturday was not all that bad. Lost 1.8# but she said I was retaining a lot of water. She said I had lost 8# of fat but the water weight was keeping the scale from moving. This happened back about week 10 so I know the big loss is coming when the woosh fairy visits.

Jake my motorcycle buddies hung the name “Chainsaw” on me several years ago after a long night with 14 of us sharing a suite at a hotel (I told them they needed ear plugs but they were too drunk to listen). My vest is a 6x. Now I have to figure out how to move all the patches to a new one that doesn’t have near as much fabric to sew to.

Hey all

Well I am back!!!!! Started IP on Jan 24 this year and after 15 weeks I was down 70 pounds, didn't not cheat once!, I phased off completely and maintained 158-162 lbs for 5 weeks, 5 days of routine, and 2 cheat dinners, and here is when the but comes in! Then hard to tackle 3 months of Mum and Mum in law at our house, I'm and Aussie living in Canada

So needless to say my mother being Italian, and a excellent cook and bakery shopper I couldnt be rude and say no to all the treats she cooked and brought, needless to I placed on 12 lbs in those month and decided to jump back on the kart for a month to get back down and continue on the IP way of things! Day 1 today and from what I remember it was easier than the first time around!

Looking forward guys!
