Here I Am!

  • I'm new to all of this so I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong area.

    I finally pulled the trigger and successfully survived my first week following an alt IP protocol. So far, I am having great success, although the first couple of days I felt horrible However, I am down 12 lbs for WI today I even survived hosting my husbands birthday party and cooking vast amounts of food of which most I could not eat. The weird thing is while my brain knows I didn't get to eat the food, I had ZERO cravings for any of the food I saw everyone else eating. Very strange.
  • That is great! Good job.
  • WOW! 12 pounds! You did an amazing job and you should be very proud of yourself! IP Rocks!!!
  • SO happy for you!! Love that the cravings are gone!
  • Congratulations!!!
  • Thanks everyone for the encouragement and support! I've never done a diet like this one and it is taking a little getting used to. In all honesty, I've weighed myself every day because I really can't believe that much weight came off that fast???

    Holy Smokes! Where are you in Lake Zurich??? That's where I am too! Are you on Ideal Protein, or are you doing alternatives?
