Hi everyone!

I thought I should introduce myself since I plan on getting support from this board to get me through the program since this board is the reason I chose Ideal Protein So my name is Melanie and I live in Quebec, following everyone's good advice and encouragements, I started IP yesterday

I am honestly not finding it hard and have not really felt hungry... not sure why cause the diet seems to have the opposite effect on most people... All this to say that so far I consider myself pretty lucky and I am also quite excited and hoping to get good results like I have read about on this forum!

I look forward to reading about everyone's journey's

So here is to our great success!!

Hello Guil, I am new too. I am on my third week. I don't post too much, but I did want to welcome you. It seems most folks must be on the East coast on this board, because there are not many evening posts. Good luck. I am really finding this diet to be easier to stick too. Oddly enough the fewer choices makes it all easier for me. And, I have never lost 8 lbs in 2 weeks in any diet. Keep us posted on your success.

Hi,

Three weeks into it myself, once I was into it for about 3 days I found it relatively easy to stick to. I wish you the best of luck with it.......I lost 24 pounds in three weeks.......that's over a pound a day so I know this diet works At any rate welcome.........this is a great site with tons of resources

I started only a week and a half ago myself and I felt a little hungry day 3 or 4 but not really since then. Welcome to the group I hope we can help each other.

Welcome. I am fairly new to this site too, on IP for 6 weeks. Glad to meet some other new people!

welcome, everyone to the boards and to IP!

Welcome!

I didnt have hunger the first two day, actually couldnt get all my food down on day 2. You may have some hunger issues a little later. If you do, just ask on the daily chat and you will get loads of advice!

I started IP also after reading the IP threads here. I wanted to do some research before commiting to an expensive plan. It's the best thing I ever did.

I started on Tuesday and have felt pretty good. Yesterday I had a little mid afternoon "blah" but I drank a cup of decaf hot tea and it seemed to help. I have found it nice and straight forward to follow.

I am excited to be on this journey and cannot believe the support and guidance this board provides! Here is to a good first week with many to follow!

Welcome to you! I'm in week 16, the lack of options has made this diet easy for me as well. Occassionally I feel a little hunger, I drink more water or have a little extra meat or veggies or a cup of coffee and it's fine. This is the most awesome thing I've ever done for myself, congrats to all of you for making the commitment. Enjoy the journey!

Welcome!!! just going on to week 2-3 and had my first weigh in. Was excited! The funny thing is my cravings for other foods are gone or maybe that's my will power! Keep going, see the results makes it easier to lose

Im going to see an Ideal Protein consultant tomorrow evening, and Im super excited! I've been reading posts on here all week, and after seeing all the amazing comments and results, I decided that there's no way I CAN'T give it a shot.

I'm going to be on here lots looking for encouragement and support, as I am looking to lose half my weight! I'm going to take the weekend to get in the zone, and start strong on Monday... wish me luck!

I'm new as well. I started on September 24 using alternatives and did that for two weeks. WI #1 -5.6 WI #2 -2.4. I got so bored with what I was allowed to eat using real food I couldn't wait to get a hold of the IP food! What a difference it's made after only 3 days! I love, love, LOVE the food and the ease of packing my lunch for work, etc. I can't wait for my first weigh-in for IP on Tuesday to show my results.

Congrats to all the other newbies here!

I'm doing the 30 by Christmas challenge too, Alma4343!! Good luck to you!

I can't believe the amount of people doing this program and so much positive feedback! I still can't understand how i did not here about it sooner! I also started with research cause I was actually looking at another program but could not find any feedback and then I found this forum which had me convinced within 2 days that the expense was definately worth it!

The variety is definately a plus i always look forward to trying the different IP products and have not had the same thing twice yet and so far I like them all I also hade the big mac in a bowl tonight wich was soooo good!

Welcome to all the other new comers

And to those who have been on the program for a while your amazing results are the most motivation I have encountered in a long time!

Love this forum already!
