Well I hope I am coming back!! My goal is to restart IP (alternatives) On Tuesday, Jan 15th. Yes it is a long way away, but I need time for my food to come in and for me to get back in the mind set and motivated again.

I did IP from April till about June, lost some weight and felt amazing. I stopped in June when I went away for a few weeks. I came back and jumped right back on. I got so sick and starting passing out, that my doctors made me stop. I stopped and my goal was to start back up a month later. Well life got in the way and I didn't. I haven't really gain much in the time I stopped and no I haven't been eating right, especially lately. But I know I need to restart and do this for me. We also have a biggest losers competition at work, and I am going to win that thing hehe!!

I have a goal of being comfortable and not a number. I don't want to be driven by the scale this time, but by how I personally feel. I will stop IP in March when I go to FL to see my brother and his family and hope by then I am ready to be the new me!! If I can do this and keep healthy, in May I am going to jump out of a plane

I remember you...welcome back!

How have you been feeling? Did they ever figure out why you were fainting so much? Is your boyfriend still doing IP?

Sorry for so many questions! lol

The only thing they could think of is the lack of calories. I started feeling better after a week or two of eating fruits and veggies and stuff.

Hubby, well yeah he quit about a week after me and gained and gained and gained. He is a few lbs more than where he started from. He has no portion control or self control and eats horrible. He is mad at himself, especially because I did so well. He will be starting back with me though.

My first time doing IP was over a year ago and I am so ready to start again! I feel really motivated, just hoping I can stick with it!

If you have the same problem again when you start maybe you could look at the alternative program diabetics use. Wecome back!
