I got the hair compliment again yesterday.
Ended up telling the person all about IP, after telling her what was REALLY going on & she was interested...

I really SHOULD get a new hairdo...at least they'd be complimenting something real!

Lisa, get that new hairdo...what do you wanna bet THEN everyone will be asking if you lost weight!!!! :lol:

:rofl:
You made me truly LOL and spit out my water!
(and don't you wish you could really LYAO? I'd be laughing all the time!)

This is so very true. Just a few areas where I lost girth but wasn't being measured: My face, across my belly button (and I SWEAR weeks where my measured spots didn't change, THAT is where the weight came from!), my calves, my FEET.

There are no tricks. The fat will come off in its own time, in its own way. But it WILL come off, and in the end that's what matters!

It took me 6 weeks to lose anything in my thigh!

You do lose inches all over, I wasn't losing much in my waist but above my waist I had lost tons (didn't look pregnant anymore) so I knew I was still losing inches just not where they were measuring!

My first 15 lbs lost was all boobs and butt. Thank goodness the belly caught up!

I think I just lost another inch off my butt because this thread made me LMAO! Thanks for the natural stress relief.

I really don't mean to start threads that have already been started. I'm sorry if this is annoying. I have a hard time finding threads that have already been started. I use the Search button. I put in losing inches and i get a million threads where someone used the word inches once. So, I apologize. :>

I think the change in inches depends on the amount of subcutaneous vs visceral fat you have. I seem to lose inches faster than pounds. My coach calls me a marshmallow.

Becca-

IMO, the 3fatchicks search feature isn't that great. Instead of using the 3fatchicks search feature, I have found that often I get better results if I use google and "3fatchicks ideal protein" plus whatever term I want to search. For example, I would google search "3fatchicks ideal protein inches vs pounds" or "3fatchicks ideal protein inches vs lbs" for this topic. I also try variations with "IP" instead of "ideal protein". Try it and see if it give you any better results. Interestingly, using abbreviations like "lbs" instead of "pounds, or "ip" instead of "ideal protein" can yeild completely different, but on-topic, results.

I use to blink my eyes real quick and twitch my nose...think "I Dream Of Jeanie"... LOL!!!

Yep, I tried that for years, too. It's ultimately what got me needing IP!:lol:

I'm on day 3 and I already felt that my jeans fit better!!!
So I guess I'm not as bloated :)

Oh Willi -- I thought I just had FAT. Now I have to decide if I've got vicious fat or some other kind of 5 syllable fat?? :dizzy: (jk -- I know you didn't say vicious... but them there were pretty big words to describe the jelly in my belly... I understood the "marshmallow" reference tho':D)

Bwahahahahahaha!!!!
