Hey folks! Newbie here in the MD area. I've been avoiding starting this but I feel that it's time. I see a few active members (afbrown2,nobylspoon) here are in the DC/MD area. Could you please suggest which coaches/centers you use? I live in the Rockville area and work in Greenbelt. I don't mind driving a little if the coach is worth it. I have a pretty aggressive goal in sight, but I'm sure being active here and with the right support, I can do it. I looked on the IP website and most of the suggested centers come up as chiropractors? I just find that a bit odd, maybe someone here can help me understand why that is.
Thank you in advance!
I will try to get some information for you about clinics in your area. Most are usually in those types of offices, not many are stand alone clinics, however mine is a stand alone clinic with a medical adviser. I am on a coaches forum so I have asked there, I will let you know when I get a response if any ...Good luck in your journey

Thank you @wuv2bloved! I've procrastinated about this for so long -- hoping to get educated, prepared and start this journey in the very near future. Thank you for your help!

My new clinic is doing amazing had my first open house on the 19th of feb, 20 people came 11 signed up! so far in a week from my dieters from the other clinic we have a total loss of 45.2lbs! Anyways just thought I would stop by and say hi
That's great! Sounds like things are going great for you!!!
Hey fellas! Had WI this morning and down 4 lbs to 240. I feel like I have been stuck in the 240's forever...I was really hoping for 239 this AM, but it looks like it will have to wait until next week.
This race between Bears and Kit is pretty exciting...wonder who will reach goal first???
Hello to all the newbies....keep your head up, stick to the plan and you will have success!

Hey Beau, she just posted online she has a meeting scheduled for Reserve your seat online now at: www.CoachMindy.com, or call: 301-652-6760.
Hold on there boys, there is no real race here, since I have further to go. And I am plugging alone, doing the best I can. I envy you guys doing it with your wifes or partners, this is not that fun home alone.
Welcome Beau, you will be starting on a adventure, one that is going to make you feel really good. Find those that can support you, it is very important. And all of us are here will jump in and help. Use us as you see fit.
I am a third of my way.

Yup, we are all here for ya! I gotta tell you boys this has been my toughest week yet (#5). I haven't cheated but its been tough seeing all the guys at work and my family mowing down on all the food I used to love!! I'm all alone with this diet here also so I just got to keep my eye on the prize. I just keep telling myself that I spent the last 45 years indulging in all this junk food now I have to pay the price and suck it up!

Hang in there week 5 is the worse, your body is really getting used of the way its eating now so its thinking hmmm I guess this is how we are going to eat from now on but lets push him and see if he will bend....stay strong..YOU got this!!....I am single, doing this alone but I do have my son and his gf that I live with that are ALWAYS eating JUNK! but the taste of what they are eating doesn't even come close to the way I feel!
Hi guys.
This is my first post here and I am looking forward to being a part of this great community. I want you all to know how much you have been helping me through the first 3 weeks of my program. I have been stalking around reading posts and finding advise on what I needed. Now it is time to join in the fun, I guess I have proven to my self that this can be done.
So far I have lost 23 lbs and have been able to stop taking insulin, januvia, tricore, niacin and reduced my metphormine. I really feel like IP is a "treatment" I have needed for a long time. I finally have gotten out of my own way and now getting down to the hard work of getting better.
I look forward to getting to know everyone better.

Wi1 -12.5

Wi3 -4.8
Welcome Success!! I guess we all have different little reasons for doing IP but at the end of the day better overall health is the biggie!!! Keep up the good work you are off to an excellent start
Slight little weight lost on WI number 8. But my coach (direct descendant from Attila the Hun) was smiling!
Wowza I couldn’t believe that! She made get off the scale, then do the entire thing over again.
I saw the weight numbers and knew I lost just under a pound. Was she taking pleasure about what she was forming in her brain to really let me have it!?
Then she spoke as I was bracing myself for the wrath to come.
But she started yammering on about how great my visceral fat percentage was decreasing from week to week. (a specific type of fat that is found on the stomach, and goes by many other names 'your beer belly', 'spare tire' or 'muffin top'. Whatever you call it ) . I know Dr. Oz hates the stuff.
So that is it my fellow IPMWPSU (IP Members Who Pee Standing Up). Little weight loss, but great loss in visceral fat.

Welcome! My clinic only has offices in Tyson's and Ashburn. The staff is fantastic though.
My coach asked me to experiment this week with eating extra non-restricted. Instead of eating every 4 hours I now eat every 2.5 - 3hrs. I dropped 1.5lbs yesterday and another 1lb today. Some of it might still be water weight from my trip this weekend but regardless, I am happy with the new daily results
