Hi Everyone - I first heard of Ideal Protein early last week and signed up with a local clinic a couple days later. I am a chronic dieter and I couldn't believe I never heard of this program. I'm very excited about this journey. The success I see on this site is very encouraging. I'm 5 days in and so far so good! First week weigh in is Wednesday. There is so much info on this site! You guys are fantastic!

day 1 of phase 1 starts tomorrow!!!
 

lets do this! Operation IP is in full effect!

This is a great place to be,
Ton of support, knowledge and fun info ;)

Welcome and as you said... Lets do it!;)

I'm been on it two weeks today exactly and I am soo pleased. Sure I would LOVE to have the pistachio cake with icing that I dreamt about the other night( yes, Im dreaming of food) but I know I got to the weight I was because of the choices I ate. So that thinking makes it better. However, it did not begin to get easier for me until about a week and a half in. It will get easier I promise.

I have a question about the vegetables. How important is it to measure them? Is 2 cups a minimum or a maximum?

4 c / day max (and min)
You should be measuring both meat and veggies raw

I want to lose 107 pounds and so far I have lost 5. Just starting to crave sweets, I am trying to stay strong. So far my only side effects have been a few dizzy spells and massive break outs on my face.:wave:
