Hello
 

Great to see everyone that is new here:) I am planning to start the program in a few weeks.. and am reviewing the boards for motivation and learning..

Welcome, everyone!

From what I've read, every clinic is different. I go to a naturopathic clinic. This one does not measure body fat, and only has an analog scale (so I do not know what my weight is to the 10th of a lb. - it's rounded off in half lb increments). They also didn't take my measurements until after I was already a week into the diet, so I'm not sure what my starting measurements were. I go in once a week where I get weighed and measured, and we go over any issues I'm having, as well as plan my meals for the next week. I also purchase my packets for the week at that time. Sounds like some people are getting much better service than I am, probably for the same amount of money (or less). But the diet is working, and it is comforting to know that my progress and health are being monitored by a professional. So, for now, I intend to stay put. After a couple more months, I may be more apt to consider switching to alternatives for financial reasons.

Welcome to everyone that is starting on this great protocol. My coach is through a chiropractic office so as long as they are representing the program well there is no worries to have. I am in my third week, started July 15th and the results are amazing ! Good luck to all the newbies and congratulations for wanting to change your lives !

Hi everybody! I'm new here too. Started IP on June 25th and I'm down 17.5lbs. Still have a long way to go - goal is 88lbs - but I feel great and I actually got to donate a bunch of clothes that don't fit me anymore, the best feeling ever!

I just started to read some posts and the recipes and so far, this seems like a great place - glad I found it!

Welcome! I am finishing up my second week. I am so glad I started. You will be amazed as you review this forum at the success people have on this program. Good luck to you!

Welcome everyone!

Good Morning and welcome!

I am on my 11th week. My 12th weight in is on Wednesday. So far, I'm down about 36lbs! A dress size is about 12lbs (although the W's are more like 24:) I spent almost 2 hours getting dressed this morning because I had a hard time finding work clothes that fit. All of my pants looked like they swallowed me. I starting wearing a tight 18W or ok fitting 20W. I am now down to a solid 16. My 18s are loose and 18W's are too big. I have to go through my closet this weekend and eliminate some of the stuff that's entirely too big (all of the 20W's).

I'm thrilled by my progress. I hope to loose another 25-30lbs in the next 10 weeks. I am going on a trip to Jamaica and thanks to this forum I will do phase 2 for one week and phase 3 for one week. Go to Jamacia for a week and then jump right back on the plan until Christmas. Hopefully, I will reach my goal by then:)

Again, welcome!! Starting IP is a great choice:)

3+ Weeks in and a Decision to Make
 

Hi All! I'm a little late to the party, but I'm here now. I've really been enjoying these IP message boards. I've been on IP for almost a month - started July 10th. To date I've lost 10.5 lbs and 2 inches each off bust, waist arms and hips. I'm SO very excited.

My energy level has been great. I finally stopped drinking Diet Pepsi, something I thought I would never be able to do. It has also made a world of difference.

My son is getting married Labor Day weekend and I have to make a decision whether to phase out now so I'm ready to sip champagne and eat cake or stick with the program through the wedding. I would go back to protocol after the wedding. I'm only 1/2 to 1/3 of the way to goal weight.

The weight loss and way I feel now are so addicting, I really think I'd rather stay on protocol over the 3 days of the event. I know it's easy to say that now without all the temptation of the festivities. If I stay on IP I know I won't cheat. SO it's decision time now with no turning back.

Thoughts?
