Introducing myself!
 

Hi everyone!

I just started IP as of August 1! I'm fairly confident about it and I'm glad I found this community. I have about 90lbs I want to lose (I'm 202lbs now) but my coach only wants me to lose 50lbs for now (I'm 5'3" and she feels 90lbs is too much). Anyway, I look forward to chatting with you all!

Good luck and welcome

Hello and welcome! I want to lose a total of 80lbs, but my 1st goal was to lose 16lbs. My new short term goal is to lose another 20lbs. I'll keep setting these shorter goals until I hit my ideal weight! I had to pick short term wight goals that had meaning for me and give me satisfaction. Each shorter goal is a maximum weight from my past that I thought I would never exceed. With the classic yo-yo dieting I did though, I sure managed to exceed them! I love losing weight this way! Good luck and keep up that enthusiasm!

you will know what is right for you.:D

Welcome. I am starting my 6th week. It won't take long and you will feel right at home with the program. IT WORKS!

Today is my first day
 

In this community! I'm really excited to be taking control of my health. I currently weigh 215. I hope to lose 8-10 lbs this month.:D

Thanks for all the replies, everyone!

I think I'm reading too much into this IP stuff though, only because I know that most of the places people go to for this program are through a clinic. I'm working with someone who works out of a spa they own. Should I be worried? The protocol and products are all the same, with the same IP logo on them. It's only my 2nd-3rd day though. Any advice for how to tell if this is legit or not? On their FB website it says that they should have taken a before photo, is it true?

Welcome :)
I have been on IP now for 21 days and I use this blot daily :) I have found that any question I come up with the members here are so very knowledgeable and they are able to answer.

Welcome!:welcome3: I do to got to a clinic. My husband does and I am doing alternatives at home though I started with IP packets and as I learned more here I've switched. I'll be honest, this forum is more help than the clinic overall although they are excellent. I scanned all the protocols and I review them when I have questions. You'll do great, no worries! It's a lifestyle change. :wave:

Lol that's I do not go to a clinic....slippery ipad

Welcome :)
 

I am new here too and currently on day 6. I wish you all the success in the world! I also want to lose 80lbs... I look forward to hearing your progress!:cp:

I started on the 29th of July and my first weigh in is on the 7th of Aug. Hopefully the scales will catch up, because I haven't lost a pound yet... I am told I am prob losing inches tho.. .we will see... fingers crossed :)

Welcome! I'm on my 2nd week and loving this program. The weight is melting off and after a couple days the program is effortless. I go to a clinic and my coach is invaluable. She did take a before photo of me and she sends me a text message every couple of days to see how I am doing and to encourage me. :hug:

As you get closer to your goal you will know what is right for you. I have noticed that my body is smaller now than at the same weight in the past. I actually got some size 8's on the other day....at 150 lbs. The last time I could wear an 8 I was in the 130's! That is the great thing about IP. The fat just melts!

Good luck on your journey.

That is very encouraging! :carrot:
