Good morning Augusters! WI 9, just finished 8 weeks, down a total of 26.2 lbs! Unbelieveable! I still struggle with hunger but boy, can't argue that IP works!! My jeans that I've been hanging on to for 10+ years still don't fit around the middle - guess that's a combo of getting older and fast weight loss. thanks to all for your support, it's made such a difference! Happy weekend.
Thanks slownsteady and Schenectady.
I do think this forum provides so much help and support. It's nice to share our successes and the bumps in the road. It's a journey.
Checking in on the August thread...excited to say I lost 4.9 at my weigh in. I am surprised and happy to have a nice sized loss as I get closer to goal. I know it won't happen this way every week
12 weeks on a weight loss plan. No cheating. Wow.
Sorry to be so "yay me", I'm just on a little IP high today.
Have a great weekend all. You have the power... IP POWER
Congrats! Yay, you! And, in turn, this inspires me. Keep it up!

Wish my clinic weigh in would show 8 lbs down from the last time I weighed in, but alas, I'll be happy with the 1 that it will (hopefully) show! Just being back in control feels soooooo good!

Never, ever apologize for being proud of yourself.
My DH tells me frequently: If it were easy, everyone would do it.
To survive through everything life throws at us and STAY on plan, no matter what, takes A LOT of perseverance.

So I started a two days before August 1st, but I horned my way into the August group. (I'm not sure there even was a July group?) I just couldn't be happier! I am a bit over 3 months into the IP diet ... I have had no cheats, I lost 63 pounds, and my waistline has sucked in 10.5 inches. I feel amazing! Just one little tiny plateau in the low 270's, otherwise my losses have been pretty much straight down.
I am wishing everyone in this thread and on this board continued success and insanely great willpower to stick with it! YOU CAN DO IT!
(I am blowing a bit of dieting willpower fairy dust now.)

Hope everyone is enjoying what's left of the weekend!
I had a big closet purge today, which felt great. I had done some closet shopping previously but hadn't yet gotten rid of some of the bigger sizes. I've been wondering why I was holding on to them - I definitely don't plan on going back down that road again! I don't want to keep those things as a crutch in case I do - better for me to have the attitude that I will only keep getting smaller from here. So now I have a bag of sized XLs, 16s, and 18s destined for goodwill, and a closet full of only size 12s (which don't fit yet but will soon!) and 14s. I feel lighter already just having those other things out of there!

congrats Kelliemomo3! Isn't it wonderful to get a little happy surprising scale bump now and then? Yay!
Avalon you are amazing. And inspiring.
Good morning all: happy Monday!
Thank you for all the congrats on my weigh-in. I am still smiling. Trying to save all that positive energy up for the weigh-ins that annoy me happy and grateful for the progress. (And grateful for you all too)
ecd, avalon, kelli.......incredible continued losses, great job!
Later today I will have my first weigh-in since the beginning of October, at which time I left for vacation for 3 weeks (100% OP during), then returned and had a 1 week "lapse" followed by last week getting back on track. So, we'll see where I "officially" am today after 5 weeks without a weigh-in - I really have no idea as I refuse to get back on the scale at home - which was part of my undoing when I got back from vacation. I think I am at least back to where I was at my last weigh-in, but hoping to be at least a pound or two down from there. I hate that I've virtually lost a whole month of time by 1 week of messing up, but what is past, is past, and I can only go forward from here!
Have a great Monday everyone!! I'll update my ticker later today. Wish me luck!
I am there with you, slownsteady, although I am still working to make it back to where I was before I 'detoured'. Five more to go which I hope disappear this week.
Struggling still to get my mind back where I need it but started the day bright and early, up and cleaning, keeping busy.
Down 5 LBS at my weigh in today!! Some might think that's not so exciting since my last weigh in was 5 weeks ago , but I am taking it as a MAJOR victory because I had a MAJOR (week long) slip up a couple of weeks ago, got back to 100% last week, and now I'm back on track and LOSING again!
AND, I'm just 1.5 lbs from being in the 80's! Looking forward to that. This provided a MUCH needed boost to my confidence, AND determination!
