I started at 360 and in the first week I lost 12.8 lbs and 7.5 inches! I'm glad I pushed myself through that first week as I was nauseous most days and was discouraged. I have my second weigh-in tomorrow but according to my bathroom scale I'm down to almost 340 for 20 lbs lost!

I can already see a difference looking in the mirror and in how my pants fit. I also was able to use the second notch on a belt that I haven't used in years!

My initial goal is to get down to 225. It's a big goal but I'm going for it, despite my not very helpful roommate who is bringing home pizza and cheese steaks every night. Why did I let him rent a room from me again? :D

Welcome to the group and to IP! Wow! 20 pounds in 2 weeks....AMAZING!!!:bravo: With weight losses like that, you will be at your initial goal weight in no time. And who knows...maybe your roommate will get on board when he sees how amazing you are doing.

I am going to borrow "give it away", if that is okay. I have heard "getting rid of it", but not giving it away! LOVE it!:lol:

Hi everyone! Congrats on your success!! We can do this. I'm on day 18 and don't even feel hungry any more. And I feel so much better than when I'm on the sugar roller coaster. I know this way of eating agrees with me. That motivates me to keep on chugging along.
Have a good night everyone :)

Made it through my 1st day on the road, over the lunch hour ! Was not sure how this was going to work. However, 1 cup raw broccoli w/IP salt and 1 cup of dill pickle spears & the IP Chocolate chip cookie worked perfectly !! All were easy to snack on while driving. Not to mention I am putting together "treat buckets" for my clients, full of Halloween candy & haven't eaten ONE PIECE !! Only day 4 on phase I for me.

Good for you! Great planning and fortitude.

I'm going to take the great advice and do my best not to touch my scale until I go to my weigh in next week. That is so HARD!! I know the number isn't everything. What I really want is for my clothes to fit better and then for them to be falling off me!!

Kicking the Diet Coke is going to be a struggle for me. My coach said I could ween myself off so I'm going to slowly reduce all week and by next week be done with it! Has anyone else kicked their caffeine habit and lived to tell??

So inspiring to hear everyones progress and how happy and excited they are. Have a great evening and a successful day on the program tomorrow!

I know what you mean!! Giving up Diet Coke was the HARDEST thing by far. I just made the decision and I try not to romanticize it! It's still a struggle but so far I haven't even had a sip! It won't kill me to give it up, but it may if I don't stop what I've been doing all these years. I just think of my poor stomach lining screaming STOP! lol

I understand that totally...just focus on yourself...your body is doing exactly as it should.

Jig,

You and I started the exact same day and have almost spot on losses too!! It's AMAZING!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!:carrot:

I started out at 395.4, first week 17.4lbs lost, second week 7.6 for a total of 25lbs. Never in a million years did I think that I would be doing THAT well! I'd be happy to talk with you any time you'd like :)

Welcome Jig! And well done with the 20 pounds! I'm sorry about the roommate eating tempting foods, but you seem to be doing just fine!! My boyfriend (who can eat whatever he wants including 4000 cookies a day and still not gain an ounce...grrrrr) has been kind enough to hide all his tempting treats from me and not eat them when I'm around. The cupboards are now empty, so long as I don't look in the cat's stoop, the dishwasher (we never use it), or his desk drawer I'm safe!

I'm a newbie and am on my 4th day. The first two days were tough, I had headaches for most of the day. On day 3 it was mostly a decline in energy that I noticed. One of my problems is that I haven't been able to eat the 2 cups of veggies that are required at lunch and dinner. Will this impact my weight loss?

Welcome! The first few days were definitely the hardest for me. I was sluggish and had headaches, but I kept drinking my water, made sure I had my salt and stuck it out. Yesterday I wasn't hungry at all (this is a first for me...EVER!).

As for the veggies...I would think this would affect your weight loss, but I couldn't tell you for sure. The veggies are there for vitamins and roughage. You definitely need both. Have you tried "snacking" on your veggies. Cut up some peppers into strips, celery, cucumber, etc. You might be able to get them in that way if you don't like putting them on your salad (that's what I do).

Good luck and welcome to IP!

Welcome Alioop!! I think it is pretty important to get those veggies in! Remember you can split them up, as a snack. I had the same problem though but I have been trying to get creative. One of my favorites is to cut up some Jicama and Cucumber, put it in a ziploc, sprinkle some Apple Cider Vinegar and water in there and it's a crunchy yummy side salad to my dinner or as a snack throughout the day. Creativity will be your friend!

Hey Kawaii! Go us! Got an extra little surprise at the doctor, I had actually lost 8 lbs so down 21 total in just over 2 weeks! Can't believe how well this is going!

A couple years ago I tried to lose weight on my own diet. I spent nearly a year and only lost about 30 lbs through diet and heavy exercise. Good, but it's funny to think I can do in about 3 weeks what took almost a year before.

I look forward to hearing from you and everyone else going forward. Keep inspiring each other!
