Thanks for updating me. I haven't been to a clinic for many months so I didn't know we had BBQ chips! I just have the "ridges" and they were restricted. I'm using up old IP products and most of mine expired Sept/Oct 13. I guess I need to make a trip to a coach soon if there are CHIPS available! LOL

Hello, I M new to this and have been on ideal protein for a month. I am close to my goal weight now because I only had 20 pounds to lose but have not lost much since the first week. I lost 12 pounds the first week and barely 2 since then. I am a bit frustrated. Has this happened to anyone else out there?

12 pounds the first week is amazing. However what is typical is big loss week 1 and maybe 2, and then it evens out to much smaller numbers. Part of the 12 pounds is glycogen or something (I forget) but as soon as you go off this diet, you will probably put 3-5 pounds back on as soon as you start eating carbs regularly again. (Don't want to scare you -- it's just the chemical reality of how this diet works)

Yes gaining bAck is easy for sure but fortunately I'm not a big carb eater but I do have a Sweet tooth that has always been my problem which of course is where I get most of my carbs from. Hopefully this time , will stop eating before it get back to where I began.

Reenhag...borrow away!! You are young and can make lots of memories! Our spouses support this, and never felt left out because one day we won't be 5 anymore...and they know we would regret not doing this. I also host sister weekends. I have the most bedrooms in my house, and my kids are both gone...plus we have no pets...and dh goes to vist one of our grown daughters when they all come so we can have a 3 day Pj party. We try to do this about every other year...

Excellent! I love the PJ party idea! And after losing my brother in 2012, I know that one day we won't all be together, either, and that it can happen anytime. (One big motivator for starting IP!) I love my big, crazy family, and treasure making memories with them, as silly as they may be!

Thanks! I got another NSV today, too: one of my MALE colleagues (the art teacher) told me that he could tell I've lost weight. :D

Awesome!
