Make sure you are getting all your salt in. Lick some off your hand and follow up with a glass of water. Worked great for me. Most people who get that light headed, dizzy feeling need more salt.

WI last friday lost 5.8 week 6!
Thrilled. I was getting discouraged but that weigh in gave me the extra push to keep on going.

Excellent!!!!!!

Awesome! Nice reminder to us all that it will come off!

Down 32 lbs since May 9th, woohoo!

Wow RenK that's amazing! I have had some struggles staying OP 100% and so am losing a lot slower. Still happy with my losses, but stories like you inspire me to dig a bit deeper and add a few more "%" to get closer to 100

... I'm gonna go right now and restock those vitamins and refill the water bottle for tomorrow. The vitamins and water is something I struggle to get all in all the time so I'll make getting all my water in my goal this week. "Let there be pee!" (it's not a very glamorous "battle cry" but I gotta start somewhere!)
Congrats again on your great losses.

I started May 30th. I was able to stay on no problems the first week. Cheated with some chips on the second week and i felt horrible for two days afterwards, feeling very hungry. Coach said I left ketosis and was reentering.
Lost 11 lbs the first week, then with the cheating I was down another 6 the second week. Im back at 100% and hoping for a better third week.

Good going to get back on plan... best idea is to make a contract with yourself that you are going to stay 100% (write it out, sign it & post it on your fridge if you need to). You already know how a little cheat screws you up & makes you feel like crap. Why plan to do that to yourself? The firmer you stay, the quicker you get to maintenance goal!
YEAH! You can do this!

Hi Ladies,
I've just started Medifast, could anyone tell me why you went to IP instead of medifast. I'm wanting to give Medifast a real try but will be ready to switch when I run out of it for a change,

Thanks

Awesome. news RenK! Keep up the great work. I started incorporating walking, kayaking and biking in my routine ( which is hard with mandatory OT fight now). K am hoping it will help me w a good WI this week.

Hi Finally Thin-
I chose Ideal Protein because a fmaily member reached his goal on the program and I knew what the program was so I never looked at Medifast or any other program due to the visiable success I had whitnessed.

Im sure there are many successful Medifast people as well, I just dont happen to know anyone that has opened up to me about their weighloss journeys.

After a very disappointing WI on Monday I decided to remove the restricted item from my daily intake as I think that is why I only lost point 7 of a point this week. I guess it is a restart and maybe my body only allows me to have 25 grams of carbs a day. Also eliminating zuchini from my vegetable list since it seems those have a lot of carbs in it.
Very frustrating ....I have even started to do walking and biking last week. Guess I will stick to my kayaking to burn calories. And yes when I exercise I do take an extra packet.

another 2.8 lbs lighter! I am so glad because we had a family vacation, where everyone, was eating so much food and not once did I cheat!! NO ONE BITE! It took all my will power but I didn't. I was so excited...My SIL law even said on about the cake, "But see the actual strawberries?!! It is sooo good." Nope, this girl stood her ground!

Since I started out on the smaller size, I know that 4lbs loss is a big stretch, even 3 lbs so I am excited! For me that victory was the icing on the cake of my weight loss...had to share!!

I am sooooooo excited! I started on 5/8/14 at 154. For the last 2 weeks we have been on vacation in California (Disney, Sea World, etc). Weighed in today and I have lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks. I am sooo surprised! I am on plan with no cheats! None! Keep going y'all -- this works!!

6 week mark - nearly 21 lbs gone for me & 25+ for my husband. Amazing.
