end of week 4
 

I had a slip up this weekend and drank from the sinful wine glass. Trying not to beat myself up anymore about it and not finishing my first month with a 20lb loss. I had reached it on Sat morning then I think the wine must have set me back over 2lbs.

I keep thinking, regardless, when on any other diet that I have been on, did I loose 17 lbs in a month?! NEVER

Lesson learned, back on track. Lets see what July brings. First month on IP and down 17. That is something to be proud of!

Good luck June started for July!

Lala- don't beat yourself up. You can only look forward. Congrats on a good month!

AFM- wroking on finishing my first week. Weigh in on Wednesday. I know I have lost a TON of water, I can see it in my ankles and feel it in my joints already.

Lala - You got this right.. 17 pounds is a big deal.. dont beat yourself up..

So.. I am not a tea drinker.. but I bought Organic Green tea from Trader Joe's this weekend. Tried some today and it was ok... may be I will get used to it after a while.. Just wondering if it is ok to drink Green tea (may be I could add some lemon) ..

Had to stay back late in the office and I ended up having the brocoli and spinach soup from Panera .. definitely over the carb limit today.. hoping it wouldnt effect my loss for the week.. planning to eat all unrestricted the rest of the week.. :(

yippie for June starters! I started on the 8th :) how is everyone doing? Happy IP OP days!!

Just tried the Cinnamon Apple Tea and it reminded me of drinking red hots. :lol:

I'll stick with the Detox Tea (Vanilla taste) or my Extra SleepyTime Tea.

kissi - your avatar gives me a double take every time I see it. I have to really think about what it is. I won't even tell you what my brain "sees" some times.LOL

I started June 28. So far so good. I just had headaches on day 2 and I was dreading day 3(yesterday) . I actually was feeling better and now I'm thinking am I even doing it right? Checked the scale ... Not an ounce less! Hopefully I'm in ketosis today and can see the change by Friday :). Goodluck to all of us. Xx

I started on the 24th. My first weigh in was yesterday and I lost 12 pounds. Yay! :) I am so glad I found this site! We can do this!

That's awesome!!!!!

Thanks :) I'm sure a lot of it was water weight but it was great to see results!

Congratulations! IP works! Keep up the great work.

I started IP on June 25 and tomorrow is my first weigh in! This morning, I stepped on my scale at home and if it's correct, I've lost 6 lbs in 6 days! Of course, tomorrow will be the true test. I have been hungry but I find the hardest thing is giving up the bad habits I've acquired over the years. I pray I don't return to those habits and am glad for the support everyone has for one another!

I'll be weighing in with you! KMFX for good weigh ins for both of us!

Goodbye June, Hello July!!
 

Hope everyone's weigh-ins went well. Those first few weeks of big losses are great. Now it is slow and steady wins the race.

I am done crying in my wine glass, stalls your weight loss by 2-3 days so not worth it unless it is a damn fine glass of wine! Lesson learned. 2-3 days is roughly 32-48 dollars in IP packets less for alternatives. That is an expensive two glasses of wine. Just sayin'!

LOL! I agree
