Hi, I started on IP on 8/7. I've had two weigh in's... my third is tomorrow. But so far I'm down about 10lbs. I'm super excited to be on this diet and hoping that I can stick with it for the long haul!

How is it going Lose2Win and Iron Woman? I'm glad to read from you!
Welcome everyone I'm glad to see so many of us, our group is getting bigger!
floridabamaboy- You can find information in this forum, there are threads about alternative products.
bolt- on your 6 lb. loss and sticking to it is the right way!!
newsluv- on your loss and good luck this week!
RefreshingMe - Congratulations on your loss! I'm nervous about mine on Wednesday, I just don't "feel" that I've lost weight or volume this week, I'll find out on Wednesday, and I'll report! I'm very proud of you!

I wish everyone a GREAT week with no cheats, always staying 100% OP because we are worth it, and we deserve to be healthy for ourselves and loved ones, and we also deserve to feel better about ourselves and look better! Please don't give up, stay strong and focused on the prize!

:congrats: ironwoman on the loss! 3.6 is awesome for the third week in!

I made a roast chicken in my crock pot today. It was a mix of seasonings rubbed into the chicken and then stuffed it with lemon and garlic. I put it on a bed of celery and baby portabellas. It was super yummy. Everyone including the kids attacked it (yay!!). I saved the broth to use for a soup.
This weekend has me scared a bit. Not that I won't stay OP but I do hate having to explain why I'm eating this and not that and why I won't have a drink, not even a glass of wine. Sometimes it's hard enough saying no to myself let alone having to say it multitudes of times to others. We're going camping with friends and I know this is what I'm in store for a bit...
And my well meaning Italian MIL is set to land on my door step Thursday. I hate saying no to her food. It makes me feel mean. But I know it's better for me to feel mean for a couple days than miserable forever because I'm always giving in...

That's one of the hard parts for me as well, "Explaining My Actions." I have family asking why I can't have certain veggies, then I have to explain that I can't have them due to my P1. It's annoying to say the least!

Hello all, I began Ideal Protein today and feeling highly encouraged by the help and success on this thread!

Lose2Win2014 I'm on my 2nd year as an empty nester with a heart on the mend, too, and I know what you mean about the diet helping you! I ended up rediscovering some old hobbies, interests, and now better health. It's good to have a focus while they are away and so great when they come home. Thankfully, that has been more often than I thought. Hoping the same for you and much success with IP!

daisy
Thanks shelby for the commiseration...
ariel- how was the WI??
I made turkey burgers (no bun for me) and turnip fries tonight. I had bought ketchup from my coach and as I was eating it I realized it has a 1 carb per serving?! I am going to have to question her about this next time... As I was under the impression unless it's 0/0/0 it can't be had...

Thanks, Daisyy and Welcome! I'm still struggling, but doing better than the first couple of days. It helps that he is doing well and loving it. What more could I ask for?

I hope the first few weeks on the diet are as easy as they have been for me. I really love this diet and feel like I am creating new patterns that I can use to be successful after I reach my goal.

Ariel Besides missing my kid, I'm doing great. Staying 100%. I'm having lots of revelations about past patterns that got me to this point. Thanks for checking on me!

How are you this week?
