Congrats, everyone, on another good day! We've got this! Today was tricky for me because I'm just a little under the weather anyway (cold, sore throat) and I was so crazy busy that I sorta forgot to eat a couple of times, so naturally I was quite light headed and weak. So I'm sitting down to all four cups of veggies and all 8 oz of meat tonight. Wish me luck! You're all doing so great!
Good luck! And sorry you're feeling under the weather. :/ I've started taking Airborne to build up my immune system, cause I'm ALWAYS sick, and just replaced my chewable vitamin with a tablet.
Also, is anyone seeing any body changes yet? Cause I am!
I finally decided it was time to try IP again because my spare tire was starting to develop a spare tire, and I wanted to die I was so mortified with myself. :/ But I noticed today that the second spare tire has conceded defeat! I love how quickly IP starts rebuilding my confidence.

This made me laugh out loud. Congrats on defeating that second spare tire! Haha. Awesome.
I haven't noticed any real changes yet, but I know I will. I'm trying not to weigh myself (I'm a scale addict...) till Sunday.
How are all our fellow March starters doing tonight?
Hi all, I'm another restarter. I originally started IP in 2011 and lost 60 lbs. Didn't phase off correctly and didn't watch what I ate and gained it all back. Restarted IP several times since November 2014 and haven't been able to maintain the commitment I had before. Here I am starting again, hopefully this time with the help of this tread I will have the support I guess I need.
These threads have a way of fading so lets try to keep this one going because I certainly need the support and accountability. Wish us all great success whether we are starting for the first time or start over for the umpteen time.
Thank you for writing Happy! I am here for the support, too. It is totally a mind set for me. Trying to change that.

Did they change the meat to 8 oz? When I left a couple years ago it was 5oz. Anyway, I hope you are feeling better. Being sick really throws me off balance. I hope tomorrow is better for you.
My husband and I met my son and his two children for dinner. They wanted to go to a buffet. As I walked by the tables of food I could hear it calling me. On several occasions I had to tell my "eager eating dysfunction" a big fat "NO". I ate a salad with approved vegetables, 1/2 of a baked chicken breast, and a small slice of roast beef. As I was leaving I lightly laughed at the food that was still trying to call me. �� goodbye my old friends on the tables. I can do this. YES!

It's 6-8 oz weighed before cooking. If you are a smaller/shorter person 6 is probably fine, if you are a guy or larger or taller, head toward 8, lol.

The current protocol is 8 oz.
They've tweaked the protocol several times in the past 2.5 years. I'm not sure all reasons why or if they have any data comparing success rate of previous protocols to newer ones.

I took an 8 week hiatus from the plan and now am back on track. Didn't regain anything while I was away (didn't lose either though). Peer support is my best motivator to stay OP. Looking forward to getting to know you all.
