Lost 3.6 Lbs this week! Nice to see some scale movement. This means I have now lost the 4 lbs that I gained a couple of weeks ago plus a little bit more...boy if I could have a couple weeks like this going forward that would be great. Here's for trying to do a repeat! Even had two lows to deal with meaning extra food!:carrot:

Hi Ladies,

This question is for you. I have been on IP for 1 month now and I have always lost 3 pounds or more every week. I also have an IUD and never get my period (TOM) until this month, now all the sudden my period is back (the day I weigh in) and I only lost 1.8 pounds. My coach says that really I am holding water weight and if I had not been holding water weight i would have lost around 3-4 pounds. Can anyone else shed some light or have a similar experience? Thank you

There was a good discussion about this the other day:

Also, you still had a loss - congrats!

Thank you and Thank you

My roommate has guests over and the smell of pizza is permeating the apartment.

40 minutes until my dinner is ready. Made myself a spinach and cucumber salad with fresh basil, olive oil and apple cider vinegar to tide me over. Delicious, and I wasn't tempted by the pizza. :)

Well, may be a little. But I over came it! :D

Yayyyyyyyy ImAShark !!!!!!!!!

L:dizzy::carrot:

thinkthin -- I do not care for the taste much either…kinda chalky. That being said, I have been using it for my second week of P3 almost every day if only because it is so much easier than making a "real" lunch for myself. We were away on vacation as well, so it's hard to know exactly where my weight will land when I next WI, due to all the meals out, traveling, etc. Will check back in and report when I do. Still seems strange that we're the only two that have heard of this!

Happy April everyone!

Week One Down!
 

My first week weigh in and I am down 4.6 WooHoo!
My micro-mini goal is to be down 8-10 before my surgery on Monday, I am hoping to have a good week. I need to get all of my water in which I know makes a difference. Not as large of a lost as some, but I will take it.
I ate pretty clean before I started IP, just could not get the scale to move. Now it is moving in the right direction. :carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot:

I've been hangry since Sunday. I feel like a teenager with acne (usually never have issues, even when I was a teen!), moody...I guess I must have thrown myself out of ketosis somewhere along the way with too many little "extras" (assorted WF products everyday, stevia in my hot tea, a handful of edamame that I knew better than to eat)...BUT I still showed a loss of 2.8 lbs for the week. Skin is looser, fat rolls are softer, shirt size down from 5XL to a loose 2XL, I'm down in pants size from a tight 24W to a snug 18W.
We'll be leaving for a 2 week roadtrip through AZ and UT on the 10th and my IP foods, supplements, every day meds and about half of my spice cabinet is packed and ready to roll! Restaurants along the way have been googled and meal items chosen, hotels re-confirmed, itinerary printed out for us and the kids (just in case something happens), credit card company notified that charges will be occurring out of state...I think all I need to do is pack my clothes then get in the car! Been planing this trip for nigh on 25 years! Sort of... I always wanted to retrace part of our wedding trip and see more of Arizona & Utah. Now is the time!

I've done a quick search and didn't see what I'm looking for. Forgive me if I've missed it.

Is there a link or some type of chart that shows restaurant choices that have ip friendly food?

WTG Frawniemae on those pounds gone for good!

Also I am in awe of your super-planning, down to the restaurants and all!! That's serious "bidness" lady!! :)

WTG Frawniemae! YOu are amazing! I love watching your ticker! I hope you have an amazing TIme on your trip!

I had my weigh-in on Monday evening, but this is my first time I've gotten a chance to post! I had a 5lb loss. This is after losing less than a pound last week (TOM). My dad saw my DH and I this morning and said, "Wow your diet is really working. You both are looking very slim." That made me feel good. I'm still worried about my trip to the beach/music festival in May, but frawniemae has inspired me with all of her planning and packing! Everyone have a great rest of your week!

It is weird that we're the only two that have heard of this. I wonder why that is. Maybe some clinics decided not to go that route? I'm not sure. My clinic is in Connecticut -- are you from Connecticut? Good luck at your weigh-in.
