Hey BetsyAnn! Stay strong! It will pass in a few days! Definitely load up on your unlimited vegetables! If you like tea - drink lots of decaf teas. I love decaf peppermint tea, it is very fulfilling and makes you feel a lot more satisfied!

I didn't phase off correctly, went back to my old habits and gained it all back plus some. So happy to be back on IP because I know how fast I can lose the weight! I will be going on vacation mid-June and hoping to lose about 30lbs by then.. We'll see how it goes :)
I will not be staying on plan during vacay since we're going to Hawaii for our honeymoon (after 9 years of marriage lol). But I will be right back to phase one as soon as I get back. I am debating whether I will do a mini phase off before my trip.. I just don't want to sacrifice any time I could be losing weight.

So happy to be on this weight loss journey with you all! It really works if you stay OP!
Glad I'm not the only one to go on a honeymoon a few years after marriage! lol

Phasing off would be smart! But make sure you phase off and don't just jump into binge eating right from phase 1. Also - make sure you have enough foods so that you can jump back on the plan AS SOON AS you land! I think this probably makes the biggest different - how fast you're able to jump back into it.

I love the vegetable chili, bbq soy nuts, cappuccino drink, and caramel vanilla bars :)

I'm pretty excited about dinner tonight. Going to use this diet as an excuse to eat lots of scallops and other seafood. :)
I would definitely have more with the vitamin.. I have to some "real" food with it, not just a drink or I too get a little nauseous.

That is great advice, I think I will do a short phase-off before the trip.. Not the three weeks my coach wants me to do though. My coach before only had me do three days.. I'm thinking 3-7 days phase off and then yes, back on plan the moment I land! :carrot:

Hello, I started IP at the beginning of the month, down 7 pounds the first week and I feel great! The first day I was so sick, second day I felt really out of it, then the third day I began to feel really, really good. I'm happy to join in the journey with all of you!

Congratulations to you both! Both of you did awesome the first week! :carrot:

I'm kind of excited about my first weigh in. I started last Saturday and my weigh-in day is Saturday.

How much water were you guys drinking?

yay an april thread! I started my reboot april 10 so first weigh in tomorrow. finding it super hard to get all the food in though. this diet sure knocks down my appetite tremendously. but I drink almost 4 litres of water a day so makes sense. goal is to get to 260 by the end of June. Very doable on IP. good luck to everyone!!!

Congrats to the fabulous weigh ins! And so nice to see everyone getting through the dreaded first three days! I stepped on the scale this morning, and that was a mistake. Hoping it has something to do with TOM, although in the past TOM has never had much of an effect on the scale for me... Oh well, I need to stay focused and motivated to get through this coming weekend! Crossing my fingers for that big whoosh everyone speaks of!

Wow! That is really great. I am on day 4. Had a LOT of fatigue and headache all day yesterday. Still not in ketosis...if the ketostick is accurate.
I cut out the milk in my morning coffee, so maybe that will help.

This board is AWESOME! I have found several recipes that I think will help keep me in compliance.

Still confused about everything. Unfortunately, my first meeting with my coach and for weigh in is tomorrow, so it will probably not be nearly as impressive as your results. After that, I will be on the right schedule for weighing in.

Thanks for the support everyone!

I'm on my first day today so very happy to find this group. Not a big fan of packaged food but I will try this. I would love to finally feel good about myself in a bathing suit.

Kendall so happy for you!!!!! Keep going it is well worth it, even when it gets hard during some times, it will cycle through and get easier if you just keep going. You can do this thing.
