Wow - so many familiar IPeep screen names from the past - so glad to see you all on 3FC - I know that connecting here was a critical success factor for my losses on IP before, and I was so sad to see the boards have become so silent in the past year
We can support one another to meet our goals - we all know that it works for us. Sorry there has been re-gain, but I am so glad to have you all with me on this journey! I go to weigh in and start tomorrow on my reboot.
Day 3 of my reboot. Actually do I really want to call it a reboot? I gained back my 30 pounds I lost in 2010 so I am starting over. It amazes me that after only 2 days of IP I feel so much better. I am getting all the processed food out of my system. I want and will lose 30 pounds again. I need to figure out why I gained it back so I do not make the same mistakes.
Hi Rebooters! I am back for a mini "Post Holiday / New Years" reboot. I have slowly gained 10# since the beginning of Oct. and I am finally getting my rear in gear. Something about the freshness of the new year, new beginnings, all of that that makes it a little bit easier to get into action. Today is my 1st day on P1. So far, so good
Yesterday and Sunday I had slowly begun to reduce carbs in hopes to alleviate some of the headaches that come with the first few days of IP. Now today is my first true day on the reboot. I was 144.4 on Sat. before I started, looking to get back to 135-136 which is where I was maintaining until it all broke loose.
Hope to see you all around the boards. I find the boards much more inspiring and supportive than the FB page. Maybe I am just old school
You have continued to do so well...that is awesome...not sure why I lost focus the last year

Quote for today. Nothing taste as good as skinny feels.
I call mine a reboot too, but I gained 46 of the 75 I lost so it is not quite starting over, but more than a reboot! I am so determined and I want to lose an extra 10-15 and try to get to a size 4/6 (I got to a 6/8 last time)

I'm back at it because the *someone* I met and I will be getting married, probably this year, and I want to look hot
Day 1 done, on to Day 2! Hope to see you all around more often!

I remember you from before. My husband is my biggest crutch in keeping the weight on. We are absolute best friends and have an amazing life together and love to travel often (at least a weekend away every 2-3 weeks) and longer trips 4-5 times a year....this does not help my health and weight in any way. I am begging him (after 30 wonderful years together) to not tempt me....he never gains more than 10 pounds.

We can do this!
I don't think we ever chatted before but glad to have you on the team to do this. I am totally ready to chat up daily, I need to stay focused.

Good morning! How did everyone's day go yesterday? For the first time in a long time, I had a TRUE P1 day. Today is day 2. Almost 1/2 way through the hardest part of this diet (first 3 days).
I am not sure if my plan to slowly reduce carbs is working. I am kind of getting that head-achy feeling today and that feeling of just wanting to lie down. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

Hi Jenny! The first time I tried IP, I went low carb the week before to help.
This time, what with New Years, I spent the week before getting in enough alcohol to last the next 3 to 4 months without, ha! I haven't noticed a difference, but I'm only on Day 3. Also, was fighting bronchitis as I began.
It hasn't felt like much of a change, probably because I was doing another type of low carb about a month or so prior, it was just super high in protein...about 1600 cals a day. I can already see IP is truly "ideal" for me...higher cal plans just don't work fast enough for me.
Damn it. I am 45 today. I did great on IP in 2012. I maintained my 155 loss for a while but I got comfortable and slacked off. I felt so good. I did my own thing and most of it has come back. I have re started a dozen times. I don't stick with it. I'm here to try again. My knees are killing me these days. I know 3FC was key in my success in 2012. I met lots of good people here. The support and information was HUGE. So I'm back. XOXO
I just changed my Chrome settings so when I open up Chrome 3FC is one of the tabs that opens up!
Hi all! Since I only made goal last August, I really wasn't hoping I would need the January reboot, but alas, here I am! Today is day 2 of "true" P1...also getting the waxing waning headache and although my morning I felt high energy, I'm feeling a little sluggish now. A tad of nausea this am as well. But, as of Tuesday WI I was 8 above goal and as of this morning and 6 above goal. But truly, I NEED to get to that five below goal to truly feeling comfortable phasing back into maintenance, so I've got a ways to go. I'm guessing a good solid three if not four weeks of strict P1. Hang in there all, we got this!

Good morning! Day 1 went okay yesterday, despite being really sick. It was a struggle to eat what I was supposed to but I know the plan works if I stick to it so I stuck with it
Yes, the first few days are tough but you can do it!

I' m rebooting :-) I met with a coach this morning. Purchased some package and vitamins. Tomorrow is day one for me. I love seeing some familiar names. I can't wait to watch all of our journeys!!

I have tried other low carb and it is too slow to keep me sticking to the plan. I function so much better with complete strictness.

Today I still have no hunger, staying 100% on plan, but I am a science teacher and today was lab day and very busy I taught 7 period in a row of intensive lessons....I kept feeling dizzy

I too am feeling sluggish, but am 1/2 way through Day 2 of what is looking like it is going to be another true P1 day. Yippee! I am definitely struggling a bit more today than I was yesterday, likely due to rapidly decreasing glycogen stores. I know it is still a few days off, but I am already anticipating the weekend. They are always the hardest to get through.
Lynn Margaret- I too, am thinking about 3-4 solid weeks on P1 should do the trick. I also feel better getting below goal, but I never seem to want to keep pushing once I get there!
Hi all, lost weight in 2013 and have since had a new baby.... he's 6 months old. I'm baaaaack
I am doing a 14 day reset and I will be exercising this time. Im on day 1 and currently weigh 141.1.

The first few days suck but it's worth it to know it is working. I'm feeling a bit of a headache today too.

Hello darbs...I am also a science teacher but here in Canada we go back to work on Monday...I am not looking forward to getting back into that routine...feel so tired during the first few days!lol
Today is day 2. Almost 1/2 way through the hardest part of this diet (first 3 days).
