Don't get discouraged! Get out the tape measure! I have found that even if the pounds on the scale aren't moving, my body fat percentage still drops at a steady rate and/or I still am losing inches. :)

I am not sure why, but I completely forgot about the part of the maintenance protocol wherein you drop down to Phase 1 when you blow it on a big meal with "all the fixin's". I also didn't do a yearly reboot, just kept right on eating whatever I wanted . . . <sigh>

Let's don't beat ourselves up, though -- we know how to do this, right?! We did it before and we can, by gosh, do it again! :hug:

So very true!

I was happy that a skirt fit that did not fit last month! so that was an exciting moment. I think I have been in a slow loosing month. But like you said, the inches are moving too! woo hooooo

weekend time.... hang tight peeps!

My first holiday after getting back on track. I can do this! Mainly because I don't really have anything special planned BUT if something comes up I know I will be strong! Cucumbers, all unlimiteds, broccoli and cauliflower are once again my best friends!

Me too. We can DOO EEET!! :cheer2:

I am back at this again too. Lost 50lbs the first time and am right back where I started. Can't believe I let this happen!
This is day 1 - although I have had dozens of "day 1's" over the last number of months. I am finding it so hard to start again the second time. I do know this works though, and I will do it.
It is nice to see some familiar faces - I didn't post much the last time, but followed so many for the encouragement.

Many 1st days ! me too!

I am starting the IP diet again also. Lost 70 pounds in 2 months 4 years ago...and gained it all back. Will be starting again this week. I am from Sudbury...where are you from? Want to stay diet Buddies?

Hi there...I have not been here for some time so it was quite funny having a look and seeing a message. I am from North Bay...I would love to be diet Buddies. I have never followed an IP clinic...I have done it on my own. I know it works...I just have not had the motivation to stick to it...hopefully this will be THE TIME!

Here's to the weekend. I need to drink more water and watch my protein intake... need good vibes!!

ok, i'm 3 months into IP again. i've been dealing with 2 herniated discs for the last 8 weeks, which has included a round of prednisone and a daily cocktail of celebrex, gabapentin and felxeril a few times a day. i was getting pretty frustrated for a few weeks because the losses seemed to be slowing a bit... but honestly, i've lost 50lbs in 3 months. that's insane!! there is no way that i can be disappointed. the pain is still pretty bothersome, but IP is doing its job just fine. i always forget how well the program works.

stick with it, ladies. we are doing the best thing that can be done for our bodies right now.
