Is anyone following the Protein Power plan?
 

I just started 3 weeks ago and I've lost 10 pounds. I don't give a fig if it's water or fat or whut. It's off and with the help of God, maybe I can shed some more. The plan calls for me to limit my carbs to 30 a day and I'm doing that relativley easy these days. It just feels so good to not be a carb junky right now. Of course, it doesn't hurt that once in a while I can have an incredibly decadent treat like I had last night... 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream mixed in the blender, 1/2 packet of splenda and 1/4 cup of fresh strawberries. Man, this is living!!!


Are any of you following a plan or are you just nonspecific low carb?

Hi Girlfriend! Ten pounds - I am very impressed!

I think there are a couple of chicks in here following PP - Nasus comes to mind and there are a couple of others. They will be here for ya.

Big variety of low carb plans in here - I'm sort of borderline WW but am keeping my carbs low - about 100 per day. 300 per day is "normal" for carbs.

I am so pumped about losing that 10 pounds!! I still have 80 to go but only 3 weeks ago, it was 90 to go!!! I love this plan!!! I'd like to lose it all over the next couple of years or so. It's so good to find some hope after all the extra I gained when I quit smoking. I'm just so happy that anythign is working. :)

Hey nora..
When I was a good girl, I was on Protein Powe, so was my DH, and yes, I too lost over 15 lb in the first two weeks!! It was great and really kept me going!!
I fell of the wagon about 6 months ago when I moved to a new country and was basically miserable. I am now MORE then READY to start back at it..BIG TIME!!
How about a buddy in this adventure??? I remember I got pretty bored with my meals, and I'd love to have someone to swap with!!
Interested?
Oh, by the way...
WAY TO GO ON THE 10!!! Wooohoo!!:dizzy: :lol:

I would LOVE to be your buddy as we leave our lovely fat bodies behind and get used to being in our lovely thin bodies. I can't wait to wear some really cute clothes and so some serious running around with my granddaughter. :lol: Have you given yourself a new start date? C'mon, McMom, let's get skinny!! :dizzy:

nora i have been doing PP for almost 2 years. I would be glad to help!!!

I am PPWAV!! (PP with a vengence) :dizzy:

That's great to hear, Nasus!!! *very clever handle, BTW :))))* Are you taking magnesium and potassium supplements? I bought magnesium/calcium and potassium oxide yesterday. I wasn't too crazy about the "oxide" part of that equation, remembering the chapter on antioxidants in PP but it was all I could find. Any thoughts on that? I took a double dose of magnesium before I went to bed last night, hoping it would help me sleep. I slept like a log but I don't realisitically think the magnesium from 2 tablets worked on me already... but I'll take it. LOL!! Do you have any trouble sleeping?
