I have lost 30 lbs following the IP protocols but using alternative products. I have to say I lost my drive these last couple weeks and thought about phasing off for the summer. I went to a adult's birthday party and ate some bad bad stuff...LOL but it looked and tasted so good. And the drinks were yummy. BUT....after a few hours I felt aweful. Bloasted and just gross. And I looked around the room at how big some of my friends were getting from this lifestyle and I thought NO....not me! I started back on the IP plan yesterday and am not looking any direction but forward. I have 15 lbs I would like to lose by mid July...not sure if they will all come off, but I am trying 100%...no deviations from the protocol! I even ordered some Walden farms products....so I can make Big Mac in a bowl! And some Miracle Noodles although some reviews are sketchy...So you all are stuck with me! Thanks for all the posts. recipies and support that I get here. I am so glad that we are not chastized here for using alternative products either. So here's to being a loser again!
Good for you getting back on it! ( and mixing it up with the walden farms.. having a spoon of WF marshmallow dip on my pudding at night has kept me sane..) =)
Good for you for SEEING that you don't wanna be like your friends. When you attend a party remember its celebrating SOMETHING.....That is what it should be about, it shouldn't be about the food that is there to eat (we all know it will be yummy cuz we have eaten it before) or the drinks that are there. IF you go back to "partying" like that then you will gain your weight back BUT if you go just for the company and entertainment you will enjoy yourself even more. Fix yourself a glass of water with a twist of lemon or lime OR bet a bottle of beer, pour it out (yes waste it) and pour water into it and sip it all night...no one will know the difference...only you

Wow- this is the best idea EVER! Then you don't have to go around explaining yourself at a social occasion - love it!

I've done it several times at outings and no one ever knew the difference. ONLY person who knew was the bartender who was really sweet about being accommodating
Oh guys....you are awesome! I just needed to kick myself hard in the butt and I did! Thanks for your support and ideas! I have drank soda water and Mio on occasion and it works for the special drink effect....I LOVE the beer bottle idea too....that is CLASSIC!!!! Bahaha
Back on Track With Gusto!
