Last time I did IP was June 2-August 2 of 2012 and I lost 45lbs. Since losing the weight I kept it off one entire year, and now have slowly gained back about 15lbs of my IP weight loss.
I decided to go back to my coach starting today and my goal is to stick to the diet for three months/50lbs because I want to be at a healthy weight to get pregnant. =)
When I did the diet the first time I didn't have a SINGLE mess up in the two months... not even a diet soda or a splenda! When I decided to stop IP and do a low-carb diet on my own, I lost another 10 lbs. I couldn't maintain the diet without the coaching and I stopped losing weight for about 6 months. Now that I've gained a good chunk of the weight back, I'm feeling very unhealthy and discouraged- but that's why I'm going back today.
I need some positive vibes sent my way that I can do it again this time around!
I went off protocol since last Wednesday and now I am having a little trouble getting back on. HELP!! Any advice or tips to get back on the straight and narrow. I think I need a little support.

I did the same thing... ugh.. well I woke up today after 3 attempts.. dumped all the left over candy, cakes,pies and anything else that was calling my name for months.
Drink a tall glass of hot lemon water and get back on IP. I am doing alternatives have been for 6 months ($) . Today is the day I take back my life and finish out the course. I will fight those parts in me that want to destroy my eating. NO one can do this to you but your own self. Stand tall and carry on!
I just re-started today as well! I lost 80lbs and then had to quickly phase off due to surgery in May 2013. We are trying to get pregnant and i wanted to go back on so i could successfully phase off. It is nice to know someone else is restarting with me. Good luck!

wish me luck!!
I going through a very similar situation as you, ugh, really trying to get back on track, Ive gained back 20lbs since Oct! Lets do this!
Here I am AGAIN!!!! Haven't been on here since 11/5 and it broke my heart to have to take off two smileys because I've gained almost 10 lbs back... Tomorrow is the day!!!!!! Back on the straight and narrow!!!!
I'm so glad everyone is getting back into the swing of things! I'm 8 days into my restart and I went to my weigh-in last week. I was down 6.5lbs and 6 inches!
Down another 2 lb today!
I'm finding that this second time around is much easier because I already know some good recipes and foods I can rely on. I've been doing a lot of experimenting with the IP packets and making delicious foods! My husband is even eating them.... he's down almost 10lbs in a week (and he's not even doing IP!)
I got off program over Tgiving for a whole week! It was hard getting back on it. Thankfully I'm enrolled in a clinic. I failed trying it on my own. It took me a long time to admit it. Also, I have sensitivity to milk protein that causes skin probs and arthritis. But, I want to lose the weight so, I'm bearing it. Welcome back to IP glad to see it's working for you.
Starting again TODAY!
Hooray for everyone getting back on track! You can do it and we'll be here to cheer you on!
