Hi
I am so excited to have found this site. I am on my 5th week with IP...did great the first few weeks lost 19 lbsbbut gained 4lbs last week....learned i cannot cheat. So i have been trying to be more dedicated again. I truely feel better on this diet, and hope to get some great ideas to stay motivated. Thanks for making this group :-)

Hi and welcome. Congrats on your loss so far!

Great loss so far - and you found out cheating is a no-no I had to learn that, too, but got right back on the program with new resolve and continued losses. The food gets boring at times and makes those temptations pop up, but there are some very imaginative IP cooks on here - there are great recipes to be had! Good luck on your weight-loss journey - you know you can do it!

Welcome!

Stick with the 100% thread. Lots of motivation there, and no one will talk about cheating.

Am on my 5th week too, and have resisted cheating. Hang in there!
