Hello all! My name is Tony and I am from the North East. I have yo yo'd back and forth for a few years and have finally decided to take the plunge. I lost a lot of weight on the South BeachDet, but it seems and is a "forever" diet. So,back on October 27th, I weighed in at 243 and started to "watch what I eat" and exercise. However, that took off 6 lbs in 3 weeks. Not too bad, but not how I wanted to lose the weight. I started IP on Sunday 11/17. Had my first weigh in on 11/26 and was down 11 LBS! THAT is my inspiration! I watch the scale drop daily, as I follow the program TO THE LETTER! That is hard for someone who went out to eat 4 or 5 times a week and enjoyed a martini each evening. Yes, my wife is also on the program too and she has lost 6LBS the first week. This is an expensive diet for sure! However, if the goal is met and we can go back to normal food, but be educated on HOW to eat normal food, it will al be worth it!
My goal weight is 170 to 180. I am inspired by all here and will continue to update!
to both of you! Be sure to check out the IP board here at 3FC under "Pre-packaged Meals" in the Diet Central section! Tony, it looks like you are off to a good start! Good luck!
