hey vjm here i'm 48 and been on since 7/11/09 lost 37lbs so far, I live in WY too where in WY do you live i'm in Evanston

Congratulations! That's great!!!

I'm in Lyman. Not too far away!!!

Congrats! Keep up the good work!

I had a rough day yesterday. I didn't eat much and definetly didn't eat the salads or the packets (well 1 bar at night). I didn't cheat, just back to no desire to eat which only makes me gain.

I weighed in yesterday for my two week mark. I have offically lost 16#!

wow small world! do you see Tad G over there for your packets . your doing a great job keep it up!!

I also just started the ideal protein plan. In fact only on day 2..... I am feeling motivated!! I have 2 big trips planned for this winter and would like to feel good about myself while on them. Has anyone been on the IP plan and went off for a week ( say for a cruise, trip) etc? just wondering what the effects of weight gain are etc....

Welcome Sandra B......I am so glad I found this board. In fact, I wrote it down for my dr. to give anyone that is getting the IP from her...if they wanted support. I, too, have a big trip planned in March....but I am hoping for good results by my birthday in February....not just weight loss, but feeling better all over.

I weighed in at the 2-week mark today. I DID lose 3#...surprisingly enough. Like you, GoddessTT, I am having a hard time feeling motivated to eat. Talked to doc about my "issue" and they put me on a detox pill to try every night to see if "things" move. As far as the fatigue, they felt it would get better this week, but if not, to bump up another protein. They also wanted me to drink something "warm" -- so they gave me some green tea bags. I never drink tea....but I will do anything to make things MOVE!!

Hellena Handbasket (what a great name!!)....aren't you the one that is doing it with the dr. you work for, and others in your office? You did amazing! Is everyone else having good luck too???

Did you guys know that puddings are "unlimited"? That is what they told me today.....I should have bought some puddings!!! I did try a vanilla and added some sugarfree Tofrani almond syrup...tasted pretty good.

Gotta go watch the Tigers/Indians game. Have no idea who to root for....I have been a diehard Indians fan for over 20 years, but I have lived in Michigan for over 4...so I keep thinking I should change allegiances...especially with the Tigers in first place.

I never liked eating lol. In fact I need to go eat lunch, but I wanted to say that you must do what they say to help get the results you want. So if drinking tea is the thing...drink the tea!

I love the puddings, they are not restricted. The only items restricted are like the bars, the puffs and such. Those are limited to 1 per day, there is also chilli and bolganaise that is a 1 per week item.

I know how you feel. I'm in that same rut right now. My problem is that I'll have a phase where I crave everything and then I will not want to eat anything (like right now). I just wish I could get on an even keel.

Congratulations!!!

I do see Tad. Is that who you are going to?
