I am 36 and have lost 42 lbs in 8 weeks (hubby lost 41 in 8 weeks)

IF I keep losing the same (minus my first weeks big loss) I have another 4 months until I lose my 107 I want to lose.

I would be happy if I can lose 107 in 6 months... but it's always in the back of my mind it could take longer, originally I figured 10+ months as my lady told me most lose about 8-10 lbs a month

"During many times in my life, my diet was super low-calorie during the week and I'd undo all the progress on the weekends."

I can relate to this so much!

This time I started IP Alternative on 1-3-13. I figure I will weigh in again after one week. So far, I have not been hungry but I have been sick with a sinus infection. I haven' t cheated with any sugar but I have ventured from the phase 1 eating plan.

Thanks for everyone's posts. I read the forum daily! I also appreciate the willingness of people who have done the true IP sharing the diet protocol.
