I am so happy being in touch again with all of the names I remember

It is so nice to see names I remember. I really believe part of my falling off the wagon can be attributed to not coming here to 3FC every day and catching up with my IP friends. There is an informal accountability and friendly butt kicking that really helped to keep me motivated. Anyone who remembers Wuv remembers her fussing when someone would report losing "only" a certain amount of weight and she would remind us any loss was a good loss. It's good to be back.

Absolutely…when I went to 3FC daily, it was a reminder to be good. I do enjoy all the threads, but it would be impossible to relate to being in maintenance for years if you are on it for the first time. I was so darn focused when I originally did phase 1 in 2010! I too was very focused for the first year to year and a half during maintenance. The more time I spend in maintenance the more I "allow myself to not be good!"

I told myself when I started this reboot (in September) that I would be at my low point (not goal weight, but 7 below) by my anniversary…May 28th. I lost 17 between September and October…took November and December offish…and now going to tackle the other 15 to goal.

So happy to have a group to check in with. Good luck everyone.

Good luck, Darbs, you can do it!

I keep telling myself that

I'm still here!!!I restarted in Dec. got lazy during the holiday and started again on New Years day. Lost 6 lbs this 1st week. I turn 40 in March and want to lose 20 lbs I'll never stop coming back to Ideal Protein!! Good to see you

Welcome back…we are in good shape considering so many people that were around in 2010 and 2011 and there is no sign of them. I am on day 4 and feeling a little "off". Oh well…early to bed!

Yeah it's hard to come back and admit that you've gained weight but I feel like that accountability is key!!! I'm happy I haven't gained it all back but sad that I let food get the best of me again. I'm on day 8. I feel great except its time for my period and I want to EAT!!!! I want to be in the 170's by next Wed. That's my mini goal

So many familiar faces!!vSo good to see everyone. I need to relose 15 pounds.
Darbs what good news about your daughter. Enjoy the grandbaby!
Bella, I'll see if I can figure out which one you are on Lisa's FB page and send you a friend request.

What size were you at 160? Our body types look familiar. My favorite weight is 165 (was only there for about 2 weeks), I call my maintenance weight 170, my original goal was 175. When I am between 165-170, I fit into size 8 everywhere and 6's in many store. I too am dying to see the 170's again, but I am still mid 180's so another few weeks.

I carry my weight in chest and arms and bloat in upper belly. Waist, hips, legs small for my weight and upper body.



Thank you, great to have everyone back

I'm back here too. Lost 50 pounds, regained 20. Only pie I'm eating now is humble pie!
Day 4 of my reboot.

Yes, lets keep this thread going ladies. I love seeing all you & yes MustangMolly, WUV never let anyone use the word "ONLY" lol I am into keto and the appetite is gone, this is the part that really truly helps and then coming here and getting support. Perfect Combo!

Has anyone heard from Wuv if so is she still running an IP clinic. I miss her motivation and knowledge.

yes keep this going struggling today not enough food to exercise during my lunch and have been feeling light-headed.

No WUV is not working at the clinic anymore. While she was off having her surgery some changes were made at the clinic that she couldn't agree with so she and the owner decided to part ways but still friends. I guessed that at the clinic they decided to use other products but WUV never said what the changes actually were.
