Hi everyone! I started IP September 24 and have lost almost 34 lbs with 42 left until goal. I'm new to MFP but like how you track your food, supplements and exercise on this site. Great to see the numbers so when Phase 2, 3 and 4 come along, I'll understand better what I'll need to do. My New Years Resolution is to start exercising again so I started today by getting back on the treadmill for 1/2 an hour. And of course, with all this snow that got dumped on eastern Canada last night and today, I had to shovel for an hour as well with a couple more hours left to do!

Welcome, you can add me as a friend if you want. I started in Nov and am down 18lbs. It's a hard diet to follow because it's so strict but I have seen good results. Good Luck to you!!

Hi all, I started the IP program on Dec 21st, and have had better than expected results so far in spite of having another 70+ lbs to go if I want to achieve even the TOP end recommended weight for my height. My personal goal is to make it to high school weight which is "just" 50 lbs away.

I was only introduced to MFP five days ago, but WOW! I have a fitbit tracker and scale that tie in really nicely with MFP. I wish I knew about all of this cool tech gadgetry before. This is not to say that I don't also need buddies to keep me honest! Anyone else using any interesting/fun tech to lose weight and get in shape? I'm still waiting for the Bodymedia LINK armband to be delivered which will help turn me into a cyborg.

My first week on phase 1 was really tough, especially so for having started just as the holidays rolled through. I managed to stay on program and after that harsh first week I think I've settled into phase 1 pretty well.

My name is Tiffany and I am starting IP for the 2nd time! I did a 12wk stint and lost 40lbs and then took the month of Dec off from the plan and gained 10lb, and NOT from eating a normal diet but from eathing EVERYTHING in sight! I am a food addict and IP is the ONLY diet that has worked for me in the last 8years. I am commited to 16wks of the program and my goal is to lose 50lbs! This program is tough but it works and I feel GOOD when I am on plan.

Hello, I just started Ideal Protein today!!!

Hi, y'all ! I signed up for Ideal Protein today and start tomorrow. I'm scared! Have to give up Diet Cokes and soooo many other things. Not sure I can do this. I've read that the first week is the worst though, right? Would love to hear some encouragement! Got 50 pounds to lose!

Greetings from New Mexico. I started IP 2/7, I've struggled a bit so far, as I was eating 3500+cal a day and 1000-1200 is difficult. I saw my coach again today and we came up with some new ideas for adding in group choices and eating some of the restricted foods more often and adding beans. I have a goal of 40-50 pounds by the end of August. I;m ok not working out, but will start hot yoga in a month or so..I travel some for my job and am worried about business dinners, food provided at my trainings and hotel food..I will take it one day at a time, I've been thin before and nothing tastes as good as thin fells..I just got out of a relationship and am back on the market and want to represent the happiest and healthiest me...

Hello! My name is Brandy. I am 32 years old, a mom of 2, and a wife. I live in Bismarck, ND where I am an Education Coordinator and technician for a large ophthalmology practice. I am starting Ideal Protein this week and am about to do my consultation and shopping. I hope to get some good advice with some IP alums. Thanks so much, and I look forward to getting to know you all!

Yes, that's about it

HI my name is Sharon. I will start the IP diet on Wednesday by Dr.'s orders. I am borderline diabetic and have high blood pressure. I am hoping to lose 25 lbs. and can use all the support I can get.

I'm Cindy and I have been doing IP for 13 weeks and I love it! I am 9 pounds from my set goal weight. At that point I will decide if I want to lose a little more. But my grown girls don't want me to get a bobble head look (ya know small body and big head) lol

Add me if you like!

Cindy, that is great!!! Such fantastic progress.

Hope your headache is gone by now and you are enjoying IP , it's a great program.

Hi Everyone! I'm Walter. I've been on IP since February 5th (bought the stuff) and started on the 6th. It's been 4 months and 2 days, or 123 days to be exact. I have lost 53 pounds. That's an average of 0.43 pounds per day. I just started Phase 2 on Thursday. Today, I weighed in at 149.6 this morning. I have not weighed this little since I was probably 12 years old! My wife is lovin' me!!!

When you get off IP - DON'T EAT LIKE A PIG. WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO! HANG IN THERE!

I started IP the same day as you! I'm down 63.3 lbs which is awesome! But it sure can be tough!

hi everyone! I am Angelique, I started back on the IP program two weeks ago. I actually started in October and got down 55 pounds and even made it through the holidays without any cheats. March I stumbled and for some reason took the longest time to get back on track. I was at my lowest weight in my adult life and for some reason sabatoged myself. I DO THIS ALL THE TIME AND HAVE NO IDEA WHY...or what I am SCARED of! UGH! But I am back on track and survived the past two weekends staying focused on the main goal!

I did the EXACT same thing! I started Oct 25, lost 55 pounds in 5 months, then stalled. I've been stuck at 50 for the past 3 months. I decided that today is the day i'm recommitted. I want to lost another 50!
