    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!

    Hola!!! I start IP tomorrow. Had my consultation last night. Will be shopping for my veggies and meat tonight. I'm a sugar-holic. Hoping that the shakes and bars will help me through. I love veggies and lean meat too. I hate that I cannot workout for a few weeks. But my IP coach said I can get back to yoga after 2-3 weeks, even do some light walking but no running. Any and all tips and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Would love to make friends too! =)

    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 Lisa and I started the IP diet 02/05/13. I had my yearly physical in the past couple of months and the doctor basically told me I was pre-diabetic at this time. My blood preasure and cholesteral levels have also been a problem in the last 5 yrs. So, I had to make a change.... After a little research, I started the IP diet and in a little over 2 wks I have lost 13 lbs and I haven't really felt strong hunger pains. I have found that you must really follow the protein schedule pretty closely or your IP counselor will get on to you!. If you follow the plan it truly works! You just have to be committed to this diet and making yourself a better "YOU". I'm here if you need support. We all need support. :smile:

    Hi guys! I started IP on Monday and so far it's going well although I find myself a bit hungry. My calories are only reaching 700 per day - is this the same with all of you?

    Hi there! My name is Lonna and I'm on day 5. Headache is finally gone, but I am still Hungry All The Time. I thought that was supposed to go away? Does this mean I'm not in ketosis? I don't think that could be possible, but could it be?

    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!

    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!

    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!
    I've sent you a friend request :)

    Hi, my name is Cindi. This is my second go-round with IP. I love the program, but even though I'm 25 lbs down and have another 25 lbs to go, I can see that I will need more support when I go into maintenance phase later this year.
