    Welcome to the program! I wish you great success! I love IP program. I am only 5 pounds from goal which is just crazy to me. I hope this program works well for you. Getting though the first few days is the toughest, after that, its easy!

    Thank you so much. Yes, the first couple of days were definitely tough but I pushed through it. I am now on my 8th day of the program and I am feeling great. This program is not as hard as I thought it was going to be in fact I am finding that I am really enjoying it for the most part. I had my first weigh yesterday and lost 5.5 lbs in just the first week I was in shock I have never lost that much weight in one week ever in my life.

    Congrats to all of you!!

    The first week is the hardest. Stick it out and you will have the best results. :smile:

    I lost about 40 lbs. I am back on IP because I felt like I needed detox.

    Feel free to add me as a friend.

    Hi There,

    I've been on Ideal protein for about 2 and a half months now and so far I've lost 40lbs. It is a great program. I love that its convenient and phase one is only temporary for the initial weight loss which makes it easier to cope with. Feel free to add me!

    I am at 40 lbs lost since November. I love this change in my life. I started running as well and ran my first 5K this weekend. The only thing is I fear gaining it back. I am still in Phase 1 has anyone went past Phase 1?

    Did you do Phase 2... I am getting to the end of Phase 1 and I am so scared that I will gain weight.

    I was on IP for 7 months and lost 75lbs! I phased off and am now on WW to "maintain" for the summer.

    Good luck to all of you!

    Question: can someone explain this program to me? A family member is doing this, but the calorie intake she told the family has me a bit concerned. Just want to get more information on the program from people who are actually doing it. Thanks!

    I just started IP yesterday and look forward to the community support. So far I feel good. I am not much of a water drinker, so I am really focusing on getting as much in as I can. I also love the idea of drinking tea which will help with hydration.

    I wish all of you every success in this program.
