^This. If you go from being the same inches of fat to the same inches of muscle you will weigh significantly more. check out this picture, it helps make it more visual http://www.onemorebite-weightloss.com/muscle-to-fat.html

I do Shoes...you're not going to get too skinny for shoes! Accessories in general are GREAT mini rewards!

I'm going to go to the mall and buy WHATEVER I want...I plan to have a large chunk of change to spend on fabulous new clothes :). I also get to finish my (tattoo) sleeve when my arms are done shrinking. AND I'm going to Europe. I think that's a pretty damn good reward for getting down to a weight that is less than I've…

yeah, I'm only 6 weeks in and 26lbs down....but still....I'm always so nervous even though I know regardless it's going to be a good weigh in. I'm finally up to going to the gym...the energy you get from this program is crazy!

I do low carb and low calorie, but I"m on special protein. Limit your carrots and beans, potatoes, corn and all starchy veggies. I love kale! A couple salads a day is super helpful! I also had to give up meat for a while which actually is helping my calories stay even lower, I eat a Morning star brand vegan griller and the…

My name is Mikel, but I'm a girl and have always been called Miki....I also used to play Tuba...so MikiTuba...it's also my old radio personality name :)

Thank you everyone for all your support :).

I also want it to be known that I couldn't button up that shirt and could barely fasten the pants....As I was running today in those pants to get in to the building for my weigh in they fell down....past my bum lol

Thanks Greg!

are you trying to post my picture for me....I'm too special to do it I guess :/

Mel Brooks...I even have his portrait tattooed on my arm...true story. I absolutely LOVE HIM

I have the same problem with my weight watchers scale, except I can stand on it...get off, get back on and the stupid thing will change by 5lbs! I do not recommend it

Beer is NOT diet friendly! We can however go out to eat!

I hope to meet you soon!

I too have VERY pale and odd toned skin, MAC is the only make up I will use on my skin! I never break out and I used to CONSTANTLY and my skin always looks great! They have such a huge selection of tones and very knowledgeable artists. I also only have to buy it about twice a year and I wear it every day! It lasts SO long!

One morning I woke up and put on this really cute black t-shirt and some jeans...it was casual Friday. Everyone was staring at me really oddly all day and I couldn't figure out why....Until I went to the bathroom. Turns out I had a very very very sheer black top on. Needless to say I had to find something to cover up with.…

Try only using lotion on it when you're just out of the shower. Do you take any vitamins? Being healthy should help speed up the process. I also use A and D diaper rash ointment on all of mine just when I get out of the shower. Some people hate that idea, but it has worked beautifully for me..I'm about 55% covered and even…

Where is the tattoo located? and how big is it?

Me either! :) I'm going to blame it on being new and only being down 20lbs so far. Maybe we can both make it after our next 20! hehe

I've cut fruit out completely for my transition through my weight loss and so far it's working great! Veggies are the way to go! More green and lean!

I'm pretty new myself :) always looking for new friends and encouragement friends :)

Ideal protein has so far been a very easy diet to follow, the weekly weigh ins are a huge help when it comes to keeping you accountable. I think that is the biggest savior for me. I have only been on the diet for 4 weeks and I have lost 19.4lbs and 15.25 inches! My mini goal is to beat the weight I lost in the last 4 weeks…

I will fit in the little white dress of my dreams next summer for my big day

I love that idea! Good for you! The weight loss is so incredible! I just got back from my second week weigh in and lost another 3.4lbs and 4.25 inches that's a total weight loss of 13.2lbs and 11.25inches....in 2 weeks!!!

I go in for my second week weigh in today! Wish me luck!!! :) Also Celeriac is fantastic! Julienned and boiled for about 15-20 minutes with a dash of OO and pepper.. YUM YUM YUM!

I've been doing Ideal protein for a week, my first week weigh in I lost 9.8lbs and 7 inches. Tomorrow I have my second weigh in...I'm really nervous even though I've been following the program verbatim. Does anyone else get those moments where you get really nervous about your weekly weigh in and think you've gained? Last…
