Back on Phase 1 for a while....
I went on phase 4 in November, at around 125 pounds. And then with Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, etc I kind of fell off the wagon. I got on the scale this morning and was back up to 139! So...I'm going back on phase 1 for a while to get back down where I need to be. I'll keep y'all updated :)

First Day!!
Hello, everyone! I started the Countdown to Competition plan today, with the hopes of losing some weight before Memorial Day weekend (I've been plateaued for almost 3 months now!). It wasn't nearly as difficult to follow the stricter plan - if anything, the hardest part has been actually eating all the food! There's just…

Phase 1 tips & tricks?
Hey y'all. I just started on IP yesterday and so far I love it. I could already feel a difference when woke up this morning. Just wondering what some of you all do with your veggies to keep it interesting! Thanks!

PHASE 2!!
Hey y'all, I started IP in the beginning of May. I was 189 pounds and had about 44% body fat. As of this morning, I am now at 125 and 20% body fat!!! So...my coach put me on phase 2!! Woo!!! But now I'm kind of freaking out. All through phase 1 I had to split up my protein throughout the day because 8oz all at once was way…

Weight Loss is Slowing Down...help!
I had been averaging about 3-4 (sometimes 5!) pounds per week and have lost about 40 total. But I only lost 1 pound last week and 1 pound again this week. Inches are still going down (another 1 inch off my waist and 1/2 an inch off my hips this week), which is good...but its still a little frustrating to not see the scale…

What are your favorite IP foods?
I generally eat the same things every day: chocolate or cappuccino drink for breakfast, salt&vinegar or BBQ crisps with lunch, and pudding as a snack. But I'm looking to mix it up a little this next month while I'm on vacation. There are just so many foods that I don't know what to try! So...what are your favorites?

IP on Vacation?
Hey y'all! So my family is going down to Florida for the whole month of July. Part of me is super excited because, hey, by that point I'll be about 25 pounds lighter and a lot more confident at the beach. But it just hit me that that's FOUR WEEKS away from my coach and I'm kind of freaking out about totally falling off…

Exercise on IP?
My coach told me that since I'm young, my body could handle some workouts while on the program (30-45 minutes, 4-5 times a week). Just wondering what some of you do for exercise because I'm getting a little bored with just going for walks. I started one of those 30-day abs challenges yesterday, but I'm looking for some…

Favorite fitness trackers?
I lost my FitBit somewhere in the move between Nashville and Connecticut :( But I guess that gives me an excuse to buy a new one, right? So what's your favorite fitness tracker and why do you like it? I'm open to any brand, not necessarily just FitBit. Thanks!

Any other vegetarians doing IP?
So I'm on week 2 of IP, but I'm following the vegetarian protocol (lots of tofu and low-carb Boca burgers!). Anyone else doing the vegetarian version?

What's the deal with the Restricted foods?
So I know I can only have 1 restricted food per day, but do I have to have one? My favorite IP foods are all unrestricted...is that okay? Will my results be different if I don't have the restricted foods?
