Phase 1 Pain / Injury
Ugh. Was doing great on Week 1 and 2. Moved onto 3 and 4, then BAM. Neck, shoulder, arm, lower back have been rotating pain around to each other. I stopped the workout immediately. This morning is the first morning without any pain, but I can feel it hovering out there. Tomorrow I think I will go back to Week 1 and 2 for…

The Week with Most Weight Loss
Hello All, I'm curious. Besides your first week or two where you (most likely) lost the most weight on IP, what was your best week for weight loss, how much did you lose and what do you think the reasons were? My biggest loss after the first 2 weeks was 4 pounds. About 5 weeks into IP, I went from 164 to 160 pounds. That…

Phasing Out Soon and Looking for Work Out Buddies
Hi All, I was on IP last summer and lost 25 pounds. I did not exercise while on protocol, just walked a lot. Right as I entered Phase 3 I started upping my walking pace and distance. On the day I started Phase 4, I also started Jillian MIchael's 30 Day Shred for the first time. While I had lost weight and was fitting in my…

Back on IP
Hello All! I lost 20 pounds last summer on IP, then went on to tone my body with daily Jillian Michaels work outs. I used MFP to log my calories and stay in harmony. It was awesome. But the last few months my drive for being in shape and healthy simply faded between stress and being sick. Plus, I really lost it with sugar…

MFP Burnout
Hello, I have been using MFP for over 200 days. It has helped me lose weight and keep it off. It has been part of the reason I excercise more. I have made friends with some really supportive people, and have been inspired by strangers and their success. That said, I find myself slacking off and my interest waning in using…

NSV: Unexpected Consequences, Perhaps TMI
Hi All, My underwear does not fit anymore. It's all baggy and saggy. I was laughing to myself this morning about this 'problem'. I've got my big girl panties on! Best, Sharon

Started Phase 3 and New Underwear ;)
Hi All, I started Phase 3 today. I just entered my food this morning and its just shy of 500 calories. ACK! I'm a little freaked out. But my tummy is full, and boy was that bacon good! NSV Update: I also, on purpose, started wearing my new underwear today. (A couple of weeks ago, I had lost enough weight that my undies…

Started Phase 2
Hi All, I hit my goal weight and NSV (size 8 skinny white jeans). I started phase 2 earlier this week. A slight challenge, as I am traveling on business. I went to a local Trader Joes and bought food upon arrival. I've had 3 days of 8am to 6pm back to back meetings, slightly stressful! Lots of afternoon sugar eating…

Results: Week One on IP
Hi All, I lost 9 pounds on my first week! And 4.5 inches! That is 3 pounds more than when I did this diet the first time a couple of years ago. I am really happy, needless to say. I have 15 more pounds to lose, I am not expecting it to go so fast. I would be happy with 3 pounds a week. What's your average weekly loss?…

Nike Fuel Band
Howdy, Any of you IPers use a Nike Band? Fit Band? I'm wondering if you deduct the calories burned (according to these tools) from your days total via the exercise function on MFP? Best, Sharon

Shedding
Hi There, Weird subject! I typically lose a lot of hair while washing it and blowing dry. I've noticed since I've been on IP my hair isn't shedding so badly. Any body have other changes they are seeing while on IP besides weight loss? Best, Sharon

Menstrual Cycle Slowing Weight Loss?
Hi Ladies, I seem to have stalled losing weight for almost an entire week. My period stared a week early as well. I am not cheating and eating chocolate and drinking wine, as much as I would like to... :) Is this the norm? Has anybody else found the same thing? I'm really hoping I get right back into rapid weight loss when…

21 Meditation Challenge w/Oprah + Deepak
Hi All, Food has always been a great comfort to me in dealing with stressful relationships. (For example, I gain about 5 pounds after every visit with my Mom.) I have been dealing with another relationship issue since January that contributed to 20 pounds piling on that I am now working off. I saw an ad for the Mediation…
