2.6 loss this week! Total of 48.2. In just over 4 months! (with a week off at X-mas).
Everything is great. I even had 1 Canadian 67 (Sublime) beer last Thursday. It is only 67 calories, and 2 carbs - but hey it tasted good and I still lost. Woo Hoo!

Weeks 17 Ideal Protein Diet
Down 1.6 for the week. I will take it. Total loss to date - 45.6lbs. I am hoping that the pace off loss picks up a bit, as my average is going down. BUT - the weather has been very cold, so I have not been getting much exercise.
Interesting thing I learned this week -- I went for a 2 hour hike on Saturday - and ate my normal alottment of food that day and was not hungry. Sunday - I ate normal and felt good. And THEN - On Monday - I was HUNGRY all day. I ended up eating an extra restricted and 2 cookies that day!
Spoke to my expert about it at my weigh in - she said what I should have done was have an extra protein pack (not a restricted) on the day that I did get lots of exercise - then I would have fed my muscles and would not have had that "fall-out" 2 days later. I will do this next time and see if I can stay on track.
Ok - that is all I have. ttyl

Weeks 12 thru 16 Ideal Protein Diet
I have to get caught up here.
Well - I have NOT quit, in fact other than a 1 week period over Christmas - I have been sticking right to plan. And it shows! I am actually going to weigh in tonight, but in the mean time I am down down down. My total is.......around 44 lbs! My hubby is down a total of 56" -- CRAZY! for 4 months.
Hubby didn't even have ANYTHING that was not "on plan" over the holidays. He is doing amazing! He still has not weighed, but we brought up some clothes from the basement last weekend - and he fit most of them! It has been a long long time since he has felt this good, and fit into those clothes. I ALSO am really down in inches. I went through my closet last weekend and tried on EVERYTHING in there and in my dresser - guess what....it ALL fit! I don't know how long it has been since I have had such an extensive wardrobe! What a great feeling! It was like shopping in a store that ONLY has clothes I like and all in my size! I packed away my big clothes, and after maintaining for a bit - I will give them away.
It is still pretty easy to stick to plan. I am not hungry -- oh ya, I sometimes miss the action of munching on something, or the comfort of pizza etc. BUT I should be at goal in no time flat - and then - I will be able to enjoy these things (in moderation).
Foods I really enjoy on IP:
Yogurt Drink
Chocolate Drink (I make hot chocolate).
Crispy Cereal.
Granola Bars.
Parmesan Crisps
kmac
p.s. - feel free to comment if you read this....I dont' know if anyone is reading it or not... :-)
