Well, it has been 6 months (26 weeks). The time has just flown bye! I have to say the rewarding feeling of all we have accomplished has far far outweighed any difficulties that we encountered over the last 6 months.
This weeks report : Loss of 2.8 lbs (16 days) - total loss to date 64.8lbs.
Inches lost - this time only 2.75" (for a month) - which is CRAZY because my clothes felt like they got looser this month than other months! Total inches lost to date - 52 1/2". WOW! That explains how I have gone done 4 sizes in my jeans! This time all the inches were off my waist, and hips and thighs - which makes me very happy!
Now -- Hubby - Loss in inches this time 11 inches! Are you kidding me!!! His is still doing great! His total inches lost now is 75" !! OMG! He has now lost in inches more than he is in Height! He is feeling GREAT!
True confession time again..... I went away on the weekend of the 10th - with friends for a spa and overnight stay in a hotel. We really enjoyed it, BUT I went off plan for 2 days. So -- that being said - and the fact that I kicked out of ketosis and WASTED 3 days -- I am actually happy with my small loss this time.
Time to buckle down and get these last few lbs OFF FOREVER! Take Care - and Good Luck on any weight loss journeys of your own.
Until next time. kmac

Weeks 23 and 24 Ideal Protein Diet
It was only 11 days between weigh ins. I have been trying to go 2 weeks, just because we don't need weekly coaching anymore (it's been long enough).
Official weigh in - on March 5th, 2012 - Loss of 4.6lbs! (In 11 days!).
total loss to date - 62 lbs!
WOW! Still SO pleased with the way things have been going.
I am only 8 LBS away from my original goal. I am considering changing it to a lower number because things have been going so well. I think I will cross that bridge when I get to it.
I am really looking forward to getting onto maintenance - as this is the part of all diet programs that I have NEVER gotten into my head. I WILL NOT gain this weight back. IP has a BIG focus on maintaining the loss - so I am pretty confident with the great coaches I WILL figure this out.
PLUS - neither hubby or I want to face down another big loss like this, it can be overwhelming. One day at a time - or, as we did in the beginning: a promise to yourself that you WILL make it through 8 weeks, or 4 weeks, or 12 weeks....
I have been sticking to the program, and it is showing. I feel like I am losing inches as well.
I have been to the gym a few times with my husband - it is good that we have both joined up now, we should keep each other motivated. He is still sticking to the program like glue!. He says this is the best diet he has ever been on, because he is not hungry at all. I (being a girl) have cravings on occassion - but they have certainly been managable. Those highs and lows that we all experience with the standard North American diet are not being missed by either one of us at all!
Until next time!
