I started Ideal Protein on September 11th. I tend to get angry when I am hungry so I decided to spare my husband the first two days of dealing with me since he was going to be out of town . My husband once barricaded himself in a room with the phone when I was on a diet. I wanted to cheat and order some pizza. Sound ridiculous but it is an absolutely true story. It's an anecdote that my mom and husband still laugh about.
As much as I don't want to put my weight into print, I am going to be brutally honest. I had lost some weight on my own in August and still tipped the scale at 321.6 lbs. I wanted to throw up when I saw the number.
Here is a picture of my from April of this year. I will have to remember to log in to my clinic account later and get a copy of my initial pictures to post.
The first few days weren't as bad as I thought they would be. I had once tried the HCG diet and that was way more excruciating. I used the first week to try as much of a variety of the foods as I could. My mom had several extra packets she had stockpiled so she could give me to try. Thanks again Mom! I was surprised that I was more full that I had anticipated. I loved that there were a variety of IP foods that I liked and options for doctoring them up to make them more enjoyable. I am also lucky that I had previously discovered my affinity for a variety of vegetables. I drank a ton of water and just kept reminding myself that I was drinking away the pounds.
So, at my first weigh in, I came in at 312.3 with a total loss of 9.3 lbs and 11 1/4 inches. IN ONE WEEK!!!!!
