I have created this blog to offer ideas and hopefully some motivation as well as to inform those who may be interested in the diet. I would love comments about your successes, frustrations,ideas, or recipes. If anyone would like to share their story or recipes I would love to add you as an author to this blog.

Week 15

Down 5.6 pounds for a total of 55.4!!! The last couple of weeks I could feel my self starting to slip and not following my plan the way that I knew I should. Last weekend I called my good friend who also coaches with Ideal Protein and told her I needed some coaching. (Sometimes the coaching doesn't go over so well when it is coming from your husband:) She told me to give myself the weekend to take it easy and then to start fresh with 100% commitment. So I did, and I guess it worked. The important thing is to refocus instead of giving up. This program works too well to waste the time and money. I feel amazing and wonder what the future me will feel like. I am so happy to have found a plan that is working so well for me and am thrilled that so many of you are having such great results also. I don't know how many of you watched Oprahs show on weight loss this week, but she talked about looking past all that you see in the mirror into your eyes and into your soul. That is who we really need to love and the rest will follow. I tried this and I just started crying, because that person inside of this body is beautiful and tries hard to be a good person. I do love my soul and I want the outside of me to reflect that. Have a great week!

    I LOVE these recipes! I've a new mission to find recipes like this and change my family's diet for the better. I've lost all of my weight and am in the 3rd phase of the diet. It has been a harder road for me, with nausea, but I found the foods I love and am happy with the results. Thank you Skaggs family for helping me find a new way of eating better. :)

    Brandi,
    I am so excited about how well you did on the program and especially with so little to lose! Sometimes when you are so close to your goal it is a little trickier to get the pounds off. It was great to see that this diet works just as well for a few pounds as it does for those of us who have a ways to go;) Congratulations on your success and if you find any good recipes please share them.

    I have found a great place to track what I eat, easily. And, I can add in recipes that I love to see the nutrition. I think I've added a few of yours. Here is the link to my Recipe box. I hope to find more veggie recipes. It's been hard to omit potatoes and bread from EVERY meal, and only eat them once a day. http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/more-about-me.asp?user=7289075

    I'm so happy I found your blog. I began the Ideal Protein three weeks ago and I really need lots of motivation. I only had to lose 15 pounds and because I lost 9 of them in the first two weeks, I kind of thought I could cheat a little bit. On my third week, I didn't lose any pounds so now I am more than determined to lose the last 6 and KEEP THEM OFF! Thank you for all the recipies and information!

    Hi Anonymous,
    Congratulations on getting started! Stay strong for a couple more weeks and you will be done! I have to ask, because I have had a couple of people now that have stumbled on my blog. How do you go about finding it? I'm so glad you can but didn't know it was possible. Best wishes with the rest of your weight loss, you will do great. There is no better motivation than seeing the changes so quickly!

    I wanted more information on what happens to the ketosis process if you cheat, so I think I googled "cheating on Ideal Protein" and your blog was one of the first few results.
    Thanks for the good wishes!

    I'm going on week 13 of this diet and I am almost to 50 lbs. But I'm finding myself having a really hard time sticking to it. But hopefully these recipes will help me stick to it better and get back on track. Congrats on your success also. Best wishes.
