Carla,
I was just looking at your pictures and I just have to say, WOW!!!!!. How did you get your arms so slim and tone.? That is my biggest problem area. I know everyone is different but I really would like to do the same workout you do. You look fabulous!!!

Yowsa!!

LOOKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

WOW! So very u'i (beautiful). I am even more excited and determined to stick to my IP plan. Mahalo for all you are doing on these "Threads". You are helping everyone a great deal.

Carla,
Been scanning the site, as I am new to IP. You are so beautiful, inspiring and helpful. Thank you!

Hot gal! Hot gal! Congratulations!!!!!!! You are so inspiring

Thank you! I honestly just barely feel average now so, THANK YOU! I am sure you will look wonderful! The inner glow alone from accomplishing something so important to us changes how others see us!

You're welcome and thank you for taking time to comment. I appreciate your compliments but, trust me, I do have 30 pounds to still go! (it's a girl thing and clothes can hide so much!)

THANKS!! I hope IP is going well for you! Have you found us on the Ideal Protein subforum? Here is the link: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/ideal-protein-diet-236/

I am so glad!! I was just thinking of you today! I need to send you a pm and ask about how your business plans were going!

Thanks!

Thank you! I am very happy with how things have gone.

AWWW! Thank you! That is so nice to hear.

I keep hearing that. I really am not sure how it happened my arms were the size of a small thigh when I started losing (just at 19") now they are 11.25" (inches). I am still working to have better tone but, overall, I am very happy.

Thanks! I believe it was a combination of the diet, my past history of working out and, I have a large bone structure (just a hair under 7 inches on my wrist which is bony). My BMI says I am still overweight and I am still not at a "Great" body fat but, my body fat is about 28%. I would like to get down to about 20%.

Thank you, Lady!! I love reading your updates too! I think the entire group on the IP chat boards is very supportive and encouraging. I am so glad you are there too!


Thank you! I didn't realize how much older the weight was making me. The funny thing is I now have forehead wrinkles where I didn't when I was fatter!

Thank you, Coqui! I wish I could give you something more than I did on the forum chat. I really didn't do anything special for the arms.

YOU are so special! Thanks! I love pin up gals and burlesque art. I smile every time I see your avatar! I have a few that are my "inspiration". I want to wear a "pinup" girl look for a halloween costume next year!

Mahalo to you! I very much enjoy and gain support from all the Ideal Protein group. I just feel I am giving back what I have been given. I hope you, Jules, and Linden have a chance to encourage each other in the next few months! I wonder if you are all going to be on the same Island?

THANK YOU!! I am so enjoying your participation with the group. You are really a very nice addition and, you are so MOTIVATED!


Thank you!






THANK YOU! I very much appreciate all the compliments and feedback. At present, I am just maintaining my loss. Beginning January I will be back to the program and taking off the last of the unnecessary pounds. I will post more pictures as I meet goals along the way.

Happy Holidays to everyone!

You look great! You are proof that IP works which makes me want to stick to the program!!

Carla,

You look amazing! Thank you for posting your pictures. It is inspirational and I look forward to seeing your updated pictures in the new year.

Rock on Girl!

You look amazing.. Congrats on your achievements!

Lookin' good!!!

Wow, the posts are inspiring here!

In the last 5 years I've gained over 75 pounds due to a foot injury and depression. My foot is better and I have overcome the depression thanks to a good counselor and a book called Choice Theory by William Glasser, MD.
After divorcing and getting myself stable again, I heard from my physician friend that she was very impressed with Ideal Protein's program and that many people that she knows have lost weight and kept it off. She's very picky and promotes healthy-eating. I trusted her impression and observations and found an Ideal Protein clinic 2 hours away from home.

Yesterday was my first full day and I am confident that I will benefit the way many have while using this protocol.

I like the Forum and all that it offers for support. There is no time to go to a support meeting in person, but this can be enjoyed during breaks at work!
I would write more, but time is a factor here. Glad to have joined and hope to learn, support and celebrate the progress!
