Hi everyone, I wanted to make a little introduction before jumping into conversations. I've been lurking for a couple months now. I found this site by googling questions I had about IP, and you've helped answer some! I've been on IP since around Feb 14. I started at 198, and am now 153. I've had some cheat days (not worth the guilt), so I know I could have a higher weight loss. I'm 5' 2 3/4. I'm not sure what my goal weight should be, but I'm thinking 125 - 130. But anyway, this is me.

Congrats on your loss and welcome aboard!

Hi. I am new also. Have my 1st weigh in today. Wish me luck!

I am starting Phase 1 today! Have been lurking also for quite some time and today is crunch time for me! Congrats Sonya...awesome! I hope I can achieve your success and find so many people here to be an inspiration!

Hi and Welcome! Congrats on your loss so far! At least you know this program works. I love this board, cant get enough.

This is my first week OP too and first weigh is today. This is actually the first time I have ever used a forum like 3FC....I love it! The people on here are so helpful and motivating! I come here first with any questions and usually end up staying for quite a while....WELCOME!

To all our newbies both to the thread and to Ideal Protein!!!

Fun Fact: The most chattiest thread is the Daily, then followed by the 100% OP group , at least that's what I think. Our Stickies thread at the top of this section has recipes for you, information on how to get your signature, as well as your ticker (cuz we all wait for that day it seems )
