It can be done.
This is a great program!
Yea, Deana...I have missed hearing from you. I know you are super busy but your posting was like a bright light shining through the rain and fog of a Pacific Northwest morning!
What I love reading about you is the thought that you are going to go through your young life NOT being hampered/restrained/held back by weight. My weight varied from high school and college and on but it was never truly low.
There are so many things on which I allowed myself to lose out because of my weight - I was afraid of being seen, looking stupid, feeling conspicuous, being stared at - whatever!
Now I am turning 60 and I look at you and think how wonderful it is that you are getting a handle on this now. My prayers and thoughts are always with you, cheering you on.
So, now back to the question - YES, it is possible to lose over 100 pounds on IP and yes, it is life changing and worth every moment. As wise
Lisa says, it is a struggle every day to fight obesity. This program is not a permanent fix because it is something we must think about, try to work through every single day with challenges coming from all directions. And it is possible. (OK, off my soapbox - I hit -100 today so I am full of the devil today...feeling perky and sassy!)
