Hi everyone, I set up an account with 3 fat chicks over a year ago, however never really utilized this site for more than a brief read. I recently did some digging and reading and have found that this is a great tool and hopefully I will find the support that I so desperately need in my life right now to motivate me to keep working toward my goals. (and to meet some great folks!)

(and to meet some great folks!)

I started Ideal Protein March 24th after seeing my two co-workers have some pretty dramatic results. I have half-heartedly followed some diets over the past couple of years, but I did not give anything any real effort. For the past 10 years I would say I have been in denial about my weight gain post children and in a depression that I keep hidden from the outside world. **** I even bottled it up with my then husband, leading us to an inevitable divorce. Since then it was one sabotage after the next, I picked up smoking again after having quit for 15 years (I know stupid right)

The point is, I just watched another who struggled with her weight and we had similar weight gain stories however she had a ton of family support and her outlook was so damned positive that she really inspired me. I woke up one morning and said F*%^ this Jazz, I want to me happy and have a life...and the first that I need to do it have a better sense of self and for me that means getting my out of control body back in check and stop the b**ching :dizzy: Ideal Protein has helped me so far, the results are undeniable, I do fear the next few phases, I do not want to eat packets of powder forever so I am trying to stay focused on no cheating...

Its not going to be an easy road but I plan on dropping just over 100 lbs, which seems like an unattainable goal atm, but I am down 30ish lbs currently. I wanted to start dating again,(one thing at a time right?) but I need to pace myself because that could end up getting in the way of my journey. What are your thoughts on this? I would be nice to have someone to share and be supportive of me, I am alone except my two sons, and they are def. supportive but it would be nice to have someone appreciate me in a non motherly way if you catch my drift;)

Spreading the word... I had my 6pm WI and lost 4 lbs this week --- bringing my recent 30 day total loss to 7.8 -- I'd say that's pretty darn good for month 9 on the IP program when I am only 12lbs to goal.

Losses have been so slow, with more upticks than downward moves, for the past couple of months. This week is the whoosh I have been waiting for....
:woohoo: YAY!!! :woohoo:

Wow! Awesome loss! Did you do anything different this week? I am excited to say I finally hit the 180's (albeit 189 :) ) today! That was exciting to see on the scale. Now I need a good 'whoosh' like you had!
