Hello friends -

Starting a new thread for a fresh start! Wishing you all a wonderful day and weekend ahead

Hi! Still plugging along. Bad craves today, but I'm ignoring them About 23 lbs down after cheating on a cruise for 5 days.

Hooray - I am so happy that these threads are still going. I had fabulous success with IP. I have just restarted - looking forward to reading your posts and posting. I am just on my way to work. I just wanted to pop in and quickly say “Hello!”
I must change my stats later….not only am I bigger….I am now shorter. 😝

I have updated my stats. It’s a bit intimidating looking at the scale and seeing how much I need to lose. I have to just keep reminding myself that previously on IP I lost 80 lbs and maintained it for a year and a half. I can do this - I know I can!

I had my first weigh in today and I’m down 8.4 pounds - I feel good, hopeful and grateful to be back on track with a program that I was so successful with. I am a bit scared…scared of losing and not maintaining. Last time I did IP I kept the weight off for almost 2 years. I truly thought I would never gain the weight back. Now, here I am fatter then ever. I just pray that I learned something from my previous mistakes. I am sick of dieting - I want to change my way of eating forever. I am so sick and tired of playing this game Enough is enough. I do know from experience that when I have control over my weight and make sensible choices, the power I feel is immeasurable.

You will do great! So happy to see you here and hopefully others will follow. I have been offline for a while due to some personal health issues, but I will be back on track tomorrow - Wednesday - 9/20/2023.

We can do this and congrats on your loss!!
