Hey everyone! My name is Chris and I am 22 years old. I'm a senior college student from Texas, and am setting a goal of fifty pounds. I started IP yesterday and am looking forward to losing the weight and keeping it off. Any support would obviously be appreciated!
Hi Chris!
Sounds like you're off to a good start with a great plan - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on..
Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated and inspired. Try 20 somethings, the Ideal Protein forum and the weight loss support forums, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a definite must for motivation.
There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.
I've only been here since last fall, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.
So welcome - you've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
Let's do this!
