Hi there my name is Deanna and I live in Florida. I am new to IP, I started last Friday 2/3/12 after my trainer at the gym introduced me to the rep. I did some research online and thought it was just another diet that starves you and takes your money...nothing long term. Boy was I wrong! I have so much support from the rep. She calls and checks in on me, and lets me text or call her if I have any questions. I should be in ketosis by tomorrow morning, but I really haven't had any ill effects, and I haven't been that hungry. Plus, as of this morning I am already down 4 lbs! Good luck to everyone considering this diet or already on it. I hope to be 100 lbs lighter by this time next year!

Welcome to the forum! Best of luck on your weight loss journey!

Thank you! Good luck to you!

Welcome Deanna!! I, too, am new to IP. Today is day one of the Ideal Protein diet for me. I'm in your shoes--I would like to lose 110 pounds over the course of the next 12 months. I've set mini-goals for myself with small rewards for achieving those goals. Rather than thinking of the big goal of 110 pounds, I'm taking it in small 10 pound increments. I'm hoping to lose at least 10 pounds in the first month.

Good luck to you!!
