Hi Everyone! I'm so glad I found this site, have been lurking for a few days.
I'm Pam and am from Plymouth, MA. Recently turned 47 and work in an office with a fellow foodie. The two of us are evil influences on each other and in the past three years, I initially lost 10 pounds, then gained 30 so am now at my highest weight ever.

One of her friends had great success with Ideal Protein so we decided to commit to doing it together. I started this past weekend and after bragging to my sister how I never get the flu....I got hit hard with the flu! Have been home from work all week on the sofa. The good news is that I know I've lost at least 5 pounds! Not quite the way I wanted to do it though. It's also been pretty easy to stick to the diet while sick because I haven't been craving my usual bad stuff.

Maybe in a way it's easier to start a diet like this when you are sick because you're focused on getting better and paying less attention to the food that you are missing!

Good luck to everyone.
~Pam

Hi Pam! I recently turned 45 and and share an office with a guy with a whopping metabolism! We go out to eat on Fridays and I have a hard time behaving when we do (maybe I'll cancel for today). Anyway, while I've had success with WW, I've also had success with high protein/low carb and actually enjoy it more than WW. I started again this week with high protein/low carb and my husband started something similar so, our fingers are crossed for success. Good luck to you!

Hi Pam! I turned 48 in the fall and just started Ideal Protein about a week ago. I find it to be much easier than other diets I've tried and see this as being my last diet and the start of healthy eating. Good luck to you!
