Hello !
I am new here. Going to my Ideal Protein orientation tomorrow. I have tinkered with removing weight, and had minor success previously, but have never really made a big dent in the amount of weight I need to remove and it was not sustainable (resulting in gaining it back). I am SCARED about the road ahead of me, fears of hunger pains, grumpiness (I generally get "Hangry" (hunger --> angry) and other side effects, but am hopeful that it will start me off on a road to better health.

Warmest,
S

Hi, I'm new too~

Welcome !!

Happy to see other newcomers!

hello there and welcome ! i was never on IP myself but i have been on a few meal replacement programs like it ..the first week is rough but after that it gets much easier..you wont even feel hungry anymore after that

howdy! I am new here as well-so happy to find others who struggle too!

Hi! I am new as well. I started IP on Monday and have looked through and posted on a couple of other threads. I love this site! Good luck to everyone. I am excited to start on this journey together. I will try to figure out how the posting works. It's a bit confusing right now.

Btw...i am down 5 lbs on day 3!

Hi hangry, I gave up for many years dieting, because every time I did I gained more weight , so got so scared of dieting I wouldn't even think of it. May I say from your picture that you look pretty good .

I have been drinking the chocolate drink each morning and tried it cold and warm. Didn't particularly like it, didn't hate it....but hoped i would get used to it. This morning i tried the mocha frappuccino recipe using the chocolate drink mix and i really like it! This will help a lot!

Started this morning. Choked down a orange drink. It wasn't too bad, but it wasn't too great.

Hi sarita! I am day 4 and have had to choke down the pre-mixed mango drink. However, today it didn't seem so bad. I think you start to get used to the textures and flavors of foods the longer you are on the plan. Good luck to you.

Thanks! And good luck to you too!

Hi Sarita, I am new as well and reading all the post from new people and getting responses it seems like this is a great support system. I look foward to hearing your journey as well as completing mine. Good luck.

Hi All!! I am on day 3.. and the soups are HORRIBLE!!! but it isn't so bad.. day 2 I had bad headaches but today wasn't so bad.. I find that I have a lot of energy.. I hope yall are doing good and I look forward to hearing about your success!!! Good Luck to all of you

Welcome and good luck on your journey!!
