Trying to stick with it this time
 

Hello! I found this forum after googling some recipes for my latest weight loss adventure. I'm hoping that the motivation I find here will help me keep going. I've always been the "big kid" but am trying to loose some weight and find a healthier me. I am a wife, mom of 2 and full time special ed teacher.

A friend and I recently got some paperwork from another friend about the IP diet and trying to do it together. I started a few days ago so here's to keeping at it!! I've checked out some of the forums and it looks like you all have a great support network. Thanks for having me here!

:welcome:

I'm a teacher too! I teach music in an elementary school. :-)

If you believe in yourself, you will do it this time. :) Imagine the finish line and the small triumphs you will achieve along the way. These could be losing 10 pounds or rewarding yourself after a milestone with a new outfit or hairstyle.

:goodluck:

Welcome and good luck on your journey!!

one day at a time and you will succeed

Welcome!

There's a really active IP group here.

I'm counting calories and using Beck Diet for Life strategies and I find the Beck forum and the "Getting out of the <190s>" to be incredibly supportive groups. They have kept me from falling off the wagon and staying off--I have a connection with the people that has me admitting to mistakes and getting back on track rather than giving up.

I think that a good support system is key to success for many of us!
