Just wanted to say hi to some locals! I'm in Seattle and this is my 4th week on IP. My cousin, who is also in this forum, told me about it and I had to give it a shot. So far I have managed to stay 100% OP with very little cravings so I'm gonna give this lifestyle change a "**** YEAH!"

Welcome the program and to the fellow Washingtonians.

You are doing well on the program and being 100% is a real key to success, in my opinion. The ability to stay with the program is critical and the discipline that you develop from that should serve you well in maintaining this as you go on later in life on your own.

This board has been a real key to my success. I struggled and it was the unquestioning support from the people here that has kept me going.

Whoa... hey cuz..... lol

It's too bad we can't all get together and have a Super Bowl Party, Ideal Protein style!

That would be a lovely idea and guessing by now, most have already started plans. I would offer our house, plenty of room in front of the big screen, but we are putting the house on the market this Monday.

Then it means keeping everything immaculate, in place, and beautiful smelling in case we get a call to show the house. No sauteing, frying, or cooking anything that leaves an odor! It is like living in a museum.

Howdy! I'm from Pasco and my hubby and I are starting IP on Monday. Really looking forward to starting IP. I'm alllllmost done weaning my daughter, I'm so excited to have my body to myself and getting back in the saddle.
My brother lost 135 lbs and is continuing to lose weight with IP.

I didn't realize there were so many Washingtonians up in here.

Hi there! I am way up in the upper left corner of WA on Orcas Island. I take the ferry to San Juan Island to go to San Juan Holistic Healthcare each week to see my coach.

Oh my, my dream location: the San Juans. Welcome!

Thought the Washington IPers would enjoy my Seahawks nails!

RuthAnn - the nails are so divine and lucky you can wear them proudly for days to come! Yea, Seahawks.

Welcome, johnsdeere - the program is such a valuable one and to have the support of your husband doing with you is great. Good luck and visit the site often. It is a great and valued support system.

Tr-Cities here!

Welcome Luz - this site has been a great source of support for me. I am pretty sure I could not have made it without their help. Particularly helpful when I was going through tough times.

I am as well! And our weights and heights are about the same! Tell me about your journey?

Thank you! Just trying to figure out this website. Not sure if I am using it right!

Anyways! I began IP on January 20th. I've lose 5.6 lbs so far. Feel sort of let down because its not as much as I wanted! But I suppose I should be happy its something!

Hi all,
I'm in the
tri-cities also, Kennewick to be exact. Good to know there are people from Washington on here.
