Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. I'm a single mom to 3 little ones, work full time in an office setting, and need to lose about 30 pounds. Seems I kept about 10 extra pounds from each pregnancy!!
I've tried WW in the past with little success. I actually don't mind exercising...it's the healthy food/dieting I struggle with. My goal this year is not only to lose the extra weight, but to get myself and my kids eating healthier.
I'm going to a seminar on Ideal Protein this week and when I was looking for info on IP, I ran across this site. After reading through the forum, I knew I had to join! I look forward to "meeting" you and sharing our success on this journey!

Welcome!

Glad to have you join us. Don't forget to check out the IP sub-forum!

Hey Kat!

We have a great, active IP forum here, which hopefully you've found. We also have groups by age range (20-somethings, 30-somethings, etc) for general chatting and support, and then there are a TON of smaller support groups. So look around and find a spot, then just settle in.

Can't wait to get to know you better!

Hi Kat!
Would you be interested in partnering up? We have pretty similar goals!

Thanks!



Andrea

If you read my intro post we are both trying to lose those extra 30 pounds! I would love to know what you are doing and what you learn from the protein seminar. I have a hard time eating means and most of my protein comes from beans, which I rarely eat. Anyhow, welcome and I know you can do it WE are busy determined women and can conquer anything so long as we have a goal and a positive outlook on it all!!!! Cheers!

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Fresno - I'd definitely be interested in partnering up. I definitely push myself harder when I have someone to hold me accountable!

30byJune - I know how busy life can be - seems like as working mothers there are never enough hours in the day! I've been stepping up my workouts and have a goal to walk/jog/bike an average of 5 miles every day in February. Eating is my biggest struggle. I have a long drive to/from work and then scouts, soccer, etc after work - drive-thrus are too convenient and I need to start doing a better job at planning meals. I'm hoping Ideal Protein can help me get on track.

I started on Ideal Protein in April of 2010 and I am looking for someone to keep me motivated on IP, I ran across this site. After reading through the forum, I knew I had to join! I feel as if my weight loss has slowed down and I feeling really depressed over it! Please help me in anyway! Thanks!
