  • Hello, My name is Lori, I started on a Ideal Protein diet I found the threads here very helpful. I started on the diet in may 5-11-11. I am almost off of the diet I am on Phase 3. My birthday is at the end of this month and I will be off it by then and very happy.

    I have lost weight before without a diet program but it was slower. (A year to be exact.) That time was before my pregnancy and I lost about 50 pounds.

    But then I got pregnant and I gained 45 pounds during my pregnancy. After I had the baby. unfortunately I made some bad choices like using the depo shot as birth control. I gained 42 pounds.

    With Ideal protein I was able to lose 66 pounds in 4-5 months. I found my energy came back to me and I am a lot happier now. Ive learned a great deal being on the diet. I almost to can catch up to my daughter whos 19 months old. Anyways that is my introduction.
  • Welcome!

    As you've seen there's an IP section, and lots of support to be found.

    Best of luck!
  • Welcome and congratulations on your weight loss and reaching your goal! Does this Ideal Protein Diet have a maintenance phase for you to follow? I only ask because losing 66 pounds in 4 months is rather quick, so you wouldn't want to just start eating your maintenance calories once you reach goal but add them in slowly. You probably already knew this, but I'm just checking. I wish you much success in your maintenance.
