Hi! I am a new member and would like to introduce myself. I live in NC and will be restarting my IP diet. I was on IP from 10/2010 through 5/2011 and lost about 30 pounds. I maintained for a while, but have now regained about 15 pounds. I will be restarting this plan on my own this time using Lindora foods. The IP packets just got to be too expensive. I think I will do better with the support that forum members provide. It is difficult for me to lose and I lose slowly and get discouraged at times, but feel SO good after I get my weight down to about 130. Thanks for any encouragement and I look forward to "meeting" all of you!

Birdie, welcome, glad to have you join us. I suggest you look for a Challenge or Support group to join; small check-in groups make it easier to connect, get involved, and be accountable. We have groups centering around specific diet plans, themes, or age groups, so find one that inspires you and just post to join! Be sure to check out the IP forum, but there's also a support group just for slow losers which you might want to check out. http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/supp...r-6-salsa.html

BIRDIE ~ there are lots of restarters/relosers here; and there is even a thread for that in the 100 lb forum & as mentioned an IP thread as well -- just keep on, keepin' on. That's the key to success ...
