Hi everyone! I have been waiting a long time to say that I have officially been on IP for 6 months and I am LOVING IT! In the past 6 months I have totally changed the way I look at food and myself, and I could not be happier. For all those that are considering starting the program, DO IT. Health is the best gift you can give yourself.
Before starting IP, I was 25 years old, 5'2, weighing 230 lbs. I was miserable in my body. I didn't feel good about myself, and didn't feel like a "normal" 25 year old who can go hang out with her friends and feel young. I was preventing myself from normal 25 year old activities because I didn't think I could physically do it.
Now, I feel great. Friends have told me that I am glowing and they have never seen me so happy. I have gotten messages from people that I haven't spoken to in years telling me that I have inspired them to start a weight loss journey.
In 6 months I have lost 59 lbs. (almost hit 60 in 6 months!!) and too many inches to count. I have gone from a size 18 to 8 in pants, and an XL to a M. I am off all of my medication, and my blood work is normal.
I am not writing this to brag - I truly hope that this will uplift someone having a rough day or someone considering starting IP. Do it, stick with it, IT WORKS. I am not done yet (about 20-30 lbs. to go), but so far, it has been the most successful thing I have ever done.
I attached a photo for those interested
