Default Getting thinner, one day at a time
I'm so glad I found this site! I have been on the Ideal Protein plan for 10 weeks. I began because of my husband, who was 150 pounds overweight. His doctor recommended IP and, being supportive, I went to the seminar and appointment with him. As I read the literature, I realized how hard it would be for him if I wasn't eating the same foods and going through the same experiences.
Long story short, I went to my doctor for the mandatory blood test and surprise, surprise...my cholesterol and triglycerides were high, but more importantly, I have a thyroid problem that I never knew about!

I've never been concerned with my weight. At 215, I felt okay, wore 16-18 sizes in clothes and just didn't think much about it. Talk about denial! I have now lost 35 pounds (he's lost 70!). But Friday was our "Measure your boobs and butt" day and I've lost 21 inches!!! He's only lost 11.5, so I felt the thrill of victory. Should I say "COMPETITVE?"

Our doctor started this plan in Jan. 2009 and his patients have lost a total of 10,000, but there didn't seem to be much of a support group, locally. So, now that I've found you all, I plan to use this as an extra motivator!

Can't wait to read more inspiring stories from everyone!

Welcome, glad to have you join us. I suggest you look for a Support Group or Challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated, find one that inspires you or fits your needs, and just post to join.

Be sure to check out the Ideal Protein sub-forum, too.

I have been looking at the sub-forum and have found lots of great info. Where should I look for a support group or challenge? I live in a very small community and haven't found anything, locally.
