First I am not expecting a reply to anything but I am just writing in the hopes that someone else may read this and be helped a little on their own journey.
I have been fighting against the weight gain for the past 3 years. It was one thing after another. A serious back injury at work that left me flat on my back for almost a year where I gain almost one hundred pounds, then I got pregnant right behind that and before I gave birth I entered nursing school and the pounds just kept adding up.
I watched my instructors in nursing school (three of them!!) go through the IP diet and thought "I could do that." But then Became bogged down with the homework and paperwork that is entailed with nursing school and so dismissed it. Then my mom started with IP and I have watched her have great success and I am so proud of her! And so I have decided that enough was enough I am determined to lose this weight!! I already had one heart attack before the age of thirty had I have no burning desire for another! So wish me luck today is my first day on the Journey to my goal!!!

Hello there! Welcome to 3FC. I hope the IP program is successful for you- there are several members here who have lost quite a bit of weight on the program, and at least one person I know of here is a leader herself. Best of luck to you on your journey to being a healthy you!!
