New here!

  • Hello all! I'm Lindsay, looking to shed ... well, enough. Anywhere from 40-50lbs. I've been on and off, but in keeping with my goal, I know support is important. Needless to say it was really awesome to come across this site while looking for a few tips.
    Most days I'm one to eat healthy though I'm sure we're all known to splurge a bit. I'm a member of Planet Fitness locally and love to bike when the weather's warm. I also work at a job where I'm constantly moving around so exercise is not a problem.
    Anywho, I look forward to getting to know each of you!

    I've spent the evening reading and getting very "re-inspired".
    I started Ideal Protein in 2011 and it was amazing! I felt awesome, maybe too awesome. I lost 42 of the 50 lbs. I wanted to and then just got too comfortable. After our family moved to another state, I found myself enjoying everything too much so now I'm pretty much back to the drawing board. I'm determined because I feel awful, can't wear ANY of my close... I know it can be done, easily too! The cost was holding me back and.... giving up wine.
    Well, my daughter graduates from HS in May and my husband and I celebrate 22 yrs. the same weekend. I just want to be thin again, proud of my body and looking at the next 22 years in a new body. Turning 51 this month, things are definitely different as you age.... grrrrrrr

    I hope I can do what you all have done! Thanks for sharing, you make it real and possible.
  • I just signed up today as well. I've been reading 3FC since starting IP in October 2012. Thought I would take ONE day off for Valentine's Day dinner with my hubby.... Nearly TWO months later and still haven't been able to restart. So, here I am and ready to re-commit!
  • Welcome and good luck on your journey!!
