On journey to reclaim my zest for life. I got too insulated from the world by eating. I was and still am too heavy. I have lost 36 pounds as of January 11, 2016. I started November 4th 2015. Would love to get to 180. My coach says I'll make it to 150!!!
I'll be happy being one hundred something.

I have always been a big girl. I have tried many diets. I have also tried isagenix which was great but expensive. I have low self esteem and hate what I see when I look in the mirror.

After not doing much cooking for years, skipping meals and then menopause I found myself with a 40 lb weight gain over a period of 8 years. I had a moment of realization after stepping on the scale in October and am proud to say with the help of IP I am down 17 lbs!! I'm cooking again, eating again and not letting menopause stand in my way. I really need some help with planning tasty IP compliant protein meals. So happy to have found this site!

Struggled with my weight since about age 45- I stopped smoking, had a stressful career- I'm now newly retired and want to eat and stay healthy. I have done IP. Before, but regained it all back. I have 30 lbs to lose that should put my body fat below 30.

Whew ... where to start. I've been struggling with weight, and later Type 2 diabetes, most of my life. I'm getting married in April 2017, to a wonderful man. In a previous (horrible) relationship, my then partner was arguing with me about getting married. (He managed to string me along for 9 years until I realized he actually never wanted to get married, and when I started defending myself, he decided to move across the country ... it's a long, sad, somewhat embarrassing story.) Anyway, at one point he was getting upset that I was asking him more directly about when we were going to get married, and he said "what? do you really want to be a fat bride?" You'd think that would have tipped me off that he was unsuitable for a relationship. The main thing is though that I realized I don't want to be overweight at my wedding. I don't want to be overweight at all. I'm tired of taking diabetes medications. I'm tired of feeling uncomfortable in my clothes. So, I started Ideal Protein last Sunday, 13 Nov. 2016. I am feeling really good.

I started this journey about 9 months ago when my neurologist recommended I significantly reduce my sugar intake to try to control my migraines. As my migraines had progressively become worse, I was willing to try anything, including giving up my beloved sugar. As of today I have lost my migraines as well as 90 pounds and 45 inches!

My original weight was 228 lbs. With the Ideal Protein Diet I lost58 lbs in about a year. I went off the diet and my weight has ballooned to 222lbs. Back again.
The most difficult part is that I am a vegetarian.

I have been on Ideal Protein since two weeks before Thanksgiving and have lost almost 25 pounds. I have tried for years to lose weight but this is successful. : )

Struggling with my weight during my adult life, It seemed I tried every diet. I was successful at times and some times I wasn’t. In 2014, a friend of mine was starting on the Ideal Protein Protocol. I was skeptical and decided to take a wait and watch approach. Over the next few months, I could see results and major accomplishments with her weight loss.

I decided that I needed to try the Ideal Protein Protocol to see if I could get the same results. I started early in 2015 and within 2 weeks of trying the protocol, I knew that I had to open a clinic to help others with weight and health issues associated with Metabolic Syndrome. I opened in a small office space April 23, 2015 and reached out to friends and family.

Soon the results of my first clients were showing around town. Referrals began to come in and we started to grow! My career path started when I was 16 years old as a lifeguard. To add to my roles of mom and business owner, I am active in many areas of the community and I remain working with our other business Advanced Paramedic Limited as an EMT. I am rewarded by helping people during times of need.

I have tried many diets over the years and nothing has worked. I couldn't stomach the meal replacements or highly restricted food lists. I have been on Ideal Protein for a week and I'm am falling in love with food again. So far, my favorite meals are the omelets and the broccoli and cheese soup. I finally feel like there is hope. My plan is to take off 100 lbs, stop taking blood pressure medicine, and stop myself from flowing a path straight to diabetes.

I am just starting on ideal protein. I have been struggling with my weight since I was 12 years old. I have finally decided it is time for me to do something about my weight. I want to feel and look better!

Hi , my name is Carla. I started Ideal Protein 6 weeks ago and just love it! I previously lost 92 pounds through weight watchers and kept it off but still had 20 lbs to go to hit my goal weight. Well I am almost there. I love the program and the food. And am looking for new recipes :)

I gained a lot of weight after a car accident that fractured my neck in 3 places. Luckily I was not paralyzed and I'm grateful everyday for that. Before my accident I was in amazing shape. I worked out all the time. Ate well. I felt good and looked fantastic. After my accident I gained about 50lbs over the course of 2 or 3 years. It sucked and I really struggled with my self esteem and image. Few years later my Fiancée and I had a baby boy and to my amazement I LOST all my baby weight in a matter of a few weeks and actually weighed less that I did before I got pregnant. I was so happy and couldn't believe it but the scale still read 185 so I felt better, but not great. Once I stopped breast feeding the weight came back, and quickly. Within 2 months I was back up to 205lbs. I felt horrible and I was angry with myself. My mom introduced me to Ideal Protein a few years ago but I didn't take it seriously. A dear friend of hers own the clinics and helped encourage me to get back into it to lose the weight I've been wanting to lose so bad and get me back to my goal of 160lbs, in preparation of my upcoming wedding in 3 months!!! I've been at it for 3 weeks now and (my next weigh in is tomorrow) so far I've lost 10lbs and 8inches overall. I've lost 2% of my body weight already, not including what I find out I've lost tomorrow :)

I've slowly gained weight over the last 10 years. I have tried a few other diets with little or no success, so I was a little skeptical about Ideal Protein. I'm finding this diet very easy to follow and am so excited for my journey. Glad I found this website!

My son and I are on the Ideal Protein diet and we are needing new ideas for our food. So far I have lost 18 lbs and he has lost 16 lbs.

I have been following the Ideal Protein diet for about a month now and have lost 11.5 lbs so far ( hope to get down 25 lbs in total) I am very excitied to have found this recipe site because I have to admit I have gotten into a bit of a rut as far as my meals go lately. I hope that all these lovely (and hopefully tasty) recipes will help me get the rest of the way to my goal!

I have struggled with my weight since my mid twenties. I turned 50 and decided to get control of my weight. I have been on the Ideal Protein diet for a week and a half and I am really happy with it. I have not been hungry and feel really good.

Update since this post I have lost 65 pounds on Ideal Protein. I took the summer off and on back on to hopefully lose 35 more :-)

Ideal Protein

I'm 47 and my husband and I started on the Ideal Protein plan on August 23. Between the 2 of us we have lost 55 lbs. He is on Phase 3 and I have 4 more lbs to go. This has been the easiest plan we've ever followed but it also helps to have someone doing it with you! We feel great and keep saying "we're never going back to the way we were before!"

I have been big all my adult life, and most of my teenage years. Tried lots of times to lose weight but nothing seemed to work. Ideal Protein is workng fir me and I'm so happy!

I started this diet 4 months ago and I was 176 lbs. Now I am almost done with phase 1 and lost 40 lbs. I am 136 lbs right now. I want to lose another 3 lbs to be 133 lbs and I am done with the Phase 1. Hello to Phase 2.

i have been following phase 1 on the ideal protein program in a month i have lost 23 lbs. it has been has been hard i have always had weight issues and i still have aways to go.

I just want to be able to wear my wedding band again, to do that I need to get a good bit smaller. Imam the mother of 4 grown children and grand mother of 4 grand babies.

Throughout my adult life I have struggled with my weight as it slowly crept up through the years being exasperated by pregnancies, stressful career, and stressful family life. As a wife and mother I have put myself on the back burner trying to take care of the needs of other family members. The additional weight just added to my inherited health problems - high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis, osteoporosis and depression. I have tried weight watchers, American diabetes diet, exercise as well as others. All have worked to a point but really didn't help me keep the weight off. Time seemed to always be an issue. Ideal Protein is easy and works to get the weight off and then learning how to keep it off. Ideal Protein keeps me from being hungry and actually takes away the desire for carbs. My mind set has changed to the point that food has become necessary for health purposes but not a reward system. As the weight came off I began to feel better physically and mentally. I would continue to remind myself of that feeling when I was tempted to eat restricted food.
I have learned and now understand that caring for yourself is the same and just as important as caring for those around you.
