Hello, I started IP on Jan 7, 2014. I am 54yrs old, 5'4" & weighed in at 210lbs.
On Aug 15, 2012 I horrifically broke my left ankle. It was so bad, I almost lost it. All from 1 step! I missed the bottom step at home. I also sprained my right ankle & left wrist. 4 surgeries, 6 months in a wheelchair & endless hours in rehab. My ankle will never be completely healed. It's still broken to this day.
We have determined that one of the reasons it was so horrific was because of my weight. I have tried WW, NutraSystem, Adkins & nutritionist in the past. Nothing worked very well or not at all. So when my Dr told me about IP I figured I give it a try. My husband is doing it with me & lost 60lbs in 3 months! He's now on maintenance. As for me, I've lost 50lbs in 5 1/2 months. I cheat a couple of times but have recommitted myself to loose another 40lbs, which will give me some wiggle room. I no longer need to take omeprazole or hydroclrithizide & I bet my triglycerides are normal. Can't wait till my Primary Care Dr sees me! Wish me luck!
