I have struggled with weight issues since I was 11 years old, at which time my doctor put me on a 500 calorie per day diet. Not healthy for a growing child and the struggle continued for many years. I have been on several weight loss programs over the past 40+ years and have always gained back or reached a plateau and just gave up. On April 27, 2013, I began the Ideal Protein program and have dropped almost 100 pounds to date. I do not use the word "lost" as I have no intention of finding them again!! Over the past year, we have taken several trips including a 7 week trip to South Africa. With the tips and tricks that I have learned about what works for me, I have managed to easily stick to the program. My goal target date is April 27, 2014. Thanks to all who have posted recipes onto this site. I also have enjoyed experimenting with posted recipes as well as creating my own. I Iook forward to sharing these in the coming weeks. I never thought that I would say this but weight loss CAN be an enjoyable experience. I also know that the recipes, tips and tricks that I have been using will be something that I will be able to enjoy once my goal is reached and I endeavour to maintain my weight for the rest of my life.
