I lose the weight while on the diet, but have a hard time keeping it off when I go to maintenance.

I followed a low carb lifestyle throughout high school, college and my early twenties. When I had my first 2 children less than a year apart, I gained a lot of weight. At that time the push was for low fat diets, so that's what I did to try to loose the "baby weight". I couldn't understand why I kept gaining weight until I found myself 75 pounds overweight! I am now committed to staying on a very low carb diet to loose weight and stay that way.

Trying to get off the weight I've put on in "middle age."

Just trying to loose weight and keep it off

Its time to lose weight and I'm ready to do this.

I am looking for a healthier lifestyle by changing my diet and incorporating new healthier recipes.

I have been on the Ideal Protein protocol for four months and I am loving it! Always looking fo rnew things to try that fit in! I have so much more energy and just feel better all the way around (which is less way around than four months ago!). thanks!

Just beginning this program, looking forward to doing the program

Just started the Ideal Protein diet so am looking for recipes

I'm 44 yrs old and I've been on the program for 6 weeks. I'm down 19.7lbs and 14 inches. I feel fabulous!!
I want to lose another 30 lbs so I need to keep finding new recipes so I can stick to this. I like variety and cannot just eat the same thing all the time. Thanks for letting me join your group!!

I've been struggling with losing weight since I hit my 40's, and now at 47 it's been almost futile. My new year's resolution was to lose 30 lbs. so I started by watching my portions and trying to eat more healthy and working out. Jan - May I lost a total of 7 lbs....not even 1 lb / month! UUURRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
A few co-workers told me about the Ideal Protein diet and I thought I have nothing to lose. So, I signed up and a then Bam! The weight has started to melt off!!! My goal weight is now only 10 lbs away and I need to find a way to keep it going while eating healthy, and I stress YUMMY, recipes to add to my arsenal.

On IP for about 15 weeks now and down 60 pounds. Still have a ways to go.

I'm starting IP diet this week, hoping to lose about 15 lbs.

When I started by IP journey September 5, 2012 I never in a million years thought that a) I'd lose the weight as quickly as I did and b) that I'd keep it off for a whole year! I'd done other diets and I did lose weight and almost immediately after I'd gain it all back...and more.
On September 5th, 2012 I weighed 183 lbs. On December 19th when I had completed Phase 3 I had lost 53 lbs and 47.5" - yes that's right almost 4 feet of me - GONE!
It's October 10, 2013 today and I'm doing IP for a couple weeks - summertime deck drinks did get the better of me and I gained 10 lbs. But as my IP coach says - it's easier to take off 10 lbs than 50!
So good luck to you all...the diet phase of IP may seem extreme, but I assure you - it's worth it in the end!
