Current Weight:140.9 lbs
I have been overweight most of my life. I decided that I was going to take control of my life by making healthy choices, losing this weight and keeping it off. I am determined to keep it off this time. I have been able to lose weight on other diets but never went through maintenance, so that's where I have failed. This time I am going to do it; control and determination! A friend of mine that I used to work with is on the Ideal Protein protocol. I saw the amazing results she was having, so I called her and said that I was interested and wanted to try it. She set me up to go to a workshop, I liked what I heard, and I joined. Now I am at my goal weight and about to go into Phase 3. I do have to say, I am SCARED! I know how easy it is to put the weight back on. I feel the best now that I have lost 52 pounds.
"I am proud that I committed myself to this amazing weight loss protocol. I am anxious to see how my A1C has improved next month at my check up since my 52 lb weight loss. I completed my journal daily which helped me stay on track and compliant. This helped me know what I can eat next and have a plan. I feel wonderful. It feels good to hear others say, "You look amazing, great job of losing the weight." Ideal Protein is an amazing diet! I would recommend it to anyone. "
Lifestyle Building - Losing the weight
For me, it has been the easiest program to follow, with amazing and fast results. I love all the amazing foods I have been introduced to. Thank you to Janeva for her amazing cookbook. It has been a big help when trying new foods with her recipes. I go back to some of my favorites often and will continue to use them.
Lifestyle Living - Keeping the weight off
Since losing the weight, I go to Curves/Women's Total Fitness five days a week and I walk my dog up to 26 blocks a day. I love going to the Minnesota Twins Baseball games. We walk around the whole stadium, sometimes all three levels.
