Tell Us A Little Bit About Your Weight Struggle
While I had always been a chubby child, my weight was never an issue growing up. I wasn’t teased or bullied, and was quite popular throughout school.
I do recall my Pediatrician telling my mother that if I didn't control my weight as a child, I would struggle with being overweight as an adult... boy was she right.
Until now that is!
I hit rock bottom last year weighing 307 pounds, I desperately cried out to God to help me.
In the following 2 weeks, my co worker shared with me a new diet she was trying and encouraged me to join her.
I heard and saw other success stories with IPA and became interested. I researched IPA thoroughly, joined the IPA Facebook page, and never looked back from there.
I am down 85 lbs. in 6 months... no surgery... no diet pills...no extreme exercise...just clean eating... high protein and low carb intake.
