“About 3 months after the birth of my first baby, I was 10 pounds above my pre-baby weight. I wasn't too discouraged as everyone told me the pounds would melt away from nursing. This was not true for me. I nursed for a full year, but kept the extra 10 pounds. By the time I got pregnant with my second baby, I was still 10 pounds overweight and dissatisfied for sure. Baby number two added an additional 8 pounds. Almost 18 months after my second baby, I was up 18 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. I thought I hid the weight well, and was fooling everyone, but deep down, I knew I was lying to myself.
I started the I-deal weight loss program in October. I enjoyed eating organic and whole foods. I started preparing healthier meals for my family and hope to establish healthy eating habits for my children. The first part of the program was so much fun for me. I began to crave whole foods, fruits, and even vegetables. I had the knowledge I needed to make healthy choices and was empowered to do so. I experimented with new recipes and modified old ones. I didn't feel the least bit deprived and started to lose my cravings for sweets and, my old addiction, chocolate. In the first week, I lost 4 pounds. The results were very encouraging for me. By week six my total weight loss was 11 pounds.
During the HCG portion of the program I lost an additional 7 pounds bringing my total weight loss to 18 pounds. I should also mention that my HCG program started on Thanksgiving and went through Christmas. Even with all the goodies and parties I still managed to lose weight on this program. I was finally back to my pre-baby weight. It was exhilarating to see numbers on the scale that I had not seen in over 5 years! In fact, I was able to squeeze in to some of my old pre-pregnancy jeans that were stashed away in the basement. I won't tell you that it was easy. It took careful planning, time, energy, and willpower to achieve this. But, I had my awesome mentor Lisa to lean on and she was always there to answer any questions I had and to provide much needed encouragement!
I plan to lose 5 additional pounds and know I can do this thanks to the things I have learned on the program. The great thing about the I-deal weight loss program is the educational aspect of the program. I know that with the skills I have learned I can maintain my weight loss. The I-deal weight loss program also addresses emotional and mental struggles with overeating as well. With the tools and instruction provided I have not only improved my physical appearance, but have discovered an overall more positive outlook on life that has improved all aspects of my life. This program has been one of the best things to happen to me, and my family, and I will recommend it to anyone who is ready to make some permanent positive changes.”
