Ideal Protein - Motivation Badly Needed!!
I started week 2 of Ideal Protein this past Thursday. In week one I lost 10 pounds. Honestly I think MOST of that was due to the decrease in soda intake. When I say I was ADDICTED to Dr. Pepper, it was a REAL addiction. I was having between 6 & 8 a day. My dietitian told me to switch to Diet Dr. Pepper & to have 1 with Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner but not to exceed 3 a day. So far, I'm doing GREAT on that. But since week 2 has started, (4 days ago) I have gotten nowhere. Seems I've gained a pound, but I've been following the protocol (aside from the unlimited lettuce part) Is there such thing as eating meals too close together?? How do I hold on to hope that I can do this?? :(

I think you need a reality check. 10 lbs in the first week is a big loss. You cannot expect this to continue. 1 lb of fat equals to 3500 cal deficit. You are also not extremely overweight, so your future losses will likely not be that significant. 2 lbs rather than 4. You also do not need hope. You need a life style change and the determination to pull it through. Hope is for the weak.

@lolo70 - at first I was offended by your response. But then I got to thinking, you know, she's right. I'm paying someone $100 a week right now to help me lose weight and make changes I could probably make by myself with enough determination to make that lifestyle change. But thing is, I always lose motivation. The only reason I got with this program is for the coaches who basically "make" you obey the rules. I may not be extremely overweight but I am extremely unhappy with how I look.

Come see us in the Ideal Protein thread! You are not the only person who is having trouble! I tried to do ideal protein without a coach and I lasted about one week. You better believe I miss my Pepsi's! I never drank as much soda as you but I bet that's making a huge difference. We are all going to tell you to ditch the diet soda too so prepare for that :wink:
