I don't have a coach because of distance, but I do purchase from a spa that sells the product - when I went yesterday to stock up I mentioned to the owner that I had only lost 1.2lbs this past week and he said "then you are not in Ketosis, if you were in ketosis you would drop 3lbs" - I smiled nicely and told him I was 100% OP and he said that was impossible if I only lost 1.2lbs. I said I would review my journal but what I really wanted to do was punch him right between the eyes. Thanks to this site I know you can be 100% and still not lose 3lbs EVERY week.....arghhh. Sorry I just had to vent. I feel bad for the people not on this site who would let a jerk like this break their spirit.
To all my American friends - Have a wonderful Memorial weekend.
This attitude from "coaches" really gets to me!!
Why are they allowed to sell the products there without a real coach anyway??
When I started IP I had 30 pounds to lose but I had slowly come down from 204 on my own before that.
My weight loss was very slow but at least it kept going in the right direction.
I am noticing that many people on here who started with much more to lose than I did lost quickly at first but really slow down as they get close to goal too. It makes total sense to me that it takes much more energy to move 100 extra pounds around than it would 20 extra pounds.
You have only around 10 more pounds to lose and he expects you to lose 3 a week??
Good for you,not paying attention to him.But even on this board lots of people get really upset with the slightest "set back" when these are all natural consequences of losing weight.
You are doing a fantastic job!! Americans have such a good option with the Ideal to Go when distances are involved. I couldn't believe how far you were traveling when you started to do this; you so deserve your success.
