Thanks BevS so much,
What other products of theirs have you used safely (i.e. did not stop losing weight?). Would my rep/coach allow for products to be bought outside of her control? I mean they make a living out of this, don't they? I was speaking with this coach and asking questions from her about IP. By the middle of the conversaion, we figured out that it would take me an hour or more each way to go for weigh-ins and she was nice enough to give me the name of another coach closer to me (hence only the name and not the number) and she quickly said she had to hang up. Not that I blame her, she found out I had no economic usefulness for her and stopped caring. Now, a good rep would continue to help (especially since I was uncomfortable by then as well and wanted to not take any more of her time either) and I could have referred to her other friends living close to her. Some of us never learn. Do you guys miss fruits? I have to go out of town tomorrow but am planning on seeing this other coach sometimes next week. Should I try reading the attached info on the sticky and buy from Lindora first? BTW, does the soy from health food market have as much protein? I have in the past bought soy chips from them but it didn't have a lot of protein in it. PQ |

7 of something sucky is a lot. I pick 21 of whatever I want, they obviously have to break the boxes to do that for me. Trust me, rest of the stuff is yummy...almost everything is good except soups AND the pineapple/banana drink. Go the the main IP website and pick whatever you want, write it down and then go them with your exchanges; $4 a pack is too much to throw away and you shouldn't suffer to eat something. |
Hey BevS,
How long have you been on IP? You lost 50 lbs and I know we are all different but was wondering. |

[QUOTE=RedMonkey;3301749]And some follow the protocol to an absolute T and still lose slowly. We are individuals and we must keep that at the top of our minds.
RedMonkey, you started 1 week before me and you're 3 lbs ahead of me, so I guess that makes me a slow loser too... I thought I was doing great. :( Carla - your pictures are amazing!!! You look lovely!! Seeing them helped me stay motivated to stay true to the program! I agree about the pictures being a major motivator! Keep 'em coming everyone. Quote:

funny story:
I have 2 pints of ice cream in the freezer along with some dibbs. Boy friend is away for the weekend and being bored I just wanted to look at the dibbs is all (I swear) so I open the box up, the box is filled up with ice instead of ice cream and a note in there that just says "love you". pretty cute I thought. |

Hey, TX, I used the berry and strawberry creme smoothies, the cheesecake, the custard creme pudding with toffee bits, and the caramel nut bars as a restricted item. I also sometimes made a shake out of whey protein isolate and the Walden Farms chocolate syrup and made crepes using sugar free pancake mix and whey protein isolate that were about 3 1/2 net carbs or something like that. I started the diet on Jan. 5 and reached goal today. The first week I lost 6 1/2 pounds and the second week 3 1/2. After that it got less and less the closer I got to goal, but I never had a week where I didn't lose something, plus I always lost inches. When I started, my measurements were 44-41-44, with the waist measurement around the belly button and I was wearing size 16 in jeans. Today my measurements are 38-29-36 and I'm wearing a size 6 in jeans. I'm really not trying to convince anyone to go with substitutions. I'm just saying I did and it worked for me. I think Ideal Protein is way overpriced and they could do better by their clients. You might try starting out with a coach and go IP all the way and decide how much support you're getting there before you decide to do it on your own or not. I was talking about soy nuts. As far as I know, they have the same amount of protein no matter where you get them. I don't know about the chips as I didn't use them. |
