Only 1 lb loss 2nd WI?? Did I do something wrong?
OK, another newbie panic here:
Had my second WI on Monday. I have only lost 1 lb. I'm pretty frustrated because I was very spoiled by having a 10 lb loss my first WI. Is this normal? I have not eaten anything but IP foods. I didn't even eat the restricted bars that my coach says she gives to everyone (because I learned from you all that there should be no restricteds the first 3 weeks.) I am wondering if it's due to the skewed schedule at work, where I had waited to eat almost 8 hrs and then taking melatonin to sleep, AND THEN using way too much Torani sugar free (splenda flavored) flavoring in my 2 cups of coffee. Maybe not enough water? I'm racking my brain. I had hoped for at least 3 lbs. This week I am not using any coffee flavoring, not eating the Listerine cinnamon papers for breath freshening, eating my meals ON SCHEDULE and measuring the 2 cups of veggies per meal plus lots of salad, and having at least 100oz of water and no more then 1 cup of coffee a day with only the 1 oz FF milk and 1 splenda. I'd also love to start exercising again, any tips? Any tips AT ALL to continue the weight loss would be great. I totally believe in IP, have seen it work on so many friends, and feel so much smaller in just 2 weeks. Just want to keep it going. Thanks so much. :o |

WI #1 i lost 9 lbs. WI #2 i lost only 1 pound :( I have heard this is normal and Week 3 normally is a better number. I will let you know, becasue i have WI # 3 tonight!!!! I am soooooo hoping for a better number! 3 lbs would be gorgeous!!! have a great day! |
I tend to not focus on the weight I lose each week, but the overall weight I've lost. You could be retaining water, need a bowel movement, or several other things. Tomorrow you could be down 3 lbs.
You've put up some pretty good suggestions on things you need to watch for. Just keep doing the plan it will come off. There are too many people here that have succeeded for you not to succeed as well. I had a lot of doubts in the beginning thinking I would be the exception to the rule. But I've stuck to the plan and miraculously the weight is coming off. So just keep doing what your doing... no exercise until after week 3 :) Also there is a thread on exercise I would read through that for some ideas. Good job on the 11lb weight loss in 2 weeks! |
I am a bit overwhelmed and confused about the recipe thread
I haven't yet received my food or the DVD that tells me what to do. But I did want to start looking at recipes and getting ideas. It keeps referring to Matol stuff and then it refers to Ideal Protein stuff. What is the Matol? Where do I get it? Is it less expensive, healthier, tastier than the IP stuff I have on order?
Also, I am really confused about where I should be posting these types of questions (I think not here...since this is really only for newbies and not for experts to answer newby questions haha.) Thanks in advance and I will try to follow the proper procedures in the future once I figure it out. :) |

Hello everyone,
I just started IP on Jan.7, I am experiencing nausea since 2 days, this morning I also vomitted, is this normal? I felt great this weekend, maybe my body is just reacting to the drastic change. Also do you have great recipes to share for breakfast, that is the hardest part. thanks a lot in advance. Emily |

Nausea....I was the queen of this, until I figured out just when I should take my supplements. I think the iron was killing me! Lol! I now know that I have to take the heavy duty pills on a full stomach...not before. Other than that, I don't know what could have caused the vomiting...unless you are allergic/sensitive to something....I think it was Carla who mentioned that she found out she was aspartame intolerant when she began this lifestyle. |

If you called Ideal Protein's head office or regional manager, call them again and let them know what's happened, i.e. no response. You could ask them to call on your behalf to make an appointment or even [gasp] conference call the clinic right then and there! It's not good for the company to have distributors ignoring customers who WANT the products & service. :?: How do you run a business by turning away customers with "cash in hand"? :?: If you used the website, you can trick it to get the names & numbers of more distributors. I did :D Here's 3 different ways:
