I commend those who have stuck with this for such a long time.... I don't even want to know what I have spent on this diet either... I think I need to stick to the protocol and find alternative products. Very much appreciated ladies... your comments are very comforting.
Any one else struggling with the mental part of losing wieght so quickly and how that has changed your life?

I think that psychologically I have not caught up to my weight loss. I started in a 22-24 and the other day I bought a size 10, but I am afraid to go try on other clothes in a size 10, just in case it was a fluke. For the last three weeks I have been losing only 2 lbs. per week. I will eventually get there at this rate and maybe it is better for my "head", but I am human and just want to keep flying through this. What I find the most amazing is that people really do treat me differently than before. I am a professional and I always thought that most people treated me with respect for my expertise, etc. It is different now. People do treat me differently, they respond more positively. I can't say it in words, but it is there.
I used IP products for the first three months and switched to alternative products that were a protein isolate. It did not change my weight lose and actually was better for me because it limited my choices and I just knew what my protein would be.
Good luck - I hope that the journey continues peacefully and beautifully.
