Default Changing Coaches
Well it looks like Im going to have to change coaches!
I am 11 weeks into the program and loving it!! I have always had my doubts about my coach and her knowledge of the IP program, she rarely ever had any information for me or answers to my questions. Everything I know about the program I learned for this forum!! THANKS GUYS...I love yall!!
Well starting about 4-5 weeks ago she began to cancel my weigh-ins, or move them forward...right now I am 12 days between weigh-ins!! I was running out of food...going days in between with NONE!! When I mentioned not having my 3 pkts a day...namely the jelly snack in the evening she said...." well it really doesn't matter...you will be FINE!! They are only really needed so your body doesn't break down muscle anyway!!!! WHAT!!!! REALLY!!!!!
100.00 a week and the food IS NOT NECESSARY for IP to WORK!!!
Well...I called around and found a clinic about 60 miles away and they aren't gonna charge me a new pt fee or anything so here goes.... I'm not gonna let this stop me!!

Wow... well she seems like she is only in it for one thing $$$$$.

It is quite a drive but I hope you find better knowledge with your new coach and good job for not letting it get you down or you giving up!! Keep up the great work sweetie!

I am not very happy with my coach. I just go and WI and pick up food. No real advice or anything. If it wasn't for this forum I would not know anything.

Wow, that coach sounds like an idiot. I'd report her to HQ or have your new doctor do that. She shouldn't be allowed to do the program!

If the 60 mile drive is to much don't forget about idealtogo.com. They could help you out.

Good for you for not letting this discourage you or turn you off IP! I wonder if there is somewhere that bad coaches can be reported. People like that can turn off clients who are looking for help. You would think that whoever is in charge of the IP program would want to know.

Good for you for remaining determined to continue on the program! But, 60 miles is far, have you considered Ideal To Go? Then you could order your IP products for home delivery.

I have the same situation with my "coach" she is just someone who has been successful on the program. When I asked about different flavor bars or other restricted she told me 'I don't know I have never had any of the restricted." WOW that was helpful.....not. I ask about recipes etc she looks like a deer in the headlights. I give HER recipes that I learn about from here. All of you are my coaches and I appreciate you all!
Good luck wow long drive for you. That is determination.

I think if I got a coach who was an idiot I would change in a heart beat. Not at what they charge!

Good for you for changing coaches. That is not helpful at all. You deserve a much better coach than that and I hope you are able to find that support.

My coach is a hard you-know-what. yeeesh! She's a stickler for the program, which is nice TBH. Especially since I'm just starting. She has been on the program herself for over a year and lost a ton, so she's got really great advice and helpful tips.
Best of luck to you in your search for a good coach!
