Happy Wednesday everyone!
I have my WI later today at luncthime. My weight is up a teeny bit from the weekend but I don't know why, so I am expecting a 2 lb loss today. That would put me at 151 lbs on my Coach's scale... 1 lb off of phase II... what would you do? Just go to phase II or wait another week?

I haven't lost much weight this week, so I don't want to make it worse!

I am not sure what the right thing to do is but these are the two options that
I would be considering if I were in that position:
1) If possible, go to Costco or Walmart and try to find something similar (Supreme Protein shakes? Protein powder? Protidiet?) until you can get more IP packets; or
2) I would do something like this until I could get more packets: 1 whole egg with 2 egg whites made into an omelet with veggies for breakfast; protein, salad and veggies for lunch; protein and veggies for dinner; and the restricted for evening snack.
Good luck!
From Newpair:I have been having a really hard time getting all of my supplements in... anyone else having this problem? I just forget to. I work ten hour days at work so putting my bottles out where I can see them is not an option. I tried putting a reminder on my phone but by time I see it, it is 3pm already.. Any suggestions would be wonderful!
When I prepare my lunch in the morning, I also prepare all of the supplements that I am going to need in a day in a ziplock baggie (my preference is for the little ones that are used for snacks) and I place the baggie in my lunch bag with my food and IP packets. This way, when I reach for something to eat, I also see the supplements.
I also always carry around an "IP Emergency Kit" in my purse, which is a ziplock baggie containing:
- 1 days worth of supplements;
- 1 Floralax (as I sometimes need this);
- 1 individual packet of WF Italian dressing;
- A few packets of Stevia (or you could use Splenda if you prefer);
- An IP bar (or if I don't have any, it may sometimes be replaced with a Pure Protein bar until I can get more IP ones)
I hope this helps!
