Hi all - I just finished my third week of IP and I have been super excited and committed. The first week I lost 7 pounds the second week just under 2 and this third week I lost nothing. :/ I am 24 years old and my coach said I should be losing more than this. We will be reviewing a food diary in a week together, but I thought I would check here for support.
I pretty much eat the same thing day in and out. For breakfast I have the cappuccino shake, and either tea or coffee I switch. For lunch I have a salad of mixed greens with fresh mushrooms and the waldenfarms caesar dressing, 2 cups of steamed broccoli or asparagus or cooked and seasoned mushrooms or a combination of them, and the vanilla shake. For dinner I have the same salad as lunch, and either have 3 eggs scrambled with onions plus one of the veggies listed in lunch or I have tofu stirfry with onions and peppers and mushrooms and cauliflower. At the end of dinner I have my protein bar. I really have not cheated while on it, even over thanksgiving which was difficult. I did this past week have one vodka soda drink, which I know is discouraged but it was my only indiscretion.
Can anybody offer any support or suggestions. I am starting to get very disheartened especially since this is so expensive and I am trying very hard.
