Good Morning Everyone!
I had my weigh in Tuesday and according to her scale, I am up(+) one pound. I am not too discouraged, because I KNOW in my heart that I have been following the protocol and not cheated, not even once! I just feel like I am on a plateau...hopefully it will drop soon in large quantities lol. My coach seemed concerned, though. She suggested I eat my protein for lunch and do my packet for dinner. That is a non-negotiable for me though, because I cook for the family or eat out for dinner and I have only access to a microwave while I am at work for lunch.
The last week has been busy and I have been staying out late and drinking club sodas (those are calorie-free right?) with lime. She said it was better to have my third packet when I get home (10 p.m.) rather than not have it. I am wondering if those late night snacks are limiting my weight loss. What do you all think?
Thanks for your help!!!!

dana135- I think you should just stick to what you've been (assuming you are eating all 3 IP foods, 4 cups veggies, oil & protein.)

It's too soon to say it's a stall or something is wrong. That gain could be water or maybe issues with the big C. Not sure if that is a problem for you. Sometimes it's just our bodies adjusting after losing so much in such a short amount of time.
