I see a lot of posts that mention going off the plan for a day and talking to your coach about it. At the center I go to they have a rule that if you cheat you are kicked off the program, has anyone heard of this? Just wondering if that should be a red flag or a good thing?
I understand a clinic wanting us to understand the negative effects of a cheat on this diet but seriously? We are paying customers. A cheat sets us back. It would on,y make me lie in my journal and to them if I didn't lose and then they wouldn't be able to coach me about my mistakes. I do understand if they were to say you are off program if you drink alcohol because there is higher risk and should someone get really sick it could look bad on the program.
Maybe that is their argument for cheating too? Your lack of weight loss will make their stats look bad!!
I have been doing IP (using alternatives) for 3 weeks, and I have lost 10 lbs so far. I did a lot of reading & research on this site before I started. I thought this was a great forum for moral support, and I think I should be able to post my opinions and ideas freely like everyone else.
Recently, however, I feel like one member is attacking everything I post. It's really frustrating, because it makes me not want to keep being a member on here.
Has anyone else felt like another member was responding negatively to everything you posted? I am just wondering if it's something personal against me... although I don't know what I ever did to deserve the treatment I'm receiving.
After watching the TV spot I do think the camera adds pounds. The hosts are teeny tiny, but do not look that way on TV. I looked heavier than the still shot I took, although not terrible(I am wearing size 3 pants and the host had to be a 0). I look at that and think how terribly thin the biggest loser girl must have been since the camera adds weight.
How many hours apart is everyone eating? Typically I eat breakfast at 8:30, lunch at 12, snack at 4, then dinner around 7. Debating on whether it would be beneficial to alternate my dinner and snack times to stay exactly on how IP protocol is laid out (with having dinner b4 your snack)...thoughts?

I haven't noticed that happening in any of the threads I have been reading. I think you need to respond to the person directly so they know.
Yes, you're probably right... I just didn't expect to experience this kind of thing on this forum... everyone else has been extremely helpful and supportive though!
