Hey all.
Starting IP again. Any word from the wise as to how to not go off course? I almost blew it tonight but pulled out of it.
I check in with my coach this weekend. Need to restock the supplies - this will help me stay on track.

Anybody else have this happen to them??

Shelby you poor thing..lol. Sorry for the laugh but it is kinda funny. I'm glad I cannot relate to this though.

Identify your trigger. Are you craving something sweet? Fix it by having a restricted at that particular hour when you feel "vulnerable" to temptation. Switch your meal times around until you find a version that works for YOU. Nobody said you have to have four meals at a prescribed hour of the day. If you want your dinner at breakfast time and that suits your eating habits, go for it!

Does it happen at the same time every day? Build a new routine around that timeline - something that won't allow you to be near food that tempts you.

Hi Carmie48 - I too am in reboot mode. I started yet again, last Saturday. I have about 30lbs to lose. Hmm... A word to the wise as how not to go off course..?? That's a toughy. I think it's important to re-commit once you are completely ready and honest with yourself. It's at that point that your will-power kicks in and you find the strength to persevere.

Let's keep checking in with one another, if you'd like. It's especially important to arm yourself with IP foods that you like, the oatmeal is really good and it is unrestricted. And then, it's important to find a restricted that you really like too. Not sure what it's like where you are but where I live, they no longer sell individual pkts due to laws that don't allow products to be sold without dietary info on the back. IP is hoping to get the nutrition content printed on the backs of their packets by the end of 2016. That's a long way off.. So anyway, it's important to find a restricted that you like and stick to it.. Brownie? Cookie dough bar? etc. etc..

Best of luck to you and know we're here for ya.

Hi Briael - great advice, very creative too. That's an important one to remember, that we can mix things up throughout the day. I get so used to a regimen so it's nice to read something like this and remember that it's okay to mix things up! Talk soon!

Nooo, luckily I have not had that problem...There are times that I do feel gassy, and I burp several times, but I can control them, they don't "escape" like yours did and they don't stink And who were you talking with when this embarrassing incident happened?

Tolerating fear of regain is something we all must conquer in maintenance. Personally, I began losing more quickly once I started phasing out. I have lost on P4 and am now tweaking to find right mix of calories/micronutrients ratios and exercise. I still go up and down 4 lbs based on free days, TOM, sickness, etc. Seeing the constant up and downs gets easier because I see the patterns and know how to correct it should I get out of my "safe zone" range.

I do feel the fitness is important! Quick weight loss was great to get me motivated and put me back into a mode to exercise. I used to be a fit active person but when I got heavy I obviously pulled back. I'm not worried about the daily 4-5lbs but I promised myself that anything over 10 and I'd get back to the diet, but ten happens so quickly. I have tried some experimenting I'm going to have to get back on for a couple weeks and then try phasing off from P2... gonna have to happen I suppose.

Thank goodness it was my dad!!! That was the first one that escaped me like that... Usually I can feel it coming on. Broccoli seems to do it the most
