I had my 5th weigh in today and was down 2# for a total of 19# in January! I am trying to be happy with the 2# even though it was my smallest loss to date.
I do have a question. I have been having some lower abdominal cramping lately and also bloating. My coach suggested the probiotics that the clinic sells. Has anyone ever tried them or have any other suggestions for me.
Thanks so much for everyone on here!

Congrats on 19lbs so far this month, that's a great number to lose in such a short period of time. It's perfectly normal for the numbers to slow down and then speed up again - it happens to all of us! Don't let it bother you at all.
Probiotics and the digestive enzymes are excellent supplements to have. I have suffered with gas and bloating all my life, until I started taking supplements with IP.
The enzymes will help break down all the protein and complex carbs in the IP diet, and the probiotics will help keep you "regular". For me, they are worth every cent spent on them, but you don't have to use the IP ones. There are cheaper, better alternatives available. Take a look in Vitamin Shoppe (or any other good pharmacy) and you'll see lots to choose from.
Personally, I like the Ultimate Flora probiotics and the Omegazymes.
