wow - lots of movement & pounds lost on this board - keep it up!!
doxigirl: I really liked your "IP product cost per pound lost" portion of your signature... sure is an eye opener to put it like this!
TaylorMayde: peppermint tea is fabulous for the tummy (great suggestion, Stacey41). I find it also helps to eat real food with a package... try having a couple pieces of cucumber or something before you have your package... and have your supplements before your package, as well.
Erin: Congrats on hitting the 160's!!! (sorry for being late.. just noticed)
For those of you keeping track (hah), I've been off the IP program for the last month trying to deal with my stomach problems.... problem being that my stomach HURT after every package.
My coach did come through with a fabulous remedy: go off all IP products/protein shakes/supplements for 3-4 days and eat normal, but don't go hungry. During this time, take 1tsp of Oregon Grape Extract 5 times per day (this has a high percentage of alcohol in it, so you probably shouldn't take it while on IP).
So, here I am on day 2 of "IP take 2" without any stomach pain (knock wood). Just thought I would share for those of you experiencing discomfort.
