Because my 'rolls' are shifting, I had no inches lost, yet am in New jeans smaller size!!I was feeling good about myself when I walked in, and left feeling embarrassed + ashamed.
Coastalcrafter: That is just not OK, that's not coaching that's bashing. We'll just have to be your cheerleaders here! I mean your not playing football for heaven sakes! Hang in there!!!

Ok so I have a question: I have a friend who has been on ww for many years lost 178 pounds, yep that is right. Anyhow we don't talk much anymore and she works at my bank, the other night I heard from her via text she said how do you like the protein diet, now I have not said anything to anyone I wanted to be on it a month first to see how I like it! I asked how she knew she replied oh word gets around, I said No my coach wouldn't say a word the meeting is private 1 on 1. So I went to my bank website and seen where my check was cashed and yes it was at my bank that holds my personal account. I am not pleased about that, she bashed the program constant until I finally told her I was busy and liked the program. Anyhow I really feel my privacy was violated.
Sheila: Wow, that had to be frustrating. Really both people broke confidentiality as bank personal also have VERY strict rules about that and can be fired for sharing information. I live in a small town and my bank teller had told her sister that my 18 year old son didn't even know how to balance his checking account. She mentioned this to me, I told her he has dyslexia and I was really angry. I went in and spoke to her and the bank manager about it. If I'd taken it higher she likely would have been fired, but we all know each other here so that would have been uncomfortable. Sorry that happened to you, I hope you feel you can talk to your coach about it. They have no right to do that. In my little town here our coach is VERY careful, she knows how personal weight loss is.Originally Posted by sheila1971

Well all, on a "lighter" note ... I weighed in this morning for the Halloween challenge and was down to 296, that's 9 pounds lost this week and 19 pounds total lost in the last 2 weeks! I am just amazed at how well IP works. I'm sure I'll slow down here on the weight-loss, but as a larger person I'm hoping I don't slow down to much! I've been a little grumpy, mainly I think from just adjusting to not having the foods I want to still (the pouty child in me). Thanks Jackie for sharing some coping ideas with me; it helps to have another sister out there that knows how far the goal can feel when your this heavy!
Question: Are there any of you that have lost a lot of weight that can share what happens with the extra skin? I'm wondering how that will work out for me.
Have a great IP day everyone!
