YAY for you Adrean that is so AWESOME! You should be super proud of yourself!


HELP
On another note I posted pictures of my weight loss so far and I can't figure out how to attach the thingy(link?) to my profile can anyone help me figure this out?

Am having another no energy day. I'm continually surprised by all the people who say they have more energy than before! I can barely lift my arms, can barely trudge from one room to the next. This is my fourth week, am following the protocol (sometimes have some additional protein - tuna or hamburger patty) have had nothing off the diet, get in all my veggies ( I eat them mostly raw) all my supplements and all my water. I just don't get it, I'm always tired. Today I can barely breathe.
My coach is very little help - just tells me that she can "jog 4 miles a day now for the first time in her life!"
Thoughts anyone?

You could just copy and paste the link into your signature. Or, set up a hyperlink (you know, where you click on the text and it takes you to your link) and put that in your signature...

WI #5 for me today and I was down 2 lbs I'll take it. Considering I was off protocol Sat and Sun.

Get this.....My coach (non coach) actually started to get stern with me about being off protocol on Sat and Sun. I told her that I went right back on Monday when I got home, I don't know why I felt the need but I explained the circumstances of the weekend (travel and funeral) and she said "well do you think you are going to be able to stay on now" I said well I just told you I started back up right away and she said "well is there anything scheduled in your future that would prevent you from staying on program". That's when I lost it, I told her not to judge me, I did the best I could under the circumstances and I started right back up when I got home, the look on my face and the tone in my voice told her she better back off me.

Talk about disappointment, she doesn't encourage me when I'm doing great but she can belittle me when I don't.

Oh and I asked her 3 questions today that I knew the answer to but asked anyway....so when she didn't know (which I knew she wouldn't) I answered them...OH was that mean???

esammy12 I totally understand your situation!!!!!!

The main reason I stay where I am is because I can buy individual packets and it's close to home.

Sorry to be so long winded!!

You have to LOVE the feeling of going shopping and buying a smaller size! Keep it up!

I think the best advice I received when I started on this site was READ, READ, READ!!

17 in a month is AWESOME! Great Job!


5 pounds is FANTASTIC!!



Its been a crazy week, but I am still 100% IP! (except for the one hersey's chocolate kiss) I finally met my 20 pound mark!!!!!!!! YAY!!! I was starting to think it was never going to come!

So many great losses ! Congratulations everyone. have a wonderful night

Hi all. Weigh in today with my new coach, she is awesome. I am down another 2 lbs. I am happy about that, so 21 lbs in total and on week 5. Enjoy your evening everyone.

I have been on Ip since last May and on this forum Since Aug. I read for a while after I found the forum before I started posting. Most of you know I have talked pretty straight with those who seem to be playing around (for their own good). I feel you are serious about this program and doing a good job, but sometimes things in life cause us to have to make a slight adjustment. A funeral is never easy, even when we are not dieting. Sounds like your coach made several bad choices in her words. Her words were fighting words, her questions would make anyone coward down or come to your own defense. We don't know what is in our future, all we can do is make a decision and do all we can to stick to it. I'm glad you stood up for yourself. Keep your head up, stay on protocol, reach your goal and the time will come that you will go on with your life without that coach. Judy

[QUOTE=Mrs Diettrich;3715376]6 pounds! SIX FREAKING POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!! Woooooooottttttttt!


RIGHT ON!!! CONGRATULATINS:car rot: one for each pound you lost.

Thank you petitendcute for you kind words...I am serious about this program I am doing it for me and I plan to get to my goal.

Congratulations to you for reaching your goal!!!

Today I didn't do a lot of cardio but I did go for a walk with my wife. Nothing to strenuous. Today I followed everything pretty close except for lunch I added 3 oz of grilled chicken and a tbs of boiled eggs to my salad. For dinner I ate a small flank steak with mushrooms and squash. I had 2 chocolate shakes and 1 butterscotch pudding. My energy in the afternoon is down a little bit but I know that it is part of getting use to not having carbs at first. I just have extremely busy lifestyle which is good bc I don't think about food as much but some times I need the extra energy and its not there. I know the weightloss will out way not having energy in the end. Thank you guys for all of your support, stories, recipes, and suggestions.

Geez, I just would of never thought this protocol would work so great. I was desperate when I started, considering lap band surgery and everything. Today was WI #7, and down another 6lbs. 40lbs since 12/29! I'm almost skeptical whether this is right. ha ha!

I did make some adjustments last week, which I think helped. I cooked a lot at home instead of going to a stir fry bar, the Mongolian Grill. I also had sea bass and some salmon. I made a crock pot with turnips, peppers and pork tenderloin which was really good.

Next week will be a challenge, because I'm traveling on vacation. I alerted the friend I'm visiting that I'll be on a special food program and will need to shop for groceries. I bought extra packets to get me through that week. I'm a little concerned about Saturday, because I'm flying most of the day from Seattle to Atlanta.

I'm also glad to know they finally solved this pepper dilemma. My coach told me all bell peppers are approved for phase I. Green, Red, Orange, Yellow, all of them!
