[quote=Anonymous]OP here with a weigh in update.

So, things really didn't go as well as I'd planned. I only lost about 3 pounds, so a little over a pound a week. I found that very discouraging as I didn't cheat or let a drop of non protocol food pass my lips in 12 days, and was expecting a much bigger loss--particularly in that first weigh in, and was hoping it would give me an extra push.

My coach pored over every page in my journal and tried to see where I went wrong. I suspect she thinks I wasn't honest about my journaling--she didn't say so of course--but you could just tell, and it made me feel ridiculously terrible about myself. 
So instead she just gave me suggestions on little things she saw--she wants me to use regular half and half instead of lowfat, grapeseed oil instead of avocado oil, etc. I asked her if I should cut back on restricted packs, and she said absolutely not, and that I'm only eating about 3 per week on average as it is.

So idk. I feel bad and Im spending all of this money to lose a pound a week and it's pretty discouraging. My husband pointed out to me that for the past year, I've been losing a pound a MONTH, so this is a big weight loss for me, but it really doesn't feel like it when most people are boasting 5-8 pounds in one week.

If I were eating a regular 1200 calorie per day diet and losing 1.5 pounds a week I would consider that a triumph. But eating a super restrictive 800 calorie per day diet that is so fragile that even the slightest hiccup can derail all of your progress seems like a failure to me.

Anyway. I came home and pushed through. Still eating on protocol faithfully. Found out that celery root is an absolutely amazing vegetable and I think I like it better than both cauliflower and turnip.[/quote]
