One week down - Time for a Coach Meeting
Met with our Profile coach today. It's been a little less than a week and we inundated him with questions. I will go through some of those in this post and share what we have learned.
My weight has stayed the same as it was yesterday, so that's frustrating. The coach says that he reviewed our progress (remember, all that scale data is synced back into our Profile account) and that we are doing well! The first couple of weeks will show the biggest losses, and then we can expect to see 1-3 lbs. per week depending on how active we are and how well we stick to the plan.
1. Are we eating too many vegetables?
This was met with a laugh and no, we cannot eat too many vegetables. Well, maybe a truckload of vegetables would be too much, but if we stay on the Profile approved list and ate extra vegetables, that is ok!
2. Can we snack on vegetables if we get hungry?
We can! This is good, because we have been. Vegetables are basically like a free food.
3. Is a dill pickle a vegetable?
It's on the list - have fun! We stopped and bought a large jar of pickles after that news. Perfect snack food. Be careful for any other types of pickles that have added sugars. Dill pickles are fine though.
4. Why aren't we losing every day?
Weight loss is different for everyone and as long as we trend downward, everything is fine. Some people aren't even weighing daily, but they only weigh once a week so they don't drive themselves crazy.
5. How much exercise should we be doing?
This is really a personal preference. If you aren't ready, you don't need to, but you will see more benefit if you do.
6. Where are beans on this plan?
We can add beans back later once we get to the Adapt phase of the plan.
7. Why have we been feeling so foggy this week? Is it due to our bodies reacting to this change and clearing out the sugars?
Pretty much! This is a process and it takes time to adapt in the beginning. (Good to know!)
We chatted about a bunch of other things, but our coach said he appreciates the detail we have put into this and says we are going to be successful if we stay the course.
Weight today: 202.82 lbs. (the same as yesterday)
Total weight loss: 5.96 lbs.

Goal Setting
One component of this plan is that we have to set a goal for the coming week. I committed to three days of exercise.
