Hi Everyone - I started MRC on the 2nd of October and as of today's weigh in I am down 26 pounds.
I am really enjoying my new life style change and feel very stable throughout the day. I have been reading this forum since I started, but this is the first time that I have gotten up the nerve to post something. Congratulations on everyone's successes and for those of you thinking about joining . . . this has been the best decision that I have made for myself.
Not only is my weight down but my blood pressure when I started the program was steady at around 158/98 and has been right around 120/62 for the last two months and I have lost 23 inches in total as of my month two weigh in. I have also gone down from a size 18 pants to size 12 and my energy level is fantastic and I sleep like a baby at night!
I lost 60 pounds on another weight loss program; but unfortunately they had no maintenance program and they had eliminated the grain and dairy groups. It wasn't something that I was able to sustain and eventually gained back my weight over time. MRC has an outstanding weight loss program and one of the big factors in my decision to join is their maintenance program. I look forward to completing my journey and sharing my progress with you all. 34 more pounds to go!
