I am trying to contact mbfarley. She mentioned the thinner by the minute program. I canot get it at my cod. No one there has heard of it!
So, mb, if you see this please contact me through this thread.
I just started my pre-req's for nursing school last spring and I think we may have some things in common. I also have a 19 year old son.

I've done a search and we don't seem to have any psots by an Mbfarley. Was it in the Journals?

[juliemarie]

No-there is a mbfarley-here's the thread she started on thinner by the minute program:

Goddess-you might want to PM her if you're desperate. She should get a notice of PM sent to her email address so she'll likely check the forum quicker.

Click on her screen name to PM her.

Strange! My search didn't show her.
Jsgoddess, you will have to go into your profile options and set yourself up before you can PM.

Thank you all for your effort. Especially you, Martha. Oh, how I wish my cod had this plan. It sounds perfect for me. I lost 135 pounds on WW.....got complacent the past couple of years and since someone gave me a bunch of the la bars, thought I would try lawl.
Anyhow, I had to tweak WW to fit a 40-30-30 plan and eat stategically throught the day just like your plan describes, Martha. I am on purple, so no need to adjust for me. I really, really appreciate you taking time for me.
I am a bit afraid of the academics in nursing as I have been out of school 30 years, and although I have a 4.0 average for my english and psych classes,(the only classes under my belt, so far) things such as chemistry scare me. I know I will be a wonderful nurse, if I can just get there. I too am not a typist...takes me a long time to do this, so I really appreciate you, Martha.
Any feedback from you will be greatly appeciated and used to the fullest extent....(regarding nursing or thinner by the minute).
Congrats on your success. You go girl! It is so worth it!
