Love your ticker. I'm in Auburn. War Eagle! I've lost 14 lbs. thus far (in one month - not sure if that is good or bad).
I'm trying to pick up the pace by exercising. I'm losing roughly 3 lbs. per week, but I expect it to slow down or plateau eventually.

So glad I've found this site. Joined MRC today, and will have my Food Instruction class this Friday. Today I purchased Hoodia, Co-Q10, Metabolic 2000, MRC-6, and Flaxseed Oil.
Are all of these necessary for a beginner? I, too, am looking to save money and will shop around for less expensive alternatives. Just want to ensure I'm not "convinced" I need something I really don't.
I lost 30 pounds with NutriSystem, and have lots of leftovers. Hoping I can use some of those products with MRC.

I've been OP for about 17 days and I didn't start with any extra supplements. I do a multi vit and flaxseed oil (from Walmart) and that's it. I'm looking to save money also and thought I can always add them it I need them. Plus, my mom started taking everything all together at the beginning and now she doesn't know which ones are working for her and which ones aren't....so she keeps taking them all because she's afraid if she stops them she'll stall. I hit 12.5lbs. today so I'm pleased with my progress so far and can always start some later if I plateau. Just something to think about.
I found this site yesterday and have been reading all the posts. I joined MRC the 2nd week of July and I have been very happy with the weight Loss, the only major problem that I have is the cost of the products. I am a single mom on a tight budget and it seems that every time I go in to be weighed they want me to take something else. I have no problem with that except the tight budget. I was wondering if somebody could tell me where I can buy the MSM other then MRC. They have me on lot's of pills and it would help so much if I could buy them cheaper from some place else. Help Me Please!!!!

You can get MSM, flaxseed oil, and any of the vitamins at Walmart, Target, KMart, Walgreens or CVS, Sam's - most anywhere. All for MUCH cheaper than the MRC versions.
What is MSM? All these abbreviations .. I'll learn them, I'm just going to have to ask..Thanks for the help. Throw in some others that might help too ,please.

MSM, methylsulfonylmethane (METH-əl-sul-FON-il-METH-ane) provides sulfur, a vital building block of joints, cartilage, skin, hair and nails, and methyl groups, which support many vital biochemical processes in the body, including energy production.

There's a thread about abbreviations, I just bumped it - it's called "acronyms"
I just purchased supplements on-line at Puritans Pride. They have a special until 10/15/08 where you buy one Puritan Pride product, you get two free. I found the following comparable Puritan Pride products much cheaper than at MRC:
We have a local health weight supermarket here and he is very familiar with the MRC diet. He has his own diet and tries to sell us on it every time we go in but I have paid for MRC and will stick with it till the end. He had two products that equaled up to MRC-6. The are Safe and Skinny and Life's Fortune multi vitamin. He has a website HealthyWeightSupermarket.com. I am not sure if all of his products are listed there but he has the protien drinks for cheaper there too.
I have found the sites that list the cheaper drinks, but I am not sure which one is closet to the MRC6 and the phentratrim...Does anyone know...All this gets so expensive..
Thanks for any help
I really appreciate everyone's commitment to weight loss AND the ideas for saving money on the supplements. When I asked about alternatives at MRC, the counselor gave me a bunch of reasons why only their products were effective, etc., etc. They obviously make LOTS of money on selling their products. The websites mentioned sell the identical HNS, even the box is the same except for the name at the top.
Thanks for everyone's encouragement! I feel like I'm on the right track and can finally lose the weight!
