I went on MRC over a year ago. I had about 35 pounds to lose (I am pretty short), and lost all but about 3lbs to my goal. I loved MRC, and the weight seemed to come off fairly well without working out like crazy. I kept the weight off for almost a year, then was trying to quit smoking, and it was all downhill. I have gained some of the weight back, and really want to get back on this, but like some of you have said the money is the hard part. I know HOW to do it, I just need the motivation.
First of all, does anyone have the menus that they can email me? I tore my house up and can't find them. My start weight is probably about 135, but that's a guess because I don't own a scale any longer
Second, a little secret. Trader Joes makes a protein supplement in a powder form, that is just the same as the liquid supplements. It does not taste as good, but its about $15 for a huge container. Everything is the same in it, except the flavoring and consistency. I asked the girl at MRC and she said she couldn't support it because they don't sell it, but if it works to go ahead and use it. I used it almost the entire time I was on MRC before and it worked great. And it is way more filling than the kind they sell. I added Crystal light powder to it for flavor. Or coffee in the morning.
Any menus would be helpful!!! Thanks. And I will encourage you guys as much as I can. That was the most beneficial for me!
All I have is the menu plan they gave to me it is not by color (my center was bought out by MRC) so I think it may be just a bit different, welcome to it if you would like, cant email it but I could re-type to your email. What & where is Trader Joes-----is it like a shake or a thin drink???

I'm there too, if anyone would like to add me I like to stalk what people eat during the day and I don't get to see many MRC dieters so it'd be nice
Thanks for letting us know about the specials of the week, dkmd27. How do we use the gelatin OP? I just used the protein shakes for the first time and they were expensive at MRC!
I recently moved to England and obviously cannot go to the center! I have been off the plan for about 5 months...and have gained almost all I lost! I brought most of my pills/drinks over with me (forgot the menus but started yesterday and am trying to do it from memory) Anyway I would love the support online as I dont have the option of going in

i SAW THIS & REALLY LOOKED AT IT & IF ANY OF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH sODIUM, PLEASE REFER TO THE NUTRITIONAL FACTS. tHIS IS DIFFERANT THAN THE LIQUID PROTIEN CONCENTRATE DRINKS. SODIUM IS WAY HIGHER, PROTEIN IS ONLY 12 COMPARED TO 15, THERE ARE SOME DIFFERANCES BUT IF IT DOESNT BOTHER YOU THAN THEY ARE PRICED GREAT!!!

You're absolutely right ... I wasn't paying attention. It's the BariWise brand that is identical to the center (same product), and unfortunately it's not on sale this week. But when it is, I will let you all know. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!!

I think you mean't the Proti is the exact same product as MRC, not BariWise. BariWire was on sale not Proti...I only buy Proti HNS and BariWise shakes. Proti has the exact numbers regarding sodium and protein as it is the same product sold at MRC in MRC packaging.
I purchased some of the chicken boullion from them and it tasted ok, but the granules woulnd't desolve.. It isn't pleasant to drink a soup that won't disolve all the way.. Other wise it was ok.. I think it was the Proti ones. Not sure though..

Off of diet direct or mrc center??? I just get the chicken broth soup, not the boullion-I agree & that is why I dont get it like that any longer.
also congrates on almost reaching your goal!!!!!!

LOL ... oh my gosh, I'm so confused at this point .... let's see if I can get it right this time!
The WonderSlim powder is what's on sale this week, and it's not the same. The Bariwise powder is the same (I think), but it's the ProtiDiet concentrates that are the same. (That's what I get, I only like the concentrates).
Whatever it is, make sure and always check the nutritional information (it's posted on the web site) and compare. Then you'll know you're getting the right thing!
