I also would have like to have one on one so I could pick the items as to what I would need(minerals and such)-not just a general suggestion to everyone. I really want this diet to work. No one measured me either. They were out of a lot of the items that I really wanted for my first 4 days. Not on word about ketosis or Tanita
I'm so frustrated right now....
Ps where do I find the weight loss ticker things???

Slickchick...welcome to 3FC's. One thing I can tell you, you will find out more by asking questions and reading posts here than you will at the Lincoln Center. I know exactly what you meant about Robin rushing through the meeting. I felt the same way. Our class was so big and crowded that we couldn't have time for questions. And the way they make you complete your order sheet before you learn anything about the program is a poor way of doing things. I was thankful for learning so much here before I joined, otherwise I would have been scratching my head trying to figure out what all was being said. Maybe Robin has done it just way too many times that she just rushes through it anymore. Nothing was even mentioned about Ketosis at all, and I am going on almost 3 months and have not heard the word mentioned yet.
You should have been weighed with a Tanita reading and measured the day you signed up for MRC. Someone really dropped the ball with you there.
If you could, try to request Jeannie when you go in next time, I think she has probably been there the longest and will be much more helpful than the younger ones, in my opinion. Jeannie doesn't work everyday, so you may want to call and ask for her schedule. She was quite disgusted when I told her about the misinformation I was given from some of the younger ones. What you have to do, is ask to be measured each month, because they won't do it on their own, it must be too time consuming on their part. You also have to ask for the tanita reading. It should not be that way, especially since we are new and have no idea what is correct in what we are being told. I asked this week what the date was the last time I was measured, which was over a month, but she said nothing about doing it then. Jeannie said it is suppose to be marked the WI before to let them know the next WI should be measured and tanita reading. But that does not get followed. All I can say, is take matters into your own hands and demand to be measured monthly. Sometimes I wonder what we paid for.
But you can be sure, they never forget to ask you what you need to purchase that day. Another thing, there is a fish bowl with tickets to sign your name on for some drawing everytime you lose 2 or more pounds. I was not told that until about my 4th WI. So just ask questions here and read. You will get your answers and you will be surprised when reading how other's centers are doing. Again, welcome and I wish you lots of success.
st not a factor!
