That is wonderful news about your shopping trip! Doesn't it feel great to try on clothes and feeling great about the size! It makes all the work and sacrifice worthwhile. Super! And, now you're a source of inspiration to us all!

WI, today, down 20lbs, doing this on my own, with the help from all of you guys, went to an initial consult, but could not afford the 368.00, a friend told me about 3fatchicks, and it has been a success since then. Found ways to get the added protein, from Walmart has been working well. Prep was started June 10th, and OP started the 19th, I have not went off plan, and enjoy trying out new things for supper, who knew that yellow squash, coated with Mrs. Dash herb and garlic, and saute in the frying pan, was so gooooood.
Thanks, for all your support and guidence along the way. Whooooo Hoooooo, 20lbs!!!!

I started MRC May 7th, 2010. I am down 37.5 pounds & 31.5 inches so far. I'm glad I found this site because I have learned a lot from all your posts. Like you all I am finding it harder & harder to buy all those vitamins. Well, with the posts I found tonight I found out that I can buy most of the same supplements for soooo much cheaper at a site called puritan pride. I also found out that I could spend less on the HNS at a site called bariatric food source. I so want to finally lose, but its so hard for fork over all that money. At my center I do have some consultants that push products, but then there are some that are very good about not being pushy. Like that "new" program we don't talk about....I was pushed by one...didn't do it...then two other consultants said that I am averaging about a 6 pound loss anyways and they don't think I need to do it. That made me feel good because there actually are people there that don't push sales!!!
Anyways, I'm so glad I found something that I like & is working for me. There is a light at the end of the tunnel even if it is a little further than I wanted. Good luck, good job & have a great day to y'all.

Hi All - my father in law died on Jun 23, so the last few weeks have been an emotional roller coaster. My hubby is an only child, so we spent the last week and a half w/his mom in another state getting her situated for a new life without her mate of 43 years. So sad. I did weigh in right before we left that state on Jun 24, and I go today for my first weigh in since we got back to TX. I feel like I did really well considering the circumstances, and I am hoping to have lost a couple of pounds. Prior to leaving, we did my measurements and I was down 7.5 inches - so lots of good things going on even during times of sadness. Love all the posts here on the forum - you people totally rock.

I'm so sorry for your loss, please accept my condolences.

I think it's awesome that in the midst of all of this, you were able to hold your own with your program! Congratulations on that!

I know that I certainly am prone to look to food for comfort so I commend you for sticking with the program in your time of stress and sadness. Keep up the good work and keep us posted on your progress.

I hope you all had a great holiday weekend. I succeeded in sticking with the program and was very happy when I went to weigh-in today and lost 2 pounds. I am down 18 pounds now which is very close to 20 pounds lost!

I also changed my goal weight to 148 pounds and was gifted an extra 3 weeks from the owner so I think I may actually have a chance of reaching my goal. (I have one week left of my program that I purchased initially plus the stabilization and the maintenance. so... I now have a total of 4 weeks left to lose ) They told me that once I got down to 151 pounds I would start stabilization and would lose the extra 3 pounds during that time. I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel now.

Hello to everyone! I have been reading through this forum over the weekend. I went to my consultation today. I am going to join Friday and start pre-conditioning Saturday. I feel so hyped about doing this. I need to lose 69 lbs or so.

Hey wendinnc, congrats on another 2 lbs. It looks like we're the same height and right now my goal weight is 162 but i'm thinking i'll probably want to go another 10-15 lbs. Why did you decide to do this? Where do you think you'll see the most difference between 148 and your original goal. The idea of having a goal at 150 is very ethereal to me, it's hard to imagine what the difference will be than at 160 so I'm not sure if I want to keep going or not. I'd love to know your thoughts.

Thanks!

Thanks so much for the support everyone - I'm pleased to say that I was down even more than I thought I would be today at my weigh-in - 3.5 lbs! I definitely could have used this sad time as an excuse to overindulge, but if anything, I found it to be an opportunity to really focus on why I need to stay on plan - my father in law was only 68 - just too young to leave us. I plan to be around much longer - I've got a beautiful son who one day will have a beautiful family in need of a devoted grandma - I want to make sure I'm there to play the part. Being committed to my weight loss will only help that along!! Hang in for July everyone - YOU CAN DO IT.

I haven't been on this thread for almost 2 years, so can't remember how to reply. Got through a few months of maintenance, then tanked. Slowly put back on half of what I had previously lost, so want to try again without signing up for MRC. I sent you a PM about your surplus drinks.

As most of you know I've been struggling the last few months.. I went in and talked to my Center last week for advice. The consultant told me to start over again.. So I did 2 days of preconditioning, and then started the menu on Monday. Went to WI today and FINALLY broke my plateau.. I was down 5... Yep 5.. Lbs.. I wasn't expecting that.. I'd been stuck for so long, I just knew I wasn't going to loose..

This makes me remember that this diet works if you stick to it.. Plateau's suck.. but apparently our bodies need them.. I'm proof that eventually you will break it..

I can finally change my ticker now.. LOL..
