Hello everyone,
I just started the MRC program, as of my weigh in last Thursday I had lost 9lbs in my first week.

My next weigh in will be today at 8:30 am.

I cant wait to sign the 10lbs lost board.

Congratulations on the weight loss so far. Keep up the good work.

Welcome and you'll be signing that board before you know it! Please join us on the December thread. It's a great group and a wonderful support system away from the center.

I just wanted to jump on this board too. I too just started the program, but it was 11/21/11. I am still struggling to sign that first milestone board, but I think by this next weigh in I should have it. It's been hard because while starting this...I started a new job with different hours and everynight at work I smell cookies baking and good yummy, but bad for me food being made. Here's hoping I'll find some good friends and great advice along this journey and we'll all meet or exceed our goals!

If I remember correctly, the only things you should take are a multi-vitamin and the "oil" pills. I take Flaxseed oil pills. Some take krill. I think there are some others too. Both the multi-vitamin and oil pills can be purchased at any drugstore. Everything else offered by MRC is optional. I do take a few of them because they work for me. As with anything, what works for one may not work for someone else. But, no they are not required.

Good luck!

I am new too. 8lbs the first week. I know it is water, salt, lack or carbs, etc....but it still looks good on the scale.
