Hi Jen! Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the 240s group. Gosh. You have done so great! 60 pounds lost! And I love your ticker!!

Are you following any particular program? Tracking? WW?

Lunarsongbird - I'm doing weight watchers, which I've really enjoyed. What's your plan?

Oh, and weigh-in this morning: 246.2 Phew!

Hi All!!
I was 240.1 at this morning's weigh in. Could tomorrow be the day????:carrot:

I joined the Metabolic Research Center. It's WONDERFUL! I meet with a consultant one-on-one twice a week. We go over everything I have done that week. They measure weight, muscle mass, fat percentage, hydration, and inches. They bring in an RN and psychologist every month to get to the root of their client's weight issues.

They offer classes all the time, including exercise classes- and if you go to six classes you get two free weeks of program. The trainers get paid a base salary, but also make commission on the pounds lost of their clients, which I think is pretty great.

So are you down almost a pound? FABULOUS!

Huzzah!! I think it just might be!! :hat:

I have never celebrated moving into different weight brackets before, but I LIKE it! I LOVE celebrating.

At the center, every ten pounds you drop- everyone in the waiting room is given a shot of a fiber drink- they put on the song "Celebration" and we all cheers to the "Loser."

Fingers crossed for you!!! Make sure you pee twice before you weigh lmao!!

I LOVE LOVE that your center does that, how awesome!!

Isn't it SO fun?!

We've also got to pick teams this month (there are four teams)- for every pound lost you put a stone into a vase and the team who has the most stones every week wins prizes.... free fiber drinks, free protein shakes, two weeks free on program, ect.

I am so motivated by that kind of stuff. They also do weigh-ins the day after holidays and if you have dropped .5 pounds? Another free two weeks of program.

I want MANY free programs. I paid quite a bit for my initial investment (17 weeks)- but I think I'm going to add a lot of weeks. They also guarantee a 2-5 pound weight loss a week (will give weeks back).

Up a little to 246.6 this morning.

When is your official weigh-in at weight watchers?

240.0 this morning - lol. It's fine. I've started walking 5 miles a day so I know I'm Building muscle. Good luck everyone!! We'll be doing the samba on over to 230s in no time. Where are my samba shoes??!! ;)

Hi, I'm checking in here at 244lbs! Blah! I haven't been in the 240s in ages. I dunno why gaining from the 220s to the 240s is such a big deal for me, but it was a wake up call. I'm gonna go back and read all 12 pages of this thread to catch up!

JellyBelly- Are you up from the holidays?

bleu- SO close. I'm not looking forward to weighing in on Tuesday. I feel like I've gained. Maybe I should replace the batteries in my scale just so that I don't have to worry.

I am out of here!! Weighed in at 236.6 this morning at my doctor's office. I'll see you in the 230s!
