and is anyone here taking Alli while being on program?
I'd think Alli would be a bad idea on MRC - it's already a low-fat program & we need some dietary fat. Since Alli prevents absorption of some fat you'd risk not getting enough fat.
I wi today and lost 2.5 poundsi!! They also did measurements and tantia-- all is well. I have lost 24.5 inches! I am so happy! My tooth is feeling better already, thank goodness! I did eat cheese and crackers for dinner....... not sure that it was exactly on plan, but it worked for me. The crackers were those new ones with vegietables. I am tired, it has been a long day! Good night all.

I didn't think about that. I was really thinking about starting it, but was just curious if there were people on it But yeah we do need fat, so since it is already low fat, it would probably take out the rest. That would make us all sick puppies!!! Thanks Meemo!

Great job Graduate..you got to sign the 30 pound board!
Has anyone had a weird nauseus feeling after they drink the fiberfill drink? I tried it yesterday, and am not sure if I like it...about 30 mins after taking it, my stomach made gurgling noises and I got really sick feeling...
Lilyannas mom - I'm on the vegetarian menu for MRC. I can have 1/4 cup brazil nuts, almonds, walnuts, peanuts or sunflower seeds 4x per week as my protein, but I haven't ever heard of 'nut butters' before (I'm assuming there is a 'nut' involved.) There are three different groups of protein on my menu, and I can choose from groups 1 and 3 daily, and group 2 4x per week. I don't know that anybody else here would like to know what's all on it, but I can send you a personal email if you would like to know what's there.
FYI, I make the Texas chili from the MRC cookbook with Boca Smart Ground. It is DELICIOUS!!!!
GOOD MORNING to all!!!! I had a weigh-in yesterday and was down 2 pounds, so I'm 2.5 pounds away from the 40-lb. board. I'm closer, but am not stressing about getting there by Christmas anymore. Thanks for all the feedback about the Meta-Quick program!!
Everyone have a WONDERFUL day!!

[B]Graduate[/ B] Whoo hoo Way to go! You are well on your way! Congrats on the size 12's also. I can't wait to see you!
Goal4Life I drink several of the fiber drinks a day and have never had a problem with nausea. But each of us is different!
Chopin Whoo hoo Way to go on your loss! You will be at the 40lb board before you know it! My manager told me not to worry about the numbers on the scale. There is so much more involved than that number! However, I know how exciting it is to get to those big "0" numbers!
Goal4Life: At my center, they told me the fiber drinks needed to be taken with food, if not, the fiber had nothing to bind to. So, maybe watch the timing of when you drink them? I've used them a lot. I'm not sure they do anything though -- once I'm out, I probably won't buy them again.
Happy Belated Birthday to you hvnlymzic I was planning to go online yesterday but my son was sick (strep and an ear infection) so I never go to the computer. I hope you had a wonderful day!
Goal4Life: Actually, I signed the 30 pound board last week! Yippee! I also got to look at my before picture yesterday. Wow! Was that eye opening!
I haven't tried the fiberfill drink- what is that for?
Sorry, I must've missed the part on that one. Congrats on it belated
Size 12, wow! I hope to be there by summer
I know what you mean about seeing your before pic...I got a glimpse at mine..and it was a shocker!
The fiberfill drinks are just what they say, fiber drinks, and they supposedly make you feel full longer. I will have to try again, maybe a different time of day or something. They were really sweet also. I am still out on the jury with them.
I had WI yesterday and lost 1.5 lbs and signed the 35 lb board! I also attended the class, "finding the connection". It's taught by a licensed counselor and this one was about listening to the voice of addiction. She explained when needs or traits are not met or affirmed early in childhood, that most will go externally for validation of those needs. This is what sets up addictive traits. We talked about different kinds of addiction as well (i.e. shopping, gambling, alcohol, drugs, food) and that food addiction is the only addiction that people have to continue to use to live which makes it the hardest addiction. I thought it made a lot of sense.
ChopinGirl, 4myltl1s, Goal4Life: Great job on the losses!! We should all be so proud of our losses, this is a hard time of the year and we are doing it!! I really don't feel deprived- I am not hungry, I am feeling so much better and I am so determined to get through these holidays and get to my goal. I am on track to be to goal by Jan. 25th-- I hope I can do it! I know I can't do it without all of you!! Thank you!!
But yeah we do need fat, so since it is already low fat, it would probably take out the rest. That would make us all sick puppies!!! Thanks Meemo!
