Maintenance question

My center lets you go on Maintenance when your with in 6 pounds of goal. I am 8.5 so I need to start thinking about what I should do.
They told me I am on contract tell Nov. so I could just stay on plan and see how much I can lose or go on maintenance in a few weeks.

What do yall thank I should do???

I say stay on plan and give yourself a little of a buffer. that's a mistake I usually make. I hit goal and immediately go on maintenance then blow it, when usually 5 more pounds would have kept me in "safe" range.

Great weigh in and measurement!!! Congrats!!

Congratulations on the new jeans - and the changes they caused! :) I'm so looking forward to some smaller sizes.


Wow!! You rock. Congratulations - that 80lb board is well within reach.

Wow Just got a call from the center and they want me on the radio, So I guess all of great Waco will here me Wend.... Wish me big luck

Cooked Tomatoes
 

FYI, if you look in the grocery store, you should be able to find sodium free boxed tomatoes. I found a box/container from Italy at Walmart that was sodium free and only 1 gram of sugar per serving, total of 4 servings. I've used it to make chilli before and didn't have any problems.

I have read it's the carb factor. Tomatoes are considered high in carbs which turns to sugar.

If you use 1 tomato supplement and it makes multiple servings you don't really have to count it. ( According to my center).

Finz that is absolutely awesome. Might be time for you to update your picture. I know I am one to talk. I still need to do that.

Yep WorkingARmom, FINZ, NAMASTE - time for some new pics ladies... I can be very persistent when I need some inspiration ;)

Chili Result
 

Well, thanks to everyone's suggestions, I made some really yummy chili tonight and it was totally OP! I browned 1 lb buffalo, with some green onions and garlic. Then I added a 1/2 pckg of chili seasoning. Williams has no salt added and the back of the package says 0 sodium. Then I added 1/2 can of black beans (normally, I likea lot of beans i my chili, but I wanted to stay within the right portion for my "bread") and about a cup of water. It came out really good! I just wish I had remembered Meemo's idea of adding a chicken bouillon HNS. The only things I didn't like were that the portions were small. But I probably could have made 3 servings out of the pot because 16 oz. of buffalo would reduce down to about 13 oz. And I also wish it has been a it more soupy. I can always add water to it when I reheat it though. So for all of those who I got "hungry for chili", this was easy and totally hit the spot. I could have eaten a lot more! But, that is why I am with MRC, because I always eat more than I should!

On another note, I had a little mishap last night that forced me to cancel my trainer tonight. I dropped a huge kitchen knife on my foot-point down. So I think I either hit a tendon or a bone deep in my foot. I can't have any shoe touch the top of my foot because it is so sore! And I can't bend my foot properly to walk. Nice going.:(

WOW! Congrats! That is great!
All my center called me for was to tell me I had won Royals tickets for Tuesday night. Woo hoo. The Royals are such a good team, ya know! :lol:

OUCH!!!!! I have a fear of doing that. Come close a few times. I hope it heals quickly.

Hi there! All that chili talk makes me want some....that has no chance of happening on Day 3! Only one more day on this menu, then I'm on to the next one Saturday...yaay! lunch of 2 0z cheese and 8 oz salad veggies is killing me...yuck!

I really came to tell y'all that I had my first WI today! I am down 5lbs since I started pre-conditioning last Friday...happy dance!:carrot:

Great Job Chris!!! :carrot:
