Hi All!! I just got the best news from my center. Let my preface this first... My center had a "Biggest Loser" contest for the holidays. Who ever lost the most weight, won $100 for first, $50 for second and $25 for third. I went for a class at my center tonight and I was told in front of all my classmates that I won the Biggest Loser contest for the women!!! I won $100 towards anything at my center! I am so excited. I lost 16 pounds for the month of December. I NEVER thought in a million years that I could have won. I am so inspired now, even more so!
thanks for info---everyone! I think I will try to up my flax, since I already have some and see if that helps. I currently take just one with each meal. I don't really have a problem with not going at all (every few days)...its just (excuse the bad pun) a real pain in the butt! Oh sheesh...sorry about that!
I take 9 Flax a day which is the most my center says I can take. I've rarely had a problem going. I don't know if it is coincidence or not but I seemed to have notice an increase in weekly weight loss most of the time since I started taking the max.
I have had to go back to the office, to train the person who took over my position (DH runs the business, I run the children). Luckily, through conversation, I found out that she lost 80 lbs with MRC, and has kept it off for over 5 years! So now I have living proof that is can be done!
I went to WI yesterday, and I have lost a total of 6.4 lbs! That is in one week! Today is the first day of the blue menu. I am excited about the extra protein at lunch, but confused about fewer vegies at dinner. Of course, I am getting pretty tired of seeing lettuce. There really are not that many vegies that I like to eat raw.
Oh, yesterday I also bought the All Day Weight Loss, and the Internal Cleanser. I was laughing when I read the posts this morning regarding the cleanser. I purchased them because I thought that I was having a problem with the Flax Seed Oil, but I also realized this morning that it is probably the cheese... I am lactose intolerant!! It only took me one week to figure out I am dealing with a problem that I have had my whole life... I think that my brain cells are shrinking first!
I want to consider upping my flax...maybe 3 per meal? I don't think I "go" enough.
I was disappointed at WI this week. It had been a full week (almost) and I was only down 1.8....but I worked out so much.
Then I was measured...and I've lost 24.5 inches! That perked me up. I need to tighten up OP though. I've been getting a little lax in some areas....
I honestly feel like this cheeseburger soup is too good to be true. My cheesecake was an epic fail!! haha. It was WAY too lemony. I think I added two Tablespoons of lemon juice when it was supposed to be 2 TEAspoons. The consistency surprised me though...it was good. I'm going to try the pumpkin one which uses two vanilla puddings and instead of one van pudding and one lemon.
We'll see.
Other than that I tried a new drink today - pineapple. I added too much water, but with less I think it'll be really good!!!!
Have a great day everyone.
Jeanne - so excited to see another Jax person here! Which center do you go to? I go in Mandarin.
I am in Mandarin also. I was just there yesterday, and I am not sure when my next day will be... Friday with 3 children, or Saturday with out. Should seem like a no-brainer, but it also depends on what DH is doing!

OK You have totaly peaked my interest. What the heck is cheeseburger soup? Is the recipe in the cookbook? Can we have it b4 day 11? It sounds really good, but of course, everything sounds good right about now. lol

This sounds wonderful.would you be able to share the recipe.
okay...not to give tmi, but has anyone tried MRC colon cleanser? I have been taking benefiber for a few weeks with not a lot of luck. I don't want to waste my money on something that doesn't work. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!
The Internal Cleanser? I didn't use it the first time around, but it was included with my "starter kit" this time and I do like it. I've never had particular issues with not going enough, but things had gotten a little....shall we say....unpredictable for me. Much more predictable these days.
Yes, I tried it for the first time and absolutely love it!! I've tried the dieter's tea, senna tea, and all the fiber drinks out the wazoo!!! (pun intended) The only problem I see is taking four a day doesn't make the bottle last too long and gets expensive.
Wow - 4 a day? I only take 2 daily. One with breakfast, one with lunch. (The Internal Cleanser).

Congratulations! Isn't it nice not to be that typical person who gains weight during the holidays!!! And to win $100 on top of that is great!
