Ilovekotilab...That's so great! WOW! 16 lbs in December! That's amazing!

Checking In.

I WI this afternoon and was up 1/2 lb from last week which was up 1/2 a lb from the week before. However, overall I'm still down 3.5 lbs from when I signed back up 4 weeks ago. I know it's not anything amazing, but it IS a loss through the holidays and I'm excited about that.

I'm totally back on track and actually got full on my lunch today b/c I drank 2 HNS (a chicken broth and a mixed berry). I had missed my drink from breakfast so I doubled up. At least it filled me up and kept me from reaching for a biscuit or chocolate or something naughty! :)

I hope you're all doing great!

HI all!
I am new to this forum and have been lurking for a little bit! :)
I am just now starting the pre-conditioning phase and have WI on Sat.
Just a note, this forum is awesome and I have already learned alot about the program & feel less intimidated in starting MRC! THANK YOU!!!!

Have a Super Day!!

Welcome and keep coming back!! There's a lot of great support here. Also check out the recipe thread for ways to keep your menu from getting boring.

Welcome and good luck! It's a great program! Congrats on taking the step towards a healthier you!

Yup, I tried two and that just didn't work for me. Four are great, and I take all of them at bedtime. No way can I remember between meals. My biggest problem is bloating & gas & discomfort more than the not going.

I went back to my center just before Christmas. I had ended up slowly gaining 20 lbs. over the past two years. I've decided that I'm just going to keep going forever--permanent MRC--sort of like a WW lifetime member :D

Hi! Welcome! What center to you go to in Colorado? I go to the one in Lakewood.

Ok, spill it.... This cheeseburger soup recipe sounds wonderful. Would you please put it in the recipe thread? Pretty please?

You know there was a consultant at the Shalimar center who said they had a couple of clients who do just that, sign up for another year of maintenance year after year, just for that accountability and support factor. Cheaper than a new bigger wardrobe! (That's how I justified signing up again when they ran their special last summer - cheaper than a new wardrobe, and way less depressing!!!)

In terms of the Internal Cleanser, I took 4 at bedtime and it worked wonders for me.... for the first 9 months or so. Then, it just stopped working. So, I have used various other things.... but Mirilax (sp) works great if you can get some of that. I pretty much use that now when needed.

That is really smart!

Hi All! I have been doing MRC since Sept 1, but have just been lurking on the boards...thanks for all the great recipes! I have lost 37 lbs so far, but Christmas/New Years was rough so I need some motivation to get back on track!! I am back on plan now though! :) Does anyone have any fun new recipes to share? I recently made the humus(excellent and I'm addicted!) and the Asian turkey meatballs (this one's great too). Hope everyone is having a fabulous day!!!!

Hey guys another question! I got a recipe fom the center and it calls for xanthium gum??? Is it a liquid or what? It uses 1/2 tsp in the recip and I'm wondering if there is something else that I can replace it with. It is used in an oatmeal cookie recipe. I'm needing some variety in breakfast!

Cool thanks!
