I have to admit, I've been trying this by myself for awhile, and I just don't do as well. Unfortunately I don't have the means to rejoin, so I keep on trying, but it is really hard! Getting information here helps for sure, but it's just not the same.

Today Is The Day
 

I have been attempting to get back on the program for a month now...trying a day here and there without success. Yesterday was the final straw...when I weighed myself and I had gained nearly 20lbs back since December UGH! SO today is day one and it is going great...I worked so hard last year to lose 60lbs no way am I going to throw that all away...I have 34lbs to go.

Hang in there GWE ... as long as we keep trying, we're still in the game!!

Thank you...yesterday went really well and I have my head in it now!

P.S. Congratulations on your 1/2 marathon!!

I've been on maintenance for 5 months and had gained a few pounds over the holidays. I've been watching what I eat and keeping my food diary on SPARKPEOPLE.com and it's the fats I'm eating too much of - good ones but too much. I posted the yellow menu a week ago and have eaten breakfasts, and lunchs if I'm home but haven't been able to follow through with dinners! I admire you GWE - I'd really like to get back into 'fat burning mode' for a couple weeks.

Maybe I'll use you for inspiration and just do it!!! Raising my water bottle to ya' :carrot: jeanette

Would you please send me the beige menu? I would greatly appreciate it! I was on the program when I lived in FL but there is not a center here in MD or close by. Please and thank you.

dkmd27 - Thank you!

Jeanette, thank you so much for the encouragement. I am happy to say that I am down 4lbs this morning after two days back on program...I did have a VERY difficult time running yesterday...struggled to get through 4 miles with the few calories in my system...but hey I will just keep on program and run what I can...my focus is to get to my goal and keep running as a form of stress release and exercise.

Hi Stacy,

Would you please share the green menu w/ me? I was on the program about 4 years ago but don't know what I did w/ my menu. I'm going to do this on my own. There are several websites that sale the same HNS that MRC sells but don't cost quite as much. I don't have enough posts to send my email address in this post but my email address is listed under my contact info.

Thanks,

Leketra

Menus
 

I have yellow, blue, green, beige, meta-quick and meta-balance menus just PM me and I will scan and send...please give me a couple of days though...

Thank you SO much for this thread. I've had several friends do MRC's program and have phenomenal results, and I felt defeated because there's no way we could afford to do it - I'm self-employed, so it seems like money is always tight and anything extra goes toward saving for slow times.

From what I've gathered, I need the beige and green menus - can anyone send these to me? And if you've got any tips for a total newbie, send those along too!

Thanks!

So I saw in here where someone stated that they order the drinks online at dietdirect dot com but what specifically do you order from them? I am going to sign up today and will have Food Instruction on Friday but wondering if I can save some moolah (as I desperately need to do) by ordering online. I just don't know enough yet to order the right thing. Please help!?! Any advice would be great.

I would also love the menus as I am sure I will want to lose more than what they have planned in the next 17 weeks for me but refuse to pay more money beyond today. I have no idea what menus I need, can someone educate me on this and/or send them to me?

Not sure how to get you my info... k w i l d e 6 4 3 4 at y a h o o dot c o m. is my e m a i l addy.

Thanks!!

MRC is a PROGRAM not just a Diet
 

MRC is more than just menus - it is not a diet, it is a Program. Those of you who do not have a center near you and do not want to do this program via phone and mail order, or can not afford to sign up, could use this forum (all zillion pages of it) to "data mine". In different places, you will find the information contained in the menus. If you have questions about something specific, at the bottom of the index page, you can search on specific words to find all the posts that have that word in it. Many of us who have spend a lot of money on MRC do not feel comfortable just 'giving away' the menus. There are a lot of specific problems that can occur when you are on a low calorie diet and the supervision and bi-weekly meetings with the MRC counselor helps protect one when one is doing this diet. If you read through this forum and get enough information to do this on your own and you post questions here often enough, you may find someone who feels comfortable to email you the menus. After you have been a 3FC member for 21 days and have so many posts (or something like that) you can send and receive Private Messages. I do not want to be discouraging and I love sharing this program with everyone who really wants to lose weight, but you have to realize, it is a change in life style, not a diet. If you go back to eating how you did before MRC, you will gain weight. Sorry this is so long; I feel bad everytime someone posts on this and the "Menus" thread.

Ok so I started MRC the 1st of this year & I fall & get back up however I have lost 13lbs, 22 inches & went from an uncomfortable size 16 jeans to a loose 10 jeans. I love the drinks & products & am up for renewal on Saturday. Would have to pay ANOTHER $130 (paid over $200 to join) in order to renew (does not include products). I saw all of your comments & went ot Diet Direct. THANK GOD!!!!!! I usually spend $50/every 2 weeks on products. I went to the site & spent $80 (free shipping) and I am set, no renewal fees & now Ill take the remainder of that $130 I would have spent on Saturday & get my hair done instead!!!!! I am also joinging a Saturday boot camp here in Daytona so that will surely help. Other than that I walk about 1/2 hour 4x's a week if I am good! Im ready to join this support group & have the MRC cookbook so Ill try to post recipes here & there. Stock up on those drinks ladies...they're the success in my opinion!

Where do I get this weight progress chart???
