i've been lurking too, i've been on mrc since mid sept. at my first weigh in i had lost 4 pounds (started at 210.5). then at the next weigh in i was on my period and was up 3 pounds. i've noticed that each time i am on my period i tend to be up a couple pounds so maybe thats it for you too.
your retaining water in this time. Try upping your water after you period you should see a good loss..
Slow down hunny,
1. there where post a long time ago about gaining when it your time of the mo. and when this time comes you need to up your water,
2. what time of the day do u have WI? as we talked about doing in the AM before food and water is the best time
3. if you r working out you really must up that water!!!!! did the center tell u to?
4. you are going be ok I know it, take a deep breath you can do this and you will do this!
Yeah I have been drinkinga lot of water as of right now its 12:30 and Ive drank 80 ozs not including my HNS.
I WI at 1pm before lunch our center doesnt open till 9 and i have to be to work by 9 so there is no way for me to WI before i eat anything.
Yeah I told them how much was drinking and stuff they said that was great.
They called me yesterday afternoon and went over everything with me again and said next time I come in they want to do another body comp thing sorry can't remember the name i know it starts with a T lol see if has changed!
Thanks! I think starting right when tom showed up was not a good idea for many reasons LOL
Oh ya I am taking b6 for water rention so I would have thought I wouldnt have been retaining that much water! guess we will see
Jenny2634, I know it's because of your period. I can't wait to see your weight loss Next week. I bet it will be awesome and you'll have a smile on your face. Just keep following the plan and it will work for you! I was told by my center (my 1st time around) to not exceed 4 hours of exercise per week. Just an FYI, you may want to ask how much next time you go in. Good Luck, your doing great!!
Yes but when TOM comes your body can go crazy!!!!! how many HNS do you take? Do you have a scale at home? If you do on WI days when you get up after you go to the bathroom weigh your self(I know they tell you not to but I am makeing a point) then go to WI then at night before bed weight your self again you will see how your body changes all day long. Thats why I stick to the 1st thing in the am WI,
Ok, quick question....I am not much of a cook can you explain to me how you do a scrambled egg w/cheese in the microwave? I have never heard of that before, but sounds easy and fast!
You just crack an egg in a microwave safe bowl. Add your cheese (I use shredded cheddar), use a fork and mix it all up. Then cook it for 1 minute. Very easy! Put your toast in the toaster while the egg is cooking and WaLa!

Very true, I started with 3 but upped it to 4 they said I could do 5 but gosh for money reasons and I dont know that I could do that many LOL I'm going to try and stay with 4. I do have a scale at home and I do actually WI on it (shhh) and it says I weight 3lbs less then what theirs says
So, I'm feeling great today! I know I have only lost 3.6lbs so far but before I started I had just bought a size 16 because my pants were so tight...Anyhow today they are feeling loose already. I can't wait to put on my 14's! I notice I am standing up straighter too and a smile of my face...What a difference a little positive thinking can do...It can change your whole life!

Hello everyone! I started with MRC about two weeks ago. I lost 6 lbs in preconditioning and now have put back on 1. They put me on the Meta-Balance plan instead of Meta-Slim. They are telling me you can only lose 2lbs a week on this. Is this true? Has anyone lost more on this? I think it may be the dairy. Thank you for your help. I am making a lifestyle change and working towards a goal of a anniversary trip with the hubby.
I am getting my food plan tomorrow and will be on the Meta Balance. Its sounds (and I am not sure yet) that yes we might loose a little slower on this but we get snacks in between meals!!! I am all for a snack.
My friend is doing the Slim and she gets her HNS between meals and no snacks.
I was a little disapointed at first that they wanted me to do balance but we get dairy on it and I for one love me some soy milk (hope that is included!).

Can I ask why theyput you on the meta balance? how much is it to get to your goal?
They put me on Meta Balance because I have IBS and my doc wouldn't sign off on the Meta Slim. I am going in to talk with my Dr tomorrow. Originally it was 52 lbs to get to my goal now they are saying I will only lose about 34 lbs. Still good but I had my heart set on the other.

I've done Metaslim all along and I'm sure my average on it hasn't been over 2 pound/week....it's been slow but sure. Stay persistent. You'll get there.
