Karla, sorry to hear you had a tough week. I hope all turns out well with the medical stuff. Good job on the weight loss. Stress can wreak havoc on our weight even when we resist all temptations! You are doing a great job.

Looking forward to my WI tomorrow, hoping I lost more than .5 like last week! Still haven't been to the gym due to my sinuses, guess I'll see the doc tomorrow!!

Ekk Been off plan since friday...havent went crazy but deff off plan. Tomorrow i start again...before i gain back my 10lbs. I think it was worth it since I got engaged today! Yippie..now to get the rest of my life in order...

Just got back from San Juan PR after a week long business trip. I was doing great until the last day. Was stuck in the airport for 9 hours with out HNS or anything OP to eat. So I went totally off plan but was about to get back OP as soon as I got home. Going back to San Juan next week so I plan on packing my carry on with plenty of HNS, replacement bars and shakes, just in case..

Congrats on the engagement. That's super exciting. :congrat:

Congrats on the engagement!!! Definitely something to celebrate! Sounds like you have a plan in mind! Go girl!!!!:carrot:

WOW. Congrats to you. That certainly was an event to celebrate. Good for you for getting right back OP. You can do this.

cleansing/detox question
 

Hi all,

has anyone of you ever used a cleansing/detox product? Ifso can you recommend any ?>

You can buy the HNS and the MRBars from DietDirect. Protidiet are the same as MRC's. Right now the concentrates are on sale for $ 7.99. I always order a bunch at one time and get free shipping.

Went in and Wi and lost 2.5 lbs!! I'm SOO relieved because I was so stressed cause last week only lost .5 lb. Have my motivation back, go to the doc today for my sinuses .. hopefully I'll be better soon; and can get back to my gym routine!! :carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

Nabeel I take magnesium and I have found for me, that works better than the fiber and the cleanses. But that's just me. I had a friend recommend it to me.

Congrats on the good WI & good luck w/the doc & your sinuses!

I TOTALLY agree works MUCH better than the fiber, who would of thunk?!?

Just started!
 

Hey everyone,

I am on day 7 of MRC, and am really excited to lose the weight! I feel like I'm doing pretty well for the most part. I have some trouble eating 6 oz of meat sometimes tho (thats ALOT!!), and I'm already sick of veggies. Then theres those times when I'm at home and go " oh that little handful of chips isnt gonna bother me..." anyone else suffering from major carb cravings and snacking?:(

Welcome! It can be hard to eat 6 oz of protein, I stuggled with that at times, but like the plan itself, you get used to it I guess. Good news is that once you get under 200 it goes to 4 oz. Any craving can be hard to get through, but most of the time, the longer you go without it, the easier it is to pass up. Not always, but sometimes. Instead of reaching for chips or whatever, drink a big glass of water and wait 10 minutes. Then see if you are really hungry.

6ounces? I'm so jealous...I only get 3....boo...lol. Are you drinking your shakes or tried extra fiber? I know that helps me with cravings :)

http://www.3fatchicks.net/img/bar02/...2/140/190/.png

You are so right Teresa! Most of the time in the past I used to eat more b/c of boredom/emotion than hunger.

http://www.3fatchicks.net/img/bar02/...2/140/190/.png

Why do you get only 3? I know there is a certain menu you get once you are under 200 but then when does the menu change again? At what weight?

wow, 3 sounds kinda nice right now!! honestly most days i dont get anywhere near 6, its just so much meat! what are your favorite HNS??? I love the mixed berry, but thats really the only one i like!

Friday, Feb 12th I started the beige menu, i'm already down a couple pounds, we'll see for sure on Wednesday how much because my scale is slightly different.

Today I cleaned out my closet and got rid of all the clothes I have that are bigger than I wear and donated a lot that I can fit in but don't wear much and kept the clothes from when i was smaller (ages ago)! I think it's good motivation for me to not be as comfortable with the clothes I have. It was so nice putting them in bags knowing i'm never going to be large enough to wear them again! I'm so looking forward to collecting a bag of clothes on a regular basis as I go down in sizes!!!

Any other motivation advice for new people?

I am on metabalance so the menu stays the same throughout the whole program. I get less protein at meals but more "snacks" in between. So I guess it all balances it's self out :)

Mixed berry is my favorite too! I like the flavor of the fulfill fiber drink too. I have a few unopened boxes in the pantry....I just need to try them out (got kinda comfortable with the berry & lemonades).

That is such a good idea!!!!!

I am in the same boat....6oz of meat is way way too much and I am SO picky about veggies..Ive talked to my center and said most the time i get in about 4oz but 6oz is just crazy..ive tried breaking it up but its just alot. In th AM i can add cheese so that helps.. I also bought a food processor this weekend to help with the veggies b/c i dont like textures of a lot of foods LOL.. I *think* this will get better. I enjoy making new things from the cook book. I've had so much trouble eating this much that the center told me to go ahead and try the meal replacement bars sometimes. I guess i just ate mostly carbs before. As far as cravings for carbs..that really went away after the first week...

My fav HNS right now is orange...then grape..I bought the pink lemonade powder kind and it tastes strange but i think i can get it down..the chicken bouillon was awful I kept a couple to cook with and traded the rest in!

Thanks everyone for the congratulations! I am super excited...I really hope to stick with MRC and be able to wear any dress I want OMG that would be amazing. I didn’t start MRC b/c of getting married but its defiantly a motivator lol.

Even though that is a great idea, and i am totally in the same boat, but i just think (i am Dutch so i am cheap lol), that its a waste of money to 'give away' old clothes. Currently 99% of my closet us useless to me, but i'd feel kinda bad for giving away clothes that cost me a fortune ( and BIG size clothes do cost a fortune), all those business suits, fancy shirts, about 12 pair of jeans :/

I think i might put them on ebay :D

(again remember i am Dutch, so very cheap :p)

I actually feel better about giving away plus size clothes than I do regular size because… Its so hard to find plus size clothes at 2nd hand shops. So I feel like it gives other bigger people something to choose from. Plus I have a lot of business type clothes from work so that makes me feel even better! I work for a non-profit and a lot of the parents of our children need clothes so I feel like it’s going to a good cause when I donate a bag or two. Plus I love shopping for new things for myself! It’s not being wasteful to help someone else! BUT hey if you can get money for them…its worth a shot too…I’m not rolling in money so I can understand being frugal too.

i love the orange and the grape! i have the mixed berry too...and it is okay...but its better with less water, i think :)

Woo, weighed in yesterday and down 5 lbs. At a 23 lb loss at this point. :) So exciting.

My favorite is the peach mango, yummy!!

WOW!!! congrats!! that is awesome!
