And congrats on your weigh in Karla!

The "Easter Menu" was just a few things they pulled out of the cookbook. If you want the info just let me know & i'll post it :) Have a good Easter & good luck. I spoke to my Mom & she is planning a meal that is definitely not OP so I will have to bring all of my food & cook it over at my parents house so that my bf & I feel like we are a part of the meal. It is kind of a bummer....but in the end it will pay off.

Hola, Happy Easter everyone, I did WI a day early down 2LB after 1 week, so I am happy. I forget that it's slow steady losing weight on this program. Last time it seemed to happen so quickly. April goal is to hit the 10 pounds mark.

Happy Easter everyone !!!

Down more pounds
 

After waiting 1.5 hours at the center today (really short handed due to Easter weekend) i lost 2.5 pounds.. i was a little bummed but i knew i was on a crappy platue.. just didnt expect it in the first 20 pounds. i hope this means i will have great week this week.....

Happy Easter everyone....

Hi All! I am new to the forum I think I posted once. I have been OP for 23 days. I weighed in on my 21st day and had lost a total of 21lbs! So thats a pound a day! Wooohooo. I am now noticing the last few days I have really been cheating here and there. I bought my son a dip to go with his celery, and it became my new addiction. I had to have it on everything and it is of course not on plan. I went from being overly perfect, not even licking my hands when I prepared different foods for family. And now that I reached an awesome weight loss in 21 days I am almost wanting to go back to my old ways. I guess the mental trip is just messing with me! Errr... I want to get back on plan tomorrow and do it the right way again. No more mini cheats. Sorry for the rambleing. PS. how do I get a picture on here. They say they cant load? Also what about the weight tracker things. And is there a how to thread. I guess I havnt really ventured off of the MRC thread. Maybe I should and I could answer my own questions.

Oh Also I started at 310 HOLY COW I know and now I am down to 289!

Good job on your loss so far! The ticker will not display until you have been a member of 3FC for 20 days & have posted 20 times. There are a lot of informative threads! Good luck on getting back OP...you can do it...remember you have lost a lb a day so far!!
I am sending you some ::dust: ;)

Karla,
I needed that will power dust more than you know! Somehow it got lost behind the dust bunnies for easter today :) Thanks for the info on the tracker. I guess I will try then. And as you can see I actually figured out how to do my picture :) Thanks again for the encouragement! ~Angela

Oh....the Easter Carbs. We'll see how this week goes at WI. My goal is to be perfect OP until I WI on Weds. Hopefully, I'll maintain...I don't expect a loss. I wasn't terrible, but definitely not OP. Oh well...we'll see how it goes.

Congrats on the great losses Scarlette and Angela! Scarlette - I had that plateau too...It'll melt off as soon as you pass it.

Ugh!! Was sick for 2 weeks!! Slowed my weight loss down tremendously, because of the meds!! But I signed the 70lb board and I'm heading to the 80lb board and Onederland next!! I HAVE to get there before my son's graduation in May, but I want it by the end of this month, if not sooner!
Had an NSV last weekend too!! I bought a pair of 18 jeans and 2 days later they were getting too big. Tried them on today and I could definately get into a size 16 now wooohoooo!!! It kinda makes missed goals worth it lol

Hi All, I'm new. This is my first day OP. I was really nervous about having to drink the HN. They looked so gross...but this one tastes like Tang! yay. I tend to do really good on diets for about 4 days and then when i start to loose I start cheating. I have promised myself I will NOT this time. This program is the strictest I've ever been on. Maybe that will help. I really enjoy reading all of your posts! Glad I found this site :)

Note to self.. DO NOT make Rice Krispie treats for kids on Easter.. I think I ate 4 of them. Plus the Easter carbs.. I've been starving today because of the sugar from yesterday..

Hope Y'all had a great Easter... Back on program today.. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can fix my slip up by Friday WI..

Wow! you are doing great! I got in a place where after a big loss I too started to get the feeling of not being quite so diligent about the program. So don't go there, it is really dangerous.. I can speak from experience as most of the folks on here can. Keep doing what you are doing looks like you are going to make your goal..

Cheers!

Ronnie

Yeah, I survived easter without eating the easter candy, of course it helps when you don't have kids the easter bunny seems to forget those house!;)
