Is there something about hitting those boards that makes us stray? I mean after a 9 pound loss this last week I would think I wouldnt want to touch anything off program. HMM Little cheats got me this last weekend as well, and I know they add up! OKay... that being said I want another productive week on the scale, so I to want to stop my little cheats this week/month. I want to stop being a self saboteur! Meezoogirl I wish you a great OP week. You can do this.
Karla Great news from your new neurosurgeon! Maybe talk to your Doctor about being on MRC and see what they say? I would hate for any of the supplements to interfere with your treatment. I would think that even if you cant do the MRC, I would think that you could still eat OP even though you couldnt have the supplements. Take care and best wishes on your health issues.
I don't know what it is about the boards. You would think it would motivate us more not less.. We really are our own worst enemies.. Congrats on the 9lb loss.. That's amazing.. We can do this.. Have a great ON PROGRAM week!!!
Welcome Becky.. I personally don't like the powder drinks.. They just don't taste good to me. I use the concentrates much better. I'm a creature of habit. I like orange, punch, grape.. That's about it. I mix them with only about 6 oz of water. I've even had them straight out of th pouch, but not often. I've also mixed them with a Diet Rite Orange for something different.
Thanks Meezoogirl. I bought 2 other flavors that were the concentrate, I will try them and see if it is better. Heading for my WI in a few minutes. Wish me luck.

I think it all goes back to having that "emotional eating". I will just speak for myself right now.. when I lost a great # onw week I "celebrated" by eating off plan. WoW..seriously?.. I was happy I lost weight and so I decided to reward myself by eating what I wanted. It just showed me that I truly am tied to food by emotions. It actually helped me though because after that weekend I got back on track and made a decision to try to stop that "reward system". ~Figuring out this food/body/emotion thing is quite hard~

I think it's like you're celebrating. You lose the weight, so it justifies the food you eat.
I went for my first weigh-in today and have *officially* lost 10.5 lbs since Wednesday 04/28! So that means my scale at home is approximately 2 lbs off from my actual weight, but still, very exciting! Anyone else have that problem? I'm still in pre-conditioning so I can't wait to see what's to come.

WOWOWOW... that is awesome!!!! that is an amazing # to start with, Good luck
Hi Everyone! I have been kinda down, the last two weeks I have GAINED while being TOTALY on program! I had read about the Medi-quick on this site so I asked my center if they would let me try it. I'm on day 3, trying not to weigh untill I go to my WI. Wish me luck!!! I need it!
I finally did it! Last Thursday was day 12 of OP and i hadn't lost anything, I was so frustrated! I went to WI today day 16, and I lost two pounds! I am so excited! This might actually work for me, I was starting to think it wouldn't!
Wow! I worked all weekend without checking the board and so much is going on! Welcome to the newbies! This is a great place for support and encouragment.

I got good news on Friday and was told that my "case" was reviewed by the board of directors & I now have a new neurosurgeon who wants to start radiation asap. I don't know if I should mention this or not at the center. I think I may not say anything b/c this will cause be to be "removed from program" from MRC until for at least 1yr from recovery time. Any thoughts? What an interesting week ladies. I hope everyone has a good week!
I agree with the comment that you should talk to your Dr. about MRC, but not necessarily talk to MRC about your Dr. If it's okay from a medical perspective, that should be the definitive answer.
FYI for anyone who has wanted to get one, Amazon has BlenderBottles on sale. Well the Blue 28 oz one is for $8. If you are buying other stuff and get to $25 it's free shipping (or if you have Amazon Prime)
Ok, how do you count your water. I mixed up a concentrate with about twice the amount of water called for. When my consultant asked me how much water I was drinking I was recalling it all and I knew you didn't count the hns, but if you used extra water I figured you could count the extra. She said no. That sounds insane to me. I could open a concentrate and drink it from the pouch and then chanse it with 10 ounces of water and get to count all 10, but if I mix the concentrate in with the 10 ounces of water I don't count it. To bad, I am counting it until she explains it in a way that it makes sense to me.

So I went to WI today, and I'm down another 3.5 lbs! Thats 12.5 total in 18 days OP. I'm a little bit worried b/c I had to switch menus for a lil while b/c of some financial implications and I can't afford to buy the drinks for a couple of weeks, so I'm on the 1500 calorie diet which adds in some dairy and some more fruit servings...I just hope it doesn't slow me down. Good luck everyone! Have a great week on program!
Concentrate Drink
2 more pounds gone
