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!!!

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.

Just got back from wi and I am down 2 since Friday, 11 since starting 4/23/10. working on cutting out my caffiene and increasing my water now.

btw, how much water do you mix with the concentrate?

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

I mix mine with about 6 or so ounces

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 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.

began 4/23/10

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!

I have been on the plan since 2/14 and I have lost a total of 38.5 inches and 36.5 pounds. I am feeling great and very energized. Love to plan.
