:dizzy:

Has anyone else gotten light headed or dizzy while on the diet? I never did the first time I did MRC, but geesh this time around seems I stay in somewhat of a dizzy fog. My sister suggested adding a little bit of salt to my water - something about electrolytes...May go into work a bit late today and have my bp checked...seems like it (or my blood sugar is totally bottoming out)

Well.... today I went to w/i and am down 1 more pound making my total loss 23 pounds. :)
I decided to purchase more weeks (10) since I am not where I need to be just yet. I also thought that I would lower my goal just a bit. I am not exactly sure what weight I want to get down to, but for argument sake I am putting 142 as my goal number for now. I may feel great at 148 or I may want to go to 140..... I am going to simply continue to chug along and see what feels right to me. I am really proud of myself for not just going on stabilization today since I lose sooooo slowly and would be completely disappointed if after the 6 weeks I was still not at my goal. (which was 148 until today when I changed it)
Thank you all for your advice last week. I am worth it and know that I will succeed! I hope to have a great month and feel almost liberated that the deadline stress gone.

Going for a consultation tomorrow.

So, give me the skinny. Does it work? Is it worth it? I'd like to lose about 40lbs and am pretty much clueless about nutrition and dieting. Will this help with that? Or do they just sell you supplements and drinks and that's it?

So this is my first time doing MRC & I have a few questions for those who have been doing it longer than I that really know what they are doing. I started May 7th of this year & so far I have lost 50.5 pounds & 41 inches. I have stayed OP even through vacation, but did eat at restaurants like 4 times picking the best foods I could to stay as close OP as possible. For my first goal is losing 100 pounds by Nov. 1st. I know I want to lose more, but not sure...they think I should weigh 150. At first I felt this program was so easy, but now I don't know if I'm getting bored (not with the food) or I'm not losing it as quickly as I was in the beginning so I'm getting more frustrated I guess. So did any of you find it easy in the beginning then got to a point where you were feeling like it was just too much & not want to continue for whatever reason? Is it really true that when you get closer to goal it is harder to come off? If anybody could tell me about their struggles, what they did or are doing to get over them & any other advise that would be great. I don't want to quit by any means, but sometimes I wish I didn't have to eat. I can't wait for the day I don't have to eat 6 OZ of protein at one sitting!!!

Thank you all in advance. I appreciate everybody for all the support that is on this website. I have recommended it to so many of my friends.

just testing my ticker ...hmmmmm its not workin

Restarted again myself August 1st. Doing it on my own this time with baby steps and small goals. I have to often looked at the big picture and sabotaged myself.
Flowing the yellow sheet minus the drinks. I add in some butter, EVOO and some cream in my coffee. Nothing crazy but enough not to make ME crazy.

First goal is for my tight clothes to fit again.

Went to WI this morning, down 2 more lbs, so a total of 33.5...but I really need to kick it up a notch and stick to my August goals for sure.

Anyone ever had bison burgers? Are they really okay on this plan?

Hi Y'all - I'm new to the board. I started MRC yesterday. I'm still in pre-conditioning. I'm excited to be doing this...and yet it's incredibly daunting. I'm only on day 2 and I'm suffering terribly from the caffeine withdrawal headaches from years of drinking cokes. *miserable* Work and headaches do not mix!

I have been overweight for as long as I can remember. And as sad as it is...I long for the day when I can wear a REAL bra. I have never been able to find one that is comfortable b/c of my size. Additionally, I am definitely motivated to lose weight b/c my mother had a stroke at 50 from undiagnosd diabetes and it's been a wake up call.

And so this is my hello to everyone! I'm sure I'll be here for quite a while since I have a large amount to lose.... :). It'll be great to have friends along the way.

BTW, can someone point me to where I can get one of the pretty tracking things that everyone seems to have? And/or direct me on how to install it?! I need all of the motivation and personal awareness I can get.

Best of luck to everyone on their weight loss journey!!

Good luck to you, Hope!

I also have a good bit to lose, so I should be here for a while.

You can edit your signature in your User CP (control panel) to get your tracking thing. Follow a link once you are there and it will tell you more information. You may have to wait until you have 20 posts before you can get one though.

thanks Junie!! : ))) - I'll check it out re: the CP Panel
and best of luck to you as well!

Btw, I saw you're from Central Louisiana....I grew up in Pineville, LA!

Welcome, Hope! Good luck to you!

Speaking of Louisiana, I just heard about those 6 teens that died in a river in LA. Very sad. :(

I know! I heard about that. It's such a tragedy.

Wow, small world!!

I'm from Louisiana, too!

I actually live where those teens died. It is such a tragedy. My husband and I go to the exact spot they were at - Hamel Park. He's not very buoyant and one time he accidentally stepped off of the steep drop-off. Went under and had to fight to get back up. Prayers for their families.

homemade snickerdoodles (my fav cookie) are baking in my work kitchen and the aroma is all around me! It's taking every ounce of self restraint to stay away. Wish me luck! I will not have a cookie... i will not have a cookie... they smell good, but i can have one when im done with program.
