I'm looking for something a little different to mix up my veggies--starting to get bored with them again. Lately, I've been trying to eat my veggies really really fast so I don't have to taste them so much and can "get it over with," then I savor the rest of my meal. Not the best thing to do, though, as I know it's better to eat slowly. But otherwise I get grossed out by them and almost start gagging on them later in the meal. I know, it's like I'm 2 years old again, lol! |

Okay, I finally updated my profile pic. I have also attached a pdf to this post with my before, during (-30lbs), and after (-50lbs) for my current weight. :)
Junie, I think you need to post a before/after pic! I always love looking at the ones people post--it is so inspirational! ETA: Hmmm. My profile pic didn't change. I'll have to work on that. |

It could very well be the bathroom issue. If you keep up the program you should see a nice loss next time. Is your time of the month coming up? It could be that too. Don't get discouraged (even though it's hard not to), but I went through that too. I would keep up steady losses and then have a week where I didn't lose at all, or gained some. But the next week, I was back to losing again. I don't think your body will just lose consisently throughout. It loses some, and then your body has to catch up with your weight loss, and then you'll lose some more. Does that make sense? Good luck! |

Looking gooooooood Teacherlady!

TeacherLady -- That is just fantastic. Way to go. Now, you look so great, so my advice is -- DON'T FEEL SO GREAT WHERE YOU ARE THAT YOU GET COMFORTABLE (like I did!). Keep pushing all the way and leave yourself some wiggle room. So happy for you! You already look like a different person -- the change in your face is just so remarkable!

Hi..
I am really depressed with today's weigh in.. I gained 1/2 pound and on Tuesday gained .7 pounds. I have been OP at all times.. Still a little over 2 pounds I guess to goal.. Center wants me to go on three days of the Meta Quick Diet to see if that will kickstart it.. If I am still at the same point in ten days, they think they will start me on stabilization, as it may mean my body is ready for that. They told me many who have gone on stabilization still lose, so hopefully that will be the case if this is what I want... Sooooo, meta quick here I go AGAIN.. Thanks for letting me vent , as I feel real down at this point, but tomorrow is another day. Congrats to all the losers and hope everyone has a wonderful day. Patzi |

When I hit -50lbs, my sister informed me that both of my nephews together is 50lbs. So it's like I lost two small children off of me. -77lbs is almost like losing a 10 yr old! :) |

Stressful week
We had two offsite meetings this week which made it extremely hard to stay OP, but I winged it as best as possible! I did have some no-no's which amazingly enough made me gag as I took the first bite. I guess things just don't taste the same when you remove them from your diet. 1) being corn - it was just too sweet & 2) dinner roll - I almost had to spit out the first bite, but instead of making a scene, I had a full glass of water to wash it down with.
WI this morning was awesome - lost 3 lbs - which means to date since 2/17 lost 12.5 lbs. Also received my 10 lb stone & signed the board! CHOO CHOO!!!:D |

Patzi,
I'm so sorry you're feeling down. Just think of how many of us would give anything to be as close to goal as you! You're doing so well! Junie04, Wowsers! Look at you! Awesome-sauce! Went to weigh-in today and after 2.5 weeks of bouncing around between the same two numbers with no loss (I went up two, then dropped them, then up one, then dropped one - GRR!), I'm down 2 pounds, making it a total of 25 pounds lost. YIPPEE!!! This means that I've met my first mini-goal and get a new set of earrings. Holla! HOLY COW, I JUST REALIZED I'M HALF WAY TO GOAL! *Singing Bon Jovi* Oh, I'm halfway there. Oh-oh! Living on a prayer! :dance: |

So this morning, my scale at home was already showing 169! I just checked...and 169 takes me out of the obese BMI category! Woohoo!
Buhbye obesity! :-) I am going to wait until it is MRC weigh in official to change my signature, but its so exciting! |
Congrats, AshleyRae & Razorbackbritt!!!!!

Razorbackbritt - You look amazing! Congrats! If you still want to lose more, go for it!

teacherlady79 - Your pictures are beautiful and the change that 50 pounds can make is amazing. . . I can't wait to have some "after" or even "in progress" pictures of my own!

Teacherlady and Junie04, you both look great!!! One of these days I will see if I can get a before and during comparison. I think it would be good for me since I cannot see much of a difference. But you know how it is - we are our own worst critics.

When I was skinny (10 years ago), my period would start on Wed or Thurs of the week of my placebo pills. As I gained weight, it gradually started moving to Thurs or Fri, until it was Friday night that it started. After I lost about 25lbs, all of a sudden my period was starting on Thursday, and now I start my period on Wednesday morning of the placebo week. I think the weight loss is actually helping to regulate my cycle a little bit--which is promising, because the whole reason I went on the pill when I was 19 was because I was sooooooooo irregular. We're hoping to try for our first pregnancy this summer, so I'm hoping this weight loss is really kicking my system into some kind of "normal." :) |

The center told me that my period might change, but holy cow, I felt like I was dying. My friend told me, "you should really be afraid of something that bleeds for a week and doesn't die". My poor husband felt bad for me and told me, "I can't wait until we get this resolved". I, unfortunately, snapped at him and said, "We? Who is we? The only affects you are feeling is the lack of marital bliss at bedtime (OK, I said it differently, but you get the point)". :crazy: So, long story short, hopefully this side effect of getting healthy will go away soon. Thanks for letting me share. |
Hi guys. I am on Day 13 - doing this solo (no centers in my area).
I had the courage to weigh yesterday and lost 4 lbs. I can't believe it - I've been struggling to lose for so long, and now, suddenly, it is happening! I've prayed, cried, prayed..... I was about to go to the doctor and find out if there was something wrong with me. I remembered - you know, the MRC program worked AMAZINGLY well - maybe its the only REAL way for my body to do this. For whatever reason, I am starting to believe that some of us are genetically geared differently, and this program hits those people and makes them successful. OR, could it be, my diet was all wrong? Either way, I am so EXCITED. This is a major victory for me. After I lose 8 more lbs I have a special reward for myself!!!!!! I can't wait. I'm hoping to shed this 8lbs pronto so I can get my prize! Have a great day! I am walking on air today. |

Teacher Lady.. Congratulations to you and I am so happy for you.. You look fantastic.. Amazing what 50 pounds can do to a person
Junie.. Congrats to you also, 80 pounds, how wonderful is that.. I am close to my goal, and when I make it, I have thought of trying to take off 5 or so more. But we shall see. If I have missed anyone, I am sorry. I have been out of town on and off this week relative business, and I don't always have access to get on this forum Have a wonderful weekend.. I am on my Meta Quick per center thru Monday and weigh in Tuesday. Patzi |
Okay ladies I started doing this one Tuesday after I went to the doctor and got the wonderful news that my sugar was up and I had to start using byetta. I weighted in at 278 pounds that morning. I'm doing this one on my own with the help of the Good Lord. Today I weighted in at 268. I can not wait until I can buy some clothes without the number 2 in them at all. I like the way everyone encourages each other. This has helped me a whole lot. I know I still have a very long way to go, but I'm in it for the long haul. Well anyway keep me in your prayers because I need all the prayer I can get and then some. Have a Blessed Day.

AH! Lunch problem!
We ended up staying at my mother-in-law's last night as hubby worked late and I hung out with him (we live an hour away from work....MIL lives 20 minutes away). Problem is: now I'm at work with no lunch because I didn't plan ahead. And I rode with hubby...and he is at work and can't take me get anything! I do have HNS...but I can't just drink that all day. All we have at work is vending. I'm thinking there is a packge of animal crackers (plain, no frosting) that might be the best option. Oh no! Everything else is fried (chips, cheese curls, pork rinds, ew) or candy, or covered in chocolate. |
