Welcome to all the new members and ones coming back.. This is a great goup , sure has helped me.

Ashley Rae.. When I went to a stall the center had me try the following.

Meta Quick for two days, and back on the first menu for one day. I am on Meta Slim.. They also had me go back to the first menu for a day, then second day on the second menu and third day, the third menu, if this makes sense.. One time they had me go on the Meta Quick for 4 days.. This all worked and made me start to lose again.. Center should suggest things to help you out of a stall, maybe remind them again.. Hope the next weigh in will be a good one for you. Oh, forgot one thing, they had me add one HNS to daily intake, making it 5 HNS a day. Hang in there.

Oh, Patzi, thank you sooooooo much for the info! I'll definitely bring this up to them tomorrow! I've not heard of MetaQuick, but I'm certainly going to ask about it! You're a rockstar! Thanks again!

Wow - Its hard to believe March is here already. Signed up last week for another 17 weeks. Not sure I'll need it but the Center was running a special. I have 8 weeks until my husband and I go to St. Maarten. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can stay focused and get the rest of this weight off.

When I signed up, I chose a 30 day plan followed by a 17 week plan with a year of maintenance afterwards. If you haven't reached your goal weight, does that mean you have to pay for another 17 weeks? How does that work?

Yes, if you don't hit your goal weight by the time the 17 weeks is up, you will have to do what they call a re-enroll, basically a contract extension for another 17 weeks.

Yikes! I'll remember that little tidbit about the re enroll. French fry today = moolah out of momma's pocket tomorrow! Staying focused!

Hmmm... wish I had known that when I chose my goal weight. I would have to lose over 4 pounds a week to reach that. What if I choose not to re-enroll... can I do maintenance at whatever weight I'm at?

Patzi - thanks for sharing.
Mandiana - you can do it. Some weeks will be better, some a little less. But keep up working hard.

Today was a great day for me. Today I have done 27 days, I've lost 15 lbs and 29.5 inches.

I wish the pounds could be more, but hey - i can weigh 200 lbs and be a six 6. I'd be happy. LOL.

Way to go Nicole. I think you're ready to take that struggling out of your name. Goal is just a few steps away. Awesome.

You can, but I would suggest re-enrolling and getting to goal. Usually, it's just $99. The lower your body fat is when you start maintenance, the higher chance of success you will have keeping it off. Also, take advantage of the extensions that most centers offer. Usually, at every holiday, if you lose any amount of weight over the holiday, they will extend your contract by 2 weeks. I got an extra 6 weeks by losing over Memorial day, July 4th, Labor Day. I wouldn't have made it in time without those extensions.

Thanks, FLKat... You're doing awesome!

Debi, Whew!... I thought it was going to be another $300. I could probably handle $100.

Just checking in for day 2. I only have 2 of the MRC drinks left (tons of puddings, shakes and bars, but only 2 drinks)..so, I'm drinking a protein powder bought @ Sam's Club. I know it's not the same (has 130 cals, 2.5g fat, 3g carbs and 23g protein compared to 70 cals, 0 fat, 1g carbs & 16g protein)..BUT, if I just cut it by a 1/3 it *almost* equals out (that would take it to 85 cals, 1.5g fat, 2g carbs & 15g protein). I would have an extra 4.5g fat and an extra 3g carbs per day, not too awful bad. What do you all think? I don't want to spend the money to go buy drinks at the center so I'm going to order more drinks online.

I was down. 3.4 lbs this morning. That was encouraging, esp since TOM is finally making her way out the door as well.

Keep up the great work ladies!

Well, I have made my initial goal!! I am so excited today that I can't stop smiling. I think now I will go for a lower goal weight because I am not happy with where I am. Has anyone gone through this?

CONGRATS on making it to goal!

I haven't gotten there yet...so I don't know about wanting to lose more. Not sure where you are in terms of weight, but if you are unhappy still and it is healthy for you to continue losing, I say go for it! You realized how hard you can work, why not keep going if you can?

Well I was trying for 3, but I made it to 2 pounds down! I'll take it, considering I was sick for 3 days and didn't eat OP. Some meals I skipped because I wasn't hungry and some meals I ate off program..and I didn't drink HNS for those 3 days either. But its all good. I know by Tuesday when I go back I will be signing that 40 pound board! woohoo!
