Britt, You CAN do this! You have come way too far to give up now! Don't get mad at me, but though everything you said makes perfect sense, at the same time, they are excuses!! You enjoyed putting the weight on, now it is time to pay the piper to get it off and though it gets tiring, it IS worth it. You have hit the area where the weight takes longer to come off, so it makes you feel like you aren't getting anywhere, but you ARE, just stick with it! We are all here to help and support you, so keep posting and we will help kick your butt back into gear!! LOL
Thank you! I needed to hear that tough love. They are just excuses. The same ones I used to get overweight in the first place...and those don't have a place in my life anymore!

LOVE this! I have felt like a bit of a failure lately from not losing....but I'm just refocusing and getting back on the train. Thank you for this quote.
Razorbackbritt..
Don't ever think you are a failure. You have done so well and are an inspiration. You can do this.. Once you refocus, you will be fine, I know it.
Hey everybody. Haven't been on for a few weeks, since we were so busy getting our CD done.
I started the metaslim plan a couple of weeks ago, and losing weight. A little slow, but losing and not gaining, and that's a good thing.
Our CD is done, and that 15 lbs lost made a difference in the pictures, and I'm so glad. Check out our facebook, and you'll see me from size 18/20 in pictures of size 14/16. www.facebook.com/nevaehmusic
I hope to hit 20 lbs by next weeks after two months. Then I get my $20 gift card to Michael's. Yay!
Can we have quinoa at dinner? I LOVE it and its not listed on my starch list.....
That would make me VERY happy....
It was not on my list either, but then office manageer used it at cooking class and said that "the next printing of menus will included 1/4 c (cooked) Quinoa and also 1/4 c edimame (please forgive the spelling) on them as a starch option".
You could double check with your center, but I was thrilled.
Well, even after my off program choices, I lost a pound. 41 lost total. I spoke with my favorite counselor about my feelings of hopelessness and slow losing. She recommended meta-protein. Anyone heard of it? Its a 2 phase plan and she said I'd have to do it for at least 2 weeks...one week of phase 1 and one week of phase 2. The menu was at each meal: 4 oz. protein from the chicken, turkey, bison, etc. group...and a serving from the cheese/egg group....one fat, and one optional fat (cream cheese, butter)....and veggies. No fruit, no bread/tortilla carbs.
I told her I was going to stick with my menu for a week or so, and if I'm still losing so slowly, I may switch to that.
Anyone done meta-protein? I had never even heard of it, on here or elsewhere.

I weighed in and lost .2 pounds. My weight was fluctuating more up while on stabilization, vs. staying at ground or a slight elevation.. Very discouraging, but this is an up and down situation.. For instance one day my weight went up two pounds, next day down 1, etc.After the elevation of two pounds, went on meta quick for one day and it brought it down some.
Center wants me to take week addition of starches and make them all veggies, no grains, beans, etc. , just veggies,
and for the addition of fruit for the second week, cut serving in half.
I am to add dairy to my diet this week. So we shall see where this takes me.
Today center wanted me to have a hormonal test, an iodine test and I declined all. I had both a year ago and was fine.
Center is having a special, a continuation of the Mardi Gras special..
MRC-6, Corti Trim, Phenatrim for $157.00. They say you save $35.00.

How is everyone doing?
Congrats on weight loss& CD that is great , You look fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
You mentioned the Meta Protein.. If it is like the Plateau Buster's Diet mentioned by teacher lady, I believe that originated with Adkins.. I believe a friend of mine while in college was on it for 4 days and then back to Adkins after tje 4 days. I was never on Adkins, so don't know for sure. However, I am curious about it so will ask on Friday when I weigh in.
WI today and lost 2 lbs. Normally I maintain on Tuesdays so this loss felt awesome! Also I am 2.5 lbs away from signing the 20 lb board and hope to sign it Friday which would be day 28.
I started the 2-meal plan on Saturday and love it!! It would not be for everyone as basically you replace 1 serving of protein and 1 veggie serving daily with 1 HNS so if you are hungry on the other plans, this would not be for you . . . but so far I feel great and have added some Benifiber or Chrystal Light with fiber and so far that has taken care of the hunger and I don't feel like I'm eating all day long.
