WI today and lost another 2 pounds for a total of 20 lbs in 35 days! I was a bit shocked - TOM is here and I still lost 3 lbs this week. I have felt like I was starving all week but stayed OP!
Oh, I forgot about the slimquick! I bet it is the caffeine! I didn't take it this afternoon, and I feel fine today, so I wonder if that is it. I think I'll just quit taking it and switch to the MRC6.
I finally decided on getting a kindle. They are becoming internet-ready, and starting to enable book sharing, so it's exactly what I want. I went ahead and ordered it today (arrives in about 8 days!), but I'm not going to let myself open or start to use it until I hit 200 on that darn scale! I'm hoping that this will be a big enough reward and motivation to buckle down and get it done!
That is so awesome!! There is a consession stand at my son's soccer games and I avoid it like the plage (popcorn is my downfall). I think it is inspiring that you were able to go to the stand and walk away with a bottle of water and nothing else - good job!

Thanks Mariah. What helped me is to think about spending $119 at the center before I went over there :-)

I feel sooo great today! I am wearing a new black dress I got on clearance at Target. Its very slim fitting (and a size 10! woot woot). 3 people at work have commented on how great I look/how much weight I've lost/I'm about to disappear....and I'll tell ya...its just darn awesome feeling.
Today, I feel like a skinnier version of me. And it feels so good.
Not starting the weekend off.. My 3rd week and I only lost 1 pound. But of the 14lbs I've lost 11lbs of that has been pure fat and I'm down 9.5 inches. Sure do hope I can lose more next week. Going to get more exercise in and maybe back off on the water a bit. I'm drinking about a gallon a day.. somedays more than a gallon.
Went to a local butcher shop and brought ground Elk & Buffalo. So going to give those a try this weekend. I also think I'm getting too used to my foods because I'm eating the same thing over and over.
Hope everyone has a great weekend! I'm going for a massage tomorrow morning. After this week, I really need it.

Where did you get the Elk and Buffalo? And how much was it per pound? I order online because I hadn't found anywhere locally that carried it....

Maria..
Great loss.You are doing so well. Are you doing the two meal program a day? When I was starving all week, they told me to add more fatty fish like
salmon to my menu and maybe eat it twice a week, so you may want to mention it to them. Be proud of yourself,20 pounds in 35 days is fantastic.

I went to Ivan's Old Time Meat Shop in Rogers. Kinda out of the way for me but it's all farm raised instead of wild. Both were $8.99/lb. They also had Buffalo Roast but it was $21 - not sure how much per pound but there was a roast towards the back that was $30. It was just a little too rich for me because I don't even know if I'm going to like Buffalo.
Anyway - if you know where Suzie Q Malt Shop is then it's down on the other end away from downtown Rogers. 2101 N 2nd St.

You sound so happy,and that if wonderful. A dress size down is so rewarding
and you are on the money saying it is an awesome feeling.. Just great.

I really like using buffalo meat for two of my MRC recipes-- buffaloaf (buffalo meatloaf) and the MRC Texas chili.
As far as weight loss slowing down--that's TOTALLY normal! It happens to EVERYONE right at about week 3. It's frustrating, I KNOW! But just remember that this will pass within a week or so, and you're weightloss will pick right back up as long as you stay OP.
You can do it!

How much is it when you order online?
Thanks! Don't remember how much it was online...but I order from buffalogal.com It has been good quality and ships well. We LOVE buffalo. When we move and get a big freezer, we will take advantage of their 1/8 or 1/4 buffalo combos and stock up. I could eat it every meal and say goodbye to beef.
I guess that's a nice way of saying it. What do you all do around your time of the month? Every time I'm about to start my lovely cycle, I want to eat everything in sight! What do you all do to help with this? I feel like my weight loss slows so much pre and during the cycle. Help!

This week was my first experience OP at that time. Basically I was hungry all week (normally I don't feel hugry at all). I did try and use HNS I could eat rather than drink (Jello, pudding, crisps, etc) and maxed out my HNS (5 daily) and that seemed to help. I ate more raw veggies as I find them a bit more filling and I did use a few fiber drinks.
Before MRC I typically would gain 5 lbs or so during this time, but this week I lost 3. I keep trying to tell myself that my growling stomach is a good thing to have from time to time and draink plenty of water. Hopefully others will have more suggestions.
