    And something I learned last week from my center.. you're supposed to have a HNS after a workout or eat withing 30min after. I didn't know that but I've started doing it. Hope it helps with my WI tomorrow.
    Keep up the good work!!!

They want me to do the same menu till Friday, then go back to the green menu, and start adding my stabilization items again, whatever I think will work. And with the problem I had, I think I will add one a week and see how that goes. I still advise, don't push stabilization, I would go when I was ready, and try to go a few pounds under, as it is so easy to put on during stabilization. If I make it to three pounds under, I will be ok . It will be something to work with.

    That's awesome! You're almost there!

    Wonderful news, Patzi!

    I know it's been frustrating, but you really show admirable patience with this process.

    First of all - Congrats on your first milestone! I haven't been sick since I've been on plan.. yet. But if all food sounds like pooh - that should keep you away from the bad stuff.. right? I would just eat what you can and throw in extra HNS, if you are allowed.

    Well, in spite of my allergies/cold/ear infection, I still managed to lose 2lbs since Saturday. I got to sign the 60lb board and get my stone!

    I'm feeling somewhat better today (I don't feel like someone kicked me in the side of the head anymore, which is an improvement, lol), but I still don't have much appetite. Also struggling to get all my water in. I just keep reminding myself that I need to keep my fluids up, or I'll end up showing a water weight gain on my next weigh in (especially with all the meds I'm on), which is discouraging even if it's not really fat gain.

    So, to all my fellow "sickies": even though food--especially OP food--doesn't sound good at all right now, try to stay as close to plan as possible and drink as much water as possible, and you can still maintain or lose when sick!

    Actually, it doesn't keep you away from the bad stuff...it makes you want carby comfort foods more. Last night, all I wanted was a grilled cheese sandwich. This morning, all I wanted was cereal. The idea of eating protein this morning made me want to barf. So I ate a bar, instead.

    I had a late breakfast because I slept in (called in sick today), so now I"m trying to figure out what I can stomach for lunch, when cereal, crackers, or mac & cheese is all that sounds edible to me.

    Congrats on 60lbs lost!! How are you enjoying your Kindle?

    And I guess I can understand why comfort food is all you want when you're sick. I guess this is where being single comes in as a good thing - because I don't have anything in my apartment that I can munch on or make that would be 'OFF'P. And I guess if I get the munchies when I'm sick then it'll be with Melba Toast, Protein, Fruits or Veggies.

    Hope you feel better soon!

    I seem to learn something new every time I go in. But I guess having the HNS restores your body after the workout. Which make sense, considering weight lifters are always drinking protein shakes after workouts.

    New to 3FC/Supplements
    Hi all! My name is Kathy and I am new to the forum. I have been following for a while before joining 3FC and must say you are a great group of people and so supportive of one another. I have been with MRC for about 2 months, but just transitioned to the Meta-Slim plan. I am really excited about it. Question- I have been taking MRC 6 and Cortitrim all along and just started on the Enhancer to boost my metabolism. Does anyone else take this and does it work? It was expensive and just would like some feedback.
    ALSO, does anyone know how I get the a ticker?
