And in just 11 more days, they will be doing my measurements again! By then, I'm hoping to be signing the 40lb board or just a pound or so away from it.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

How often do they measure...just once a month??

I hope you feel better soon. I have four dental procedures last year and was miserable (plus $4,0000 poorer).
It's important to take your antibiotics so infections doesn't spread to your heart or brain. I've seen both happen a couple of times.
Do you not have adequate pain medicine? I would ask for it if I were you. Pain can color your whole attitude and cause you to make bad decisions because you just don't care.
I had a terrible day Thursday. I went sssssoooooooo off plan. I ate 1500 calories, didn't exercise, and while what I ate what on plan--I really abused it.
For example I ate two hamburgers at lunch, two chicken breasts for dinner, three replacement bars and 4 HNS. I was so ravenous. I had just lost 3.6 lbs from my WI the day before and I didn't conciously think, "Oh now I can cheat," but I could not sleep until my stomach had that bloated feeling it used to have before I started MRC.
It was very odd. It was like my undisciplined, pre-diet personality took over and I had never heard of MRC.
But I've been OP since and feel so icky after missing exercise that day that I can't see myself slipping for a while. Luckily, I lost the taste for carbs or it could have been worse. I'm just sorry I probably stopped my losing streak.
Took a bunch of pics today for my son's prom and I wonder how I look in them. Still wearing baggy clothes but I hope to see a different woman. Usually I avoid having my picture taken but I was right up there with my son and his date smiling at the camera. A NSV for me.
Hope everyone has a great night and great tomorrow.
So Sorry dental work is a nightmare sometimes! By the way you are so lucky...I never even liked burgers before but I would die to have one now..what plan are you on?? My fiance raises Omega 3 all natural beef, would love to eat a burger!
Hmmm. For those of you who are doing MRC from a distance, I wonder if it would work to "skype" into the classes. All you need is a computer, webcam with mic, and internet. I'm sure each center could set up a laptop in their classroom with a webcam & mic... just a thought. Sorry--I'm kind of a techie, and I work pretty closely with the e-Learning supervisor in my district.
Anyway, I weighed myself at the gym tonight after yoga, and that scale showed me at 196. It's usually pretty close to the one at the center, so I'm really excited about that.
Stabilization seems to be going really well right now. It certainly makes me feel a little less deprived. I'm excited to start week 2 tomorrow. I have an appointment to weigh in and meet with my consultant tomorrow afternoon. Last week she didn't have time to go over all the paperwork with me, so she went ahead and started me on the first week and told me we'd go over everything next week (tomorrow, lol).

Here's to an OP week, all!
Don't weigh after working out! I was told your muscles expand and fill with water while you're working out so right after is not accurate. Always do it before.
Well, I have to say I was craving steak tonight so I went to Texas Roadhouse. Of course, it was so hard to resist the beautiful looking bread and yes, it was yummy. After that, I had to get wings and then... yeah, it spiraled so I had to come home and fix it as much as possible. My daughter really wanted to go to the playground, but that would be no work out for me so I convinced her to stay home, and I mowed. Let me tell you... I have not mowed since my teen years living with my parents... 15 years or so? Well, it took me a good 2 hours because it kept dying on me and needless to say, I am glad I didn't just come home and sit on my butt. I've also been trying to drink more water.
My next weigh in will be Wednesday evening... aside from tonight, I've been OP and working out every other day so far. I pray it shows!
Start the program tomorrow! Completely excited. Any big advice for the newbie? Looking forward to chatting with all of y'all
Welcome!
THe first couple weeks are the worst as far as cravings and feeling hungry go. Just remember, it's only for a little while--it does get better! Don't give up!
Also, it is normal to have your weightloss stall right around 2 weeks into it--this is totally normal, as your body is adjusting to what's happening. Don't let it bring you down! It will pass, I promise!
You will find wonderful support and advice here. I would have given up by the end of December if it weren't for the ladies on this board! Don't be afraid to ask for help.

Welcome! Buy the cookbook! There are a lot of good recipes in there and after about 1-2 weeks on the plan you start wanting something different. When you start on the HNS-buy some concentrates/gels. They are wonderful over shaved ice and save me when I have cravings and need a "treat".
I just have to say that on the metaslim program I made the AMAZING cheesecake for my breakfasts this week...can I say it IS absolutely AMAZING...who knew that cottage cheese and supplements could actually make something that good...also good to know that prob after done with program It could be made with jello/pudding almost the same way...sugar free of course! Struggled through the weekend tho...had some tortilla chips and salsa friday night...thinking the scale will be my enemy on wednesday....
I love the amazing cheesecake! And like you, I've always wondered if you could make it with something other than supplements... Hope your weigh-in is good!
Ok, for real this time. I'm back, and I'm determined.
I had graduation weekend (and was given cakes and cookies from friends and family, and shots while eating out)...let's say it was not MRC approved.
But now that my schedule is a bit normal, I'm totally back on track. I had to switch centers now that I've moved...but it should be ok. I think the change of pace and centers will help me stay on track too, as I won't have those "old faithful friends" at my old center who let me get away with excuses.
I will be checking in daily to stay on track. It is amazing that when I didn't check here when I came online (or didn't have time to be online) that it was so much easier to stray because I had no accountability. Thanks for being there!
Glad your back! You deserved a celebration after graduating!! Now you just have to make sure you get back focused on losing weight. Hope things go well at your new center.

Glad to know the support here is so helpful! I figured there would be a slump somewhere in there lol. I have a tendency to cheat when the going gets tough, so hopefully I can power through it this time.

Neat trick with the HNS, I was kind of wondering what all that is completely about but I guess I will find out more at the meeting on friday. I will definitely check out the cookbook. Thanks!
I've been totally swamped and MIA - but I hope you all are having a great week on program!
My summary: only went in once last week and gained a 1lb, not sure what the course is next, but I guess I'll find out when I weigh in this week. Also was able to get that Super Chocolate and make a brownie the other day it was super good!!!! Can't believe I can have that for my fruit!
