Congratulations to everyone! I lost another 2.5, which brings me up to 10 in 2 weeks. Its TTOM, too, so I didn't expect a loss at all since I usually stall or even gain. I'm excited for my next WI since that water weight should be gone.

It's nice to know that being hungry may lead to something nice. I've had the hardest time the last few days with craving things. I've been pretty good, but it's been rough. I don't know if it was PMS or my husband being on vacation (eating routine is out of whack, plus I have to cook for him twice a day instead of once). Hopefully next week will be easier once things go back to normal again.

You too, Jen.

Every little bit gets us closer to goal!

Good luck this morning, coarkkayaker!

I always draw encouragement when I see the losses everyone else has had. So I'm doubly glad when someone on here loses. It's so inspiring!

Thank you and I agree. Seeing everyone's losses helps keep me on track and motivated!

tkdtara84 That is an awesome loss!

Well, I had my WI. Bad news is that I didn't lose any, but good news is that I didn't gain any either. And I even got a bonus because we took measurements and I've lost 29.5 inches in a month! YEA!!!

coarkkayaker.. Ok to maintain for one week.. My goodness, great loss of inches in that short amount of time..

tkdtara84..Awsome lost in two weeks... If you are craving , bring up to consultant, she will go thru your journal with you to see if there is a trigger for it. So many times, my consultant has found something in my journal that I eliminated that took care of cravings, although TOM will do it.

Teacher lady, I am going thru up a few, then maintain on maintenance. I just go thru journal and eliminate the new item I tried, have tried Meta Quick and the blue menu.. and it has worked for me.. Are you right at goal, or did you give yourself a few pounds to play with here and there? I went 5 under goal. My consultant told me I was becoming too upset when I gained and I told her, yes, I am, as I don't want to get back to where I am having to be back OP . When I go up 2 pounds,something inside happens to me, hard to explain, but as long as I can get it off,I am fine. Hope you lose next weigh in what you gained.

Congratulations to all the losers.. Have a wonderful day.

My goal was 191, and I got down to 188 by the end of stabilization, so I do have some room to play. My "healthy range of fluctuation" that we decided on was actually 190-198, so I'm still within/below that, as well. So, I'm not too upset about being up 2lbs (over a period of almost 2-3 weeks), but I want to make sure I don't gain more. So, I guess I'll just have to be a little more strict/careful this week.

I do have to say, though, that it is a lot easier when we have a little "breathing room" by being under goal!

WI at lunch and down another pound since Monday. That makes 2.5 pounds for the week. :yay:

Well it is official . . . I finally signed the 40 lb board. My body has been fighting this for a few weeks, so it felt really good to finally hit that goal. I am down 40.5 lbs total.

Contrats to all the losers and maintainers and just hang in there and stay OP, the weight will come off.

Congrats momoffour and all the other losers!

coarkkayaker 07-13-2011 11:42 PM

Jen - that victory just got 2.5 pounds closer. Outstanding!

Momoffour - You're an inspiration. Congratulations!

Dolly 07-14-2011 04:28 AM

That's wonderful, Mariah! 2.5 lbs. is a great loss!

JenB, ride the wave, girl.

teacherlady, can't wait to get some "breathing room." You look great. I hope the second phase of your plan comes to fruition this year.

patzi 07-14-2011 06:14 AM

Momoffour...
Yeah for you.. You are such an inspiration, Mariah.. You are so dedicated to your program and look where you are.. Happy you signed the board as I know how much this means to you.

Teacherlady..
Glad you have some breathing room.. My downfall is the carbs and some of the fats , like peanut butter. May I ask how many HNS you are taking on maintenance? I have come down to two, and one if I take a creamy. They want me to take 3, but I want to try and not take all that and am trying to wean off some of supplements and just eat real food only. Will let you know how I make out as time goes on.Only supplements I have ever taken is MRC-6,Cortitrim, Fat & Carb blocker, only when eating out and Phentatrim only if I feel a craving coming, and will get off that when bottle is gone, as I do not use that often.

Congrats to all the losers, and for any having a problem, stay OP, as I promise the weight will come off if you dedicate yourself to the plan.

Y'all have a nice day.

Has anyone tried the super veggie/fruit powder? I was wondering if it was any good. Some people at my center really like the mint flavor and I am very hesitant to try this.
