Just Saying "Hello"
 

Hello!

I'm new to MRC... just joined Tuesday. I have about 71 pounds to lose, so hopefully this will go okay. My husband lost 115 pounds utilizing their program four years ago and he's doing awesome still! We just didn't have the money to do it before... I felt like he should get healthy first.. but now, it's my turn!

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself. You guys have a been a big help in signing up already as I have been "lurking"...

:welcome2:

Good Luck with your journey!

Happy to have you join us!

Welcome! I just found this site myself not long ago, and it has been very helpful :) It is always great to have the support of others doing the same journey. You are not in it alone!! How neat that your hubby has done it also...having the support of eachother is huge!!

Good luck!

Tami

I hope you find the ladies here as helpful as I have.

Welcome Rachel!!

115 lb loss?! Wow, you have the greatest role model and motivator living with you! How exciting that it's Your Turn!! He's been there and understands what you're going to go through. You'll do GREAT!!

Join us on the August Thread, it's a wonderfully motivating bunch of women.

Keep us posted. Wish you much success!

Good luck on your weight loss journey! You will love this board!!! It definitely helps keep you on track and you can always get an answer, even when you can't get to the center.

Thanks, guys... So far, I guess it's been doing well. I started the actual pre-conditioning on 8/24 and weighed in yesterday (8/30) and had lost 5 lbs - 2.5 at each WI.

I feel pretty good, except for today being TIRED! My husband is an awesome man. I've been blessed that he's not pushy but supportive... most nights he even grills my chicken and/or fish for me!

I appreciate the support!

It certainly helps having our husbands support....mine is that same, and eats the same things I do. That has made a huge difference in my personal journey :) I would recommend you purchasing the MRC cookbook...there are a variety of recipes in there that are yummy! On my own, I wasn't creative enough to put meals together...so this book took the "boring" out of what I eat everyday!

Good luck!

Tami

Welcome, Rachel.

This board is always great for inspiration and tried and true experiences with MRC.

That's wonderful news about your husband. Maybe he can post occasionally and give us some tips.

Hey Rachels, we have very similar stats...see my tracker below. I'm getting very close to hitting my 70lb mark. As you know the program works, you just have to stay focused and do it. And when you stumble...just get back up!
You're gonna do great!
