I seem to have hit a plateau!! Can't seem to get out of the 200s and my body is holding on for dear life. I spoke with my counselor this morning and she recommended I eat fish, veggies and berries for the next three days to shake things up a bit, and eliminate the starches. I have been drinking 4-5 HNSs a day! I sure hope this works. Getting a little frustrated but staying encouraged!! :(

Hang in there, nvogue... plateaus are totally common (and frustrating!) Often, changing up your diet a bit does work. For me, steering clear of tomatoes and cheese for a few days does the trick. Also, if I eat tuna for a few lunches, I just feel better.

WI today & I am down another 4 lbs! got my 30# stone :)

Angela - that's great! I'm hoping for my 30 lb stone today but it may not happen. I ran out of tuna a few days ago and I think it may have affected my weight. We'll see.

Rwquilts, I am looking for ideas for tuna for lunch when I need something quick. How do you prepare your tuna? I need to check the cookbook as well to see if there are some ideas in there?

Thanks..

Angela, I just put it on a salad. The foil packs are 2.6oz, so I add 12 almonds or 1/2 oz of cheese to it. My favorite salad has 1/2 cup of blueberries also.

Fat/Carb Blockers
 

Has anyone or is anyone taking the MRC Fat and Carb blocker? If so do you find that they help?

Hi, i see we are about the same on the program, what part of georgia are you from? i have a good friend that lives in Auburn, GA. But to answer your question about the yellow/blue menu i didn't lose as much as i thought i would on the yellow/blue menu, i'm on the green right now, i started on 7/16/12 and as of 8/17/12 i've lost 12 lbs which doesn't seem much to me but she said im on track at 2.4lbs loss a week,i've lost 4.3% body fat and 11 inches, i just got the fat/carb blocker to try, we'll see how it goes.

Great job aw82797!!!!

Well I go WI today, I'm expecting to be up a few pounds, it was a rough weekend. My 17 yr old decided she was grown and knew everything and that noone could tell her what to do anymore, so last Thursday she ran away from home. Luckily I guilted the girl she was with enough into telling us where she was on Saturday night. Ugh teenagers. I am still angry. I have worked fairly hard at not emotionally eating but this was just too much for my will power to withstand and I caved a little, well 3 chicken enchiladas and a piece of bacon little. So I wont be surprised at the scale today :dizzy:

Hey Skelley.
I live in southern Georgia. I started on July 28...as August 17 I had lost 12 pounds. I started the green menu on the 17th. Good luck! I'll keep in touch with you.

Barbiegirl , They do grow up eventually..hang in there...Jump back on the wagon...we all fall out sometimes!

thanks everyone, I mainly eat chicken cause tuna is so dry and I don't really know what to do with it lol

Barbiegirl - I know what you are going thru. When mine was 18,(still in school though) she decided she knew what was best for her. Took off to Texas(we are in Tennessee). Without her cell phone. Thought I was gonna die. They do eventually get better. My daughter is almost 21 now. Try and get back on track. Hope things get better quickly.

Hugs, Barbiegirl - So sorry you are going through this. Hang in there and try to get the support to help you and your daughter... Use the resources available (including the support here) to help you stay on track. Don't beat yourself about the slip-ups. Try to eat on-plan as much as possible and get some rest and drink your water.
