I had about a month of not really following the diet. It started with a horrible week of eating on vacation. I gained ELEVEN pounds. Thankfully most of it was water weight and came off easily. Now, I'm back to steadily losing and don't ever want to do that again! It seems like I learned how to maintain though, which is good. I just don't want to maintain at 178!

I am feeling really good about myself, but I only have a month to lose 30 lbs. I doubt that will happen but I'm confident I can lose about half. Next week, hubby and I go camping near Rocky Mountain National Park. We'll have two major hikes and I'm planning the meals. It's hard though because he's gluten/dairy free and I'm sugar/(basically) carb free. I did find a low carb/dairy/gluten free peanut butter cookie I'm going to try. It's not going to be "on plan" but I know we'll need extra calories for hiking. I just don't want to binge on junk food like I did back in August (horrifying!).

Congratulations! That is great!

Hit 20 pound Mark!
 

Congrats to all who lost weight!

Skelley...WOO HOO girl! Keep it up!:hat:

We'll gals, I have a big announcement. I have lost a total of 21 pounds in 38 days! I can't believe it .:carrot::cp::bravo: I lost 2 and half pound this week. Listen to this. I didn't want to spend the money on Coritrim so I went to the health food store and bought Relora (For healthy coritisol levels) and I think it helped me lose and extra half pound. I had been losing only 2 pounds a week...But I will see if the extra weight loss continues next week!
I really want to get to my goal before Christmas!

Awesome! I have a question about the Relora - does it have a strong smell? Im asking because I ordered the Wonderlife Super Stress Complex and the smell is so strong when I open the bottle that I can't make myself take it.

Awesome job! congrats on your loss! Is Relora the same as cortitrim?

Thanks:)

It doesn't have a strong smell. I don't know how close it matches the ingredients of cortitrim.

How did you weigh in go, did you weigh in yesterday?

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend...

I tried something with an HNS that was enjoyable .. I took the blue raspberry HNS, ice, sweetener( I use stevia), you really don't need it, and a can of LaCroix Coconut water and a splash of coconut extract.. This was great!!! Enjoyed it. LaCroix comes in different flavors. The orange HNS with the Orange LaCroix would probably be nice.. This afternoon will try the Peach Mango with the Coconut LaCroix. I purchased LaCroix in Publix. It was where the sparkling water aisle. I am sure any supermarket would carry it, however did not find it in Walmart.

Thanks Patzi ..That is a great idea!

Skelley..I lost 2 and half pounds this week. I weigh in a Fridays, in the afternoon!The great thing was I had to go buy some new clothes. My old clothes were just so baggy and falling off!:cry:

NO, I AM NOT SAD..I AM DELIGHTED! IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE GETTING SMALLER!:carrot:
Finally I have found a program that works for me!!!

I was not very good this weekend. Friday night I had BBQ, bread and baked beans at a tailgate. Saturday was my son's birthday and I had birthday cake. But today was a new day. I ate on plan all day and drank as much water as I could. Hopefully I can reverse the damage before I go back to weigh in later this week.

Cmarty,

that's awesome congrats on the big loss! It's wonderful isn't it to actually find something that works!! I'm down a total of 14" and 23 1/2 lbs, only 17 more to go, yeah! They have my goal set for november the 12th, hope i make it. :carrot:

Hello! I'm jumping in to this community - looking for support - and ready, willing & able to give support. I've lost 100 pounds on MRC (started 11/21/11). I have 50 more to go and have found myself stuck and resisting. I need a little motivation shot to the booty - so here I am!!

I struggled this weekend too, pam. All we can do it get back on track...and my nice co-workers brought fresh bagels to a meeting this morning - which are my total downfall! :(
