Congrats on all the weight loss, getting back on track and staying on track everyone!

I weighed in this evening and down 2 more pounds! I'm getting so close to being under 200 lbs. Everyone (including myself) is really beginning to see the loss and it feels great.

Yay us!! :grouphug:

I agree! Yay us!

I'm in Arkansas too! I'm near North Little Rock.

I'm in the Northwest corner, up near Fayetteville/Bentonville area, too bad we aren't closer or we could do some classes together!

Thanks all! I needed those encouraging thoughts!

That's a shame, but it's still pretty cool that we are in the same state. Went for my weigh in and I'm down 2.5lbs! That's the most I've lost yet...13lbs total now!

:bravo: corisimo!! I know you've been a bit down with the low loss ratio but look at your hard work....cuddos to you!

Dcar keep your chin up, I'm glad to hear you are moving forward too! It's what we all have to keep in mind....keep on keeping on (woah showing my age with that quote :D ). I also notice you are an Arkie too, woohoo!

Weighed in tonight and -.5 down... I can see the 190's!!!

How was your week everyone? How is your weekend looking, any big plans?

Hello Everyone,

I'm back at MRC having done this a few years ago and then didn't follow through with maintenance so I need to complete this wonderful program.

I'm very motivated, but also calmer than I was before. Something tells me I will succeed this time.

I've been on this wonderful board before, too, so I look forward to all the encouragement I know exists here. I also hope to help a little when I share my experiences.

Have my first real challenge this afternoon. Going to a pitch-in at my sister's house. Lot's of wonderful food will be there but I'm packing my own healthy meal. I'm also cooking appetizers that everyone else will enjoy but aren't my favorites, lol.

Just getting through this one day at a time.

Dolly,
Welcome back! How did your day go at your sister's yesterday?
I think it's important for all of us to hear about the importance of maintenance with this program, so thank you for that reminder. While I am FAR from that point, I can see where it would be easy to think that you could maintain on your own after being so successful on the program.

Weekend going pretty good. I was out shopping all day Saturday and forgot my HNS. That really makes a difference in my hunger level! Was starving by the time I got home. Won't leave home without them again!
Hope everyone else had a good weekend.

Down 5 pounds so far on precondtioning....water weight or not, I will take it :) Start the real test next Thursday but have decided to work on the emotional side of my eating as well. If I don't cure that, it will just come back and once I lose it, I don't want to find it again!

Good luck this week!

Down 1.5 today which is great since I am so close to my goal and I am losing more slowly now! Only 2.5 to go till I hit my goal of 145!!!I am trying to make it by the 25th, which is when the stabilization party is

I weighed in today and was surprised I lost anything! I'm down another 1.5 today. My best friend's mother passed this weekend and as a result when I did eat I cheated :( Only 13 more pounds to go! This was the only good thing I've heard all weekend.

Wow so fun seeing you gals so close to your goal weight! Can't wait for you to join me in the maintenance thread! Congrats to all of you!

Keylani, where are you? Come back!

Made it through another day OP!

I guess I should wait until I've actually slept and not cheated in the middle of the night. But I was absolutely starving today and stuck to the plan. That's a great feeling. Like Dcar I think it was the HNS that saved me.

I wish the Center would open at 7 instead of 9. I really prefer to weigh in the morning and am working at 9 so I have to get my weigh-in on my day off. I feel if MRC opened from 7a to 7p just one day a week they would get more business and more people likely to weigh in and stay on track.

Peg,

thank you for asking. I did great at my sister's pitch in. But of course I'm still starting new and freshly motivated ;) Two months from now it might be a differenet story.

Congrats to all who lost!
