This is a new menu plan MRC has.. You write down all the foods you like and the ones you don't and they have a dietician they send it to and using the MRC guidelines they make up your menus for you for each meal. It is kind of neat.. It is kind of like the stabilization part of the plan. They told me they have people who have lost 3-5 lbs a week. I like it.. I signed on for another 17 weeks. I also see a therapist once a week too so that should help some.. You get more stuff like dairy and starches.. So it seems to work for me.. I will weigh in tomorrow and see if I lost anything this last week. I will let you know!

Cheers!

Big congrats to you Jamie!!! Thats a great milestone.

Thank you!

down 50lbs today! i'm only 4.6 lbs away from my original mrc goal. i am going on vacation next week, so my goal is to loose 2lbs before then and not get back into the 160s. i haven't been following the mrc diet exactly, but i use it as a guide. for the summer, it was just too restrictive for me. we go out a lot and have a lot of get togethers/ dinners/ bbq and it has been too hard to follow. this month i think i am really getting that this is a lifestyle change. i'm really conscious about what i eat now and i make good decisions for the most part. i may not be following the diet exactly, but what i have been doing is working for me now so i'm going to stick with it. i'm so grateful i found mrc and this forum when i did. this forum gives me so much motivation and knowledge. the mrc program is really what works for me, low carbs and being in ketosis, this program is a great foundation for me.as long as i am in ketosis i will still lose weight. i haven't had starches in a month. so i hope everyone is having a great summer and congrats to all who have lost and stayed on plan!

Yay!!! That is awesome, and whatever works for you is a good thing. You seem to have found a nice compromise -- congratulations!!!

I weighed in today, and was down 3.5 pounds, making my total 15 pounds in 4 weeks! =)

Weighed in today, another 2 lbs... at least I'm consistant! Down 17 lbs so far. Hopefully, slow means it sticks!

Down another 1.5 pounds today. I'm 3 shy of 20 pounds. Hoping I can do it this week!!!

I've hit a major plateau the last three weeks.. I've been the same weight for 3 weeks.. I even resisted cupcakes at my daughters bday party. I know my body will catch up, it's just frustrating. I even did metaquick last week, and that didn't help.

I'm going to be 100% On Program this week, and max out my HNS and water. Hopefully that'll help. I'm trying really hard not to get discouraged.
I hit 50lbs and have stuck there.. One meal at a time..

Meezoo...try shaking your meals up a little. Eat someting different that you don't normally eat...like it you always have ******** for lunch, eat something else. Sometimes just a change in menu can help push a plateau over. Don't get discouraged...I'm with ya. May was one long plateau for me. Totally frustrating. No idea if I'm going to show a big loss or just a normal one at this weeks' weigh in. I go in tomorrow. We'll see I guess. Hang in there!! We know if we stick to it we have to lose...it'll catch us sometime.

...still struggling..

Glad to see all of you who have lost weight this week! Way to go!

When do we start signing boards for weight loss? What's the first board? I lost 15.8 as of today and was just wondering. Thanks!

Junie ... you should have signed one at 10, most centers have them in 10# increments. Ask them!

Really? Awe, I wonder why they never mentioned it!

Thanks!
