I did it!!! I made it through last nights gathering without having pizza!!! .... or brownies, or cookies, ....... I had 2 plates of salad (with oil and vinegar) and pineapple. I am so proud of myself! I CAN DO THIS!!!! Thank you all for your help and tips. I decided it was up to me if I really want to lose this weight and each positive decision, no matter how easy or hard, is going to help me get there.
I weigh in tomorrow for the first time so I will let you know if my choices paid off. I also have food instruction tomorrow so I am excited for that.
Have a great day everyone!!

Way to go Wendi!

Yay Wendi!!

Nabeel - I'm in! Lets get out of these 50s. I'm gonna have to lose almost 5lbs I think to do it, but I could do that, right? Who knows. I'm gonna stick to plan, get my water in (which i haven't been good about) and buckle down this week to do the best I can.

Way to go Wendi! I think we must have started at the same time b/c I have my instructional class tomorrow too! Good luck to you.

Went and faced the music today.. I was expecting a gain, but it was only 1/2 a lb. Not bad for being on Vacation.. I went to the grocery store last night and am all stocked up. Time to get back to the basics..

Hvnly.. Hang in there.. Salt is a big thing for me too.. I hold water like crazy.. My Martha Stewart friend is skinny minny... She could stand to gain weight.. I'm not sure how she eats like that and is still skinny.. Wish I had that metabolism..

Have a great Memorial Weekend everyone... See less of you next week.

Thank you Joanie and Debi. I am already seeing how great you all are.

Meezoo...join Nabeel and i as we move on out of the 50s...we're all in it together...we'll get out of it together! Those metabolism girls drive me insane. Ugh.

I'm in.. I'd love to see 60!!!

I'm throwing out good 60's vibes to you three...YOU CAN DO IT!

Just wanted to share that at weigh-in today (my first by the way) I was down 5 1/2 pounds!!!!!!!!! WOOOHOOOO! I am super excited..... I know that most of it is water weight, but I'll take it just the same. I am starting the meta-slim tomorrow for 4 days so send some positive energy this way for me please. I was thinking that with the holiday weekend I may as well get a jumpstart on the 4 days and not wait to start on Monday.
I hope you all have a happy and healthy weekend!

Junie04.... how did your instructional class go? I got some good info from it and stocked up on the HNS's. I can't wait until I am able to enjoy a chocolate pudding!
Keep up the good work.

Wow wendinnc, that's a great weigh in!

I just had my 2nd weigh in this week which put me at 3.5 lbs in the week (WHICH is a big loss for me) This put me at 31 lbs down so I got to sign the 30# board and 31# is exactly my halfway point!

CONGRATS!!!!!!

That is so exciting! And good for you for not waiting till after the holiday..you'll be ahead of the game! I've been on MRC for about a month and I'm extremely pleased with the results. I lost 20 inches over my entire body and 5 in my waist alone. You'll have tough times...but just keep your focus and rely on this board for support between visits to MRC.
Sending lots of positive energy your way!!!

Congratulations! You are halfway there!!!
