Hi little edie - it is my understanding that you can do it 7 days straight or do a few days here and there - just as long as you don't do more than 7 days in a month. Good luck!

I'm trying the chocolate shakes for the first time tomorrow - I hope they're good...and filling!

Today marks 150 days OP and I got measured and have lost a total of 65 inches! I just can't believe it. I lost 8.25 inches in the last month, 7 of which came from my bottom half which is exactly where I want/need to lose! I'm very excited at that fact because I've been doing the C25k program (on week 5) and that just proves that it works! Just had to share.

Way to go noahsmoma! 65 inches is awesome, I only have to lose another 54 inches to catch up to you..lol Be proud of your accomplishments all of your hard work is paying off.

Ok I am new to the diet and forum what is C25k? I've done a pretty good job of figuring out some of the lingo but not all.

The C25k is a running program to get you from the Couch to running a 5k. There is a thread for those doing MRC and also doing the C25k.

Here is the link to the thread.

just came back from a WI and i am down 3.5 lbs

for some reason when driving back it hit me all of a sudden that i lost 16, SIXTEEN, S I X T E E N pounds in 23 days. Call me a softie, but i started crying like a little baby.

I know this is nothing compared to all of you great people here, but for me its a big deal, a very big deal.

just wanted to get that out of my system.

awwwwww good for you!!

Way to go!!

I don't think anything is strange about you crying.....I think when I see 179, I'll start crying at the center! I don't know if I'll make it to the car! Haven't seen that number in 5-6 yrs! I think your victory is awesome and I can't wait to shed tears of my own! ")

Don't apologize! That's huge!! Congrats and keep up the great work!

Way to go! That's amazing progress!

agreed, i think by the time i finally bid adieu to my 180s (seriously, it's taking FOREVER), i will be so overcome that i'll undoubtedly do something embarrassing--cry, hoot & holler, whatever.

Thanks all I set my self a goal, i am going for 20 lbs in 30 days. I will be travelling alot in October, so i am worried October wont be as good as this month was, but first things first, 7 days to go, 4 lbs. i am gonna DO this!

I just started taking ADWL yesterday and yowza can I tell a difference in energy and also my appetite. I didn't even sleep well last night...it kept me up. I'm hoping I get used to it and don't continue to have a sleep problem. Was anyone else affected this way??

This is such an emotional journey. Great job! Go ahead and cry, let out any of those feelings that have been bottling up inside.

I couldn't get to sleep last night either.

I started taking ADWL and Liquid Minerals (in pill form) at the same time...I wonder which one it is that's keeping me up.
