Thanks ladies I just love looking at everyones before & after pictures, so I figured it was time to update mine. Have a great OP day!

WooooooooooHoooooooooooooooooooo You look to good for words!!!!!

Thanks Jstuckly!! I know, I spent SOOO much money on this as well. I told myself that I could do anything for at least 6 months ( the amount I signed up for). I know if works, I just have to stop "thinking" so much and just do it!!!!!!

You will do it, You took the bigest step and have lost like 20 pounds so far your doing great. I know you will make your goal and your inlaws will think there son married some other woman cuz u r going to be so sexy...

I have been fighting off a head ake all day today could it be cuz I have not had a soad in 3 days?????

It hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be. I notice that when my stomach starts growling its pretty close to time for an HNS anyway...and those really do help tide me over. Have to admit that I look forward to real food at dinner tho. Not so much because I'm hungry, but the shake tastes like cake batter - ewwww... I'm still drinking 4 HNS a day. Today is the last day for me. Yay!!
I asked if there was anything I could add to it at my center and they told me no. Ha! Next time I do this I will be armed with some diet soda! Thanks for the tip!


Donuts was the one who tipped us all off on the SeaThin I believe...so he deserves the nod. Don't you just wish that more of the pills were that size! I'd wouldn't mind taking 2 smaller ones compared to 1 big one - just hate those! LOL

WOW! You look beautiful! I hope you realize that!
Thank you.

CHEERILOOS - WOW! 7 pounds is awesome!!! CONGRATULATIONS!
JSTLUCKY - 2 pounds in 2 days is GREAT!!! Keep going!!!
Sounds good to me!! I wouldn't mind a 2-3 pound loss next week...that's what I use to average. So, that'd be awesome!!!! Thanks for the reply.
yep...probably
Of course you can do this... We're all in this same battle together! So, come here anytime you have a doubt!!! Look around you at some of the phenominal examples - and know that will be you, sooner than you think!

WOOHOO on that 4.5 lbs. Way to go! I'm glad this helped to pull you out of your slump. Try not to get discouraged. I know, easier said than done, but you can do this! YAY for getting out of the 170s! That's awesome!

Crystal..
I'm doing Metaquick again this week after my weekend getaway where I binged YET AGAIN! UGH! I had a bar for breakfast and a shake for lunch. For the vanilla you can add the diet rootbeer and crushed ice and maybe even some diet chocolate soda for a chocolately root beer float. You can also add a pineapple HNS and some rum extract for a pina colada. Oh, dangit. I have a list of vanilla shake ideas at home. I just put it away last night and now I need it. I'll look at it when I get home and post some more ideas for you. I hope this works for both of us this week.
I was about to say I could mail you some of the Tamxico ones from our Publix stores but they're refrigerated and I don't think they'd last long in the mail b/c of the heat! UGH! Sorry!
Yes, I feel like this QUITE often sorry to say! I'm not even sure it's a voice, but maybe just a feeling. What's another cracker gonna hurt, you know? It just plain sucks! Tell the voice to shut up and get back on track! That's all we can do. It's so hard to be consistent, but that's what we NEED to do!

I have no clue. I have the "fluff" too. I've been taking the CT the whole time and I still think my stomach is too "fluffy". I really don't know if it's working or not b/c I've never NOT taken the pills. However, there are people here who never take the MRC supplements and they do great too. I really think it depends on your body though. Some things work form one person and not another. Sorry, not much help!

Good luck. You've joined a great center and a wonderful support group!
YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!!


WOOOHOOOO!!! That's amazing. Let us know how it goes when you meet the founder!

Again!!! YOU LOOK WONDERFUL! HOW EXCITING!! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU! You look like a different person (well, except for that infectious smile of yours.


Update on me. Cheated all weekend. Dh and I went away to Sea World and Universal Studios (only 45 minute drive for us) and we stayed Friday to Sunday. I had a seafood buffet on Saturday night and I literally felt sick afterward. We went back to the hotel and walked on the elliptical (dh did the treadmill) and I felt a little better. I drank my diet tea today b/c I know I'm holding a bunch of crap in there and I'm doing Metaquick to get back on track. I feel like I'm always getting back on track. I'm going to take the advice of a really great friend here and make my list this week. Now I have to go find the post where it was mentioned! UGH! I REALLY Need to do this. My b-day party is 4.5 weeks away now and I have about 18 lbs (up from 15 probably) to lose.

Have a great day everyone.

Just got back from taking mom to the eye surgeon and WI will I was in Brunswick. I haven't Wi since 6/25, but I am down 5.6 lbs for a total of 57lbs. I signed the 55lb board and got an extra month on my contract because they closed my satellite office. I got measured today too and have lost 63.5 inches so far. WOOOHOOO!! I was hoping to be below the 220s, but maybe next week

Yeah Sharon!!! That is awesome!! You rock!!!!! You are such an inspiration for me!!!!!!!

Thanks Crystal!! I know I can, but sometimes I get off the wagon (not too bad), but enough to wish I were on W.W. again because of all the choices!!!! Makes me appreciate W.W., but at the same time, I know I'm eating much healthier now and I'm seeing good results. I just have to stay more focused. We are all in this together- thank goodness for this support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOl!! I would LOVE to show up there next June all thin!! That would be awesome!!!!!!! Man, I would love that!!!!!! Thanks for the encouragement!!!

Are we allowed to use the low sodium taco seasoning? If so, the whole package for a 1lb of meat, or what proportion?
Thanks!

This is great advice about using the slow cooker with squash. I never thought of doing it that way thanks.

Congratulations!!! You are doing great!
