WOOHOOO!!!!! That's awesome. I hope my 4 day MQ diet will do the same for me. Actually, I need it to be 7 lbs, not 3! I gained 4 over my weekend binging and I want to lose 2.5 more so I'm at 40lbs lost! I think I lost 2 of the 4 already. If I can do 2 more today and another 2 by the end of the week I'll be @ 132.5! I'll let you know ! Congrats again.

Thank you for the kinds words and encouragement. I need it! I posted the shake recipes in the recipe thread.

Girl ck out your pics..... o my Girl you look great!!!!!!!!! You should be the poster child for MRC.... Keep up the great work and the great support!!!!!!

Just a quick post - busy day. Made the "Orange Delite" (pg 211 of MRC cookbook) for lunch - OH MY GOODNESS! It was so yummy. It tastes just like an orange sherbert smoothy. I'll post the recipe on the recipe thread.

hey- can anyone tell me about the low sodium taco seasoning. How much is ok to use?
Thanks,
Missy

You use two tablespoons of the low sodium taco mix. I ususally mix my ground turkey meat, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder 1 of onion powder, the two tablespoons of taco mix, Chop green onion and bell pepper and mix it all together, with the meat and cook it in a non stick frying pan add water after it browns and let it simmer for 20 or thirty mintues until the vegatables are done the add raw tomato when I put it on my tortilla or 20 cal corn tortillas.
Hope this helps. I have found this is one of the foods that has helped me through this program because I love tacos and burritos and this is I try to have it once a week. I now can have it at lunch so I add shredded cheese to it just a little. I am on stabilization now.

Congrats to all the losses! You guys are doing great!

I had a WI in today as well and lost another 2lbs! It feels so good to see the scale move! I think it's getting easier for me to resist certain foods, or maybe it's just that I've accepted what I'm allowed to eat now. I'm still looking forward to the day I can eat a bowl of ice cream again (ok - a small bowl?) Please tell me I'll be able to do that again...please?

I also ran across something in Bakers/Krogers today that I've never seen before. I think they'd be legal - but I'm not going to ask MCR (they don't want us to have any fun)- I'm just gonna have them occasionally for a treat.
They are called Heavenly Desserts Meringues
serving size is 10 (they're pretty small)

They come in chocolate, lemon, cappuccino, strawberry, & vanilla - although I only found the chocolate and vanilla. They are SOOOOO GOOD! At least the vanilla are, haven't tried the chocolate. Kinda interesting though - on the box it says EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION MAY HAVE A LAXATIVE EFFECT - hmmmmm how much exactly is "Excessive"??

Hi, everyone- I'm back from a birthday vacation with my family in beautiful Glenwood Springs, Colorado. And, yes, I DID get in my swimsuit and play with my kids at the pool. I wore a cover up, but it was more for protection from the sun than to hide myself. THANK YOU for encouraging me to do that- I have no regrets.

Had WI this morning and am down a total of 7 pounds since starting the program on June 30th. Pretty good, considering my pathetic excuse for a metabolism and the fact that I was surrounded by FOOD for the past week. I splurged and had a cupcake on my 40th birthday, but other than a few little cheats, did pretty darn well. A lot of that has to do with this forum. I really missed it and was excited to catch up today (took me an hour- you are all very prolific in your writing!).

Anyway- way to go on the continued weight loss, everyone. Keep it up!!

Good for you! I'm so glad you enjoyed your family & your vacation time! Way to go on the 7lb loss too - it's especially hard to stay OP when you aren't at home.

Momofboys- Thanks! And I have to tell you- I really enjoy your posts. You crack me up- great sense of humor!! Way to go on your weight loss- you've done so well and only been on the program for a little over a month. You should be so proud of yourself!

Last time I was in the center the consultant gave me the green menu, but she didn't explain it and I didn't take time to look at it until today. It looks like the only changes are a drop in the allowed protein (6 oz to 4 oz) and I only have to drink 2 HNS instead of 3. Is that correct? Is the total allowable HNS 4 or 5? Is there any change to the number of creamies allowed in a week?
