  • Quote: i've been lurking too, i've been on mrc since mid sept. at my first weigh in i had lost 4 pounds (started at 210.5). then at the next weigh in i was on my period and was up 3 pounds. i've noticed that each time i am on my period i tend to be up a couple pounds so maybe thats it for you too.
    your retaining water in this time. Try upping your water after you period you should see a good loss..

    Slow down hunny,
    1. there where post a long time ago about gaining when it your time of the mo. and when this time comes you need to up your water,
    2. what time of the day do u have WI? as we talked about doing in the AM before food and water is the best time
    3. if you r working out you really must up that water!!!!! did the center tell u to?
    4. you are going be ok I know it, take a deep breath you can do this and you will do this!
    Yeah I have been drinkinga lot of water as of right now its 12:30 and Ive drank 80 ozs not including my HNS.

    I WI at 1pm before lunch our center doesnt open till 9 and i have to be to work by 9 so there is no way for me to WI before i eat anything.

    Yeah I told them how much was drinking and stuff they said that was great.

    They called me yesterday afternoon and went over everything with me again and said next time I come in they want to do another body comp thing sorry can't remember the name i know it starts with a T lol see if has changed!

    Thanks! I think starting right when tom showed up was not a good idea for many reasons LOL

    Oh ya I am taking b6 for water rention so I would have thought I wouldnt have been retaining that much water! guess we will see
  • Jenny2634, I know it's because of your period. I can't wait to see your weight loss Next week. I bet it will be awesome and you'll have a smile on your face. Just keep following the plan and it will work for you! I was told by my center (my 1st time around) to not exceed 4 hours of exercise per week. Just an FYI, you may want to ask how much next time you go in. Good Luck, your doing great!!
  • Yes but when TOM comes your body can go crazy!!!!! how many HNS do you take? Do you have a scale at home? If you do on WI days when you get up after you go to the bathroom weigh your self(I know they tell you not to but I am makeing a point) then go to WI then at night before bed weight your self again you will see how your body changes all day long. Thats why I stick to the 1st thing in the am WI,
  • Quote: Ok, quick question....I am not much of a cook can you explain to me how you do a scrambled egg w/cheese in the microwave? I have never heard of that before, but sounds easy and fast!
    You just crack an egg in a microwave safe bowl. Add your cheese (I use shredded cheddar), use a fork and mix it all up. Then cook it for 1 minute. Very easy! Put your toast in the toaster while the egg is cooking and WaLa!

    Very true, I started with 3 but upped it to 4 they said I could do 5 but gosh for money reasons and I dont know that I could do that many LOL I'm going to try and stay with 4. I do have a scale at home and I do actually WI on it (shhh) and it says I weight 3lbs less then what theirs says
  • So, I'm feeling great today! I know I have only lost 3.6lbs so far but before I started I had just bought a size 16 because my pants were so tight...Anyhow today they are feeling loose already. I can't wait to put on my 14's! I notice I am standing up straighter too and a smile of my face...What a difference a little positive thinking can do...It can change your whole life!

    Your doing great,
  • Hello everyone! I started with MRC about two weeks ago. I lost 6 lbs in preconditioning and now have put back on 1. They put me on the Meta-Balance plan instead of Meta-Slim. They are telling me you can only lose 2lbs a week on this. Is this true? Has anyone lost more on this? I think it may be the dairy. Thank you for your help. I am making a lifestyle change and working towards a goal of a anniversary trip with the hubby.
  • I am getting my food plan tomorrow and will be on the Meta Balance. Its sounds (and I am not sure yet) that yes we might loose a little slower on this but we get snacks in between meals!!! I am all for a snack.

    My friend is doing the Slim and she gets her HNS between meals and no snacks.

    I was a little disapointed at first that they wanted me to do balance but we get dairy on it and I for one love me some soy milk (hope that is included!).

    Good luck to everyone!
  • Does anyone know how to make my picture show up?

    Can I ask why theyput you on the meta balance? how much is it to get to your goal?
  • They put me on Meta Balance because I have IBS and my doc wouldn't sign off on the Meta Slim. I am going in to talk with my Dr tomorrow. Originally it was 52 lbs to get to my goal now they are saying I will only lose about 34 lbs. Still good but I had my heart set on the other.

    I've done Metaslim all along and I'm sure my average on it hasn't been over 2 pound/week....it's been slow but sure. Stay persistent. You'll get there.
