Welcome Maryann!!

Cmarty good luck tomorrow as well, they put me at 147 but just realized that i'm 5'7 and you're 5'6, but we are doing this aren't we!!! Yeah!!! I look forward to seeing your post!

Okay now for the good news first: I lost 2.6 lbs YAY!!! then here comes the bad news, my goal date is 11/12/12 which is this coming monday so the counselor i met with told me that since i didn't reach my goal weight i couldn't go onto stabilization that i could re-enroll for 10 or 17 more weeks. Now she said they are having a black friday special and it would be 1/2 price. I'm 5.4 lbs from my goal and they want me to sign up for 10 to 17 more wks???? I agreed to the 10 wks and gave them a check for $69 which is half price, but they can't actually run it thru because it won't start until next week. So i got some HNS drinks and left bummed!! I can reach my goal in like a wk or 1 1/2 wks for sure, why would i sign for 10 more weeks, the more i thought about it i called my center back and told my counselor to tear up my check and that i wasn't going to sign up for another 10wks that i was so close i would finish on my own. My question to here was " Now i'm done right" she said no when you come in next week we will set up your appt to start stabilization "WHAT", i was told when i was there i couldn't start stabilization until i reached my goal, so i'm thinking why did she tell me i had to renew, was it just to get more money?? Well i'm glad i called back and changed my mind because now i can be even closer to my goal by next saturday and start stabilization after all! Sorry this is so long but i was really bummed!!!

just had an incredible Vanilla Bean Torte Syntrax shake w/ a sprinkle of cinnamon and ice blended in the GE mini blender... i did take one ginger snap (Not OP) and crumbled on top - YUM!!!!!!!!! my next shake, i'm blending w/ a bit of pumpkin spice and cinnamon

Sounds yummy bigdog!

Skelley, I'm shocked that you were told you would have to pay more. I was at least 6 lbs from my goal when I started stabilization almost 5 weeks ago and just tonight reached my goal. I have one more week of stabilization, and I have lost every week so far. I would really like to lose a few more pounds to give me some wiggle room.

rwquilts Yes i was too because i had asked before if i hadn't reached my goal by the day they specified what whould happen and i was told then that sometimes our bodies just tell us when it thinks enough is enough, but then today it was a total different story, but when i called and said i wasn't going to pay for ten more weeks she told me they would set up my appt for stabilization when i came in next week so I was kind of confused. Why do they set up a appt?

How is it going for you on stabilization?

I just started today and can use any words of encouragement that you can offer. Can't wait to lose this spare tire of mine!

Hi agian! It's been a while since I've posted but I've been reading your posts. Congrats to everyone on the weight loss. You ladies encourage me!

I've been up a pound and then down a pound or two for the last few weeks. Birthdays, halloween and stress from work have not been kind! I'm ready to get back on track. I only have 11 pounds to go. I know it's going to be hard with the holidays but I'm going to try!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hi Yall, we'll I ve started losing again finally. I lost 2 and half pounds this week. For all the newbies ..stay in the fight ..it is well worth it a nd it will pay off!

Just wanted to see my new numbers!!

I can wear a nice belt with my jeans...and I can see my waist again! MY boobs look larger now that my stomach is going away! Ok girls...this is really worth it!

wow congrats cmarty you are doing awesome! I was told yesterday that next week when i come in they will set up my appt for stabilization! I'm not going to buy another 10wks since i didn't his my goal weight which should be monday, not sure i can lose 5 lbs in three day but next sat when i go weigh in i should be pretty darn close, i lost 2.5lbs this week. I saw on the maintainers post that when some went into stabilization they still lost more lbs so i'll hit my goal if not go past it during that time! Hope to see you there soon!

Congrats Skelley!

Hey if I were you I wouldn't pay them another dime. Go on stabilization..but just stay on the old diet and lose weight ..if you want to lose more..
I 'll come close to meeting my goal too...I'll probably just tell them to put me on stabilization...but I'll continue on the green menu until I get to where I want to be!

I am very proud of you...hope to be with ya soon! Keep in touch!

Thanks cmarty: hey that's a good idea, never thought of that, so glad you mentioned it! I just couldn't believe the one counselor told me i couldn't go on stabilization until i met my goal but them when i called back and told them i wasnt' paying for more time they said i could start it. Geez! Look forward to seeing you in stabilization! thanks so much for your support!

Seems like a ghost site now, i'm sure everyone is getting ready for the holidays up and coming! Sure miss seeing you all!
