Patzi, Did they say if stabilization will be like a yoyo while figuring out your triggers? I mean... is that how it works or do they expect you to pretty much stay at one weight while they add in the other foods? I hope this doesn't sound rude or anything, I am just curious.
Congrats on another pound lost! (If you are still wanting to lose, that is. lol)
Goalbound..
Would love to lose a few more pounds, but I did not tell center that, as towards the end, where I was on a stall, they wanted me to buy more weeks, and I refused, as I bought more weeks when I did not meet goal when they told me, so when I hit the goal figurevthey had, I went on stabilization.
I was told there are ups and downs in stabilization, and they did not want me to go over 2 pounds, if I did, would have to address it. Starches and fruit are a real trigger for me, so I have been careful to choose the low cal fruit like berries, vs. high sugar fruit like bananas, and only starch I did add was beans. The day I eat the extra starch, I do not have the extra fruit. I was told to add the starch and fruit three times a week, so I alternate. I would never think of adding popcorn for the starch, as I am allowed a cup, and I know I would get in trouble with that. I could eat the whole bag. LOL.
So we shall see. There are 6 weeks of stabilization, and really would like to lose a bit more, if not goal weight is fine. If any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Hi... When I go out, I call restaurant first and ask them if they can grill some fish for me, and steam veggies plain, and that has never been a problem.Even when I don't call, I find a restaurant that serves chicken, fish, meat dishes wil do this for me.. I also order a side salad, and use one of their lite dressings, or just some oil and vinegar,light on oil. I bring an HNS, and put that in my glass of water, and bring melba toast with me.
Center has suggestions for Outback,Olive Garden, Italian Restaurants, Steakhouses, etc.. If you are interested in anything in particular, here is the list I have, I can tell you what they suggest
Casual Dining, bar & grills
Italian,Steakhouses, Seafood, Mexican, Asian, Indian.
I will check back later to see if I can be of any more help here.
To give you an idea, if you go to Olive Garden, they suggest you order the Venetian Apricot chicken, tell them no sauce, with steamed broccoli, no butter and do not eat the breadsticks..
Hi...
Is there anywhere on the forum that I can look at the two meal plan. I do not mean the Meta Quick, but the two meal plan. I wish I was told about this previously, as I travel lots and this would have been great..

I believe someone scanned it in under the post titled "anyone on the 2-meal plan". I received the paperwork today and all the food choices are the same as the other Meta-Slim plans.
Breakfast - You have to eat breakfast
1. Protein from group 1 or group 3 (either 4 oz or 6 oz - whatever level you were on on the other plan)
2. Starch (1 serving - same list)
3. Veggies (4oz cooked or 8 oz raw)
4. Fruit (1 serving - same list as before)
and an HNS
Snack HNS
(can have a second HNS if eating dinner instead of lunch)
Either Lunch or Dinner (dinner is recommended)
1. Protein - 1 serving from group 3 or group 2 (Twice a week)
2. Starch - 1 serving
3. Veggies (4oz cooked or 8 oz raw)
HNS
Snack HNS
You are required to use 4 HNS daily - and I can have up to 5 (this might depend on your weight) up to 3 fiber drinks are optional.
This is less actual food so many people do feel hungrier on this plan (per my consultant) The HNS can be moved around a bit depending on which meals you are eating.
I'm excited about having fruits and veggies with my breakfast in the morning and I really don't mind some hunger. I do plan on using several HNS that I can eat rather than drink and picked up some sugar-free gum. You can use bars and shakes just like with the other plans.

NSV! (and I've been needing those as I've plateaued the last couple of weeks)...
I came home to visit family for my Spring Break. We went shopping and I bought several M tops and was able to buy much more from boutiques than ever before. Boutiques before were (find a blousey...loose top and hope the L fits...) didn't have to worry this time!
Also....my mom gave me a pair of jeans she didn't like...and they fit! Yup...I can now wear my mom's clothes! Woohoo!!
I will be back home Sunday and get to weigh in next week....hopefully I will have a victory there too!

I can't wait to go shopping at boutique type stores and actually have choices about what I want to buy. Congrats! You are such an inspiration.

I am so happy for you... You are doing so well, and isn't it a wonderful feeling to be able to buy new clothes in smaller sizes. I know where you are coming from, as I am finally out of those tunic type tops and wearing a top, where I don't have to hide the fat. And the jeans, too.. Woohoo is right. Enjoy this moment, it is wonderful and you deserve it.
