Had a great NSV today. We went shopping for rain pants for our motorcycle ride. They were sold out of everything but an extra small pants and it takes 2 days to get an order in - I'm leaving really early Tuesday morning. I was really disappointed because the chances of me hitting rain in Washington State are pretty high and I didn't think getting rain pants would be that big of a deal. I held up the extra smalls and said no way! The guy at the store told me to just try them on because they have elastic in the waist - seriously - they looked like they were made for little kids. I relunctantly took off my bike boots in the middle of the store and thought - this will be embarassing as I pull them up and they get stuck at the thigh level. Well, they went on. I looked down, a little in shock and thought, they are way too tight. So I sat down, then sat on the floor indian style (sorry, criss cross for the younger people) and they were comfortable. I don't think my mind has caught up with my size yet. Now, they are suppose to be roomy and fit over your clothing and I was wearing jeans, but I can't believe I fit into an XS. I've never even been a small anything. Just had to share - I knew you all could relate! Have a great evening!!
Way to go on the XS!!! That's fantastic! Originally Posted by ShineOn

She said that is good for people who get really stuck at a weight, or if you are traveling and need quick options to stay on plan, or possibly for me if I am going on vacation and want to get ahead a bit before making some bad vacation choices. (I know, I shouldn't plan to be bad)
For breakfast and lunch each day, you have either a nutribar, or a meal replacement shake (at least 1 shake each day, and there are 7 to a box). At dinner, you have your normal menu's options.
For ANYONE who HAS tried it: I am going to a beach vacation for 5 days in a couple weeks. Would I be better served to do the Metaquick for the week leading up to it, to possibly get a bigger loss before, or use it to get back into being OP when I get back, and possibly loss any gains?
Or is it just matter of choice?
Well...I did it & lost 2 pounds. So, I suppose it did get me off a plateau, but I didn't lose more than I should have on a typical week. Of course it was also 2 of the 4 I gained back and have been battling ever since. I just really need to up my water maybe...??? That's the only thing I've let slide (from about 72 oz. to 60 oz/day most days.)Originally Posted by SchoonCR
It is called METAQUICK. Have not tried it, and it was never even presented to me, at class or just in passing. I happen to be looking at all their drinks and saw the chocolate and vanilla meal replacement shakes.She said that is good for people who get really stuck at a weight, or if you are traveling and need quick options to stay on plan, or possibly for me if I am going on vacation and want to get ahead a bit before making some bad vacation choices.

Good luck if you do Metaquick. It seems to really work in a big way for some folks.
