It was requested that we start a new thread, so here you go!

Thanks for the new thread. I have been OP today and doing OK, I will wi on Wednesday before all the chaos of getting ready to leave, but.....I hope that I lose. We'll see.

Not sure if anyone has answered yet! bodyandhealthessentials has 3 types of meal replacement bars! Here are a couple of more links that have supplements very similar with a little more variety! (May want to cross reference with a box you might still have handy!)

You will love it here!

Thanks for the new thread!!!

Jewelie: Sending some GOOD VIBES your way! You will do great!

I saw them on the body&health site. Just wasn't sure how they compared, and I don't have a box anymore to check myself.... Does anyone?

Jeannie - Thanks for those links - I've bookmarked them now. I've never ordered any of the HNS through the mail, just pick them up at the center. It looks like there is a lot more of a variety out there. It made my mouth water!! Especially the coconut, I really miss that.

ROCKI If you're goiong to try meta quick, I would do a shake at BOTH lunch and breakfast and skip the bars altogether. Also, you must max out your HNS for the day (I did do a creamy everyday). I did it a couple of different ways and that is what worked for me best. For dinner I usually did fish instead of chicken for the low calorie thing. If you take liquid minerals that helped me with feeling tired sincve the cals are so low.
Good Luck!

Oops, posted this on the last thread & then remembered y'all had moved on...


LOL - I'm really trying to get caught up & not post (we were out of town the last 4 days so I'm way behind). But had to laugh at this...

When DH had a VERY demanding job at the Pentagon, the women in the office he worked in kept telling him he should take flowers home to me because he had to work such long hours. He kept telling them "You don't know her, she'll think I did something wrong!" Sure enough, he finally gave in & brought flowers to me. First thing I said ... "What did you do???" He said "I TOLD those women that's what you'd say!"

I'm lucky - I don't much need the big romantic gestures most of the time, and frankly I find flowers to be kind of a waste of money because they die. Take me out to eat & maybe a movie , get me a card, and I'm fine. Once in a blue moon he surprises me, which is nice - but mostly we joke about how he is NOT Mr. Romance.

Another post from Take 17...

If you don't have a swap basket at your center, maybe your could find a flavor of Crystal Light that you could use to mix up the peach mango concentrate with to change the flavor a bit - even lemonade can help change the flavor up just enough. I used to add my liquid minerals to any flavor of HNS that I found I didn't like so much - somehow it worked.

Hi everyone man you have all done so great. I only lost.5 last week after losing the 7.5 last week. Since Friday I have been eating chicken for lunch fish at dinner. I Hope it works.
I am so sorry alot of you have had so much hurt in your lives. i guess we all have heartaches and pain in our past. I have a motherand dad that is the best she and my dad had 7 kids I am the youngest daughter.
It was when I married that I had alot of hurt I married I swear three of the sorriest men I have been single 22 years and have found alot of peace I fiqured better to be single than have the heck beat out of me because all three of my husband ex-husbands beat me I just gave up on ever finding a decent man.
. I never had children because of Poylstitic ovarian diease. It really has bothered me through the years but my sisters and brothers have shared their children with me so I was very fortuned in my family.
Welcome to all of you that have just joined. all of the people on here are great and help. I myself have lost 67.5lbs and like a pound and a half from the 70lb board which I have for my goal this month I started this program last July but alot of my regular medicine makes my weight loss slow. Believe me medicine does slow you down but I tell you this this program works.
Hope all of you have a great and wonderful week Melanie

From Take 17:

Sounds like a good plan - after all, stress makes you retain water!
If you gain too much you probably won't be able to stabilize. But you should also be able to tell them "I'm ready to stabilize, I'm happy where I am", go through stabilization, and then if you decide you want to lose a bit more down the road, you've got the plan & you know how to make your own HNS - you can go back to the weight-loss menu to get down to where you'd like to be.

I'm pretty sure the place you ordered from, the mydietshopz and the dietdirect.com are all the same EXACT products. The boxes are the same, just the name is different. Plus, they have other (different) products that you can't get @ MRC as well. That makes it even easier to do the replacements b/c they have a bigger variety.

Sorry, can't help with that one! I don't eat the bars too often and the ones I brought, I had put in a baggie to pack! Most of the supplements such as drinks, creamies that I have looked at, all seem to be about the same (just different name brands). Be carefull to look at the boxes carefully though, as someone else had pointed out a while back, some of the fruit drinks say meal replacement on the box (which is not the case with some of the same flavors with MRC).

No problem, actually most of those sites, I have saved over time from posts on here! So it was a collective effort!

Some GOOD VIBES coming your way! Sorry to hear what you have been through! Ohh it is so true, we each in our own way have had our struggles!

Jewelie: I almost forgot, thank you for the flowers! I actually have a little story to share! My DH, he is not a sentimental/romantic one either! He did do something that was soo sweet (caught me by surprise)! He found an old photo of him and my son together and made me up a Mother's Day Card and sent via email with the sweetest paragraph I have read in quite some time!
