I just joined this forum b/c I was interested in researching MRC to see if I was just a failure or if MRC had problems. In my quest (I had really known it before hand) I have acknowledged it was my lack of effort and motivation that let me put down my HNS and my menu. I am feeling ready to go back again- but I have an intense fear of being the "failure" who couldn't do it right the first time. I know all I need is courage to get back in there- but does anyone have any stories or uplifting information who went back a second (or more) time around?

MRC and I worked very well together for about 3 months while I was in college. It was the first time I actually stuck with something b/c of the accountability. I felt so good being thinner. As graduation approached, my eagerness to work hard at eating right soon fell out of sight. I think it's safe to say I was even 'afraid to be skinny' because I never have. My extra inches are a security blanket for me. I'd like to get on the program again, and really do it right. I want to live the life my friends get to live. I want to look not just good, but sexy in a swimsuit. I want to have more energy and more confidence. And more so than anything else- I will not buy another size bigger in clothes. I have had enough, and it is time for me to do something to change my life. Please share your stories. Thank you!

Sounds like you are so ready to do this again! I know from reading the posts that there a quite a few that have come back to this because it does work. It's my first and hopefully last time with MRC! I have tried too many other diets and they have not worked. I finally made a mental decision that I truly needed to make lifestyle changes! Good luck and I really hope you decide to go back or find the right program for you.

I did decide to go back, and I am thankful for it. I went in today actually and got signed up again. It was nice to see new faces and have a fresh start. I asked them to disregard my previous charts and let me start on a clean slate. This is my final course of action- and I am going to keep up with MRC and keep the lbs off. I moved about 6 mos ago and now I'm going to a different location, I like the fresh start feeling. I am going to take what I learned before and combine what I am going to learn and really succeed. I already feel like this is it. I know it is a long road ahead, but I am ready for the hard hike uphill. I feel like I can do this. I am going to make certain to try the recipes and be creative. That is how I think I started to lose my motivation. I got bored and lazy. I see you've lost about 30 pounds, way to go! Keep up the hard work, I really look forward to talking with you again. We can do this!
