Desi We have close to the same ##s and its always important to know that we may not have as big a losses every week, but we'll get there. Congrats on retiring your old jeans!! That's the best feeling ever. I have two closets in my house that were full of clothes from size 4-14, not kidding FULL to the point the bars had to be reinforced. I seperated them by size once I started program (instead of season like b4). Every time I find something too big I get to go shopping in my "skinny closet". I have a huge box on the floor of by "fat closet" that I'm filling up to sell to Plato's closet. It's really cool to see it get fuller and my "skinny" closet get emptier.
Confession time...I was in New Orleans for a few days, I had decided I was going to cheat once a day and took fat blockers. I cheated a LOT, skipped meals in favor of Hurricanes and Hand Grenades! I won't go into the meals I DID eat because you'll all kick me out, but I was bad. Here's the thing, I came home CRAVING green vegs and I've NEVER done that. I also came down with a terrible cold that kept me down for another 4 days. I did lose .5 lbs, but I will never do that to myself again. It just makes you feel AWFUL.[/QUOTE]
Cargirl, Yes, we are very similar in all these numbers and your in Colorado too. How funny. I hope to be like you someday and have the old clothes organized to get rid of. I just cant seem to do that. When was your first day of MRC on the menus? I started November 10th.
Thanksgiving was good. Lots of temptations but I have to say I was pretty good. Ate a few off plan things and that was how we planned on doing it anyhow. Friday and today we went shopping and Friday it was for 7 hours of walking and shopping. I had a large green tea vs. a mocha from that over priced coffee shop we all seem to love and it was cheap and good.
I have decided not to weigh in until Tuesday or Wed. just so I can be sure and have a good few days before going back. Also, I know that we are doing a full weigh and measure date next day I go in so I really want it to be positive.
I started the Hoodia this week and maybe that is helping on the cravings but I along with someone else *dont remember who* feels that it makes you not feel thirsty and i agree totally.
Keep sharing your fat burn stories, love em!!
