  • I have a question. Friday will be 2 weeks since I officially started the program and the beige menu. When can I expect them to do my first measurements to see inched lost? Just curious....forgot to ask today when I went in for WI.

    Thanks!!
  • I think they measure you at 2 weeks, then at 1 month.. then every month after that. That's what my center did. They also give you a ribbon of the inches lost. I love being able to see the inches lost.
  • I've been OP for about a month, and will be getting my measurements done for the first time friday!! so i think monthly?? I'm excited to see what happends! My shirts are a bit loser!
  • Mine are done once a month, but things like that seem to vary from center to center.
  • thanks for the insight girls!! i guess i will see when i go in for my WI on saturday
  • It is exciting to see the total inches lost....we forget about the arms, legs ankles etc - it all counts! Good luck!
  • Some times they forget at the Bville center. They forgot my 1 month and just did it Tuesday when I asked them when my next one was. They were only 2 1/2 weeks late. But they did say it was 2 weeks after the official start of the program and then every month after that. Good luck on Saturday.
  • I started MRC on 1/15/10 and have been measured twice. The first time was 10 days ago and the second was yesterday. They told me then that I wouldn't be measured again for 1 month. I don't see much rhyme or reason to that. It feels good to be measured though. My consultant said that, generally, your inches are similar to your weight loss. That is true for me - I've lost 16 lbs and 15 inches. One of the weirdest things is that I've lost a 1/2 inch in my ankle - go figure!
  • Lolajean - I started 1/18/10 and like you have lost 1/2 inch in my ankle. I am at 17 pounds total lost so far and roughly 16 inches. I don't have a center anywhere near me, so all of my "visits" are through e-mail or on the phone. I'm weighing and measuring myself.
  • I got measured today during my WI. I am down 13 inches!!!! Not to mention....another 2 lbs! I was stoked! I got my ribbon....and it is going up on my fridge I really do love my center.

    Congrats. The ribbons are really cool, especially when you get the one that is longer than you are tall!!

    Congrats to everyone. This is something we should all be very proud of doing for ourselves.

  • thanks teresa and bunny!!! i am stoked about it! it just makes me see that i can do this the right way....no more starving, no more diet pills....the right way

    bunny - you should do your own ribbons. i put mine on my fridge...like a lot of other do on this site...just as a reminder of how far i have come. it really does help btw....when is your goal date?
  • Good for you. How exciting. Nine pounds!! How long have you been on program? 3 or 4 weeks? I am so proud for you! Diet pills are the pits huh? They made me feel HORRIBLE!

    Thank you I started pre-conditioning 2/5, and I started my first menu 2/12. So 9 lbs and 13 inches in about 3 weeks makes me very happy!!

    Diet pills are horrible!! I will never go that route again...no matter what!

    So, are you liking the program? Are you happy so far?
