Hi everybody... I'm new here and to Herbal Magic. I started HM on June 11th and lovin it so far. I'm from Canada, my name is Isabel as you can see LOL.I'm 37 years old

and my weight when I joined HM was 184lbs

and now on June 14th I weigh 178lbs wooo hooo finally out of the 80's.I'm 5'5 so I'm suppose to weigh 135-140 so my goal is 135.I recieved the new stuff on Friday and its awesome with more choices. I thought weighing all my food would be hard and to take my pills(I usually forgot other diet pills) would be hard but I like planning my meals now. I dread when I wont be losing so much or when I gain a pound or two because of whatever reason. Everybody tells me it will happen so prepare yourself. I came here to get support so I wont fall off. I hope to make friens here and help others too. well gonna go and read other posts so ttyl

I am about to give up!! I just can't seem to see a significant loss. I went in on Friday and was down .6 and got crapped on for not losing enough weight to date. The owner told me she was going to be dissapointed in me if I have to buy more weight loss time. I can tell you this, I am not buying more weight loss time. Do they realize how expensive this is for people?? 56 bucks a week just for the WM2000's. I paid $800.00 at start up only to find out I could have made a deal for a better price. Talk about buyers remorse! I feel like I am not getting what I paid for.
So fed up ladies... I'm about to say screw it! I can't see myself going to the center this week after what happened Friday.. especially when TOM came this weekend!!!

I dont think the owner has the communication skills to effectively support you! Not unusual. There are personality/communication issues in every area of life. It there a person at the centre you would rather deal with?Maybe you can call headoffice to have your file transfered to another location. I am sure that for you to lose you just need to juggle the portions abit to see more consistant 1-2 lb losses. Hang in there. Dont let one or two people discourage you from what you want..Your health

So the weekend was alright, made it through being out of town. Although I was very nervous it actually went ok. I went to WI on Monday and was down another 3 pounds since Wednesday. So I have a total of 19 pounds lost in 2.5 weeks so far!! yay!! My center has no idea about when the new material is going to come out so I will still be looking forward to that. 38 pounds to go for me until goal...

In 2 months my weight loss is 27.

I was up .4 this past Monday and dread going in tomorrow..might hold off til Thursday.

For the lady who is having ahard time with the w/l I was like that for 3 weeks and it was so hard..we changed how I was taking in my foods such as starches and the next week I lost 4.9..

I made my goal for my daughters grad so July 1 is time to set a new goal, I am enjoying fitting into clothes from a few years ago..it really helps ones outlook.

Good luck to you all on w/i and measurements..

Although, I'm still supposed to by 3.6 more lower by Monday for their records. Oh well, can only try. Go Me Go Me Go Me LOL

ItsGreat2BeMe · 06-18-2008, 10:31 PM

Takingchances: 27 pounds in 2 months WOW!!! I'll be lucky if I hit 20!!!

Was hoping to put my star on 20 before WI but 2.2 pounds before Friday seems impossible!!! The funny thing is that I've been losing less in the last 2 weeks since I have started circuit training but have been getting more and more people notice a difference. I guess muscle does gain huh?

Popocorn time :-) Hang in there Chickies....will be back Friday xox

takingchances · 06-19-2008, 07:54 AM

This wek is sucking up .2 but did lose 2.7 inches in the last week.

Anyone else have those easy weeks where you can drop almost 5 pounds and then weeks like this wehere nothing gets dropped??!

This week I am officially 16 weeks post partum and have been on the diet for 10 weeks..

I go in today again for another weigh in because I am gone starting tomorrow for 4 days.. they stocked me up on S/B and F/B for the mini vacation..hope I have the strength to stick to it and not come back weighing more then when I left.

TrudyF · 06-19-2008, 08:46 AM

Crap I lost my post.. Grrrr

TrudyF · 06-19-2008, 08:50 AM

Thanks Julia for your inspirational words. You are a wise woman.

I was down another 1.2 yesterday so that brings me to almost 35lbs. I need to get to the centre more often since I seem to run out of time. I am going back on Friday and hopefully will be down another lb.

I am going camping this weekend and it will be hard to find the right foods to stick with it. I hope it doesn't rain.

TMo Hang in there it is so worth it in the long run.. I know its very expensive but maybe they can help you see what is going wrong. Why you are not loosing. Good luck.

Welcome Isabel...

gtekkrom · 06-19-2008, 10:12 AM

OK, so I went back in yesterday. I got my fav girl there and once we got in the WI room, I shut the door and asked if she could council me moving forward. I didn't get into details with her, because it's her boss. But I think she understood without me not having to say much. Such a shame.

I am down another 1lb. Woot for me! I am also down another 5 inches!
I had a long talk with my hubby. He said "you're not losing weight for them, you're losing it for you, so screw what they say and just keep your head up." What a wise man! So on I go.

Christina, what is the chicken/spinach plan? I don't think I want to ask in case it sucks and I will be forced to do it. Can you elaborate?
I have already cut beef/pork out of my diet. I am only eating chicken and fish. I do have trouble getting all my veggies in. I am spreading out my proteins through each meal. No starches after 3pm. What else can I do?????
At least I am consistently losing. Not much, but it's better than going up!

Good luck to all of you!

headgirl · 06-19-2008, 07:33 PM

Everyone here is doing so well and are so motivating and supportive to eachother.......I just love it reading all the posts. Your husband does sound like a smart man......he makes a good point with his comment. Good luck on the camping trip Trudy, you will do great. What exactly are the main benefits of the S/B and F/B? So I WI tomorrow, have not been in since Monday and I am really nervous since it is not a great TOM to be going. Hope everything goes good, I wanna break 20 lb! I will give an update tomorrow......
