Welcome its nice to hear from someone who has been on the program so long and still going strong! Congrats!! talk to you soon!! Have a good weekend ladies..i think im skipping my weigh in tonight lol xx
has anyone done the 3day cleanse b4?? im thinking about starting it tomorrow basically its white protein and green veg, only :s for three days but you can eat as much of that as u want, and you have to have two eggs in the morning. after the three days they slowly re introduce your other foods until ur back to normal. the ladies at my hm think itll be a good way to shed a few pounds/inches before this weekend! apparently its usually like 5 lbs in the 3 days..i dunoo if i can doo it tho lol
Hi Everyone, I am very new to this forum but am looking for people also on the HM program, this seems to be the place! I have a long road ahead of me but a decent start so far, started Dec 1 2008 at 328.6 lbs, and weighed in yesterday at 299.0...still have what feels like a million left to go!!
Hello, I am also new to this program. Wow, it looks like a lot of chat happens for the Herbal Magic gals. I joined Herbal Magic January 1, 2008. I did awesome for the first six months and was down 56 pounds by June. We were building a house and summer got very busy and stressful and then we moved and then Christmas came. Well, I gained back 9 pounds in the last half of the year (6 over Christmas alone!) and started being serious again this month. At my weigh in yesterday, I was finally back to 56 pounds down. My start weight was 300.8 and yesterday was 244.8. I am determined to stick to plan and lose. We have a wedding to go to in Mexico in 12 weeks...
Thanks Lady! I am trying not to think about it too much, if i am doing all i can there is no need to kick myself right? i am .4 away from 30lbs lost (hoping to get that today at WI) and 30lbs is nothing to beat myself up over, thats a lot of weight in its self. My goal was to lose 100lbs by july that makes me 33.3% done right ? ha ha
Friend, 30 lbs IS allot! Have you ever gone to the hardware store and picked up a 30lb box of nails and carried it around the store??? What an awesome feel when you put it down!!! you keep going girl!!!
UFF: And yes, 30 pounds is great. I do that too where I measure percentage. I also have done times of my life where I was at that weight. You know, wedding weight, the weight when I started dating my husband, pre-pregnancy weight, 9 months pregnant weight... It is great to be somewhere you have been before.
For me, it has been helpful to remember good times in my life and remember what I am working for. I am so close to the 50% mark. I am so hoping to reach it next week. We shall see...
for brekkie I do 1 protein *usually 2 eggs) 2 slice ww multigrain bread toasted, 1 tsp becel and sometimes 1 1/2 oz cheeze.
I keep my fruit for a snack later on in the am.

Hey Lady, your breakfast sounds exactly the same as mine, i LOVE eggs and toast, i used to eat it before i started so it was not a hard change for me at all, although I rarely ate breakfast before at all, so that in itself was a change i guess lol.
Thanks guys, i am very proud of my 30 lbs, most of the time, just have those 'off days' i guess. And I have picked up 30lbs before and its amazing that i managed to carry that around all the time. My Friend is a personal trainer (actually works with Paul from X-weighted if you have seen that show) and she has given me and another friend some 'routines' to do and one of them involves running with 2 15lb weights, i figured it would be a since, **** i carried it around on a dialy basis before lol...it was A LOT harder than i expected!
